There will be no used of atomic bomb itl, but is it good or bad? I read alot and some say “because of the true scale of destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that make USSR and USA hesitated to use nukes to retaliate”, but many also say that “the two superpowers already know the destruction of nuclear weapons and with no atomic bombs dropped in Japan, the Cold War still continues like otl”. And in otl with the knowledge of nuclear weapons, we were saved alot of time by luck.

And in this timeline I’m kind of scared the post war, cold war, you know Imp Japan although change alot but they also the only one have no hesitation in WMD like chemical warfare and gas in actual combat. And in the future they will have nuke. Otl if not for Emperor wanted to surrender the military will continue to fight to the last one, cough “Cherry Blossoms at Night just for the last middle finger to the America” cough.

Very true that's why TTL is and remains a dystopia after all. A few dark chapters will come and not all of the world will be better of TTL then OTL (quit the opposite actually, in comparison OTL will look quit nice and sane - but it will not get as mad as WMIT). :evilsmile:

The fascinating things I love the most in ttl are, culture and trade. Ttl culture will not globalized Americanized, but almost every nations have their own culture although try to distance themselves From Japan or Germany, but also heavy influence by them.

If colonial countries can trade to European, it means European products can be found in Chinas (plural too many China) and Japan. And the opposite, Japan and other Asia countries products can be found in Europe’s markets. I know tax and other diplomatic things but nothing stop two power from trading, it’s kind of free trade has shined in old world for me. For new world.... South America are turning to monarchy, so Freedom through Monarchy!

Yeah major changes compared to OTL, but with cheap C-PS workforce and products at the start we might see some trade regulations and opposition to Asian products at the start as well as a Japanese trade isolationism, as all trade going to the C-PS has to be regulated and controlled by Japan first before it is allowed, so it's quit a long road to free trade, maybe even more so then OTL. ;D

Chapter 735: Imperial Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (香港日據時期)
Chapter 735: Imperial Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (香港日據時期)
Jap_festival_hk.jpg

Once Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese after the Battle of Hong Kong in 1941, it had been officially been given back to Taikoku, while at the same time ruled by martial law as a occupation territory of the Co-Prosperity Sphere under General Rensuke Isogai, administered from their military headquarters at the Peninsula Hote lin Kowloon. The military government; comprising administrative, civilian affairs, economic, judicial, and naval departments; enacted stringent regulations and, through executive bureaus, exercised power over all residents of Hong Kong. They also set up the puppet council of Taokoku Chinese consisting of local leading Chinese community leaders. In addition to Governor Mark Young, 7,000 British soldiers and civilians were kept in prisoner-of-war or internment camps, such as Sham Shui Po Prisoner Camp and Stanley Internment Camp. Famine, malnourishment and sickness were pervasive. Severe cases of malnutrition among inmates occurred in the Stanley Internment Camp at the End of the Second Great War. Moreover, the Imperial Japanese military government blockaded Victoria Harbour and controlled warehouses. Early in January 1942, former members of the Hong Kong Police including Indians and Chinese were recruited into a reformed police called the Kempeitai with new uniforms. The police routinely performed executions at King's Park in Kowloon by using rioters, or prisoner-of-war for beheading and shooting squads. The Imperial Japanese gendarmerie took over all police stations and organized the Police in five divisions, namely East Hong Kong, West Hong Kong, Kowloon, New Territories and Water Police. This force was headed by Colonel Noma Kennosuke. The headquarters was situated in the former Supreme Court Building. Police in Hong Kong were under the organization and control of the Taikoku government and the Imperial Japanese government. Imperial Japanese experts and administrators were chiefly employed in the Governor's Office and its various bureaus.

