Great to see you here, Han :) Great work so far, keep it coming.

Well, considering that a lot of troops would have to be used to occupy the all France, having French Government continuing fight from North Africa, safe Britain, it would be really hard to Mr. Hitler to launch Barbarossa.

There was a popular option among opponents of the cease-fire (like Prime Minister Paul Reynaud, Minister Georges Mandel, General de Gaulle) to, in front of losing a battle of France, evacuate Government, remaining forces and, of course, not touched large French navy to North Africa (perhaps with...

Yes, I know, because, unfortunatelly, that how it goes down with history.

Under a POD of Janio staying in office? Well, on the other hand, Quadros actually considered running again in 1989, even receiving some encouragments, but decided against due to poor heath and endorsed Collor. Nice idea for a "by the fluke of a Gods" TL I'm thinking about. In general...

Ok, another potential butterfly: Assuming that Collor's brother keep his mouth shut, thus without impeachment proceeding Fernando is able to complete his term. Thus, Franco never became President, Cardoso is never named Minister of Finances and, thus, is not elected in 1994.

I read somewhere Quadros was an excellent professor ot the portuguesse language, so how can you expect from him to excel in geography at one?

Out of actual question but still regarding the topic: I really don't like the term, unfortunatelly widely accepted, of "miracla". This was coined by the right (endecja) in order to understate Piłsudski's accomplishment as C-in-C.

Operation Ajax broke the third mentioned force and paved a war for Khomeini and the Islamic Republic Rise.

1. True that Kubitschek had a support in a large sector of army. After all, that was military which deposed Luz after 2 days in power out of fear he may support a real goup. 2. War with France? Seriously? PLEASE tell more :D 5. Yes, I know that's a really long longshot.

Once I go throught more lecture, I'll try to think about more.

Well, if you think that I'm going any deeper as soon as next click then you're wrong.

Ok, thanks for advice for a confused newbie. I started the thread :)

During his forced retirement, as the military regime (imposed in a large part thank to crisis he provoced back in 1961) did not allowed him to participate in politics, Janio Quadros was rather a pathetic figure. This alcoholic, demagogue and cabotine, elected as President in 1961 in landslide...

Btw, can someone tell me which board is appropriate for TLs?

No Bikinis For You (Or A Quadros Return) During his forced retirement, as the military regime (imposed in a large part thank to crisis he provoced back in 1961) did not allowed him to participate in politics, Janio Quadros was rather a pathetic figure. Janio Quadros during his better days...

I was intending to start Brazil what-if TL on other forum, but there would be no interest at all, as this place is badly U.S.-centered. As recent history of Brazil is one of my favorite topics (along with U.S., Arab World, Stalin era or post WWII France) I wonder if anyone would be interested in...

Preferably with all of them at one.

Well, some parties are hazardous to health...

Bad for Poland, obviously. However, I don't think Western Europe would be futher endangered by the Bolsheviks, as their army was also tired. Maybe Germany, still in mess after Empire collapse, which can cause futher problem as get under influence. But beside that, I don't see neither France nor...
