In addition to the above I think making the Nazis more globally hated by making them more visibly international would be an easy thing to do. Having them more explicitly pro-Japan and thus pro east-asian warcrimes, visible ceremonial support in China (as opposed to an alliance of...

First time ever playing as National France. Intervened in the Spanish Civil War, conquered all of Iberia, and then released Caralist Spain as a puppet. When WWII came about I rushed in as far north and as far fast as I could go, and this was the result. Afterwards I had to fight the...

New Mexico.

Thanks, glad to get a follower and criticism. Russia's acquiescence to this will be explained in the future via the context of the Holy Alliance. which I wanted to put in the first update but given how it becomes a recurring theme for a while I opted to give it its own. I did already...

Reposting due to end of the page syndrome. Looking for criticism specifically directed at the plausibility end of the timeline.

Thank you very much. Well Denmark, through its controversies involving Schleswig-Holstein, did play a fairly important role in German unification OTL and that issue isn't just going to disappear. Well I hope the latest chapter is acceptable and I hope you all enjoyed the 2nd French...

Chapter Two: France 1815-1829 Louis XVIII was an absolute ruler in the truest form and admired the old days of total absolutism. When told of Napoleon’s defeat by an aide who exclaimed “Sire, you are now King of France”, Louis responded dryly “Had I ever ceased to be?” Despite this admiration...

Europe after the Congress of Vienna with the main POD being Metternich's sudden death resulting in his successor and confidant in foreign affairs who worked with him during Napoleon's reign across Europe, Count von Warthausen, assuming control of the Austrian negotiations. The result is that the...

Well so begins my first ever timeline (it only took 6 years). Lets see how this goes, I already have a pretty clear idea on where I want this timeline to go but I'm very interested to get opinions and predictions for the future. Criticism, Comments, etc... are all welcome.

April Showers bring May Flowers for June Days and the July Haze Chapter One : The Congress of Vienna “Whenever Paris sneezes, Europe catches a cold” The Congress of Vienna was supposed to assure the forces of reaction a permanent victory. It did not. Even as the Congress of Vienna redraw...

Rentierism and empowerment. The saudis control the oil money which means they don't need to lean on local elites for funding (or the people for that matter). They empower local elites to act how they wish (IE religious fundamentalism) in their locales, and indeed ask for almost nothing if not...

I know this isn't the purpose of the thread but I want to address this myth that keeps poping up. The new economic plan was NOT to be a long term plan by lenin. Lenin himself said "When the party is in retreat [referencing the NEP] it needs iron discipline [more centralization and...

There is a sentiment amongst many currents of Saudi Society that the monarchy has "sold out" to the west already. Despite the personal attitudes of many of the western-educated Saudi monarchs, they dare not reform how they wish for a sundry assortment of reasons for fear of aggravation. Then...

The easiest way I could see this happening is if you have the 3 branches of government each get their own executive (with the implication that the current executive / presidency also "gets" the army) as a way of further demarcating balances of power and checks and balances.

Bechuanaland / Botswana was thought of for a long time as possible German territory to extend German Southwest Africa, but that was scrapped. Perhaps an extended Caprivi Treaty would give more of Bechuanaland to German Southwest Africa (likely most of the Northwest) while the rich diamond...

Mixed levels of confusion amongst Yankee managers because it never actually happened and its an urban legend.

Lenin is often mischaracterized as a naive pragmatist when anybody talks about the NEP, but this is simply untrue. Lenin viewed the NEP as a defeat after the necessities of "War Communism" destroyed much of the Russian infrastructure and agricultural production. Lenin made a famous speech with a...

Perhaps the best route is to have Patagonia as a separate entity be a North Korean analogue. Patagonia was contested between Argentina and Chile for quite a while. If it remains more ambiguous with Chile perhaps getting more territory leading to animosity or even direct / proxy wars in...

North Korea winning the World Cup either through dumb luck or mass-murder would be interesting.

Just because you can save a regime doesn't mean you should. Gorbachev was a "true believer" in the ideals of socialism vs many of the more cynical power-based views of the Soviet Union entrenched in the politburo. This attempt to reform, to create a society that did more than pay lip service to...
