This movie is really good. As a non korean looking at this objectively i thought korea made out better in the alternate timeline. They didn't really seem to be oppressed by the japanese. They are independent iotl but the country is divided with one side living under extreme oppression and i'd...

So you suggest reading books that are anti franco since i am not anti franco? The only reason the reds didn't kill more in the post war is because they spent the majority of the war losing ground. Had they won the war i'm sure their victims would have numbered at least half a million. Leftist...

Where has anarchy worked? What was so bad about Franco rule? all the republicans were worried about doing was emptying prisons, legalizing abortion, shooting priests, raping nuns, outlawing marriage, and enabling secession. They didn't have any clear plans on how to form or keep a functioning...

May i ask why?

There are still plenty of americans who still think of england as their ancestors. Most actual anglo americans don't call themselves english but rather throw hissy fits when other americans refer to themselves as an ethnicity. As for me I am a non white american and I do not feel any major...

I think the easiest way would be to switch France and Germany's positions in ww1 and ww2. France as an enemy would be built up by the veterans who fought them to make themselves look better. Apart from that we might just need another century or so with england and france being mostly allied for...

What are you referencing to point out the Spanish in particular? Please don't be dragging out that old black legend the english have been throwing out for centuries. It has been hilariously exploited. I would invite you to look at latin america and see the huge numbers of indians and mestizos...

I think they could have not forced reparations (it was the prussians who asked for it when they did it in the last war mind you). But instead i'd say a full dismemberment of germany the same as the Ottoman empire and austro hungarian empires came apart. Germany could lose lands on most frontiers...

Your challenge is to have the USA, after the revolution decide to have a King. Then have them choose one of the royal families who lost their thrones in Europe. They could just be a figure head or have all the powers of a tsar. Please don't fill up the thread with reasons why it couldn't...

I have noticed that alot of brits and americans think the Americans lost or barely won the war of 1812. The worst we did in that war was draw. We got everything we wanted, destroyed a british ally, won more of the naval fights, and humiliated them at New Orleans. Not to mention that their army...

Cubans beat the south africans i'm sure they would have had even less trouble with the inferior brits. I think after the Cuban forces on Las Malvinas annihilate the british invasion force and board/capture the ships the people of england rise up in a bloody revolution against the milk snatcher...

You seem to be a little confused. Our first ally was France, our best ally is Canada or Israel. Truthfully, the brits have been our first and longest enemy. We didn't really stop preparing for and expecting war with them until ww2. Also i don't think too much trouble would come out of Reagan...

Sounds like an english cop out for continuous failure. Chelsea won the big one but you all hate chelsea for playing a style that wins and not the english "running for running's sake" style

Yes, I agree with this totally. by and large spanish teams seem to be a step above other teams on average. sure there are some teams which can beat spanish teams from time to time but they have won the champions league and europa more than others recently. I think if you take Sevilla, Bilbao...

I'm an American who's favorite sport is Rugby Union but i also love Football. There are some key differences in the sport that i feel many foreigners don't get. Football has a higher level of hard contact than Rugby. Rugby tackles are more grueling and straight hits are illegal as well as...

The rest of the world is welcome to form teams capable of competing for the World Series. So far only canada has stepped up. balls in your glove rest of the world

A few things. The US of manifest destiny isn't as far removed as you suggest. the Indian wars went past 1870 with flare ups into the 1920's. The philippines, puerto rico, guam... were all annexed at the turn of the century. The desire for more land was still there and the Americans of this time...

I suspect other parts of Africa might rise up too. Austrlalia and new zealand aren't likely to rebel but in this new global war they just might be less willing to send men off on foreign adventures. i don't think the USN will be swept away as easily as has been suggested.Keep in mind this is all...

I think this would work. iotl the Irish rebelled in 16 with no reasonable expectation of german support. now consider the US which has long been a destination for irish refugees who had just ran the brits out of canada and is coming to bring the fight to the english at home. many of the...

Might this staging point be sort of an island bridge or one of the following Greenland, Iceland, Rebellious Ireland?
