If you have spotted it, there is a hint on a relatively major divergence that’s happened in Britain in this last chapter.
The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War
- Thread starter Kaiser of Brazil
- Start date
With a PoD of a world without Roosevelt and a worsened depression, Wallis Simpson never met the future King Edward.
Will the Empire stay around this time in some sort of Federation or will it simply fade away like OTL?
It remains to be seen, but Britain certainly won’t let go of their colonies as easily with the Linz Pakt controlling half of Africa and an united Continental Europe pointing thousands of rockets at them.
If Britain wants to keep their empire, they're going to have make some serious changes to how they run their colonies, they might have to cut losses with colonies truly untenable to manage and work really hard to keep what have left. Thanks for the reply. Can't wait for the next chapter.
So, how likely do you see the French, influenced by Generalplan Ost, commit genocide against the Algerians with a goal of "making Algiers and Oran as French as Paris"? I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up the case as a younger generation influenced by German Nazism takes over the reins of the French State.
probably high! since the French state is prepared to do anything to maintain its empire, which allows a "certain independence" of Germania, then French Africa is likely to be very bleak for its inhabitants
I can see Corsica being given to Italy but why isn't Nice and Savoy italian? In OTL Italy wanted Nice above everything else.
Nice and Savoy are Italian, I’m pretty sure that it was mentioned in the Neuordnung chapter which details the Treaty of Versailles. Sorry but I have practically no abilities in drawing a map.
so who owns Corsica because in the last chapter the island is mentioned as an Italian gain yet before you said it was still French so I'm a little confused 🤔
I think South African-esque Apartheid is more likely than outright genocide.
Did I? Must have been a typo, which chapter was it? Corsica belongs to Rome and Napoleon is an Italian!
extract: 1940 during the fall of France, and while publicly the victory was celebrated as the Kingdom of Italy expanded it's Spazio Vitale to the Alps and Corsica...
