If she makes it for another 3 and a half years she will be the longest reigning monarch in history. At least among sovereign states where the rates of reign can be easily verified.
Oil, nickel, copper, tungsten, rubber, chromium.
Lack of manpower, tiny farms, bad management, trying to fight a war when badly out-numbered and out-produced etc. - yes, that cost them the war, too, but those are not 'materials' IMO.
Okay, that was an amazing read in all the worst possible ways. I’m really curious to know what else was in that original version.
I don’t know whether to think this is was the unhinged ramblings of a total lunatic who broke out of a padded cell thinking that this was actually a future that was...
Admittedly it was not about mining the iron ore and as such might not be what the OP is looking for but let's not forget that the predecessor of the EU was originally founded as the European Coal and Steel Community.
Something that wouldn't leave my head: Colonel Volgin from MGS3 in the Russian Anarchy, most likely Tyumen.
No doubt he'd usurp power from Kaganovich and purge both Lazar's clique and Khrushchev's at the regional stage, before inheriting the Stalinist cult of personality Lazar established...

On (2) , I'd add that mechanising German agriculture with decision making from 1933 onwards runs into at least two problems.
The first is that investment is needed to set up the factory to produce the steam tractors or whatever and then materials and labour allocated...
No way. She was already destined to Suffolk, the King would give her to his brother not to young Beaufort and her own relatives would NOT marry her in the Tudor OR Beaufort families
Much of the Russian speaking population was expelled from Poland, the Baltics and Finland in the aftermath of the First War. So these are not a big issue, and the 'population exchanges' were useful for the new governments. They established their capabilities - you can't not have effective organs...
I wonder if Prince Phillips death will lead to the Queen stepping aside and giving us at the answer to Charles regal name here sooner than anticipated?
If he ascended the throne he would probably be King George VII . George is one of his names and Richard does have a bad press.
On a side note I think that Charles will become George VII rather than Charles III to mark a break between being Prince of Wales and being King.
Probably a third party not affiliated, there is no treaty between them (Italy and Germany/Russia) and no obbligation of mutual support either military or diplomatic and between Italy and France is very probable that while technically at war there will be an unspoken 'if you don't bother me i...
The idea with Eleanor Beaufort was because I have seen some suggest Henry VI wanted to make Edmund Tudor his heir by marrying him to Margaret, so here he could still do that but with Eleanor. Though Baroness Scales does work better both dowry wise and age wise.
The long serving President of the Confederate States Joshua Davis the Third and Vice President Alvin Long, who served for the first three terms of the former generals time in office, which saw him leading the Confederate States for a better part of forty years, beating out Strom Thurmond for...