All trade and economic activities were strictly regulated by Japanese authorities, who took control of the majority of the factories. Having deprived vendors and banks of their possessions, the occupying forces outlawed the Hong Kong Dollar and replaced it with the Taikokuo Empire Yen and the Japanese Military Yen. The exchange rate was fixed at 2 Hong Kong dollars to one military yen in January 1942. Later, the yen was re-valued at 4 Hong Kong dollars to a yen in July 1942, which meant local people could exchange fewer military notes than before. While the residents of Hong Kong were impoverished by the inequitable and forcibly imposed exchange rate, the Imperial Japanese government sold the Hong Kong Dollar to help finance their war-time economy. In June 1943, the yen was made the sole legal tender. Prices of commodities for sale had to be marked in yen. Inflation then disrupted the economy, inflicting hardship upon the residents of the colony. Devaluation of the Imperial Japanese Military Yen until the end of the war made it a problematic economic situation until it became a hard currency again in 1944 till the beginning of the 1950ies. Public transportation and utilities unavoidably often failed, owing to the shortage of fuel and the aerial bombardment of Hong Kong by the Americans. Tens of thousands of people became homeless and helpless, and many of them were employed in shipbuilding and construction. In the agricultural field, the Imperial Japanese took over the race track at Fanling and the air strip at Kam Tin for their rice-growing experiments. With the intention of boosting the Imperial Japanese influence on Hong Kong, two Imperial Japanese banks, the Yokohama Specie Bank and the Bank of Taiwan, were re-opened. These two banks replaced the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) and two other British banks responsible for issuing the banknotes. They then liquidated various Allied banks and reopened a few Taikoku Banks as well. British, American and Dutch bankers were forced to live in a small hotel, while some bankers who were viewed as enemies of the Imperial Japanese were executed. In May 1942, Imperial Japanese and Imperial Taikoku companies were encouraged to be set up. A Hong Kong trade syndicate consisting of Imperial Japanese firms was set up in October 1942 to manipulate overseas trade.

The Japanese modified the territory’s infrastructure and landscape significantly in order to serve their wartime interests. In order to expand the Kai Tak Airport, for example, the Japanese demolished the Sung Wong Toi Monument in Kowloon. Buildings of prestigious secondary schools such as Wah Yan College Hong Kong, which is one of the two Jesuit schools in Hong Kong, Diocesan Boys' School, the Central British School, the St. Paul's Girls' College of the Anglican church and de La Salle brothers' La Salle College were commandeered by occupying forces as military hospitals and reopened as Taikoku and Japanese schools after the war, besides newly build ones. Life was hard for people under Japanese rule. As there was inadequate food supply, the Japanese rationed necessities such as rice, oil, flour, salt and sugar. Each family was given a rationing licence, and every person could only buy 6.4 taels (240 g or 8.5 oz), of rice per day. Most people did not have enough food to eat, and many died of starvation. Because of this the rationing system was abolished at the End of the Second Great War in 1944. Some Japanese soldiers tortured, raped, or mutilated local civilians, mainly European prisoners of war, but also around 2,000 Hong Kong citizens. During the occupation, hospitals available to the masses were limited. The Kowloon Hospital and Queen Mary Hospital were occupied by the Japanese army. Despite the lack of medicine and funds, the Tung Wah and Kwong Wah Hospital continued their social services but to a limited scale. These included provision of food, medicine, clothing, and burial services. Although funds were provided, they still had great financial difficulties. Failure to collect rents and the high reparation costs forced them to promote fundraising activities like musical performances and dramas. Tung Wah hospital and the charitable organisation Po Leung Kuk continued to provide charity relief, while substantial donations were given by members of the Chinese elite. Po Leung Kuk also took in orphans, but were faced with financial problems during the occupation, as their bank deposits could not be withdrawn under Japanese control. Their services could only be continued through donations by Aw Boon Haw, a long-term financier of Po Leung Kuk. Other orphans were put into the new Coprospist schools and educated in Japanese, filled with Coprospist propaganda.

There were very few public hospitals during the Japanese occupation as many of them were forcibly converted to military hospitals. Despite the inadequate supply of resources, Tung Wah Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital still continuously offered limited social services to needy people. In June 1943 the management of water, gas and electricity was transferred into private Japanese hands. Through schooling, mass media and other means of propaganda, the Japanese tried to foster favorable view among residents of the occupation. This process of Japanisation prevailed in many aspects of daily life. It was the Japanese conviction that education was key to securing their influence over the populace. The Japanese language became a mandatory subject in schools, and students who performed poorly in Japanese exams risked corporal punishment. At the same time English was forbidden from being taught and was not tolerated outside the classroom. Additional private Japanese language schools were established to promote oral Cantonese (Taikoku) and Japanese. To make teaching Cantonese / Taokoku possible Coprospist Chinese invented a new system and set pattern in Cantonese grammar; and changed the pronunciation as the occasion demands, still it was easier for Cantonese people to learn Japanese than Japanese people to learn Cantonese. The Military Administration ran the Teachers' Training Course, and those teachers who failed a Japanese bench-mark test would need to take a three-month training course. The Japanese authorities tried to introduce Japanese traditions and customs to Hong Kong students through the Japanese lessons at school. Famous historical stories such as Mōri Motonari's "Sanbon no ya (Three Arrows)" and Xufu’s (徐福) voyage to Japan were introduced in Japanese language textbooks. The primary aim of the Japanisation of the education system was to facilitate Co-Prosperity Sphere control over the territory’s populace in furtherance of the establishment of their Co-Prosperity Sphere in Asia.

