  1. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    I found a version which I think is a bit better than this map here: https://www.durham.ac.uk/media/durham-university/research-/research-centres/ibru-centre-for-borders-research/maps-and-databases/publications-database/boundary-amp-territory-briefings/btb_1-8.pdf The map is on page 4, the...

  2. Map Thread XXII

    True enough, but thoughts were asked for, thoughts were given. It's currently glossed over in the mini-TL, so that's where my thoughts went.

  3. Map Thread XXII

    Several. It is a nice map and mini-timeline and relevant to my interests: Qatar was in the British sphere of influence since the Anglo-Ottoman convention of 1913. Same as Kuwait, that would not have been an internal issue after 1913, even if the convention TTL was never ratified (it wasn't...

  4. What should the United States, Britain, and France, have done differently regarding Germany, and Europe, at the End of World War One?

    The French and Belgians tried to set up separatist republics in the Palatinate and the Rhineland and both failed. I don't see this region going for independance without force of arms propping it up. It's not just you, but people keep saying to just split the regions off as if it was the people...

  5. Effects of an Imperial German (and later Imperial Japanese) Philippines

    Die Philippinen, plural. Don't see any renames, myself. Deutsch-Philippinen, if anything at all.

  6. Without the rise of the Nazis, would the Weimar government have fallen to the anti-democratic monarchists instead?

    If the republic can muddle on two more years, the return of the Saarland (which I take as a given) would give it a pretty nice boost in popularity too, I think.

  7. Germany Goes East first in 1914, British politics aspects only discussion

    One thing that should be mentioned is that the Eifel had been an infrastructurally poor region ("prussian Siberia"). The French armies can go through there, but it's not going to be very fast.

  8. Frankfurt, Capital of West Germany

    No, I think you are missing the point - the whole idea that German grammar rules imply that he stated "I'm a jelly doughnut" is made up of whole cloth for an audience which is addicted to "gaffes". It's simply not true.

  9. Frankfurt, Capital of West Germany

    Three reasons: 1) Because it's no joke, it's simply flat out wrong and that uninformed people still believe he said "I am a jelly doughnut" despite being told over and over that this is not what he said at all because is pretty insulting. Nobody likes willfully dense people. 2) It's a...

  10. A Federal 2nd Reich

    Is that a DBWI?

  11. Challenge: HRE

    Having the HRE reestablished in 1815 is not difficult - it mainly didn't happen because Emperor Francis II/I was too fed up with his fellow monarches. Of course, the big problems are getting it to survive alt-1848 and alt-1871 even before you factor in the turn of the century. A recreation...

  12. Why did Austria-Hungary have such a terrible WWI record?

    I'm German, so no problems there. Thanks, I'll look into it.

  13. Why did Austria-Hungary have such a terrible WWI record?

    Pray tell, that's news to me. Where can I read more about it, the books I have mention it the other way around (i.e. it damaged the AH war effort)?

  14. Why did Austria-Hungary have such a terrible WWI record?

    The Russians had pretty much all information about the AH mobilisation and strategy they could ask for, thanks to a high level spy. Seems to have helped the Serbians a lot too in repelling the AH invasion.

  15. If the US did not enter WW1, would Germany win?

    Incidentally, you should really continue it.

  16. Flag Thread II

    Nothing? :(

  17. Flag Thread II

    Asimovian Solar System flag. Might be useful later.

  18. Map Thread VII

    Cold War for a change.

  19. Map Thread VII

    Battletech starcharts are strictly 2D, so they qualify as maps, imo. ;)

  20. Map Thread VII

    I've gone back to the Battletech fandom recently and made a couple of maps.
