But they were not trying to keep down an entire continent, they had even be forced to retreat from Turkey and Russia and were basically paralizated and shocked for 20 years after the end of the war, always on the brink.
No, they were just trying to keep down their
massive colonial empire.
That happend at cause of the war
If you mean "because of the war", since what you wrote makes no sense in English, then the timing is still relevant. Russia had its revolution
during the war while you propose Germany to have this situation
after the war.
Like the new nation out of B-L? Or whatever will become of the A-H empire?
Shifting goalposts. You are trying to prove that the uprisings will happen in
Germany itself. And besides, with Mitteleuropa there is no vacuum of power in Central-Eastern Europe.
No just decline, paralysis, some piece getting out, loss of credibility of the current system that allowed idea like fascist and communism to be seen as viable...and this in the most modern, stable and democratic nation of the planet...much much less touched by the war than Germany
But no massive fascist or socialist rebellions, or civil war or the fall of the ruling system, all the while they were holding on to the
biggest empire in human history.
And Germany supposedly can`t handle holding on to some of Eastern Europe?
Blockade are much much more cheaper
Not being at war and continuing on with trade is cheaper still. By several orders of magnitude.
I say that Germany late war victory mean overextending herself and yes, this mean collapse under it's own weight...
So you always claim, and yet are never able to prove.
and regarding people not claiming that, please reread the various post.
Whose posts?
Strip east europe of iron, coal and industry? Force harsh term on France through occupation and forced change of a political system that German like? That's are not simple, quick or cheap things to do.
Again, whose posts?
Sure, Germany was on a worse situation than Russia, because for all her destruction the URSS was united politically and totally behind...or better under one leader, hell the Great Patriottic War was an enourmous nation building effort.
Are you trying to make me laugh? Germany would be worse off than Russia after WWII? Do you even comprehend the damage it suffered during the war? A nation that, by the (oft-disputed) official numbers lost over 10% of its population?
Seriously?
Fuck, if Germany was as disunited as you claim, it would have fallen apart after the
defeat it suffered IOTL.
Here? Germany had serious internal political problem, the current political system had lost a lot of credibility
So, like France and the UK... still didn`t fall under their own weight.
and people smell weakness and it's better remember that the URSS faced revolt and guerrilla warfare for a decade after the war in the entire east europe.
Nothing on the scale you claim Germany will face.
Sure they have failed, but at least the various communist nation had an ideological feag leaf to justify themselfs, much of the post B-L leaderships not.
Sure they will - money. Unlike the USSR, Germany won`t have to forcibly annihilate the upper classes of Central-Eastern Europe to replace them with "comrades".
Regarding east europeans not being an hive mind, you are right...but when you take the food from one place (Poland and Ukraine) to feed your own people...the former owner of the food start to rebels due to strange desire to not want die to famine; the following economic exploatation will surely not make any friend there, except the german appointed leaderships.
So you`re imagining that German rule of Central-Eastern Europe will be exactly like the Nazi rule of the Ukraine?
Why would Germany need to confiscate food in the East if they`re trading for it on the global market? Explain that to me.
Finally soviet rule lasted even because they had the capacity to annihilate all life on this mudball...so the rest of the world really don't messed to much in their backyard
I don`t recall the USSR nuking Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring.