(imprisoned Europeans)

The Japanese promoted the use of Cantonese/ Taikoku as the lingua franca of Taikoku and and Japanese as a overall Co-Prosperity Sphere lingua franca between the locals and the Japanese business man, politicians and military forces. English shop signs and advertisements were banned like European and American ones were everywhere in the Co-Prosperity Sphere and in April 1942, streets and buildings in Central were renamed in Japanese. For example, Queen's Road became Meiji-dori and Des Voeux Road became Shōwa-dori. Similarly, the Gloucester Hotel became the Matsubara. The Peninsula Hotel, the Matsumoto; Lane Crawford, Matsuzakaya. The Queen's Theatre was first the Nakajima-dori. Their propaganda also pointed to the pre-eminence of the Japanese way of life, of Japanese Coprospist spiritual values and the ills of western materialism. The Government House, the residence of English governors prior to occupation, was the seat of power for the Japanese military governors. To obviously European, American and non Asian inspired buildings and architecture were not only renamed, but given a fully new more Asian front. During the occupation, many buildings were largely reconstructed between 1942 and 1944 following designs by Japanese engineer Siechi Fujimura, including the addition of a Japanese-style tower. Nearly all Georgian and other non-Asian architectural features were removed during this period. Often the roofs also were changed to reflect a more Japanese influence. This was something done all over the Co-Prosperity Sphere in a attempt of Asianization. The commemoration of Japanese festivals, state occasions, victories and anniversaries also strengthened the Japanese influence over Hong Kong. For instance, there was Yasukuri or Shrine Festival honouring the dead. There was also a Japanese Empire Day on 11 February 1943 centred around the worship of the Emperor Jimmu. Former newspapers, like the Hong Kong News and the South China Morning Post pre-Japanese areaowned English newspaper, was revived in January 1942 during the Japanese occupation. The editor, E.G. Ogura, was Japanese and the staff members were mainly Chinese and Portuguese and under the name The Rising Sun News, the new newspaper became the mouthpiece of the Japanese propaganda. Ten local Chinese newspapers had been reduced to five Taokoku ones in May. These newspapers were under press censorship. Radio sets were used for Japanese propaganda. Amusements still existed, though only for those who could afford them. The cinemas only screened Japanese films, such as The Battle of Hong Kong, the only film made in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation. It was directed by Shigeo Tanaka (田中重雄 Tanaka Shigeo) and produced by the Dai Nippon Film Company, the film featured an all-Japanese cast but a few Hong Kong film personalities were also involved. This film appeared on the first anniversary of the attack.

In December 1941, a group of Japanese soldiers killed ten Red Cross stretcher bearers at Wong Nai Chung Gap despite the fact that the stretcher bearers all wore the red cross armband. These soldiers captured a further five medics who were tied to a tree, two of whom were taken away by the soldiers, never to be seen again. The remaining three attempted to escape during the night, but only one survived the escape. A team of amateur archaeologists found the remains of half of a badge. Evidence pointed to its belonging to Barclay, the captain of the Royal Army Medical Corps, therefore the archaeologists presented it to Barclay's son, Jim, who had never met his father before his death. Other notable massacres also include the St. Stephen's College massacre, and a mass murder at Mui Wo called the Silver Mine Bay massacre (銀礦灣大屠殺) by some locals. Part of this lead to the rise of anti-Japanese, anti-Taikoku/ Cantonese and anti-Coprospist resistance. One of these groups was the East River Column, originally formed by Zeng Sheng (曾生) in Guangdong during the Guangxi Civil War, this group mainly comprised peasants, students, and seamen, including Yuan Geng. When the war reached Hong Kong in 1941, the guerrilla force grew from 200 to more than 6,000 soldiers. In January 1942, the Guangdong people's anti-Japanese East River guerrillas (廣東人民抗日游擊隊東江縱隊) was established to reinforce anti-Japanese and anti-Taikoku forces in Dongjiang and Zhujiang Pearl River deltas. The guerillas' most significant contribution to the Allies, in particular, was their rescue of twenty American pilots who parachuted into Kowloon when their planes were shot down by the Japanese. In the wake of the British retreat, the guerillas picked up abandoned weapons and established bases in the New Territories and Kowloon. Applying the tactics of guerrilla warfare, they killed in their eyes Chinese traitors and collaborators working for Taikoku's Coprospist Govenment and the Co-Prosperity Sphere. They protected traders in Kowloon and Guangzhou, attacked the police station at Tai Po, and bombed Kai Tak Airport. During the Japanese occupation the only fortified resistance was mounted by the East River guerillas.

