Another question with the ottomans, wouldn't pan-islamic politics not become dominate? With de-colonisation muslims around the world will look to them for leadership and support.
Underestimating the amount of money oil brings and over estimating the amount they will need to spend on non muslim subjects, its not a 50 50 split empire. Jews have no issue ottomans generally good to them. Wahhabism won't catch on due to the ottomans being caliph and being actively involved in religious discourse. Arabs will look to istanbul over nejd for religious leadership. Ottoman islam is alive and not been battered similar to ottoman politics.Will they really? The Ottomans are still weak and the Ottomans will likely have a economy heavy dependent on oil, but at the same they will need those money to bribe domestic actors
They control most of the oil. Little issue here.The Ottomans are still weak and the Ottomans will likely have a economy heavy dependent on oil,
Kurdish nationalism was never an issue for ottomans thats a republic of turkey issue. Kurds were fine with ottoman rule.Kurds will be in a weaker position, which would keep them more loyal
hmm more likely that a German company would simply set up its own factory in Warsaw.Suppose they are having a friendly chat when they are suddenly interrupted by the German ambassador. "Excuse me, gentlemen. I am very sorry to interrupt, but we need to talk about these new radio factories in Warsaw. Bad quality? On the contrary, the radios might not be top notch, but they are of excellent quality for such a modest price. And this is kind of the problem. You see, German companies don't appreciate this competition. And since we liberated you, you guys owe us a favour here..." What happens next is a better test of independence than wether maps of Europe show some territory labelled "KINGDOM OF POLAND".
Dont know about the league but the IMO, ILO, WHO and several other agencies would be useful and with all of those some co-ordination would not go amiss.In the absence of an organisation like the LON, it might not be impossible that the IPU could evolve to cover some of the aspects that would have been covered by the LON and later UN in our world.
Complicated. More complicated that I would care to research in depth. But basically, the church is tearing itself apart in a three-way contest between its influential factions. Firstly, the Conciliari or 'Piononists', the faction that insists the Catholic Church is legitimately a superordinate political body with authority over the states of Europe and complete internal autonomy governed by an infallible Pope, and anyone who says otherwise is evil. These guys are a disappearing force, but because their greatest influence is in the curia, they retain disproportionate influence for a long time, and politicians who can curry favour with them tend to be able to get meaningful support espeially in very Catholic countries, so they remain serious players for the first half of the century.Got a question whats the situation with the catholic church and italy? No facist italy means no vatican city, so has the catholic church moved to another country?

Secondly, the Accomodationists or Concordatists, believers in the natural order of the ethnic nation state who see nothing wrong in principle with there being national Catholic churches under the theological hegemony of Rome. THey are most influential in national hierarchies and concern themselves with many of the practicalities that keep the church alive, and many managed to get along very well with their respective governments. The Polish concordate is counted among their triumphs, and the fact that Italy did not follow France into secularism, but embraced a 'Gallican' national church mode gave them leverage in the Vatican, too. THis faction ultimately will end up dominant.
Finally, there are the Modernists. THese people believe that the church has a valuable contribution to make beyond the scope of the nation state and that nationalism is, in fat, a kind of heresy, but that to do so, it must embrace modernism. They tend to be very evangelical about Catholic Social Teaching and see the Socialist INternational as a first-order competitor and model for ther own efforts. At their best, they underpin moderate conservative movements in many European states. At their worst, they're Catholic INtegralists covertly supporting terrorism where the state is anti-Catholic and repression where it is Catholic. THis faction never gets to dominate curia, but their writings are hugely influential.
And then there's a lot of people who just want to pray and do Christian stuff, but they don't amount to much politically.
This isn't too shabby for an ATL assessment not researched in depth.
...
I am little more unsure about just what to make of your Modernists, and it's strange to think of any of them as integrist terrorists, even as a secondary impulse! Perhaps my historical imagination just isn't vivid or flexible enough?
I would still have to think that there would be some flavor of this faction that would be genuinely liberal (as Newman understood the term) in their basic impulse, even in a Europe and North America as politically conservative as this world is . . . liberalism had been fermenting for too long, and had acquired too much potency, by the turn of the century to not be a real temptation for some Catholics no matter how the 20th century worked out.
I do think there would be a Second Vatican Council, at the first opportune moment after Rome managed to settle its sovereignty question with Italy (which I think would still look more or less like the Lateran Treaty of our TL, since the basic premises of the had been on the table since 1870*) . . at some point mid-century, possible even before the second Russo-German War, but not necessarily. But this would be a Vatican II as Pius XI or Pius XII would have conceived it: a much less ambitious sequel to the First Vatican Council, to tidy up the unfinished business left by Savoyard troops when they entered Rome in 1870. It would not generate any real rupture in the life of the Church.

