It doesn't really count when the comparison to the Nazis is completely valid and factual.

You know, my opinion of the Nazis has shifted since coming to this site. At first, when I was in elementary school, there was this childlike fear of it that we all have when learning about this stuff. Then general apathy as my interest waned, and then humor as all the jokes were made about it...

I think he's referring to the Nazi classification of Bulgarians and Croats as 'Honorary Aryans' for the sake of having them as allies. Considering they were calling for the destruction of all Slavs at this time, it proves Nazi hypocrisy really knows no bounds, not that we didn't already know that.

Damn, beat me to it. Though I guess if we're talking about relatively 'good' Axis powers, Bulgaria would count as well. Only occupied Macedonia and Thrace when the Germans offered it, didn't give their Jews up even if they did make some laws against them to please the Germans, had their Tsar...

Make a Wehrmacht coup happen sometime in Germany in the late '30s. The war is much less racially focused, and the edicts against Jews are knocked back, or at least not increased to the level of the Holocaust. Though I have to say, some of the comments people are making are kind of disturbing...

If there was, it would hardly be ample enough to stop any combined Austro-Russian forces. The Russians were already sending 300,000 men through Germany by the time Waterloo occurred. If Napoleon somehow defeats the Coalition at Waterloo, he'll have to march all the way to the Rhein, and defeat...

... It still seems to fit perfectly. Hello!

Ah, thanks for that. I'll be sure to keep that term and this book in mind the next time I see CSA wankery. Which on this forum, should be about 5 minutes. :p And thank you for the wit good sir!

That is both the greatest and most appropriate response to that imaginable. I applaud you sir. Though just to ask, as I'm unfamiliar with the term, is a Lost Causer someone who really likes wanking the CSA, as seen here?

In answer to the OP, I'd say it's very ASB, but it's already been stated. *Looks that book up on Wiki* What the fuck did I just look at.

And I can consider that a victory. :p I'm sure if Germany could, they would have reduced France to such a state. Which is what they did want in WWI. And Snake Featherston summed up the whole issue pretty concisely with his post. Sometimes I have to remind myself that Germany was not really a...

That's my point really. It's interesting, and god if an over-aggressive Bismark would have a bunch of interesting butterflies. Well they aren't Nazi Germany, the CSA, the Byzantine Empire, or Great Britain, so we can't possibly make them do well. :p Certainly. Germany's very existence made...

STOP DESTROYING MY IMPLAUSIBLE IDEAS! :mad:

1914 certainly proved that. :D Well, here's how it would play out in my mind. 1) Germany occupies all of Austria, Bohemia, and Slovenia. 2) Italy gets Venetia, Trieste, and possibly some of the Dalmatian coastline. 3) Hungary gets the rest of their ancestral lands. 4) Russia takes Galicia...

I'm sure the Ottomans, the Russians, and the Italians would say otherwise. And internally, every minority besides the Germans themselves and the some Hungarians would likewise want the Empire to burn. He's Bismark though. If he wanted too, he could have had the whole war over before it even...

Austria was just in revolution only a couple of decades ago. With how eager the Hungarians were to increase their status after the Prussians inflicted a light blow to the Empire in the Austro-Prussian War, I'm sure a deal could have been arranged in which Prussia recognizes an independent...

If North Germany does unite, it's practically inevitable that the South would join up with the North, either through force or diplomacy. The North's more industrialized, has more manpower, and has a much greater army than the south. Austria would be their only real protector, but as shown in...

Even with the Austrian situation, he was more focused on raising Prussia above Germany, than actually uniting Germany. I'm sure if he wanted too, he could have split the Kaisertum Osterreich and absorbed Austria into GrossDeutschland, though that might be more of a fantasy scenario than anything...

Bismark is the magnificent bastard. He's a magnificent manipulator, and a right bastard. He was removed mainly because he wanted to crush the socialists in Germany, not out of any idiocy of the Kaiser's, and his whole foreign policy was 'Punch anyone out who threatens us.' He unified Germany in...

On Italy: France could most likely sustained the wars. There were generals besides Napoleon after all, and France still has plenty of manpower and revolutionary manpower to spare. If Desaix survives Marengo, he could lead a renewed offensive. Massena and Kellerman could also lead a victory here...
