"Oh what's this... this is... Deaugh!"

During the beginning of the Tehran Conference in 1943, it was discovered skunk scent had been sprayed in the room the negotiations were intended to take place in, forcing them to be moved. As the three Allied leaders were moving, they were fired upon and assassinated by SS agents. This managed to stall the Allied advances long enough for Germany to fight back and end the war with a peace somewhat in their favour, allowing the Reich to survive until its collapse following Hitler's death in mid-1954.

"And so I make my point! The League of Nations is deliberately moving stateless peoples here to Germany, to make the German people a minority in their own fucking homeland! DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK WE WILL FUCKING STAND FOR THAT?!"

The colonisation of South Africa is one of the most fascinating, brutal and important events of the Early Modern Era. The movement of the protestents into Africa, in an attempt to decrease tensions within the Holy Roman Empire, settled and changed African history forever. Even though the Flanders-Austrian war occured shortly after the establishment of the first permeant settlements, it helped with dealing with the excess population the empire had and let the empire focus it's energies on outwards expansion that led to the statelets of Northern France and Brittany eventually joining the Empire and creating the Holy Roman Empire we know today.

A quote from the opening chapter of German-African history, specifically the spread of Protestantism into sub-Saharan Africa, along with various European influences, such as Holy Roman Enpire culture. Among the most important would be launching the Holy Roman Wnoire as the most powerful of the European empires, competing with Britain and France, especially with their loyal subjects in South Africa, which still remains a friend to the Holy Roman Empire to the present day.

“*sigh* If only those 537 votes went to Nader and not Gore.”

Spoken by one supporter of Ralph Nader after Bert Gore got the Dem nomination and won the 1984 election to become the oldest serving president ever.

"The divide between the british Australia of the continent's east of Streaky Bay and the north's Victoria River and the French colony of Niyoongaria to the west of it would prove to be a major source of the country's colonial strife. What country would repeat what was seen between the Anglo-Australians and the Deauxians?"
"South Afr-"
"No. Let it be known South Africa and Australia's euro-ethnic relations were way different."
"New France, sir?"
"Yes, that's more or less what I mean."

Spoiler: border for this Australia looks along the lines like this

Also, note that Euxian comes from french word for "[of] water" due to their reliance on it in the dry regions, and if you haven't guessed is basically like dutch Boers or Afrikaans as a whole, only if they were French-descended.

A history professor in Britain explaining to his students the dynamics of British Settlers and French Australians. While it was common to analogize the relation of French and British settlers of Australia to the Boers and the British in South Africa, due to the larger presence of French settlers in Australia before the siezure of parts of French Australia by Britain, this created a Dynamic more similar to New France in North America, where the Partition caused a mass exodus of French Speakers to the still French-Controlled parts of the colony.

An overheard discussion somewhere in Lisbon, mid 18th century, regarding a sudden reduction in the availability of sugar. The problem would be solved in mere weeks, but that was long enough for a series of riots to burn down half the city.

"My King, the rebels have almost breached the gates! We must escape!"

"No, Captain. I am too old to flee, and have already lost too much to this... travesty. If this is to be the end, I will meet it sword in hand. May God have mercy on all our souls."

King Sigurd the Bloody of the Nordic Sea Empire. The charismatic Dane defeated a number of Danish chieftains in Norway and Englaland, to create a unified thalassocracy that controlled territory from the Hebrides to the Kattegat. The success of his rule largely depended on the ability of his conquering fleets to go a-Viking successfully, bringing back war booty and thralls to satiate his jarls, karls, and thanes. Curiously, he was one of the first Danes to convert to Christianity. This made him something of an oddity among his fellows, though his continued success at raiding ensured he enjoyed their support. However, when he began demanding his subordinates convert, he began to lose their favor. His downfall came after the loss of the "Vinland Expedition." A bold campaign to search and conquer supposedly untouched and rich lands to the west, a fleet of several hundred longships and thousands of Viking raiders sailed east with King Sigurd. However, in conflict with the natives, storms, and misfortune, the overwhelming majorit yof the expedition perished. Sigurd returned home with only thirty-seven ships and 1800 men.

Soon after, a coalition of rebels led by his brother, Magnus, launched a campaign to overthrow him. They laid siege to his palace-fortress in Nidaros and when they threatened to breach the gates to the keep, Sigurd the Bloody, true to his nomme de guerre, met the rebels with sword and shield in hand. He personally slew five veteran thingmen before being killed himself. His "Nordic Sea Empire" soon devolved into infighting between the various factions.

"This is it Mr. Pine. This is Salamis, Lepanto, or Celtic Sea. This is the battle that will shake the foundations of history, topple kings, and ruin empires. Neither us nor Ivan is going to shy away from this fight. What is it the Brits say? Right. 'A willing foe and sea room!'"
-Captain Pike Greenwood, Captain of United States Battleship USS Enterprise, 1925

Opening words to the hit American alternate history tv series, 'Here be Dragons'.

First aired on July 26, 2004, 'Here be Dragons'—or HD, as its fans often called it—is set in a world where the US allies with Germans in an alternate version of ww1, which occurred in May 2, 1919. The series explores the ramifications of such an alliance, the defeat of the entente-cordial and the collapse of what was then the old world order of the British and French with the new one led by the USA—who has dominated the Americas after the war—and the German Empire—who has subjugated most of Europe and installed their own puppet regimes from the city of Lisbon to the cold waters of Sank Petersburg.

