Really no more answers? Assuming there was stronger anti-british sentiment for whatever reason, was such rebellion militarily feasible during WW2?

Was there a possibility for large scale anti-British revolt in India during World War 2? Could such revolt succeed in pushing British out of India, or seriously influence the course of the war? Perhaps if Subhas Chandra Bose remains leader of INC, or Quit India movement takes more forceful...

Stanisław Leszczyński came from magnate family. Among his ancestors and relatives were several Poland's ministers, voivodes, hetmans and bishops. Hardly a mere noble. If you want to compare him to US President, then it would be Kennedy or Bush.

Berlin in German WW2 victory timeline was the firt idea that came to me when making this thread. But perhaps it would be enough (and less ASB) for Berliny to have Germany just avoid WW2 entirely and particularly further partition of the city. Berlin was trailing Paris with over 4 million...

We define megacity as agglomeration with more than 10 million inhabitants. Currently, there are four such agglomerations in Europe: London, Paris, Moscow and Istanbul. What POD would be needed to create another ones by now? I am not sure how far in past we'd need to go back, that's why I'm...

I thought the idea for Imperial Federation was always to include UK and white, british-origin dominions only. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.India and other colonies were never meant to be a part of it.

I think that Commonwealth that somehow avoids the worst crises of 17th. century and manages to reform itself, may end with all it had then + part of Pomerania, East Prussia, whole Livonia after successful another northern war against Sweden, and perhaps Crimea by sometime in 1700.

Few years ago, an article appeared on polis internet suggesting that Poland has been working on thermonuclear weapons in the 70s, but the works were stopped when the project's head scientist was killed in car crash (supposedly orchestrated by KGB which didn't want Poland to get too independent...

I think its more interesting how destruction of Paris would affect post-war French-German relations. Would we see reapproachement like in OTL, or would the attitude of French towards Germans be the same, or evem harsher than in 1918?

How about interwar Poland actually convincing France or Britain to share with them some spoils taken from Germany?

Or war of Sweden and Poland against Russia. I think the fate of Poland will be main change in case of Swedish victory. Victorious Sweden can place their man, Stanisław Leszczyński on polish throne. Later, I see three possible scenarios: 1. Leszczyński maintains golden liberty in Poland, and...

No chance bar ASB. Democratic countries won't go to war with each other, unless pushed by forces much greater than them (case of Finland in WW2).

In this Russia, actual Russians would be a minority. also the map is too much cold-war influenced. I do not see why Russia would rather expand into Germany - a wholly different culture, than a very similar Orthodox Greece.

I think I saw a timeline where Franks landed in Britain while Gaul was eventually conquered by Slavs. Thus leading to France being located on British Isles and Poland in OTL France.

He should have offered it to Poland instead. we're always eager for such things.

You need a big city close to mountains in temperate climate. Preferably in fairly large country. Vancouver Seattle Montreal Denver Salt Lake City Barcelona Lyon Munich Oslo Vienna Geneva Bern Zurich Vienna Prague Krakow Bucharest probably several cities in South Korea or Japan

All you keep to far west. If going by central location, then the centre of gravity of European continent is actually near Vilnius. The centre of population would be probably in Czech Republic or maybe southern Poland. Depends if you include all of Russia or only European part. For EU it is...

Germany of OTL lost those areas, but not their population which was transferred to remaining German territories (granted, with some casualties on the way). However assuming no war losses and possible peaceful Anschluss, Weimar Republic 2013 could have up to 100 - 110 million citizens. On the...

Why would they have so great advantage? In those times, France was close to Russia in population and larger than Austria. So population ratio was probably at most 2:1 plus the French were fighting on their turf now. Also, AFAIK, Waterloo would be first such significant land defeat for the...
