Pretty cool. If the Ottoman Empire would indeed be out at 1916, what would the consequences for the Allies be? Would the Ottoman Empire exiting the war in 1916 prevent its destruction?

So I read Kitchener had planned an attack on Alexandretta, in Syria, near old Antioch, to split the Ottoman Empire in two and capture its central rail road hub. However, Churchill convinced him to go along with the Gallipoli plan. What if Kitchener stuck to his plan and the Allies did this...

Pretty cool PoD. But doesn't this mean France and Russia will just inevitable steamrolled when a war comes, if Britain doesn't help them? Also, will this war cause France to try and expand her navy for the future?

I think the Germans would invade Spain. I mean heck, why would Hitler tolerate a in his mind communist state on his flank? It would be a great vulnerability. The Republic would probably stay neutral, but they might aid the Allies. After that, it's liberated by the Western allies and moved to the...

I had a question on the Marne as well. At 9 September, the German 1st and 2nd Armies were in danger of being surrounded and destroyed. Moltke has a nervous breakdown but his subordinates ordered a retreat to the Aisne. What if the French and British had managed to destroy the German 1st and 2nd...

Yes, because a West Ukrainian Republic would surely just completely remove the Great Depression and completely alter what Hitler does. :rolleyes:

What it says on the title. Is this only possible if the Ukrainian People's Republic survives? If so, would the two integrate into one nation or stay seperate? Seeing as the Ukrainian People's Republic's focus was on the Russians, how could the West Ukrainians defeat the Poles? Would the Poles...

More specifically, the Scramble of Africa was driven forth by nationalism and I was wondering whether it could've also created nationalism and loyalty in places where it was somewhat weak. I was wondering whether an Austrian-Hungarian involvement could've lead to more Austrian-Hungarian...

Well, the Argeads were very popular with the army. If Heracles is the only male Argead left, I can't see army abandoning his claim. And if Heracles is indeed succesfully rejected, what would the opposing generals propose? One of them marry Cleopatra to produce an Argead king? That would...

Err.. what?

Russia goes all out on the Great Game, conquers Afghanistan. War breaks out between Russia and Britain and Russia invades India, eventually managing to force the British to concede that everything east of Panjab is in the Russian sphere. Later on, they push further south until Persia grants them...

The Agreement of the Diadochi Both sides were badly beaten up. Seleucus had lost most of his force, and Demetrius had lost a lot of his veteran cavalry and a lot of infantry, too. Demetrius was badly wounded though and rumoured to be on the verge of death, while the supplies brought from the...

Yeah, I'm back after a two week vacation. Updates will be more steadily now, though after the Seleucid-Antigonid conflict this TL will focus more on general events, reigns and administrations.

The Battle of Artacoana Seleucus had been calm. No point panicking, it would discourage the soldiers. He spent the night with his sons, discussing and thinking back of their struggles together and reviewing the battle plan for tomorrow, but he didn't neglect sleeping, no. When he was awoken, he...

Yes. It'll be a point of tension between Rome and Carthage in the future.

The Campaign in Media Upon hearing the news that Demetrius had invaded Media with 80,000 men, Seleucus quickly acted. Some men may have fallen into despair or depression, but Seleucus immediatly sent riders out and gathered his forces. It was the moment he had been waiting for, the moment he...

Yeah, but still, any chance of this happening IRL and if so, how?

So I read Voltaire's Candide recently, and in one of the chapters he travels to a militant Jesuit kingdom in Paraguay that's fighting a war with Spain, with its capital in Asunción.. Any way this is remotely possible to be made a reality?

Well I've heard interpretations of the story of Ruth and Naomi being similar to lesbianism, and there's always David and Jonathan, who had somewhat of a thing that could be considered a bromance in our day.

Well, the Swiss win the battle of Marignano and don't swear eternal neutrality, thus ensuring they'll be involved in future wars against France, considering there were a lot of those in the 17th and 18th centuries, that make will cause Switzerland to grow larger. Otherwise, they can just not...
