Hello!
I don't know if it's alright to post something like this here but if not excuse my naivety
I have some question I want to hear opinions about, I not asking for hard political science just your opinion! heads up, my English is messy do it might be a hassle to read
1. How long could the 2nd French empire have lasted if not for the Franco-Prussian war? would the people eventually rise up? probably yes but could it have gone on into the 20th century?
2. In the US civil war, what will be the borders if the Confederacy held? from looking at a map it seems that the corridor between Virginia and the great lakes is very small in comparison to the HUGE plains to the west, would the union at least annex west Virginia?
could California have succeeded into its own thing if the union lost? if yes where will the border between California and the Union go? the Rockies? the Mississippi?
3. If the white army won the Russian civil war, and a tsardom under Kolchak was established, would there be any industrialization?
Under Stalin there were the five-year plans, who were perhaps the greatest and quickest industrialization policies in history, and I don't believe White Russia would be capable of this, but Kolchak was very militaristic and I suspect he would implement at least modest attempts at Tank manufacturing, not tens of thousands like the Soviets but still...
Thanks! this is mainly for fun, so don't be too restrictive!