Another resistance group was the HK-Kowloon brigade (港九大隊) established in January 1942 from the Guangdong People's anti-Japanese guerilla force. In February 1942 with local residents Choi Kwok-Leung (蔡國梁) as commander and Chan Tat-Ming (陳達明) as political commissar, they were armed with 30 machine guns and several hundred rifles left by defeated British forces. They numbered about 400 between 1942 and 1944 and operated in Sai Kung. Additionally, the guerillas were noteworthy in rescuing prisoners-of-war, notably Sir Lindsay Ride, Sir Douglas Clague, Professor Gordan King, and David Bosanquet. In December 1943 the Guangdong force reformed, with the East River guerrillas absorbing the HK-Kowloon brigade into the larger unit. Americans and Europeans, weather civilians, former prisoners-of-war or soldiers found in such insurrection and guerrilla forces were shot without trial when captured. Another resistance group, he British Army Aid Group was formed in 1942 at the suggestion of Colonel Lindsay Ride. The group rescued allied POWs including airmen shot down and workers trapped in occupied HK. It also developed a role in intelligence gathering. In the process, the Group provided protection to the Dongjiang River which was a source for domestic water in Hong Kong. This was the first organization in which Britons, Chinese and other nationalities served with no racial divide. Francis Lee Yiu-pui and Paul Tsui Ka-cheung were commissioned as officers. Besides that Air raids on Hong Kong as a important Taikoku and Japanese harboru were flown by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) units based in China from October 1942 until the American end of their participation in the Second Great War in 1944. Most of these raids involved a small number of aircraft, and typically targeted Japanese cargo ships which had been reported by Chinese guerrillas. Until then the city was being regularly raided by the USAAF. The largest raid on Hong Kong took place on 16 Mai 1944 when, as part of the South China raid and the South China Sea raid, when around 800 United States Navy and Royal Air Force aircraft attacked shipping, harbor facilities and other targets of the Co-Prosperity Sphere in South-East Asia.

The Japanese capture of Hong Kong from the British would be celebrated as Liberation Day by the Cantonese/ Taikoku nation state, government and citizens after the Second Great War, a tradition that the Japanese and Taikoku had started in 1942 and was a public holiday in Hong Kong. At the same time the day celebrated the Japanese General Takashi Sakai, who led the invasion and liberation of Hong Kong and subsequently served as governor-general during the Japanese occupation until the End of the Second Great War. During the Second Great War direct Cantonese/ Taikoku control over the sovereignty and territory of Hong Kong was assumed by the Taikoku government, even if important strategic parts remained in Japanese hands until the End of the Second Great War in 1944. Still Japanese Zaibatsu and Military remained in control of many important industries and facilities as well as overall trade in Hong Kong (Honkon in Japanese) would remain as a part of the Pearl of Strings, the harbor cities allowing for international trade in the former Chinese Empire/ Chinese Republic that were all mainly controlled by the Japanese from Shanghai. Harsh rations, food shortages and deportations had led to a shrinking of Hong Kong/ Honkon from 1,500,000 citizens to 800,000 by the End of the Second Great War in 1944. One of the main problems after the Second Great War remained the reconstruction of the city from Allied air raids and the securing of convoy and transport routes, as the surrounded waters had been heavily mined by the Allies.

