  1. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Yeah. It isn't viable, especially as the Princely states are seen (probably rightly) as collaborators and will probably be jumped on by a Congress led India no matter what happens. The only way they survive is if there isn't any kind of united India when Britain departs. Given that was a main...
  2. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Yeah sorry misremembering. But in either case you know "divide and rule" will happen and even if the leaders of the Congress don't get locked up for a few years its likely things will still badly fragment. About the best that can be hoped for is that there isn't a cut and run this time and we...
  3. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Possibly but it's very late in the day and hindu nationalism is going to emerge, that will see the Muslim opposite and...trouble...to say the least.
  4. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Yeah and he was the Empire's strongest supporter. Certainly a slimmed down democratised Empire could have been saved, but it's was never more than "Best of a very bad lot," (no Congo's and America's crimes were mostly after 1776) and it shouldn't be held up as a truly good thing. After all...
  5. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    He's entirely the worst person for that, and the fact he doesn't actually care about the job will become obvious shortly. Notably OTL he buried himself when he ditched on opening a hospital to play with Simpson and he's likely to be that stupid here. If his brother or Niece had tried to regain...
  6. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Certainly not impossible, although I think the heartland might be a bit further south as the main trade area will be the extreme South East coast (as is true in OTL for most of our history).
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    It was suggested around the time of the Dominion of Australia being founded, NZ told the Aussies where to head in IIRC.
  8. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    All good points and there is almost no way the Briton's won't develop some kind of Maritime tradition if they're not occupied. After all Rome isn't sucking their life blood and their is a very prosperous state right next door and they're going to want in on that action. Equally Rome is going to...
  9. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Also the war wasn't finished ITTL when the bombs were being tested. Trinity was seen for hundreds of miles around and the atolls used from 1946 had the slight issue of a still existing Japan that might have tried to interfere. Where as the Australian range is out of the way, by that point the...
  10. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Yeah it's just extra mercs, not a replacement. Also from a Roman perspective two sources means you can play them off on each other and they won't be conspiring to take advantage of you. Also means there will already be Brit's in various places who will send for their family's when Rome enters...
  11. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    True, although obviously that isn't as big an issue here since there's nothing beyond Britain to threaten the Romans so at most they'll properly properly up friendly southern tribes to block off any risk of raiders from further North going after Gaul. True but it can be done with the technology...
  12. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    And you'll end up with certain tribes (as happened in the East) who can't compete with the coming powers look south and see a nice anarchy in the middle of some prime land. It's not exactly hard to get across the channel and if you can't expand at home heading abroad to colonize has been a...
  13. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Why not, they did it OTL, and further they did it while Britain proper was imploding and under Anglo Saxon invasion. Here Britain will be fairly stable, won't have suffered four centuries of Roman occupation and should have an intact economy at least on the same level as the Germanic tribes...
  14. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Probably still on the Jutland coast actually, although a bigger Brittany covering the entire channel coast would be plausible.
  15. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    All good points. Also OTL Briton's did colonise in Gaul (in the form of Brittany), not weakened by centuries of Roman mismanagement they'll be able to keep the Germanic tribes out this time and maybe do some rather more extensive expansion themselves... Meanwhile "England" probably ends up on...
  16. Less successful Roman conquest of Britannia

    Well for a while at any rate. Any client state status probably goes away once the plagues or the crisis of the 3rd century occurs since (as OTL) that will be when the Roman's refocus on the prosperous Greek half of the Empire instead of the western European bit they're been propping up since the...
  17. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    It's hard to say. Absent the EU and modern Europe in general they're stuck with each other (both states are a bit to small to be viable completely on their own without being plugged into a supernational entity). Without the Nazis you'd still see the issues between the two (namely that the...
  18. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    But with a more pragmatic professional military officer as head of the Reich any plan that looks like a rerun of what was tried in 1914 is likely to receive a much poorer reception. Especially as LV's plan (in keeping with post Locarno thinking under Weimer) seems focused on fighting the East...

    Sorry me being a bit British there.
