Yeah, but that would pretty much end the war, with all three members of the Entente suffering crippling defeats (Tannenburg, Baltic, Marne)- the war will be over by Christmas. I was thinking more that a few more things go badly for the French early on and by October we have street fighting in...

Best the Jews could probably hope for would be some sort of autonomous zone around Tel Aviv- any Israel similar to that of OTL seems implausible.

I'd like to see an early "win" for Germany in France, but have the war keep going until 1916 or 1917. After all, there will still be a rump France even with Paris gone, and as long as Britain's in Russia will be as well. I wonder where Britain would attack though, if the Russians are their main...

Ditto here... any ideas on when the CP would win?

An American-Japanese excuse for seizing the NEI will probably be a bit more accepted than a German one for attacking Holland itself. Of course, once Germany's been sealed away from the Pacific the American-Japanese alliance will start to crack. Britain will be seen as a much more favorable...

With no British base and more than likely a war still going with Japan, there won't be much support for that kind of thing. Plus FDR/Truman would be accused of helping the commies...

That depends when the CP win. If they win early Turkey might actually gain some land, if it's in 1917 or 1918 then it'll be tough to get out of the peace talks without some land concessions.

Well, some of those seem unlikely. Not many Jews liked the idea of Madagascar, and Alaska might not be too hospitable either. But the idea of more than one Israel (Prussia, Uganda, Siberia) is interesting.

Having Posen and the areas around it gives them a nice bulge into Germany from where they can cut off any troops in Prussia quickly and then drive on Berlin in any future war.

How's the Second Holocaust one bad though? It has a pretty detailed description of how we wipe out Russia in about a day then spend a few more dropping bombs randomly on any traces of civilization left there. The idea that we'd become an international pariah for such a thing seems unlikely as...

The Ottoman Empire will only be divided if they enter the war, which they didn't in OTL until December IIRC. With a Russian victory at Tannenburg and the Allies stopping the Germans after the Miracle of the Marne it's not going to look like anything the Ottomans can take advantage of. Even with...

Just assume that Stan Lee dies in a car crash in 1960 or retires early or something. Sure, Kirby and Dirko and the rest are still there, but one of the main minds behind Marvel Comics is out of the picture. As a result, there's no Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man... how does this affect comics...

Work with my resistance team to kill some more of you commie pigs- we will dismantle, piece by piece if we must, this phony "democracy" you've build on blood and lies. Long live capitalism! :mad:

Hmm, does Saddam have the troops to garrison the whole coast though? The initial landings at least might not be too bad.

Looked at a few of the staff briefings from November (since they're after Diem's gone), and I did get the feeling that not only JFK but his advisors were strongly considering and even planning a drawing down of US troops. Still, a year later those advisors were telling Johnson that combat troops...

This seems possible to me; France will be able to last into 1915. This means that the war likely continues, though Britain will have to use the BEF elsewhere after it's pulled out (successful Gallipoli?). Germany will be able to send some more troops to the east though, likely using them to...

Hmm, Poland is more evenly divvyed up here- looks like Prussia even gets Warsaw back. Maybe if revolutions similar to those of 1830 come around Poland manages to break away successfully due to less Prussian-Russian cooperation?

That's assuming that there aren't any of either. Sure, JFK isn't killed, but with a more violent and bitter civil rights movement (MLK loses the govt.'s support once he starts speaking out against Vietnam) then that could be a catalyst for unrest instead. King might get shot a few years earlier...

So does this mean the Big Three cities get taken? If so, I wouldn't be suprised if Leningrad is all but leveled during the final German assault, Stalingrad becomes a Rattenkrieg like in OTL, and who knows, maybe the Russians burn Moscow like in 1812 so the Germans won't get it. I remember...

Agree here. It was a very hammer and anvil approach, the Soviets pushing in unstoppably from the east while the Anglo-Amis launched constant blows from the east. The job will be quite a bit harder without US support though. Sure they would've needed to guard the Atlantic coast, but all those...
