Good luck trying to find other reliable sources on some of Fischer's claims
(I'm not exactly a fan of his...)Wait Germany also annexed Mongolia and East Siberia? I thought those would fall in the Japanese sphere of influence should Russia totally be destroyed.
Japan need not worry. After all Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia, thus their enemies are fighting a two-front war.
Interesting, Why are you not a fan of Fischer's work?Good luck trying to find other reliable sources on some of Fischer's claims
The 1915-1917 discussions regarding splitting up China between Japan and Russia in exchange for a separate peace begins on page 228 and ends on page 236.
The discussions regarding German Asian colonies and a German-Japanese rapprochement/ possible alliance is on 590 and 607-608.

Mark Anthony wanted to give the provinces he was in charge of during the Second Triumvirate to Egypt. This was part of a Roman strategy of using Cleopatra's Seleucid ancestry to justify their rule in the eastern Mediterranean. Anthony sent a request to the Roman senate to approve of his move. It was rejected. Octavian later invaded because he didn't want Cleopatra's son Caesarion to threaten his position as Caesar's heir.
Kind of reminds of Darius' proposal to Alexander in that they would both form the Byzantine Empire early. I guess this area was just destined to be ruled by a Greek state.

Iraq And Syria: Past, Present, And (Hypothetical) Future Maps
The continuing violence in Syria and Iraq has prompted some experts to wonder whether the region's borders might at some point be redrawn. That scenario remains, for now, a remote possibility. But what if?

Oh, he gathered a lot of evidence, but what some generals wanted, or some group of industrialists or some kolonial gesellschaft wanted, or what the Kaiser may have wanted extrapolated from his sometimes-inane bloviations, wouldn't necessarily have translated into official policy. If some of them did manage to become demands at the negotiating table, they'd doubtless be written back a bit by the time the ink's dry on the Treaty
Other that that, I simply think he draws the wrong conclusions from his sometimes-anecdotal sources.
The maps are great, though
Ah, understandable. My maps were simply outlining ALL the aims and proposals made by various people, obviously Siberia detaching from Russia, breaking France into separate states and seizing their empire, and dismantling the British Empire is completely ASB, it was more for fun and because I'm obsessed with the topic. Thank you for the compliment btw 😊Oh, he gathered a lot of evidence, but what some generals wanted, or some group of industrialists or some kolonial gesellschaft wanted, or what the Kaiser may have wanted extrapolated from his sometimes-inane bloviations, wouldn't necessarily have translated into official policy.

The basic ideas seams fine, but what about the Druze state, why is the Alewite one so big, what about the other Syrian minorities (escpecially large Kurdish region in the north and other minorities liek Levantines, Ismailis and other). I assume their states would be to small to exist on their own or so?A proposed division of Syria and Iraq into four states:

Looks whoever wrote this article didn't do any research on where the Alawites actually are beyond "they're in the west"A proposed division of Syria and Iraq into four states:

Or more accurately positions of cities and religious/ethnic subdivisions.
This, for a lack of a better word, unbelievable map from WW1-era Russian Empire. It comes with a helpful blurb which I have actually translated.
THE MAP OF FUTURE EUROPE
(the way WILHELM "THE TSAR OF EUROPE" never thought to see it)
(the way WILHELM "THE TSAR OF EUROPE" never thought to see it)
RUSSIA — the great and autocratic, it fights for the restoration of right, justice, peace and law on Earth — it does not need other people's own, it does not need other countries' land; it shall only take what it once owned — Red Ruthenia with Lvov and Peremyshl (TN: Przemyśl in present-day Poland) and part of Bukovina with Chernovitsy (TN: Chernivtsi in present-day Ukraine). East Prussia with Königsberg on the Vistula, not once painted crimson with Russian blood, shall again be Russian soil. Danzig and Thorn (TN: now known as Toruń) shall be made Russian fortresses.
Within Russia, under its mighty scepter, free in its self-governance Poland shall reunite its provinces previously stripped away by the scheming of Germany and Austria.
ENGLAND — Its existing colonies publicly solemnly recognized that the just England has become like a mother to them — it will get all colonies of Germany, will ensure the rule of law and justice for them and become a mother to them as well.
FRANCE — will get the territory between rivers Moselle and Rhine with the fortress Koblenz. The black mourning crepe shall fall from the Strasbourg statue (TN: the one on Place de la Concorde in Paris), and once again Alsace and Lorraine shall be free France.
BELGIUM — the first one with its insane bravery to show Germany that the strength is not in cannons, but in spirit; poor, devastated Belgium, does it not deserve to be a great power? It shall gain the Rhine Province, and the right to take the finest artworks from Berlin museums to Brussels.
SERBIA — shall be a big power too; it deserved that by paying with its Belgrade. Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia and Croatia shall be ceded to it; so that muzzles of Austrian cannons would not look at Belgrade, it shall also gain Semlin (TN: referring to Zemun, now, ironically, a part of Belgrade).
DENMARK — shall get Schleswig and Holstein to the Kiel Canal.
HOLLAND shall get Essen, where Krupp's factories used to be, since the capital of War shall bow down to Hague, the capital of peace.
ITALY — shall get Southern Tirol and Istria with Triest.
SWITZERLAND — a peaceful land of resorts shall get Tirol with its resorts, so that Russian could spend their vacations not in Austria.
ROMANIA will gain part of Bukovina and Transylvania, only because Bukovina used to be Romania.
CZECHIA with Prague and Hungary with Budapest shall each become separate states in the borders of their peoples, with governing chosen by the people.
ALBANIA, having lost any possibility of a separate state, shall get divided between Montenegro, Serbia and Italy.
TURKEY shall keep its belongings as long as it will not go insane and will not send "troops to the bottom of the Black Sea", as said by Mr. Mikhaylovskiy in Russkoe Slovo.
Germany and Austria shall get everything left from other states.
And all the nations of Europe shall live in peace and prosperity, not seeing the terrifying ghost of Wilhelm the Mad and his armored fist.
