You're mixing things up. Poles still didn't want Soviet forces in Poland, it's just they weren't sure at the moment of their intentions. Besides Rydz-Smigły order said also, that Polish forces should fight if Soviets attacked them or tried to disarm them...

IIRC, there were more wars between Bulgaria and Serbia - before Ottoman conquest as well as after becoming independent - than between Bulgaria and Romania (including Bulgarian-Vallachian conflicts). So it's debatable if Bulgarian-Serbian union could work - too much bad blood.

I am not sure what you are trying to say... Yes, Romanians are romanised Dacians, using Romance language, therefore Indoeuropean. Yes, (modern) Bulgarians are Slavs with some Turkic and Thracian blood mixed up, therefore Indoeuropean as well. (Btw Slavs don't have Turkic roots). Hungarians...

Romanians are more closely related to Bulgarians, being both Indoeuropean, than to Ugrofinnic Hungarians.

Actually, as per Washington Naval Treaty, Italy was allowed to lay down one 35.000 t battleship no earlier than 1927, and a second one no earlier than 1929. 1s London Naval Treaty confirms that Italy could build 2 35.000t battleships.

Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Trucial States (today UAE) and Oman were British colonies or protectorates until 1960s-1970s

Eh? Come again? Austria-Hungary and Russia had directly conflicting interests in Balkans...

I don't think so - it wouldn't grow faster than OTL (1910 - 206.000, 1921 - 219.388, 1931 - 312.231, 1959 - 410.678, 2017 - 727.968). East bound railways would see less usage than OTL (border, no strong trade links), south bound more, but there wasn't much Lwow and environs could offer Kingdom...

Not possible: Polish right-wing - National Democrats - were anti-German. It was a core of their ideology (to some extent it still is)

? Why would Poles be baffled like Americans? On OP: While Polish government was sympathetic to Nationalists, it was no reason to not sell arms to Republicans. Though IIRC it was tried to sell PZL-11 to Nationalists thru dummy order by Nicaragua, but it didn't work out. Also I think Nationalists...

Romania at this moment ITTL borders only Soviet-occupied part of Poland. Also between Slovakia and Romania lies Hungarian territory. So Romania is a non-factor when considering additional fronts against Germany.

Even though most European countries have NO colonies? And therefore in such countries like Sweden, Poland or Bulgaria, developments in labor relations will be pretty much independent of what's happening in colonies? Also, without Nazi takeover, communist Third Period doctrine, which drove...

Maybe there would be two Chinas in the UN ITTL? With US pushing more for remaining Republic of China in UN?

It would make Soviets look bad. Besides, if the Soviet sector reached Tokyo Bay, supply would be mostly by ship. Much easier than by plane.

Okay, not in particular order: 1. Strategy - while not putting armies close to borders and concentrating them on shorter line deep within Poland makes military sense, it's bad idea politically. After all, if Polish army moves out of western part on makes a defensive line Narew-Wisła (down to...

Considering that it was in British hands and it was both farther and had much worse (read: non-existient) connection to SAR than Cape Town, then definitely no.

Russian victory would change the internal situation so much I wouldn't be expecting an uprising in early 1860s - OTL it was post-Sevastopol Thaw that to a large extent allowed organisation of would-be-partisans.

If Ottomans didn't conquer Byzantine Empire, WW1 doesn't happen in shape similiar to OTL. After all, WW1 immediate reason for starting was antagonism between Serbia and Austria-Hungary. ITTL A-H won't exist - Hungarians joined Habsburg domain because of Ottoman threat - which ITTL doesn't...

Ok, lets start with airplanes: 1. Hispano-Suiza engines. Poland actually wanted to use them (that's why PZL-1 was powered by one) but IIRC Hispano-Suiza wanted too much money for licence, so Polish airplanes ended up with licence produced (since 1931? I think) Bristol engines. That said there...

Polish government won't be asking for that line - OTL it was interested only in East Prussia, Middle Pomerania and rest of Upper Silesia - so Szczecin (Stettin) and Wrocław (Breslau) will remain German. In Pomerania Polish westernmost port city will be Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) and in Silesia - Brzeg...
