Lasting until 1948 is impossible. Surrender was a question of time.

If you want to go to war you can jump on any casus belli I suppose. But you´d have to be insane if in 1770 you decide Falklands are worth fighting a war over.

An union of Scotland and Ireland might be able to resist english domination. Although how you pull it of is a mystery to me.

It´s an interesting scenario. The Nazis won´t turn to pacifism. I guess Hitler will be removed, but there will be lot of shuffling and internal turmoil, giving the British and French ample time if they would use it. (But will they?) Of course this is before "peace in our time."

If there is no napoleonic war US will not fare well. (Well it didn´t fare well OTL but it will be worse). But I guess the US wouldn´t invade Canada unless they thought the Brits were too distracted. I mean, they are not suicidal are they? Losing it bigger will have psychological impact on the...

This might as well be in the chat. I assume this scenario has him with OTL senate and congress? I bet he´d get blamed for it by the media and by both parties.

You think the Germans would invade? Doesn´t seem like a good idea. If the republic had won the falangists that means they know how to conduct warfare. I´d expect the pyrenees to be bloody. If Spain is on the allies side in WW2 the mediterranean would be even more in the allies hand.

It works well into the conspiracy idea. They shot him because he was such a perfect liberal.

Wouldn`t some of them be able to form city states. I think an invasion in the alps doesn`t really pay off for anyone. some might become part of Germany if it forms TTL. I`m inclined to think that due to geographic factors there`d be small independent states, not much more important than OTL san...

An interesting scenario in my opinion would be: Jackie dies and JFK survives (but wounded). He also has underlying health problems so the recovery might take a long while. He won`t be able to run, and maybe doesn`t even want too. So LBJ becomes president and runs for office winning it in a...

Whut? I´d say Cuba would be a more realistic goal but even that...

I`ll have to disagree with a lot of people here. I think it`s nigh impossible to get US or Britain to go red. Scandinavia can only go communist if invaded, otherwise, like US and Britain way too stable. (Anyway, to clear up what people are asking, it is communism in a very wide sense, doesn`t...

huh? huh?

I was not so much forgetting as much as wondering how. You mean if USSR occupied it after WW2?

Could be an interesting TL, I wonder how the Japanese would interpret it. Well, actually the Germans too might be prone to believe that some deity was on their side as well.

In theory yes, Japan could end up communist if the soviet union invaded instead of US although it would be a little difficult to pull off. Italy has been mentioned, the one thing about the European countries that irks me though is the way the other countries might react. I would imagine that if...

Hmmm... I think Allende probably wasn´t heading for a complete communist state, well he was nationalising but I don´t think he was un-democratic. Probably more so than Chavez f.x. But I can imagine Chile going communist in the 20th century in some scenarios, maybe if the coup is somehow botched...

Alright, we´re gonna make a list (this is take 2, don´t mention any nazistuff;)) Add countries and make a point for it: 1. Iran. Communist/marxist movement had popularity in the 50s, although I think a likelier outcome without US/UK interference is a stable republic. 2. Finland. Losing the...

Some of it yeah. I don´t think Sweden would be particularily interested in the Faeroes and Iceland but... it might be like how Canada became British. The Danish would rather keep their other possessions and be quick to offer Iceland which the Swedes would say: Meh, but alright if you insist...

I´d say Netherlands fighting a war against Britain would be absolute madness even if they had strong enough allies to win.