The Sheikh of Bahrein declared war on Germany in 1940, but the by then the State of Bahrain already had a turbulent time behind it. Unrest among the people of Bahrain began when Britain officially established complete dominance over the territory in 1892. The first revolt and widespread uprising took place in March 1895 against Sheikh Issa bin Ali, then ruler of Bahrain. Sheikh Issa was the first of the Al Khalifa to rule without Iranian relations. Sir Arnold Wilson, Britain's representative in the Persian Gulf and author of The Persian Gulf, arrived in Bahrain from Mascat at this time. The uprising developed further with some protesters killed by British forces. Bahrain underwent a period of major social reform between 1926 and 1957, under the de facto rule of Charles Belgrave, the British advisor to Shaikh Hamad ibn Isa Al-Khalifa (1872-1942). The country's first modern school was established in 1919, with the opening of the Al-Hiddaya Boys School, while the Persian Gulf's first girls school opened in 1928. The American Mission Hospital, established by the Dutch Reform Church, began work in 1903. Other reforms include the abolition of slavery, while the pearl diving industry developed at a rapid pace. These reforms were often vigorously opposed by powerful groups within Bahrain including sections within the ruling family and merchants. In order to counter conservatives, the British removed the Ruler, Isa ibn Ali Al Khalifa in 1923 and replaced him with his son. Some Sunni families left Bahrain to mainland Arabia, whilst clerical opponents of social reforms were exiled to Saudi Arabia and Iran. The heads of some merchant and notable families were likewise exiled. Britain's interest in Bahrain's development was motivated by concerns over the ambitions of the Saudi-Wahabi and the Iranians.

The discovery of oil in 1932 by Bahrain Petroleum Company brought rapid modernization to Bahrain. Relations with the United Kingdom became closer, as evidenced by the British Royal Navy moving its entire Middle Eastern command from Bushehr in Iran to Bahrain in 1935. British influence continued to grow as the country developed, culminating with the appointment of Charles Belgrave as advisor. He went on to establish a modern education system in Bahrain. Bahrain participated in the Second Great War on the Allied side, joining after War in Europe had started 1940 against the Axis Central Powers. As a result of this Italian, as well as later Royal French and German bombers raided Bahrain to destroy allied oil facilities and refineries that supplied the Allies, alongside similar raids against Saudi Arabia, as well Iraq further north. While the raid done by Axis Central Power bombers caused only minimal damage on the oil refineries themselves, it made the Allies increase the defense around Bahrain, that was also a United Kingdom Protectorate. This new defenses however further stretched the Allied military resources and supply lines. However the Axis Central Powers were not the only danger, as Imperial Japanese and Co-Prosperity Sphere had made operations against India, Madagascar and East Africa, so the treat of a Japanese raid and maybe even invasion to the Arabian Peninsula, including Bahrain seamed quit real at the time. However the increasing Allied forces presence led to a anti-British, anti-American sentiment that soon spread throughout Bahrain and other parts of the Arab World and led to riots in Bahrain itself in 1943 to 1944. The riots focused on the Jewish community, which included distinguished writers, singers, accountants, engineers and middle managers working for the oil company, textile merchants with business all over the peninsula, and free professionals. This was mainly because the Europeans who the main Arab anger was targeted against had stationed many forces in Bahrain, making the locals fear that hurting or killing Americans and Europeans would end in retaliation by this forces. Therefore anti-European and anti-American only started in bigger numbers after 1944 when the Turkish Ottoman direct rule and influence grew over the Arabian Peninsula and even then they often mostly excluded Axis Central Power American and European nationalities and citizens.
 
What is the exact POD in this thread

Around 1934-ish, Japan decides to practice Pan-Asianism a little more faithfully than OTL allowing it to be more successful in the Chinese Civil War and WW2, I believe a coup attempt by Militarists in OTL was unsuccessful too but I can't remember. Also a Military Coup in Germany in 1938 ousts Nazi Control and an Austro-Hungarian restoration as well.

All true there including the small military coup in Japan and the major one in Germany.
 
It’s shame that some of the European architects will be gone in ttl. If it comes to architecture, I’m a Frankoboid. I’m in love with French buildings during the colonies period. With the hate and the nationalist of the Vietnamese, most of that buildings will be demolished. And with that the Latin writing system will be discouraged as well, well we Vietnamese will go back to the Chinese/Han writing system. Poor me in this universe who has to learn all of those symbols.

