Oh, I don't really see them introducing Muslim tourmai. I just thought about replacing Coptic landowners by Muslim landowners. I doubt that there would be large cities to speak of after the Romans and the copts went through. Some light Muslim force - actually they´ll likely use Bedouins - would...

I think it's already established that the Romans think that the Copts are largely to blame for this mess, nevertheless the Romans are willing to clean it up. These two points will therefore shape the future of Egypt. My guess is that the Romans engage more and more and militarily defeat the...

What about Portuguese Guinea, is that still held by Portugal? For the Protectorate, this is a major success. Even if they suffered massive losses like Britain, the leadership of the Protectorate likely wouldn't care that much. And I seriously doubt that their losses are comparably high - though...

So this is when the "Wanking" begins. Not on the battlefield, not in the headquarters in Berlin or Moscow, but on the bond market. Great TL.

Populationwise, Germany might be able to overcome the bloodbath pretty fast. The wide world is unaffected by the war, and in all likelihood is eagerly awaiting the return of German high tech products in chemistry and electronics. That should help the transfer from wartime to peacetime economy...

The prosperity of the US will IMHO be the greatest threat to communism in Canada and hence to British communism in general. The Canadians will more and more get the impression that the US system is the better one, like GDR citizens learned more and more how FRG citizens had it better. Question...

I could see a scenario where the converted christians successfully revolt, be it that parts of the Imperial family converts, the Imperial family largely dies, more nobles convert, the shogun sees christendom as a way to secure his power... But even with a christianized Japan, why should they...

Did you consider the international market? The Simpsons for example run pretty well in Germany in endless repeats. This show is a sure buy for networks worldwide, and it probably still makes a decent dollar with merchandise. and it still holds a significant influence on popular culture. In any...

Other options for Prussia could be the remainder of Vorpommern, which was still Swedish at the time, and parts of Poland such as Kulmerland. And there's always the possibility of a complete land swap: Prussia gaining something nearby with the prince of that land being compensated by something...

This. filler If there is only an Austro-Serbian war, the Austrians would make Serbia into their puppet. AH has more than enough restive nationalities.

I fully agree that your terms of Britain are to lenient. At the very least you should consider the following: You have a sizeable Spanish contribution to the invasion force. The Spanish would want something in return. Thus Gibraltar should become Spanish at the minimum, British Honduras as...

Could we have a map, please?

I imagine it will be close to the German-French relationship after WWII. They do not really like each other, but they fear the bad Russian in the East much more and know that they have to stick together therefore. That leads to continued cooperation in government, science, administration and...

Sounds reasonable, but then the Magyars were the last of such tribes entering the Pannonioan bassin and weren't defeated by other coming later. Probably that stems from them establishing a stable Kingdom - but then it implies that the Germans could do the same. at lest theoretically. I'm not...

There's plenty of medieval opportunities for Switzerland to expand, and moany of those would trigger a larger role of Switzerland in the intenrational stage, allowing for even more expansion. For example, if the Swiss would have taken Mulhouse and some other Southern German cities North of the...

I doubt that complete assimilation would have been possible, after all there would still be a Poland just outside of the border. An lone community, such sa the Sorbs, will much more easily assimilate. Nevertheless, avoiding the world wars and making Germany a more liberal, democratic country...

With France out, I don't see the war continuing for any longer. If France is defeated very early in the war, there'd be a rather lenient peace among all. The Germans in Paris way outtrump the Russians in Königsberg, for example. The later, the higher German demands - and the more urgent do...

The only neighbouring countries of Russia with Pacific ports are China and Korea, one is currently at war with Russia the other is under Japanese rule and the Japanese were recently at war with Russia and have no interest in helping them. Furthermore, Pacific harbours for Russia are...

We shouldn't underestimate the psychological effect of gas warfare either. The Russians in Kronstadt will expect being subject to agas attack once the German ships approach. And they don't really have defenses against that threat. That will have quite an effect. Even more so once the first gas...

This. While the German and Austrain Jews did not emmigrate, the vast majority of Jews in Israel today decends from Eastern-European Jews, Jiddish-speakers, which often already knew German or easily learned it. The question is rather why they didn't make Jiddish their language...
