If the Brusilov offensive during WW1 was offensive (northern generals actually aided by holding up the Germans, Romania being able to enter the war 1 week earlier than OTL), and Russia is able to knock out the Austrians, then Russia probably have some extra time to play around with (and probably...

That has never stopped DC from buying other companies. They were quite aggressive for decades. Though the things they'd want from that purchase would probably be things like the Howling Commandos and Cap. The original Torch might after some time show up as a guest appearance and Namor would...

Italians crossing the Isonzo? Impossibru.

To actually hammer in the point: a)The Germans in the international zone would starve, leading to them abandoning the International zone and all flee to North and South Germany, overburdening these two countries that wouldn't be able to feed all the refugees. b) The map wasn't reflecting the...

One where there isn't a cold war looming and destroying German economy for all time seems like the sensible solution.

One of the reasons they allowed expelled Germans to emigrate to the Western Zone was that they'd have problems accomodating for all of them in their zone, so it was good if as many as possible became the West's problem. Also as stated, no hard border yet, so many of them could just go to the...

At some point one of the Northern warlord cliques would achieve hegemony in the North creating a somewhat stable Beijing government.

The southern provinces were their own unique headache though. They were completely drained by "governors" who went there for a quick cash grab. The neftenya- gabbar system where soldier settlers were controlling the land, and the original inhabitants were serfs basically madeany progress...

He already defeated Gugsa Wale's rebellion in 1930, Balcha Safo's rebellion in 1928 as well as Tekle Haymanot's plot to free Iyasu V in 1932. If Haile Selassie had a couple of more of those, his position might have become strong enough.

And progress was slow, and Haile Selassie probably would need to defeat a few more rebellions to really cement his power, the Emperor in Addis can say alot, but unless turns up with an army his words means nothing.

Well first, how would Ethiopia pay for them? One of Ethiopia's problems was the economic system was still feudal, and monetary politics generally weak. Haile Selassie really did what he could to modernize Ethiopia, but he would have needed decades, not just a few years. The Ethiopian army was...

If Austria- Hungary collapses for some reason (hard since a German Empire would probably try to stop it from collapsing), then the Austrians might want to join Germany, but not 100% sure. The Germans, if Prussian Junkers still have much influence will not want them, to not increase the number of...

Stalin had very much the intention to end the threat to Leningrad and establish full control of the Finnish Gulf, and annexing Finland was the only way to do that. He also wanted to restore the borders of the Russian Empire, and Finland was a part of said empire. So saying Stalin didn't want to...

I have my doubts. Even a democratic USSR / Russia would probably see the West as a threat in their backyard. See Russia in the 90s.

Yeah, the mutinies would be much shorter and the French would return to the trenches if the Germans attacked. The French were unwilling to be sent on another disatrous offensive. Defending against a German disastrous offensive is another thing completely.

Lukashenka's Belarus is in practice a very reluctant vassal of Russia.

15 million hostile people is still hard to control, especially since it means long time hostile occupation of territories, and probably colonization policies tomake Mexico less Mexican which will be resisted by the local population.

Yes 52k people who's vote you don't want to matter (those few of them that actually get to vote that is).

Yes. Making it it's own State would not make sense.

Could well be they wouldn't like eachother. Regarding A-L, whose army is there? Since that's the answer to the question.