* I don't know if this would be your direct response to @haider najib's original question, but such is what I would offer. Vittorio Emmanuel II had offered largely the same deal to Pio Nono before his troops bum rushed Rome, with even the entire Leonine City thrown in (Pius, of course, told him to go to hell), and the basics of the arrangement made too much sense to the interests of both the Papacy and the Savoyard state for it not to happen at some point; the real opposition was mainly on the Vatican's side, and (I think) simply needed the passage of time to drive home the unrealism of papal hopes that the Risorgimento could somehow be undone. I don't think I know enough about how you have Italian political history playing out to guess at just when and how it would happen, though.
Think of the cozy relationship parts of the Catholic hierarchy of the United States had with the Fenians, or the way the church got along famously with armed traditionalists in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
For every fire-breating anti-Socialist Modernist, there are several relaxed believers in freedom of worship and association and most Catholic political parties have more in common with Zentrum than with the Falange.
I assume a similar deal will at some point be struck, but that is what I meant by more thoroughly research. I simply don't have the time to dive into the groups, individuals, organisations and trends that shaped polic IOTL and how they would go ITTL. I am sure the Italian state - a moderate constitutional monarchy with strong traditionalist parties - will make such a deal. BUt I have no real grasp of when and who with. Some Concordatist pope, sometime after 1930, is my guess.
University of Breslau, Department of Physics, Untergrund Annex, 25 Jul 1938 [post canon]The university enjoys imperial protection, and it's liable to end up among the leading institutions in Prussia. But I don't foresee anything exceptional happening.

No doubt. But then, the Falange in OTL was the least Catholic component of Franco's coalition.
It doesn't seem too hard to me to project out what this would look like the south German states/principalities, or even for that matter, Austria-Hungary. But it's harder to get a handle on what it looks like in France, a France that was never shattered by the Grea War.
I have a very hard time figuring the trajectory of Italy. Without WWI and the disastrous fallout of that 'victory', I suppose the liberal elites of the north will stay in power - until other groups squeeze them out. But how exactly? I know too little.No, that sounds about right. It's the main ingredient needed for the recipe, and it's sufficient passage of time to shift the thinking inside the Vatican. All that is needed then is a reasonably strong and self-confident Italian government of the day, which is certainly what Mussolini was in the late 20's.
The Great War IOTL delayed the talks that would ultimately lead to the Lateran Treaties, so I'd guess that the twenties are more likely.Think of the cozy relationship parts of the Catholic hierarchy of the United States had with the Fenians, or the way the church got along famously with armed traditionalists in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. We are not talking about clerics leading the charge, just looking the other way and occasionally helping out with CHristian compassion and a place to hide, or an escape route.
Liberalism, by the standards of the church, would be at home with both the Concordatists and the Modernists. There are different flavors to both. For every fire-breating anti-Socialist Modernist, there are several relaxed believers in freedom of worship and association and most Catholic political parties have more in common with Zentrum than with the Falange. THe goal of the Concordatists is to make Catholics full partners in the modern state without surrendering the church as an entity. They genuinely like the modern state, even in its democratic form. In fact, many like emocracies that make fewer claims on individual identity more.

In the rather earthy tones of Bavaria, the Falange were people that the Catholic Church should not even have looked at with its arse in a perfect world. But one arranges oneself with reality. And we aren't going anywhere near Ustasha-levels of awful ITTL.
France and the church - that is a long and painful story. And it is never going to get good after Clemenceau, though it does get better. France is the church's estranged eldest daughter, a dangerous precedent to people everywhere that you can be Catholic and not beholden to the church. And the Vatican hates it. Sure people make arrangements, but the French situation is literally the reason why Piononists and Concordatists are so bitterly opposed to each other. Most everywhere else the church either accepts it is in a minority position (Prussia, Britain, the USA) or gets a generous deal (Italy, Spain, Austria). But France rankles.

Sorry im an idiot so i need help, how is the situation with poles please i understand their not a 'accepted culture' but will get equal rights eventually as with polish signs but can i get a bit more as im stupid.
Is the experience of poles in Germany similar to that of african americans in pre civil rights america? Im trying to find what the polish spot in the germany society is all i find its prussia fuck the poles policy so is it a fair comparison or not, as i definelty feel there something wrong with it. Is it akin to more of the irish with the UK, they are still irish but Anglicanized alot?
Moreover how does equal rights for poles (yes i know treating them equal but in what ways) poles are not a minority spread across all of germany but located in eastern germany. So how will language equality? Will it be across all of germany or just prussia? Will it be made a official language as in government etc can be user in courts? Will germans have to learn polish as well? If poles get equal rights will they have a irish situation where they keep their culture but adopt the dominant language? Lastly will there still there still a racists and unofficial racist policies towards poles using america as an example war on drugs etc target minorities more.
Sorry im on a polish binge got some smaller questions.
Are poles allowed in the german army? If so how is it for them?
Will any noticeable differences between german poles and polish poles?
The fight for equality of all three groups is coterminous. All three make different advances at different times because of the political context. The Alstaian French are first to gain linguistic rights, but last to get any decent political representation because, well, France. The Danes fare best because, you know, Denmark, no big deal. THe Poles are the largest group and the ones most widely regarded with racist disdain, but they are also best organised and connected, and they have influential friends in Prussia.Lastly when poles gain political equality will thr french and danish minorities then demand equality?
Thanks for answering
General if anyone can answer how important was franz joseph to the unity of the empire were the various groups of people fond of him i read his death during ww1 was a major blow to austria hungary.
Main question franz joesph i heard was very important to the national unity of austria hungary with his death will the importance of Habsburg family remain with them being the focal point of national unity or will it move to something else?
