  1. A strong European Civilization like Carthage or Rome

    Massalia creating a Greco-Gaulic state perhaps?
  2. France Fights On (English Translation) - Thread II - To the continent!

    It makes sense, sure, but perhaps during the events of TTL they perhaps lost the manufacturing capability (where was it made anyway?) and since it was notoriously harder to make than other combat helmets, perhaps they switched to a different, simpler design?
  3. France Fights On (English Translation) - Thread II - To the continent!

    I might have missed this, but are the French using the Adrian helmet ITTL?
  4. AHC: Create a nation that is a blend of Europeans and East Asians.

    Perhaps a Dutch Formosa in a TL where they manage to get trade deals with the Qing court, but the only caveat is that exchange does not happen on the mainland. So Formosa becomes an extremely important trade hub for the Netherlands and they make a concentrated effort to populate and fortify the...
  5. How would you realistically prevent NATO expansion into Eastern Europe after the Cold War

    Can we see this? Because I have heard a few versions of this Russian propaganda, some with Bush, some with Clinton, so which one is it?
  6. The Brotherly War 1917-1918

    It would look like Operation Margarethe, but perhaps could lead to some very interesting butterflies.
  7. Fascists takes power in France in 1934

    He also knew an opportunity when he saw one. If there is a brief political instability in France in 1934 (but no outright civil war) before Fascists take power, could they make a gamble for the Rhineland early? Not sure if they are in any shape to do so but they weren't really ready OTL either...
  8. Fascists takes power in France in 1934

    Poland is guaranteed by both France and Britain. They were willing to go to war over it OTL. If the Soviets were to decide to just march through, Poland would fight. Between the Soviets and the Poles, France and Britain will not choose the Soviets, especially since there is no Germany standing...
  9. Fascists takes power in France in 1934

    This scenario forgets two things: 1. Poland 2. without WW2 there is no decolonization
  10. Fascists takes power in France in 1934

    I also don't think Fascist France would somehow turn against England, they are very staunch allies at this point with minimal conflicting interest. France would not support Franco for Gibraltar, France has nothing to win from a conflict like that (but they could lose their navy and their...
  11. Fascists takes power in France in 1934

    France would be still very anti-German and be closer to Italy. They might directly intervene in Spain on behalf of Franco and support Italy in regards to Austria to keep Germany disunited. Strong ties with Poland for the same reason, tacit support for the Little Entene. Remilitarization of the...
  12. What if the Coptic Christians of Egypt successfully managed to found their own kingdom in the 10th century?

    I had this crazy idea once that Mongols take Egypt and torch Cairo and raid up and down the Nile, massacring large part of the Muslim population. The Copts instead offer no resistance and become subjects, which lands them as favored servants in the Egyptian Khanate (advisors, etc). Later on, the...
  13. If Tamerlane destroys the Ottomans, who is most likely to capture Constantinople?

    If the Ottomans completely fall apart, then I don't see why anyone would try and take the city. It's still a huge fortress. Instead, Byzantines might limp on as a quasi city-state, maybe going more mercantile.
  14. Monoethnic Pannonian Plain?

    How about Hungarians being Germanized? Let's say Christianity doesn't catch on very well or that Stephen I does not manage to defeat the pagan rebellions alone and is forced to rely on (even heavier than OTL) German support. Something akin to the Northern Crusades happen and once the pagans are...
  15. The Second Korean War - With A Twist

    I like the idea but Russia in the EU only 8 years after apparently ousting an autocratic (Putin?) regime is complete ASB. Only way I see them being in the EU is if the USSR collapsed in the 60s (perhaps partially due to the Korean War?) and after decades of democratic progress, consolidation and...
  16. West Germany Buys the F-16

    Couldn't they get a cheaper variant without the naval features? A West German tender could be a big enough deal for General Dynamics-Grumman and it is essentially a downgrade anyway as I understand, so no extensive R&D required.
  17. West Germany Buys the F-16

    First thought is the F-16 XL. It came a bit late but if there is a clear German requirement they might start the development earlier. Second is... well they want a dual-seat, variable wing heavy fighter bomber... why not the Tomcat?
  18. Would a quick CP victory have extended the life of Austria-Hungary?

    I don't know why everyone is talking about 1918 victory, when the OP clearly states the war is over by 1915. Let's say literally everything goes right for the CP. Like so: - Conrad falls out of favor after the annexation of Bosnia, as shortcomings of the army are highlighted despite the quick...
