  1. Post-USSR Intermarium

    Idle idea after I looked at the map in the bigger Eurozone thread and thought about Ukraine's fate at being caught between Russia and Europe. What if the Eastern European nations decided to pursue a neo-Intermarium type policy of mutual alignment as a possible defense against a future resurgent...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    NATO wasn't occupying likely hostile people's, nor seeking to expand, especially if they received colonies from their defeated enemies.

    Thanks for your interest, Alessanfro
  4. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Doesn’t matter if you can’t feed them.

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Ooh, I like both of those choices!
  6. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    Adam Tooze discusses these estimates in The Wages of Destruction. The Wehrmacht could make its post-Poland resources stretch for 3 years if it abstained from serious offensive action, 2 years if it remained constantly on the move. The numbers posted in the post below yours supports that...
  7. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    Because OTL the Germans had a plan to follow and an alliance with Russia wasn’t part of it. But the Russians doing what they did OTL changed the German plan. Ergo, the Russians not doing what they did OTL would mean (in all likelihood) that the Germans would do what they originally planned to...

    A European "China"?

    I think it's because the core area of China, the North China plain as well as the lower reaches of the Yangzi river, is completely and utterly flat. Like, flatter than Kansas tier flat. However, it's sufficiently large enough that the instant someone dominates it, they're heavily encouraged to...
  9. WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    But would a half measure be more desirable than losing the entire country? Or would it be worse because everyone would still be unhappy and it would show half-hearted weakness?
  10. The L84A1, A2 and A3 Assault rifle - "The Last Enfield"

    The British SF L119 is the C8SFW. They’re lighter than L85s, I know that much. But then again, practically every 5.56 assault rifle is.
  11. Question: Was Yugoslavia doomed from the start?

    Hm, I don't know what I can really say, beyond what I had said in the past. I do genuinely think that Yugoslavia had the chance to succeed and survive in some shape or form, even with monarchist Yugoslavia when some would argue that it was a glorified Greater Serbia. Had King Alexander not been...

    Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    I didn't mean to suggest they'd conquer the whole Sasanian Empire, however, they'd probably conquer much of their westernmost territories, the Sasanians were folding by the 7th century and didn't put up too much of a stiff resistance after the fall of Ctesiphon. Now, in this TL, could they hold...
  13. WI: No USAC/CART Split

    If USAC just surrenders to CART in the beginning, as they did eventually, then everything pretty much happens as OTL. To prevent the first split requires one of several POD's such as: 1. The leadership of USAC isn't decimated in the plane crash and Tony Hulman lives until 1979. With decent...
  14. A 1919 Kingdom of Syria, without a coastline.

    How is it border gore? It's the OTL boundaries with tiny adjustments. So there'd be two large Hashemite Kingdoms with tiny coastlines. Perhaps the British persuade them that direct rule isn't feasible.
  15. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    I'm late to the party again, but based on Juan de Flandes' portrait of Catherine I'd suggest Hera Hilmar or this girl. I think either of them would also work for Juana.
  16. A 1919 Kingdom of Syria, without a coastline.

    The main question is why would France agree to this? If for some reason they do, be sure that Faisal would already be planning on how to liberate those occupied Arab lands. And when the territories get independence, they will immediately be in an existential threat.
  17. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I find constant reference to the Septemberprogramm a sign of laziness, as if the person putting it forward hasn't bothered to see if German war aims might have changed after October 1914. It's the same with the Polish Border Strip, the Ludy plan is quoted as if it's gospel rather than one of a...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    I'm sorry...what the fuck...brb gonna go vomit. Though that's not as bad as her actually asserting that Anne and George Boleyn slept together.
  19. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Unlikely; ITTL the world is significantly more militarized. Germany earned a massive colonial empire and Britain is unlikely to want to lose any other naval vessels they weren't forced yo give up (assuming they were forced to give up much) I think the only reason the US stopped building...
  20. WI: No Molotov-Ribbentrop

    I believe the question is would Germany have gone ahead with the invasion of Poland without an agreement with the USSR. I believe like the op seems to that they would have.
