C'è solo il nordovest, qui, oltre la linea Adda-Taro-Magra. Il resto non è incluso.

It had NEVER been the independent vietnamese state, it had ALWAYS been the stooge of the western powers.

Awaiting Mario Rossi's (of P&S: Noi Non Ci Saremo fame ;) ) more authoritative opinion upon the matter, in this map 28 nuke devices of various yield (four main yields: about 25 kt, about 600 kt, about 2.5 and about 10 MT) are virtually detonated all over NW Italy - the area here considered is...

Tojo at his trial said: never. They never had the logistical capabilities, the manpower or the intention, to invade.

Sweden was a thorny issue, in the end I think it would be hit by no more than a dozen devices, likely on c-c-c military centers and airfields, plus Stockholm, depending on Soviet operation plans (for conventional warfare). Wouldn't be too surprised by an maerican strategic warhead area denial...

*Shivers* As a private message, I had made a list and brief description (in Italian) of almost 50 NUDETs and aftereffects in NW Italy (from the Adda and Taro rivers west) for Mario Rossi's "Noi non ci saremo" project; it was, I find, consistent with this scale of massacre. Mario rejected about...

As for the language, they would most likely shift not beyond a couple centuries to a Romance language, probably a Northern dialect of the Lombard or Venetic type rather than Tuscan. They would find themeselves among a Romance-speaking majority, and would also Christianize pretty quickly - unless...

899. Battle of the Brenta river.

Shoot first, ask questions later? Normal US army and police policy, excellent for cutting own losses and increasing collateral damage. Ask Nicola Calipari for an informed opinion.

That's a convincing comparison. I'd almost forgot it. Call it the power of decades of double standard brainwashing upon the empire's subjects.

Molto interessante, e in un italiano di rara chiarezza e leggibilità.

Extremely unlikley to utterly impossibile. Americans wouldn't shoot to kill in the same situation, they had better equipment, doctrine and assessment capabilities. (plus, they weren't pissed over continuous hit-and-run poking at their airspace by adversary aircraft).

For information of non-Italian readers, I here publish the links to three versions of the song from which the title of this spinoff was taken. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwGDJa1dP50&feature=related the original (1967) by Emilian songwriter Francesco Guccini (a great, alive and kicking to...

De Gasperi murdered? No. He died of cancer AFAIK.

1952 Alcide De Gasperi - Christian Democracy (died prematurely in 1954)

1. Russian SFSR 2. Ukrainian SSR 3. Belarusian SSR 4. Finnish SSR (all of Finland, plus all of Karelia up to the White Sea) 5. Estonian SSR 6. Latvian SSR 7. Lithuanian SSR (swallowed northeastern Prussia with former Koenigsberg, rebaptised with Old Prussian Baltic name) 8. Moldavian...

The Avvocato flies away... (out of sheer curiosity: where the heck are Juventus' players now? The team was evacuated with families somewhere, say at Villar Perosa?) As for Pertini, well, for rigid he was I think even he would have asked questions later, in such a moment.

The end result would very likely be the same...

No way. Too many dead, Stalin's USSR was substantially on its knees and incapable of planning any further long campaign with doubtful prospects of victory. Manchuria was willingly postponed when Japan's defeat was imminent, and came out as quite "easy" - at least in comparison with the conquets...

There's then a most unknown issue: how each single warhead, and the missile guidance systems, react to the multiple explosions with their EMPs during their reentry phase? I imagine their electronics was (is) hardened to the best, but still, the very effects of so many bombs of various power...
