Seems the irredeemists were actually pretty cool with the Italians. Since Corsica is kinda unredeemed Italy if you're good at debating. I looked it up a week or two ago on a lark. Seems that the Italians reported no resistance before the fall of IItaly. Why attack the Italians? France is far...

I've read the exact opposite . That when Italy was still independent, that Corsica didn't opposed Italian occupation at all.

It didn't help that the turks did nothing in Iraq to develop it. Irrigation and canals could be repaired, they just didn't do it, it seems.

Or have his wife take over after he dies Truly frightening either way. China had to people and it had the will to make for an even greater tragedy

True it did and it was a spectacular failure. I meant size wise. If the klan could get enough of its guys and infiltrate the military , so everything together military as well as klan, they'd deploy a few thousand total. And as I said in an earlier post, without a massive crisis, it's just not...

They were pretty insane. Not quite KR level percentage wise, but they got close. Maybe a few leaders replaced here and there, and a KR China is possible imho

Given the general lack of security and all that, there's a chance they could take out or capture LBJ, but they couldn't wipe out or capture Congress at the same time. The coup would look the the Turkish coup attempt form a few years ago

Maybe less use of the magnetic mine until the fall of France ? Thus no counter messages to it. Then when the BoB starts, instead of going after London or maybe even the airfields , mine all around the UK ? I wonder what the consequences of that would be, if for three months the Germans have...

The post WWII klan wasn't strong enough. It had tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand at most. It coukd take over and run a state, and maybe infiltrate the military to some degree. But not enough to sieze control of the US without some crazy crisis. The 1920s klan if it didn't collapse...

That's interesting, but I disagree in general. Let me get my sources together and see what I can find.

I dunno Conrad was actually a fan of Islam. Felt Christianity was too soft. Some others felt that way as well. Seemed that Christianity wasn't gaining in popularity right before WWI

Will have to look around. My source is a person who was involved in command and general staff exercises in the 80s. Will Google later and see what I can find. Again, without widespread brutality Soviets aren't going to be motivated on the attack. Much like they weren't against Finland...

No, I am not sure why you're saying that. The Soviets on a purely offensive war, without suffering their own abuses wouldn't be as motivated as OTL. Nato had the same conclusion . Soviets would fight hard in a defensive war, but not as much in an offensive war. That is a clear and substantiated...

How well would the Soviets fight on a purely offensive war? Nato had serious doubts. Especially when it came to non ethnic Russians. Without crazy German abuses, there might not be much motivation to fight hard

Maybe. If the Chinese in the 30s were still broken up and there were more totally independent war lords, then there could be a chance if Japan did it exactly right. That or make a large sustainable puppet govt. Even with that, it's possible but not likely. They'd also have to basically...

Thibk it's off. But as for efficiency. green troops shoot up tree tops and all. It's easier to stay out of range if you're behind cover and shoot up, you're not exposed. My dad was a Lt in Vietnam, he said most of his platoon was really good at trimming trees and making sure the grass got...

Was only vaguely aware of this. This is a massive POD. I wanna see some threads on this, or even here see what happens if the French govt intervenes in the SCW to varying degrees

France needed French settlers,a nd really coulnd't get enough. While for Italy the colonies were smaller, and they wanted a valve for their excess population. France, I feel just was like old skool Rome. Don't rebel and pay your taxes, and outside of that didn't care. While Italy wanted to...

Germany was the LBO of war machines. Leverage buy outs. Basically mortgage the future for the win now. I have mixed feelings on if they could have beaten the USSRin 41. It was close, but the USSR was a tougher nut to crack. Perhaps more and better prep, plus taking time to retool industry so...

But NZ has tons of bunkers being built, so they are the true heirs of Albanian communism.
