A bit earlier than that if my memory serves me right. 1914 was just the first widely recorded saying by a certain Slovenian polititan(name escapes me ATM ). I wouldn't say tyrannical but was rather opressive even before 1929. The state started in bloodshed afterall. To be honest I have to...

Since I live in this unfortunate strip of our planet I find the prospect of no Jugoslavia post WWI a very disasterous event. The teritories offered by Entante to K. of Serbia and K. of Italy were in some places in opposition which could easly lead to confict. At the same time Hungary though...

I wasn't talking about people of that time to actually be aware of it but more of a fact that should they build damns, these will become very stressed over a few years due to the continental drift. The same is if you just reduce everything to sea level with no damns. The speed of the current...

Not a good idea because of the plate tectonics. You would have one end of the canal on the African plate and the other on the Arabian plate. Any dams would be really stressed after a few years and just basically flooding the area could result in a climatic disaster due to the way water...

Ok this will be a rudimentary timeline. I am not really used to this kind of stuff since I mosty frequent this forum to see what people come up with and see alternative viewpoints from those I usually encounter in books(I did try to make a timeline for a tabletop wargaming campaign but that...

I wouldn't say Khaganate would be become more powerfull if we look it individually but when we look at it on the european scale their power without more powerful negibours would have greater influence. The "Avars" were oportunists just like any other nomad group and if a chance presents itself...

I will try to adress each of these in time. First thing is Carinthia(Carantania). The borders shown on your maps are the borders of Markgraviate of Carinthia created by Ludovic the Pious following the Slav rebellion in Carantania and Pannonia in 819-822. The territory of the Carantanian slavs...

About the Avars and the Slavs along the Adriatic coast. First thing to understand is that Avars were a heterogeneous group. A slav, bulgar, german serving the Khagan would be considered an Avar. The peak of the 1st Khaganate was during the 626 siege of Constantinopol. Folloing that was a...

As I am slowly working on the time line (I think I might be going to much into details) I made three that follow the story. The story is somewhat different that presented in the first post but similar. The starting map showing OTL Carpathian basin in 1077 The situation following a 5 years...

I don't think it was because of KLA revanchism but because of this -

Germans ran kingdom of Yugoslavia down because it was at that point a state that was not functioning properly. When Germans invaded, most of the units on the western front, made predominantly by Croats and Slovenians chose not to fight and saw Germans as liberators. The units made predominantly...

You are greatly mistaken if Serbs would engage NATO armour with their own. NATO armour would be hit my hand held rocket launchers in mountain/forest terrain with extremely poor visibility.

In a way that is correct. I went to check and only current Croatian Ban Franjo Bathyany was present with his personal troops and two bihops with their retinues. The problem with Croatian nobility at that time is, it was only barely rebuild from the Krbava disaster 27 years back when nearly 90%...

As far as Croatian official historiografy teaches us. Croatian forces were gathering as many men as they could and were two days from Mohacs when Louis ordered that battle is to be entered.

The part of the Mohacs disaster was in the fact Louis didn't want to wait for forces from Croatia. It is estimated between 40 and 60 thousand men.

You would get a war with Croatia, which would still decide to call Ferdinand to be their king rather than an ally of the Ottomans with whom they have been at war for almost a century.

Forget the outside powers, almost all of Slav population in this greater Germany would be up in arms since most of them were exeriencing "national revivals" and such a move would be seen as a way of Germans trying to dominate them even more. Even though beaten in 1848 Hungary probably would not...

Don't forget this is the "Dinaric country", even 80+ years old ladies would be sharpshooting at the opposition. Or giving invading forces shelter over the night only to try and roll a handgranade into the room or poisoning their food or water. Just plain straping an explosive inside sheep fur...

Yes that is Glagolic.

Testing my map making skills. I found out I had Gimp on my PC, my pc-fu is weak so learning photoshoping goes slowly. This is something I created today. It depicts the kingdom of Sclavonya following the wars of late 11th and early 12th centuries, lets say 1160. Croatian kings have lost much...