Yeah most of them will be gone architecture and language wise by the End of TTL for sure I know it's sad I like some of this architectural colonial styles as well. ^^

Chapter 737: Wang Jingwei's Three All's: Feed All, House All, Help All inside the Thee Principles of the People

The government of Wang Jingwei in Nanjing ruled by the principles of Minzú (Nationalism/ Populism) but in it's form of other four major ethnic groups (Mongols, Tibetans, Manchu and Hui (Mohammedans) beside the Han Chinese, that the Imperial National Han Chinese Nation State was formed for. Here clearly Wang Jingwei's principles of Pan-Asianism, Anti-Communist and Anti-Western influence as a Coprospist Nation State inside the Co-Prosperity Sphere could be observed. Following the principle of Mínquán, meaning People's Power/ People's government (but not in the direct form of western democracy) Wang's government did it's best to strengthen the new civil society and it's self rule and self government in local farms, towns and cities before growing this idea to a provincial level and the state as a whole. This was meant to prevent a new split up into further nationalism, factionalism, separatist and warlord-ism after or during elections like in the Chinese Republic before, but also meant to counter the influence and promises of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese United Front as his ideological enemies supported by the Comintern Soviet Union or the Western Powers. Wang meanwhile relayed on his Japanese brothers, even if his direct government control at first did not reach outside of the major cities and controlled railway lines were his own or Co-Prosperity Sphere forces held control. Realizing that for a secure and modern state he had to secure the massive majority of Chinese peasants, alongside the landowners and industrialist factory owners that the Communist opposed and fought against, Wang implemented a series of land reforms and allowed for local farmers, miners and peasants to benefit more directly from their work, by having a small percentage of the profits getting atop of their loans when harvest and production quotes were high and of good quality. The use of local militia to protect themselves also helped reduce the overall army sizes unlike in the warlord area and this in return allowed for smaller taxation to finance this military. A additional smaller and less corrupt government allowed for further savings controlled by the Control Yuan that fought crime and corruption as well as Communist and United Front influence, while new factories allowed for jobs and produced new goods alongside modern military equipment for his new forces that even surpassed Chiang's in quality after 1942. The use of local peasants to increase the infrastructure in a area that then helped the locals too with better trade, commerce and transportation (while also helping with National Han Chiense troop movements) was received positively throughout National Han China.

Former warlords as and alongside new provisional governors rotated more to prevent anyone of them to form a new Clique and power base in a certain area. At the same time they were allowed to collect their own taxes within a certain amount and even build up local guards and militia to defend themselves, sometimes made up by former warlord soldiers, defectors from Chiang's Kuomintang or even criminals, but this process was regulated and closely watched from Nanjing to ensure no local power bases for future cliques and warlords were able to form and to prevent the United Front and Communists to infiltrate said positions with help from the Japanese Kenpeitai. Most taxes for the first time were based on a fair standard (for the first time in Chinese history), by looking on last years economic profit from a area and calculated the new taxes based on that. At the same time new civil factories and businesses were implemented and financially supported by the government to make towns and cities as self sufficient on basic goods as possible. At the same time the Imperial National Han Chinese education system established new schools to create a educated new modern labor force for the factories, mines, modern industrial areas and hospitals they were building. Many of these schools however also promoted Japanese as the lingua franca of the Co-Prosperity Sphere and Zhuyin, a new Mandarin/ Han Chinese sullaby and writing system (also known as Bopomofo) modeleld after the Japanese Hiragana to improve the former Zhuyin Zimu system to unify pronunciation and phonetic symbols for Han Chinese/ Mandarin. They also thought Japanese culture, art and other values, as well as promoted a top-down administration and policies for now with local autonomy/ autocracy in a attempt to make it much easier for the Japanese to further split and divide this Co-Prosperity Sphere nation states should the need arise. Special classes in Japanese culture, dresses, temple rituals and overall traditions and value were also given to increase the Japanese ideals alongside State Shintoism/ State Buddhism and religious groups and sects inspired by them. In the End Wang Jingwei's Three All's: Feed All, House All, Help All greatly improved his government and made it legitimate in the eyes of many of it's citizens until the End of the 1940ies, even after his death in 1944 and to many Han Chinese, Wang Jingwei was not only a national hero, but the Greatest (Han) Chinese that ever lived.

