Or just have Napoleon not repeal the abolition of slavery on the island which pushed the majority of the black rebels into Toussaint L'Ouverture's camp.

Hey Guys, Bit of a challenge for you all, how could we see the Sudetenland stay a part of Germany after the Second World War? I don't mean a Nazi victory or a stalemate etc. I mean a war in which Germany generally loses the same was as OTL (except with perhaps a few tweaks if necessary)...

Hey Guys, In the Treaty of Versaille Germany and Austria weren't allowed to unite into a Großdeutschland, obviously Hitler did unite Germany and Austria later in 1938 during the time of appeasement, however WI Weimar Germany was allowed to unite with Austria? I'm guessing a plebiscite would...

Nice, though I doubt he'd still be editor of the Private Eye. Some may claim he's using it as a propaganda tool.

I just copy-and-pasted the code of the Alsace-Lorraine, I just changed the names and provinces.

Changing province names Hey Guys, As Germany you're able to change the name of Alsace-Lorraine once you capture it from the French. I tried to tweak the PDM I have to allow me to rename Jylland, Bohemia etc. In the game, when these little tweaks appeared on the decisions list, they...

Can non-Cardinals be elevated to the Bishopric of Rome..? I've no idea how the Papal Election system works other than the Cardinals vote on a successor.

I wonder who would be made the new Pope... Anyhow, as has been said Al-Qaeda will be hunted down and no-one will object. I wonder how ordinary Catholics would react, I don't mean some kind of new Peasants Crusade but the tensions would be huge enough just there.

I read somewhere that, in Bohemia-Moravia, the Nazis were very tolerant of the Slav's throughout their time in control there. The plan was to wait for full Germanisation post-war, so I don't think it's as implausible as some people think it is.

Hey Guys, What If, in 1830, the Talleyrand Plan was successful? For the sake of argument let's just hand-wave the reasons against it away for this to work, though if you can think of a POD then bring it on. Anyway, how would this affect European politics? Britain suddenly has a vested...

Would Britain allow it? And what could happen in the war that would allow such a demand?

Hey Guys, Is there a way of getting Prussia the island of Bornholm and keeping it? If the Prussians had struck a more resounding victory against the Danes in the Second Schleswig War could we have seen Bismark demanding Bornholm? I doubt he'd take any of the Danish Empire as that would've...

While not culturally (or linguistically) identical an Anglo-Dutch Union has nearly happened quite a few times in history.

He did consider them German, just for pragmatic reasons he didn't annex them into the Reich straight away. If he had viewed the Dutch and Flemish as being separate from Germans then he probably would've ceded Flanders to the Dutch to get them more on side.

Hey Guys, When discussing an 'Italian Tunisia' on this site some people often say that, with their colonial appetites appeased by annexing Tunisia the Italians wouldn't feel the need to attack the Ottoman Empire for Libya, nor would they take the colonies of Eritrea and Somaliland in East...

A war was hardly inevitable, and even if one did occur it may not be anywhere near as huge as the Great War or Second World War. Look at the 'Great Game', Anglo-Russian relations at an all time low for decades with one trying to dominate Asia, were there any wars between them? Only one in the...

How big could East Germany be? How could it get to that size?

It depends on the way they're 'wanked', for example making the British Empire bigger isn't too difficult, but it will still be unsustainable. Now a Brit-wank where an Imperial Federation is formed is my favourite.
