  1. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    The Stans population was very low even in the 1970s OTL. They are now likely Slavic majority lands, with Uzbeks, Kazakhs etc becoming as Russified as Tatars. Local Islam will likely be controlled by the Government through a reconstitured Orenburg Assembly. The more pluralistic aspects of Russian...

  2. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    Thanks for this update Kaiser, a rather grim read unfortunately. Interesting that the Germans are resorting to Draka like tactics with colonised populations, mixing them up, breaking down traditional religions etc. Really scary stuff. Russia is on balance a net winner from this war. It regained...

  3. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    It looks like the Reich is in for a tough fight against Russia. I don't expect Russians to be able to retake all of their former lands, but they may be able to push the border forward along the lines of Onega, Moscow, Tambov and the Don River. Doing so would deprive the Reich of its main source...

  4. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    It had much more to do with the lack of contraceptives available to women and couples.

  5. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    These borders mean Bulgaria losing the south bank of its second largest city Plovdiv and the tobacco producing regions in the South. The territories are populated by roughly three quarters of a million Bulgarians too. Has Greece got enough spare manpower to resettle these territories, alongside...

  6. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Great find Lascaris. I can see the strategic logic behind these adjustments as they make the border far more defensible. The territories concerned are however well populated so large scale population transfers would have been needed. I also don't think Bulgaria would be too pleased to see the...

  7. Californie- French California

    I am following this TL with interest. Given the investments in Californie TTL, it is likely that Algeria won't be as tighly integrated to France TTL. Napoleon may opt to turn it in an Arab kingdom instead of continuing OTL policies.

  8. The Death of Russia - TL

    And which specific reactors are getting "vaporised" here? It takes a lot to vaporise a nuclear reactor. Regardless, yes the consequences for the environment are not positive ...

  9. The Death of Russia - TL

    There are vast differences in the radionucleides generated by a thermonuclear explosion and from a meltdown. Nuclear bombs generate radiation but most of it is gone after a few months to years depending on the yields of the devices.

  10. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    The possible Turkish crimes in occupied Ionia, Constantinople and Armenia haven't be covered in much details so far. @Lascaris what happened in the occupied territories between 1941 and now? We know that many people fled as refugees to Smyrna. But did the Greek army uncover potential crimes...

  11. The Red Boot: the history of Italy in the Cold War (TLIAW)

    I would be fascinating to learn more about how the "Other Italy" of Siciliy-Sardinia is doing. Refugees likely fled there during the civil war, maybe as much as a milion, and defectors only have a small straight to cross too. Italian capitalists and industrialists like the Agnelli family...

  12. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Population movement out of the area are likely already happening given the offensive actions by the Greek army. While the area is under military occupation, military governors will also have leverage over the local populations. Receiving ration cards, ID papers etc can be tied to one's action...

  13. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    Given what happened, we can be almost certain that Algeria will never be an independent nation. An Algerian diaspora may survive, but thats it. The longer the French regime stays in power and continues its policies. The higher the likelyhood that the Maghreb's demographics will be changed...

  14. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    Chilling update, but this portend that something far darker lies in the horizon. France may soon have its darkest chapter in its history. Marc Augier has a rather interesting reputation in alt-hist circles. One which also coincides with what is happening in Germany right now. It looks like...

  15. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Hence why TTL Greece will as you alluded earlier highlight the fact that she is already home to a Pomak minority loyal to Greece.

  16. Lithuania Marches On

    This won't end well for Lithuania ...

  17. WI/AHC : The Franco-British Union as a proto-EU ?

    The TL isn't abandonned per se, its just that life got in the way and the amount of research needed to write a plausible and detailled TL are high. I may explore it again but in a different format.

  18. What if the Franco-British union happened?

    I think you're referring to my TL here ;) A full-on Franco-British Union emerging from the Suez Crisis is unlikely to happen. But one from the 1940 proposal can emerge. I plan to re-explore the subject at some point.

  19. The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War

    I am inclined to agree to an extent. The discovery of Ural oilfields feels a bit rushed for example. However, with US expertise and capital it can happen.

  20. The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War

    Doing some research before saying this would have been useful. Large tracts of Siberia, especially around the Altai, Urals and Steppes are suitable for agriculture. Siberia was becoming the World's largest butter producer before the Russian Civil War and subsequent collectivisation. Even OTL...
