Where I can see the Ottomans deploying is Montenegro/Albania, something that will shake up the southern front quite a bit, and ensures a supply line of sorts to the Serbs. Of course, this assumes that Greece is neutral. However, there was a decent chance that Greece would open hostilities with...

If the British land in central and northern Norway unprovoked, I don't see the Germans not responding with a hastily-improvised landing in Oslo, probably without the paratrooper component. To what extent the political scene in Norway shakes up is an open question. Without the Fallschirmjaeger...

Horthy was in control of large body of 'White' troops near Budapest, with French blessing.

Misread the title, somehow thought it was about the DDR invading the Kaliningrad Oblast

So the phone ate my reply. Long story short. - I doubt the offer in the OP was ever actually made. - Assuming it was made, most likely Ferdinand "graciously declines" after diplomatic wrangling - The only way this could work is if Ferdinand's role on the Hungarian throne was purely ceremonial...

I was talking about Pydna. The elephants allowed the Roman right to crush the Macedonian left, even though there were ample amounts of peltasts present. This allowed both the infantry to the flank the left of the Macedonian phalanx, and the cavalry and elephants to strike the Macedonian...

The decisive battle between Rome and Macedon was decided by Roman elephants

Why not?

The trick is to redeploy men and gear from Italy and the Balkans to France, as soon as these fronts are settled

There is either no 1902 secret treaty between France and Italy regarding Libya, or the French simply ignore it. Either way, France occupies Libya before the Italians do. How does this shake things up?

To what extent would the Entente governments be willing to consider a negotiated solution if the CPs look good on paper, with the secondary fronts in their favor and France still being a stalemate?

Going to keep this short, since a restart ate my whole previous thread... The OTL plan of knocking out Russia, transferring west and knocking France out before the Americans arrive did not work (You don't say, Cpt. Obvious...) What this thread is not about is finding a way for getting the above...

This requires, above all else, an America-screw involving either (1) a permanent fracturing of the country or (2) someone else nuking it before it can develop its own program, though most likely both. To get the first, you probably need a WW1 analogue that creates the underlying conditions for...

Would they rebel though?

I'd also be interested to know if Wang Jingwei's influence would increase, if it looks like Chiang is about to lose

This poses an interesting dilemma for both France and Germany wrt to their defensive setup - does France extend the Maginot Line forward, does Germany build the Siegfried Line around it? Moreover, the crucial concentration of armored forces next to Luxembourg will be a lot harder to hide ITTL.

The two had disputes over various Arctic islands, particularly Wrangel Island. The US probably occupies Kamchatka (which is nigh-impossible to reach by land in any kind of strength due to a total absence of roads) and calls it a day

Constantine "the Great" is immaterial to the dominance of Christianity in the grand scheme of things. The only reason he could pull it off in the first place was the fact that Christianity had grown to such an extent throughout the Empire that an emperor adopting it was almost bound to happen...

Wehrmacht Sgt. Alfred Haase might die in the fighting, thus ABBA as we know it might be no more

What "underwater tanks"?
