    1940 Campaign with a Cooperative Belgian Government?

    Oh I know why they tried their best to be neutral, it just looks really naive in hindsight. I've read that the King of Belgium spearheaded the neutral phase of Belgian diplomacy, so perhaps he could be convinced to be more reasonable.

  5. 1940 Campaign with a Cooperative Belgian Government?

    ... and shelve their ambitions in the East as well ?? (it's one thing to claim 'this is not a two front war' when one enemey is the other side of the Channel ... rather another to say the same when the enemey (France) in on your border ...)

    1940 Campaign with a Cooperative Belgian Government?

    How much of an army did Belgium have? I know they put a lot of faith in fortified defenses, but my knowledge of the Belgian army is pretty limited.
  7. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    He ignored it precisely BECAUSE everyone thought the Germans would wait until Britain was out of the war to attack the USSR. They were completely certain that the Germans would only attack them after peace had been made with Britain. OTL, this was really bad because Hitler attacked before a...

  9. List of monarchs III

    A freak couch accident 🤔 Also why would the death of Konrad throw the succession into question when, at that point, Adam and Friedrich were both alive?
  10. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    Actually the primary (aka: Designated Survivor is Octopussy* played, by Maud Adams). You can always tell the Primary since whi is the traditional epilogue hook-up. *How Ian Fleming got away with the names of some of his female characters while publishing in 1950s-60s England is beyond my...

(one might even suggest that letting the Nazi streamroller pass through their territory as quickly as possible...

    You really think that the Germans would shelve any attempt to invade the West?

  16. Chinese pulls a Russia, conquerors the eurasian steppe

    Yeah, the Tang conquered quite a lot of it. Just have them with at Talas, then avoid the An Lushan rebellion, and then have them really, really lucky and avoid getting overthrown for long enough that central asia can become sufficiently integrated that it'll still form part of China after the...

  19. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Alexniko are you serious? Actually I could write a long and detailed refuse of all your accounts but I am sure it will not change your mind so why bother. For everybody just looking at the deatails. Germany had to spend 2 trillion Marks on the GDR infrastructure and economical damage after...