The series' second season, which is set in 1940 as a revanchist French Republic, now allied with the expansionist USA who seeks to topple the German world order and replace it with its own on the rest of the world beyond the Americas. Unusually, the series original protagonist, Captain—later Admiral—Pike Greenwood, was not the protagonist of the second season and beyond, being relegated to a background character and the big bad of the 5th season for the current protagonist of the series, a British spy, whose real name is unknown but is usually refered to as 'Lord Bervin', working with the German intelligence ministry to ensure Britain stayed out of war.

Britain, battered and defeated by the combined american-german fleet at the Battle of the Celtic Sea, has lost everything by the second seasons airing. Broken, without its empire, and forced to pay reparations in a war it had lost and most of the population opposed entering into. Almost having a revanchist government like France but was only spared from it due to the King's timely intervention (which caused a scandal which almost got him deposed and be replaced by his more imperialistic younger brother) which prevented the government from falling into the hands of the militant demagogoue Eugene Ifernal (called the 'Devil of Brussels' by the Germans, Eugene Ifernal is a former British army officer, hero of the Great War and one of of few officers in the British Army to refuse to surrender to the Americans after there devastating invasion of the isles), who seeks to turn Britain into a Vanguardist state meant to wage total war against those who have wronged it: from the Americans and the Germans who ended her time in the sun to the treacherous dominions who willingly surrendered to American and German might when Britain was still in the middle of rearming its empire to fight total war.

The series in general were well received by critics and fans alike, though there were those who grumbled over the sudden change of protagonist after the first season, as well as for changing the story from focusing on the USA and its slow fall into Vanguardistism to the Kingdom of Great Britain doing its all to do the opposite. Many leftist critics and commentators have also criticised the film as a sort of monarchist propaganda what with the King of the KGB being a central character from season 3 to 9, when he would die due to Ifernal's attempted coup which failed and left the Kingdom to his 15 year old daughter.

A quote from Youtube channel Oversimplified. The video in question covered the assassination of Igor Smirnov, first president of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. Deemed too great a threat to the Moldovan nation, he was assassinated during a public speech in September 1993. His assassination would lead to the second Transnistria War, culminating in full recognition for Transnistria and annexation of Moldovan lands to the Transnistrians and Ukranians.

”What’s the worst thing that can happen to a Kennedy in Dallas, Texas? Look at how nice a day it is!”

 

[Walter Rodney Kinghorn]

”What’s the worst thing that can happen to a Kennedy in Dallas, Texas? Look at how nice a day it is!”

- The last words of Vice-President Stuart Symington before his assassination by Charles Starkweather on the 3rd July 1961. Starkweather was sentenced to death on the 17th August, having pled guilty to the crime. Starkweather acted alone and there was no ulterior motive asides clear mental disorder. Men from both sides of the isle, such as former President Harold Stassen (1949 - 1961) and Governor John Connolly of Texas paid their respects.

The murder led to Kennedy's endorsement of funding for institutionalisation for those with mentally disabilities and disorders, as well as a greater awareness of social alienation between Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation.

The Kennedy Administration was a turbulent time in US politics, with Symington's assassination leading to further radicalisation between Civil Rights and Segregationist groups. The Civil Rights Bill of 1963 was shut down by segregationists led by Robert F. Byrd and by Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson's desire to keep the two wings together. The conflict in the Philippines (occurring since 1949) as well as the Cyprus War drew US involvement, leading to massive anti-Greek sentiments (Kennedy supported Turkey instead of Greece) as well as antiwar protests.

The Republican Party drew President Stassen's Vice-President Thomas E. Dewey as the 1964 candidate. In exchange for not directly focussing on Civil Rights, the entirety of the segregationist cause in the US backed Kennedy and his running mate Lyndon Johnson against Dewey and Senator Richard Nixon. After Dewey's failure to attack Kennedy directly on Civil Rights and Nixon's debate bluster, Kennedy won the election despite thousands taking to the streets. The second term was filled with strife as the Philippines War claimed 20,000 US lives before submitting to the Huk regime, the Cyprus War was won with Greece severing ties with the US and Cyprus being integrated into Turkey, France was crippled by left-wing riots and China was on the verge of a second civil war due to its Cultural Revolution.

The Virginia Governor, George Lincoln Rockwell, announced his candidacy as an Independent alongside running mate Spiro Agnew. The Greek-American community, White Southerners, Eastern Europeans, Midwesterners, flyover country, union workers, farmers and New England rural areas came out strong for the victorious Rockwell/Agnew ticket despite its strong segregationist and anti-Semitic stance. The US would not be the same since.

"The queen is dead. Long live the queen!"

 

[Atterdag]

"The queen is dead. Long live the queen!"

Ceremonial phrase called out during Anglican execution-weddings, a ritual established during the reign of Henry VIII, in which the King is married to his new wife the very moment the sword falls upon his former Queen's neck, making her the new Queen. The tradition was carried out by Henry VIII and his two successors, known to history as "the heretic Kings", before England was returned to catholicism during the reign of King Philip. It is believed the brutality of the ritual was a significant part in decrediting both the Tudor dynasty and protestantism in England, as well as a reason for the Kingdom's diplomatic isolation in the later 16th century.

"Rule through fear and you shall be naught but the Prince of cowards."

"Rule through fear and you shall be naught but the Prince of cowards."

This was jointly said by the daughters of Henry VIII, queens Mary I and Elizabeth I, upon his deathbed. Both women had grown thoroughly sick of how their father treated them and banded together to eliminate what they perceived as the biggest threat in their lives.

"Having far better luck than her poor mother, Queen Mary I of England also had six pregnancies, but carried all of them to term despite her advanced age."
