us invasion of france?????

probably did not end well

also "kinh rouge" is a very weird name for the VC; we as Vietnamese don't really use "Kinh" that much when referring to ourselves; "người Việt" (lit. "vietnamese people") is way more common

is it a western-assigned exonym, the name of 'Kinh Rouge?'

The Emerald of Britain
- What if the Third Irish Home Rule Bill was successful?
View attachment 733422
With the assassination of Carson, and the (reluctant) acceptance by Midleton to Irish Home Rule, the crisis in Ireland peppered out, and merely two days before the First World War rocked the world, Ireland held its first election under the banner of Home Rule. In the preceding months of negotiation, campaigning, and politicking, a clear pattern emerged for the voters. With the reunification of the Irish Parliamentary Party and the All-For-Ireland League, as most Centrist and Center-Left vote left for the Irish Parliamentary, whilst Right-wing and Conservative votes (not merely Unionist) went to the Irish Unionist Party, as Midleton was partially successful in rebranding the Irish Unionist Alliance as a Conservative and Center-Right/Right-Wing party in Ireland during campaigning.

Major topics were brought up during the campaign. The idea of Independence was rejected by all mainstream political parties in Ireland at the time with the exception of Independent Nationalists and Sinn Fein, which under Griffith was still proposing its idea of replicating an Austria-Hungary style solution to Britain and Ireland at the time. However, there were elements within the IPP who believed that with Home Rule now attained, independence as a Dominion of the British Empire was the logical next step and final step forward. However, Redmond who believed Ireland to be the 'Shining Emerald of the United Kingdom' did not believe in full independence, instead opting for regionalism and as much autonomy as possible.

A Constitutionalist to the last, Redmond's promise of greater Rule of Law, and greater legislations in favor of land reform, and aiding the government of Britain in its negotiations against the July Crisis brought in a lot of votes for the IPP, whilst the Irish Unionists ran a bland normal center-right platform with the trappings of Unionism, which to their credit, did garner good amounts of votes. The election was held under the Reform Act of 1884 and its suffrage system, thus making sure only 1 in 2 Irish men could actually vote in the elections, leading the lower amount of votes casted.

IPP won a landslide in the elections, and Redmond became the first Irish Premier of Home Rule Ireland.

The Irish Parliamentary Elections of 1919 was the first election won by the Irish Unionists in Home Rule Ireland. With the Reform Act of 1918-19, millions in Ireland were enfranchised to the vote, and much like other places in Britain at the time, many in the newly enfranchised classes were moving towards the right, and as such, the Irish Unionists, who had successfully rebranded themselves as the Conservatives of Ireland under the leadership of Midleton and subsequently Farnham gained a large voter base. Meanwhile the nature of their opposite party, the IPP also allowed the Unionists to gain a key platform of campaigning.

Redmond's death in 1918 had left Ireland and a good bit of Britain in mourning and he was succeeded as Premier by Dillon. Dillon, despite his successful nature as a Home Ruler in the party, did not prove to be a successful administrative politician, and his policies were often contradictory and showed little understanding of the fundamental economics required for land reforms in Ireland. Furthermore, Dillon's negative attitude towards the British government's attempts at creating a 'fair peace' in Europe was seen with disdain in Ireland, as the First World War and Irish Home Rule had rekindled a sense of British-Irish comradery only seen before the Great Irish Famine. Dillon's incessant public complaints about the diplomatic team of the UK in the ongoing peace process only irritated the Irish voters.

This was evident when the elections were conducted, the Irish Unionists won a majority in the Irish House of Commons, and Baron Farnham was appointed as Premier for Ireland by both the Prime Minister and the King. John Dillon's career in politics and as the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party was short after that with him being replaced later in the year. The Unionist government's early reign was peaceful and prosperous but was quickly destabilized by the post-WW1 Economic Depression which led to its fall in 1923.

The Post WW1 Depression that hit Europe hit the United Kingdom hard, as one of the greater financers of the war. From 1920 - 1921/22, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was subsumed into a credit crunch that affected its monetary supply and its economic capability to pay off War Debts to individual debtors and state debtors such as the United States of America. Initially, the Unionist government before the Depression proved to be a peaceful and prosperous government, with Ireland experiencing a post-war peace and stability that was much appreciated. But the advent of the Depression and the confused handling of said Depression in Ireland by the Unionists under Farnham raised a lot of opposition against the Unionists.

The IPP's new leader, Devlin proved himself to be a canny orator as well. He appealed to the centrists through his ideals of classical liberalism and his credentials as a constitutionalist home-ruler was ideal for the nationalist voter as well. His personal administrative and management skills meant that the IPP had a very well funded campaign as well. All of these factors from above combined to give the IPP the mandate to form a Third IPP Government in Home Rule Ireland. Meanwhile, the Irish Unionists grimaced as they were forced to simply 53 out of 164 and 13 out of 40 seats in the Irish Parliament at the time. Farnham however would not resign from the leadership and retained the support of key voters and leaders in the party at the time, allowing him to stay in power as leader of the party until 1935.

The mild Depression also allowed for Stephen Gwynn's Irish Center Party to break into the Parliament in a greater and more meaningful manner. Having changed his ideology a bit, the Irish Center Party represented a middle ground between the absolute regionalism of the IPP and the absolute loyalism of the Irish Unionists, basically believing in Social Welfare, Constitutional Monarchism, Moderate Nationalism and Moderate Unionism, essentially created the modern ideology of the Irish Third Way. This new ideology garnered a lot of votes for the ICP from disenchanted Unionist and IPP voters, beginning the slow rise of the ICP on the Irish political scene.

Norbert Gerwald Hofer (born 2 March 1971) is a German politician and soldier currently serving as the Chancellor of Germany. Born in 1971, Hofer joined the German Army in 1991 in the midst of the Croatian Civil War, fighting for the German-backed opposition against the Russo-Italian supported government. Returning home, Hofer became more involved with local politics, eventually joining his Gau's branch of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and rising through its ranks. He was then nominated for Steiermark's Senate seat in 2012 and was seated on 30 January 2013. He became aligned with the "United Europe" bloc of the party, which favors reduced trading barriers between members of the CECE and further integration of Europe's armed forces.

Amidst the Hupeh Virus, Konrad Adam stepped down from the Chancellorship and an election was held to nominate a new Chancellor. Hofer was one of the first party members to join the contest, ultimately facing Frank Franz in the final round of voting. With the backing of the party's moderate and traditionalist factions, Hofer prevailed over the Hitlerist Franz and was formally appointed by President Alexander Gauland on 4 April 2021. He is the first Chancellor from former Austria since Adolf Hitler.

So this a TL where the U.S treats NATO more like the Warsaw Pact? How brutal was the U.S occupation of France? Given it seemed to last for about 30 years U.S forces must have been under constant insurgent attacks.

From The Day the World Burned Down:​

The presidency of

The PoD is 2022 when Russia decides to nuke Kyiv, which sends the war spiralling out of control and results in a nuclear exchange that irradiates the Northern Hemisphere. Andrea was born amidst the chaos, on the recently-reclaimed Bahamas (now part of the United States). She moves back to Boston where her parents used to live before the war, and runs for Senator of Massachusetts. Two years later, she decides to run for President and narrowly wins over the Republican candidate.

Her presidency is most notable for the "Unite the States!" campaign which successfully established a trading network with the states that make up the former United States (such as California and Texas).

Thought it best to post here as it's far enough away from Current Politics; the boundary line would be somewhere in the 2030s to 2040s.​