Chapter 738: The United Baltic Duchy in the Eastern Crusade
Guido_Maydell_Balti_Landeswehris_Guido_Maydell_in_the_Baltic_Landeswehr.jpg

In the United Baltic Duchy the Estonian forces numbered 60,000 but quickly rose to over 120,000 as the Germans and the Teutonic Order began building military bases in Estonia. Over 70,000 Estonian volunteers joined the United Baltich Duchy Army or the Teutonic Order, meaning that around 10% of the Estonian population of 1,126,000 (88,2% of them ethnic Estonians, while 6,2% of the population was deported east because they were ethnic Russians) joined the military during the Second Great War. In nearby Latvia 180,000 joined the United Baltic Duchy and Teutonic Order forces, out of a total Latvian population of 1,950,000 (75% of them ethnic Latvians, while 10,3% of the population was deported east because they were ethnic Russians). And in Lithuania around 200,000 soldiers out of 2,098,000 (80,18% of them ethnic Lithuanians, while 2,14% of the population was deported east because they were ethnic Russians) joined the United Baltic Duchy Army and the Teutonic Order. Many of this United Baltic Duchy forces fought alongside the German, as well as later Finnish and Russian forces against the Soviet Union's Red Army during the Eastern Crusade, some even helped liberating St. Petersburg (Leningrad) alongside German, Finnish and Royal Russian Forces. At the same time a anti-German, anti-Soviet resistance, the Forest Brothers, unified Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian forces fighting for the independence (from Germany and Russia) of their three Nations as separate but closely allied brother states. Their goal however was heavily contested by the Duke of the United Baltic Duchy, the Teutonic Order and many pro-Teutonic ethnic Germans within these states, even if they still were a minority within the United Baltic Duchy, despite increasing numbers of German colonists and settlers. This policy was increased by the Teutonicborn a institution and state-supported association that had the goal of rising the rate of Germans inside the United Baltic Duchy to transform it into a United German Duchy. Claiming to take care of hero families and orphans of Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian soldiers who had fallen during the Second Great War.

This Teutonic Order run institution chose those children and families that were desirable or acceptable to be Germanized and included into the German population and those unfit to do so. By raising and educating these families and children in German language, culture, tradition, art and history, Then they would help increase the German population alongside German colonists and settlers into the United Baltic Duchy. These Germans settled in the United Baltic Duchy, alongside German soldiers who fought there during the Eastern Crusade, as land was given to German Veterans by the Duke and the Teutonic Order. At the same time the German Empire, the German High Command and the Teutonic Order planned to settle roughly 10 to 20 million Germans into what they called Ostland or Ostgau until at least 1950 or 1960. They would dominate as a German majority above the around 5,000,000 Estonians, Lithuanians and Latvians, while Russians, White Ruthenians (alongside Jews) and poles had been resettled into their own ethnic Nation States (the Jews were resettled into the White Ruthenian Kingdom alongside the White Ruthenians). But the Teutonic Order claimed some border regions of the polish Kingdom too, hoping to increase the German settlement along the border and increase Germany not only further into the Baltics but into Poland as well. Similar how the Austrian Order planned to secretly Germanize and Hungarize the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the United States of Austria, replacing Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Romanian, Croats and Serbs by ethnic Austrians or Hungarians, decreasing both majority populations with more ethnic Austrians and ethnic Hungarians in hopes to increase their own power further beside the split up into more Austrian-German and Hungarian ethnic provinces during the internal political reformation of the multi-ethnic United States of Austria. It was also similar to how the Gothic Order with German and Austrian help tried to Germanize not only the the Crimean Peninsula alias Gotenland, but also the rest of the Kingdom of Ukrainia.
 
Future TL's based on this one later
Maps about how Europe and the rest of the world change ethnically will follow soon after WW2 TTL.


Also TTL will later split into a few different paths;
Anglosphere Part 1 - TTL USA victory (maybe of of WW2 as well) and TTL victory on the long run
Anglosphere Part 2 - TTL British Empire victory TTL on the long run
German Empire Sphere – German victory TTL on the long run
Russian Empire Sphere – Russian victory (partly WW2) and TTL victory on the long run
