BS. Korea had only 27 million people at the time. Jeez, what's with these idiotic numbers going on?

Which pretty much shows how you need to live in the era to know what the people would do. Yes, most of the Japanese WOULD have fought to the death, as long as Showa supported the war. That was the key here: for all that Bushido BS, it was the Tenno that kept Japan going on. If he wanted to...

Well, if we consider.... 1. Russia fought a civil war for about 20 years. Remember how Stalin was finally crushed in the 1920's? how do you expect to have a Russia that defaulted on its loan actually do something except throw human waves? 2. Britian lost a bit of its empire, and DOESN'T have...

Japan already had one of the world's best factories in Korea during WW2. Sadly, I don't see how that would have help Japan. Only getting a reliable source could hae saved it from the resource crunch.

[quot]What would have happened if the decisive and hawkish Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto had led the attack on Pearl Harbor instead of his more cautious subordinate, Admiral Nagumo. , Yamamoto would have ordered another series of strikes, strikes that would effectively alter the entire course of the...

Unless there's a seperate peace between the Western Allies and Germany, or the Germans managed to halt the Soviets, it'll be nearly impossible.

The Brits wouldn't have had the same diplomatic victory by standing up for Greece, thereby delaying the help from the US.

Oh yeah, I forgot the reason the Trail of Tears started... >_>

The Turkish Trail of Tears. On a more serious note, I think relocation is the best word, although we do need to find a word that describes the brutal conditions.

That's still too strong a word.

No. WIlson was a hyprocrat: the "self determination" was for the European people only, not the "uncivilized" people in the colonies.

I don't consider that as a "genocide." Mass murder maybe, but Genocide? That's Trail of Tears, the Turkish version.

That's right. And if the US had seen him for what he was (a nationalist rather than a pure commie), they could have had far less trouble.

In an AH sense, this is trash.

I don't think that as long as there was a PRC, the Soviet Union would have encouraged the formation of other communist states. However, should Chiang had been smarter and managed to prolong the civil war, then USSR might have tried to go for more communist states, although that would be...

Logical. I give thee a thumbs up.

Yes, but at least you can say it's in the middle of nowhere. However, Sicily is EUROPEAN, and I'm not sure if the US people would accept that.

The US would have to be more active in the Med. Also, I don't think the people of the US would have accepted a non-American (contient-wise) island as a state.

I don't agree with you on the definition of "best" scenario.

No, that wouldn't have happened. Prior to the end of World War II, the Korean Liberation Army was preparing an assault against the Japanese in Korea in conjunction with American OSS, meaning that the Russians would have a tough time trying to get the entire Peninsula (after all, even USSR...
