Mafia was already in development at the time, being inspired by Driver, so that might become popular instead leading to open world crime games becoming more linear and story-driven.

Seconded, Operation Unicorn is a fantastic timeline for anyone interested in WW1 or Ireland. The spacing on the older chapters on tapatalk seem to be a bit broken unfortunately. If the Anglo-Irish Treaty is similar to OTL, the anti-treatyites would attempt to get support from Germany...

If the Germans aid the Irish during the War of Independence, it'll definitely help preserve their image in Ireland and lessen the impact of the "sell-out". An Ireland in the German sphere would be in German interests if they intend to challenge the British in the future as Ireland is...

OTL several leaders of the Easter Rising (Pádraig Pearse, Joseph Plunkett and Thomas MacDonagh) did actually consider an Irish monarchy under Prince Joachim of Prussia (the youngest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II). It was suggested that an German prince becoming king of Ireland would help establish...

It's unlikely either would happen if Germany had won, especially the British Revolution which was primarily caused by the economic collapse of the British economy due to the trade war with Germany and the cost of garrisoning troops in Ireland and India to fight German-backed rebellions.

Glad to see this is back.

If he became as much of an Irish nationalist as he was a German nationalist OTL then he'd most likely be anti-treaty and regard the pro-treatyites as traitors who stabbed the IRA in the back. The Anglo-Irish Treaty was only ratified by a vote of 64 to 57, if Hitler was an anti-treaty TD during...

What would the fate of communism and fascism as ideologies be in a timeline where the Whites were victorious in the Russian Civil War? Presumably communism would survive as an ideology but could it take power in any nations without being crushed by outside forces? Russia was far stronger and...

I find a successful Easter Rising to be a very interesting scenario but it's hard to see it happening. I think you would need a stronger German navy that could bring more support or even bring troops to the Irish similar to the Operation Unicorn TL. Maybe if the rebels turn to guerrilla warfare...

It was normal for newly independent countries at this time to adopt foreign princes. Greece, Belgium, Romania, Bulgaria and Norway all did so. Easter Rising leaders Patrick Pearse, Joseph Plunkett and Thomas MacDonagh were all in favour of an Irish monarchy under a German prince such as Prince...

With Roger Casement securing German support if the rebellion suceeds (which it presumably might judging from the wikiboxes about the US Embassy hostage crisis) might we see a German prince such as Prince Joachim of Prussia on the Irish throne? Europe is still primarily monarchical in this...

Ireland wouldn't have become an integral part of the Iberian Empire and would be either completely conquered by England or more likely rebel at some point with the help of Catholic Europe. Without the devastation caused by the Spanish occupation and later the English Wars of Religion following...

(OOC: Is this basically a DBWI TL? Very creative.) Presumably the Easter Rising still happened but might Ireland remain British or become a dominion of the empire? I can't see Ireland getting independence without the British introducing conscription and German support. I'm surprised Germany...

The strategic use of controlling Ireland was known at this time and the French raised the idea of establishing an independent Kingdom of Ireland should they succeed in invading Britain during the Seven Years War (to the fury of Charles Edward Stuart) so it is a possibility. The Stuarts were...

Hugo Eugenio O'Neill would be a logical choice for King of Ireland if the Spanish are willing to support it, he was the grandson of Hugh O'Neill and recognised as the Count of Tyrone by Philip IV of Spain. Owen Roe O'Neill could be another good choice, being the best of the Irish Confederate...

In addition to the Bruce invasion, at one point during the Irish Confederate Wars the Scots tried to conquer Ulster but were decisively defeated at the Battle of Benburb by Owen Roe O'Neill. English policies of divide and conquer were a house of cards that eventually failed resulting in the...

The Easter Rising succeeded in TL-191, right? Ireland Communism: James Larkin Syndicalism: James Connolly Socialism: Michael Mallin Social Democracy: William Norton Liberalism: Sean Lemass Centrism: Patrick Pearse* Conservatism: James Dillon Paternalism: Michael Collins Despotism: Dan Breen...

Speaking of France's unusual government, I remember reading once that during WW2 Patrick Pearse, the leader of the Irish monarchist government-in-exile (there having been a huge rivalry between monarchists and republicans in Ireland after Napoleon III pressured the Irish republic to crown...

Ireland was a net exporter of food and the head of food relief Charles Trevelyan was openly contemptuous of the Irish, the Irish revolution was necessary. The puppet government in Ireland (of which around 70% of the cabinet were Protestant Ulster-Scots) set up by the Triple Alliance of Britain...
