Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread
- Thread starter Beedok
- Start date
Thank you, however, at first glance, I wondered if the source indeed meant Oltenia, but it says "(to the west of the line connecting the south-eastern corner of Transylvania and Bucharest)" (Piahanau 14). So it seems that it stretches further east, covering almost all of Wallachia.
I forgot about that proposal, thank you for jogging my memory! And I thought they were to be merged to be ceded to Ukraine in the future. I should have read the actual treaty of Brest-Litovsk, but I have yet to get around to doing so. Thank you for clearing that up.
Also, beautiful map Chris S!

They really were willing to do anything to get Castro out of power, even if it meant murdering their own citizens. It makes me wonder what the actual response would be from the international community, and if a war would actually be successful.
Yeah, it's one of those topics where the forum rules can really get in the way of serious discussion.

There's a map with more of these proposals for new Indian states
Today, I learned that Tuscany planned to form a colony in OTL French Guiana:

The video does make a convincing case; it's easier to get a dozen nations to spend $500 Billion over 20 years than ~190 to agree to agree to emissions cuts sufficient to prevent a major sea level rise....

But, it will be the true final victory against the greatest enemy of the Netherlands...The Sea.

That's just what we want you to think. This is actually phase one of the Herovering ("reconquest"/"reconquista"). We will ultimately dam the entire North Atlantic. And then, with a land bridge that goes all the way to North America... we will finally take back what is rightfully ours. New York will be Nieuw Amsterdam again!
I fear when the New Netherland-descended fifth columnists rise up against us. ;_;
Two proposals for Europe by Leopold Kohr (explanations by Frank Jacobs):
As Kohr saw it, the problem with Europe’s geopolitical makeup was the fact that its states were not equal in size, allowing the ‘big ones’ to dominate the rest. Or at least try to, hence the endless series of wars in Europe. One way to solve this, would be to chop up the continent into rectangular chunks of territory, disregarding most existing cultural, religious, linguistic and natural boundaries.
"One last map by Leopold Kohr, also an addendum to his book ‘The Breakdown of Nations’ (1957). Kohr probably realised that dividing Europe into rectangular, US-style states would clash with the ‘tribal’ makeup of the Old Continent’s culturally diverse peoples. So he modified that idea to propose a European federation of ‘little states’: still too small to cause harm, but more in line with Europe’s ethnic composition."

And a 1992 map of Europe from Heineken CEO and chairman Freddy (Heineken) (explanation by Frank Jacobs):
Heineken’s proposal would lead to the creation of dozens of new European states, which would have a comparably small population size (mostly between 5 and 10 million), some basis in history, and for the most part would be ethnically homogenous.
The theory behind Heineken’s idea is that a larger number of smaller member-states would be easier to govern within a single European framework than a combination of larger states competing for dominance.

Three proposals for French regions, from "Découper la France en régions" by Arnaud Brennetot and Sophie de Ruffray, which has (aside from a giant table of over 70 different ones from 1851 to 2014) these three maps:
Black: "borders corresponding to then-current regional limits"
Red: "borders corresponding to then-current interdepartmental limits"
Blue: "borders not corresponding to the 'departmental network'"
Striped: autonomous regions
Découpage proposé par P. Vidal de la Blache (1910)
"Division proposed by Paul Vidal de la Blache (1910)"
Découpage régional proposé par M. Debré (1946)
"Regional division proposed by Michel Debré (1946)"
Découpage régional proposé par P. Fougeyrollas (1968)
"Regional division proposed by Pierre Fougeyrollas (1968)"
And a bonus one:
Les frontières régionales les plus fréquentes au sein des découpages proposés entre le milieu du XIXe siècle et 1960
"Regional borders occurring the most often within proposed divisions between the 19th century and 1960"
Black: "borders corresponding to then-current regional limits"
