  1. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Hmmm..... perhaps after Hungarian independence a sort of cooperation between Vienna & Budapest starts in the Balkans: after all they share interests and chiefly a common enemy, the Russian Bear. I'm intrigued about TTL developments in Balkan scenario. It will depend on the correlation of...

    Austro-Czech-Croatians will probably be interested too in expanding their sphere of influence in W Balkans....now that Croatians play a greater role in imperial government
  3. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Such an arrogant guy (TTL version of Leopold II of Belgium) will surely prefer being styled Constantine XII instead of "Constantine I".....
  4. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    It looks like once Greek parlamentarian system is consolidated, a less competnt king will inherit the throne. Again good chances for TTL Greece: if Constantine finally becomes a roi faineant, greek politicians will thank him for it.

  6. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I'm curious about how will TTL Crimean War (if It happens) develop. Given the fact that there is no A-H, and probably independent Hungary and Triune Monarchy won't be powerful enough to pose a threat to Russian aggressiveness, there are less counterbalances available. Will Greece evolve to...

    TTL is evolving from a Greece-focused one towards a global shakeup !!. I'm enjoying It even more this way. IMHO great TLs deal with global scenarios. Keep it up, Earl Marshall !
  11. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 12/27)

    Shame about Moros i Cristians festivals ITTL !! It will be interesting to see how TTL unfolds in N Africa theatre... Algiers-Oran and its hinterland seems al ideal location (fertile terrain, easy irrigation, and chiefly the natural border Tell Atlas represents) .....perhaps we'll see how a...
  12. Una diferente ‘Plus Ultra’ - the Avís-Trastámara Kings of All Spain and the Indies (Updated 12/27)

    Great TL, I'm following It with interest.... About the spanish presence in N Africa, I suppose it's TTL equivalent to OTL war in Flanders, in terms of resources and military deployment......but with an obvious advantage fot the Spaniards inhabiting the Mediterranean litoral. But I haven't...
  13. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Well, Thessaly was ceded OTL too in 1878 without firing a shot......the Ottomans were "invited" by the Powers to transfer territory in reward for Greek neutrality. True that the Ottomans were the losers then, but.... I'm curious about the consequences of an more anti-Ottoman France ITTL...
  14. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I cannot foresee exactly where this TL leads to... at first I thought I had subscribed a realistic Greece wank.....but all these butterflies that lead to earlier Ottoman reforms and consequently to a better performance by the ''Not So Sick' Man of Europe ITTL....well, I'm totaly bewildered at t...
  15. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Oh, that's evident, I meant that TTL improved Greece is expected to avoid most mistakes it made OTL, but IMO a stronger military, economy, more stabilized political situation ....will throw the Greeks with no brakes against the Ottomans & co. in Crimean War......or at least it could probably...

    I find it hard to imagine how ITTL far stronger Greece will resist the temptation of marching north once Crimean War erupts.....

  18. Successful 1936 Spanish coup

    About the possibilities of Spanish limited intervention in WWII…..IMHO there are no powerful motivations for TTL Spain to join the Axis. Firstly because in spite of some vague ideological affiliation with Axis powers, TTL Spain , as OTL, would remain dependent on oil from Allied side, and the...

    If Ottoman Palestine is ceded ITTL to Egypt at least till Ismail Pasha's death (late 1840s) ...it would open an interesting window for earlier Zionism. Since some of the religious conflicts which arose during that period also targeted jews (e.g Damascus affair), and considering that Egyptian...
