Yeah, but having the U-boats torpedo the US destroyers hunting them is not the same as an 'official' DoW (any more than American destroyers depth charging U-boats was a DoW) ... Absense of actual DoW, there won't be US troops in Europe (or N. Africa)
Of course of Hitler DOESN'T declare, then...
The easiest way is Denmark-Norway actually bothering to care. OTL in the late 15th century, Didrik Pining and Hans Pothorst explored that area of the North Sea and visited Greenland itself. Had the conflict in the Kalmar Union not arose, the admiral Soren Norby
They'd be liable to be killed by...
Can you see any settlement being acceptable in both Paris and Berlin? I'm struggling to see much overlap beyond maybe a retraction of the clause against union with Austria.
Then conquest of Mexico would be more difficutl, as it would look like area of future USA, divided between fragmented tribes without state structures, that could be used by conquerors.
How might France avoid the counter-productive fear of a right-wing coup coming from the military? That fear seems to have negatively impacted useful reorganizations at times for the military and the top officers.
Also, how might the reorganization of the aircraft (and other?) industries in the...
A more successful Italian performance in WWII is something I've done a timeline on before. Fundamentally Italy's performance in both world wars is often underappreciated but the first especially was a missed opportunity....
The issues stemmed ultimately from the political difficulties regarding...
Regency depends upon which of the survivors is closer by a succession line. AFAIK, all of them more or less fit in a category “nincompoop” with the variations along the lines “liberal nincompoop”, “life-enjoying nincompoop”, “nincompoop with the irrelevant expertise (for example “cattle...
I was thinking about edutainment and I think Galactic Golf will probable be big in science labs, maybe later an added section where players can set their own gravity. Maybe it's a mini golf thing so players can insert obstacles.
I wonder if Professor von Drake and Dr. Honeydew could partner up...
You'd usually be right, but actually that's a reference to an OTL historical event. Venezuelans in the XIX Century used "cosiata" as a term for a non-easily-definable political event. Definitely not La Cosita.
If Nixon is smart and wants to have even a remote chance of not having committed troops overseas blow up in his face then he’d have US troops stick only to secured areas and leave the combat areas to the ROC. Chiang would take what he could get (for now) even if it’s just US special forces and...
By 1903, ICE poised for takeover, with in the USA, Olds made 4000, Cadillac (original Henry Ford company, till.kicked out) 2497, and Henry's new FoMoCo, 1708 vehicles
The previous year, Locomobile made 2750 Steam cars, 1903 they were retooling for ICE as a replacement
There were around 100...
I agree that that's a serious problem- but battery swapping technologies have existed for a long time, even if rarely put into practice, and I think could have been invented extremely early if the EV market was big enough to justify the infrastructure required. (As an aside this is one of my...
That strikes me as rather hard when the two countries in question are Russia (in any of it's incarnations since the 1700s) and China. The two are simply too big, too powerful, and too close (in a number of different meanings of that term) to be out of each others sight and mind.
I think Komi socdem route is underrated. It can be greatly satisfying since after Vozenensky leaves the country changes from social democratic to democratic socialism. All his reforms to privatise the economy seems to grind to a halt after Yakoklev takes over.
Vozenensky is a crook, and in true...
For consistency, I would recommend adding the light grey "subdivision" borders for North/South Dakota, Wyoming/Montana, and VT/NH. Also, you should calculate electoral college numbers once you are done.
Well more blame could be put on the social democrats for strangling the Spartacist revolution in the crib that rather than the Poles, as well as New Deal and social democracy in general giving rise to a middle class. The interesting thing is that the growth of reverse exceptionalist thinking...
