Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

[Herucalmo]

"If Lindsay Stoker, Bernhard Krauszer, Lancelot Susan, and Larionov Lavro Antonovich were found locked in a room with a gun that only had three rounds, the uneducated person would shoot Stoker three times; while the educated person would shoot Krauser, Susan, and Antonovich each once, and then beat Stoker to death with the rifle butt."

This leaves Draka in a bad position, Italy and Germany can restart their war with Draka if America comes with full force in Europe, like Finland in the Continuation War.

Great update but can we have a map of the world

Indeed.

Thirded. I was disappointed at first to see them agree to a cease fire, but taking a wait and see approach, while quietly preparing to take advantage should the opportunity present itself is the smarter option.

Drakia hasnt come of this war unscated, if the US and Japan agree to a cease fire then they could suffer a serious defeat. Let's hope that the dice is benevolent to the world this time.

The main goal of India was to kick the Draka out of Middle East (which is why they had wanted to expand west).

So, if there's an Alliance/Asian ceasefire, Indians might invade Drakan Middle East territories through Persia. After all, India is in good shape (its home territory mostly untouched by the war), and its military and industry are fully mobilised...

Hard times calls for hard men to make hard choices, while hard.

Can't wait for the US to add its rightful states of England, Wales, and Scotland to the fold.

I kid; but really, it does seem that Drakia is gonna walk out of this cluster fuck with quite a few less allies than before. We can only hope that the Americans pull it off. Methinks if it goes the other way we'll be seeing an Irish Holocaust, but those don't seem to be very uncommon in this TL.

The Draka may see their sphere of influence and territory reduced to Africa proper, as well as lose their navy and put under worldwide embargo.

Finally the war in Europe is over. Well, this one at least. I hope that America gives Drakia a good ol' thrashing this time! I want off Mr Stoker's Wild Ride!

Sadly, I think Drakia will still be standing when this conflict is over, if very bloodied.

 

[Spartacus1224]

Klein remains a character as well, which I’m happy about.

 

[ClockworkDawn]

I think we should take into account the possibility of Drakia pulling off the win here. There's not gonna be Drakians marching down Pennsylvania Avenue, but I could see them fighting the Americans to a draw, maybe losing ground in Europe and the Near East.

The Americans, after all, are currently in a struggle with another Great Power bloc, in the Pacific. If the Americans want to commit to a war with Drakia, they're going to have to call a peace with Japan and pivot to the Atlantic. Otherwise, it's gonna be a war of just smacking the Drakians around at sea, limited offensives besides. The Irish Sea is gonna be an absolute fluster cluck.

 

[traveller76]

The Drakians may have a win and I see them being a major power in the world. Especially in parts of Europe and the middle east. They can still funnel arms and money to various groups.

Time for the US to write the wrongs that Perdue created

Why? That would make for a bad story. We need Draka to win and then we can proceed to the War to End All the World when the US and Draka finally fight with super weapons in their third war.

This timeline has focused on realism and plausibility. I hope that we don't see that abandoned in order to force a specific vision of the final war.

The final war is mostly realistic, is basically OTL's Cold War going hot.

Much more realistic than the Boers and British Colonists conquering all of Africa, and yet here we are with this wonderful TL.
