    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    As a general/political lingua franca I can see your point that Arabic might not be relevant enough for the peasantry or diplomats just yet. In that case, regional languages like Occitan/Meridian, Anglish, and German are probably the major languages of Christian Europe for most of the Early...
  2. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Good point's man though Egypt surprisingly enough might have a peaceful solution if a agreement was ever reached, that might with some soviet help. The muslim brotherhood and Egyptian army share a long, complex, love and hare relationship given they were some of the strongest organizations in...
  3. What if Enigma machine code was never broken

    What if the enigma machine had more wheels at least 5 or 6 and its code was never broken?how would it had affected the war in Europe?
  4. A European "China"?

    Yeah as early Muslims did adopted a lot of roman influence, specially the Ummayds and Egypto-Syrian ones, here the influence would be far massive, more if they get the original/real Rome alongside Constantinople/new Rome, as the guy mentioned, Rashidun/Ummayds Caliphate becoming the Geopolitical...
  5. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Frankly, that event stands entirely within reason, given the context. At the warlord stage, Komi is in a very Weimar-esque situation. The Bolsheviks, alongside the Passionarists, were plotting to destroy the Komi Republic's Democracy, just like how Lenin toppled the Provisional Government with...
  6. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    No. Beria was a lot of things but he wasn’t stupid or suicidal. He was crafty and calculating and wouldn’t do something like making the only person that had power over him upset by violating his daughter. For years Beria watched Stalin order people tortured, imprisoned or killed for the most...
  7. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    I doubt Beria would have done anything, like Father Maryland says he wasn't stupid, but it's fair to say the guy was pathological. Stalin probably worried there was a chance he wouldn't control himself even with how suicidal it would have been. Yeah, Beria probably would have been an asshole...

    US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    Plus in my view, France would have little in the way of leverage.
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Disagree. It was still with with surface-cooling plus a pop-out auxiliary radiator. It was for 1941-42. The Fw 190 was smaller than Spitfire, P-51 or Ki-61, all of whom were just fine with engines equal to the DB 601s, that by 1941 will be either N or E versions. Against the OTL Fw 190, we do...
  10. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    I think the Germans would only take Briey-Longwy, Belfort, and the western slopes of the Vosges from France. Minor border adjustments with great strategic and economic value; losing them would cripple France's war machine. They might also annex Luxembourg and parts of Belgium (Arlon at least...

    Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    O Oh I've already seen it, and I honestly thought the hockey crash line was a joke! I'll have to look up that incident. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, Stalin didn't seem to care about anyone beyond himself. I'm not sure if he was a true sociopath, but I bet he'd get rather close.
  12. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    In OTL the USA put pressure on Britain, France, and the Netherlands to decolonize (the Suez Crisis was just the most high profile instance for Britain and France) and NATO still formed.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Early Modern seems a bit too soon for me, I think it will take until the (equivalent of the) 1800s. Arabic will definitely be a scientific/world diplomacy language before then, possibly the scientific language (English but with Arabic loanwords in everything, not just chemistry) but until the...
  14. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Good political, economic analysis. What you left out were the ethnic minorities that sided with the Americans, and fought along with them. Post war those people were screwed, abandoned by the U.S. and crushed by the Communists. You also forgot about the ethnic Chinese, who's oppression was a...

    Philip V Manages to Successfully Intervene in the Second Punic War

    Indeed, my first thought was Rhodes, but I think they were antagonistic with the Antogonids by this point.
  16. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Do you think Beria would have actually been stupid enough to try it (At least try if without putting a bullet in Stalin before doing so.)?
  17. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    This is so much nonsense. More valuable than colonies and placing India under threat? What “imminent invasion”? The Germans have three battleships worth the name and a handful of cruisers. The rest is going to be fucking river barges. The solution to this ‘threat’ is... hand over the fourth...
  18. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Dirlewanger might just be a real life case of "He survived so long despite insane risks and injuries because even Satan was creeped out by the sick fuck and found the idea of having to spend all of eternity near him to be horrifying."
  19. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    So EXACTLY what reason would Hitler give for wanting ANY French battleships ?? (other than for use against the Royal Navy) PLUS, how does he convince people he lied to, consistantly, that "this time it's different, I'll keep my word, honest" ...
  20. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    And after they 'defeat' the commies declare 'mission accomplished' have a flag lowering ceremony and pull out - and the 'commies' come back and continue where they left off before rudely interrupted by the USA what then?
