Actually, at least according to Karl Marx, Metternich (yes, Metternich!) in 1830 was initially willing to restore Poland if it had an Austrian prince, but this ultimately didn't go anywhere due to Palmerston being opposed and Louis Philippe being unwilling to act without Britain.
As for...
His other book about Hitler wasn't well regarded by another prominent Nazi Germany historian Richard Evans though. And I've noticed that he seems to believe that the manuscript that Hitler wrote in 1928-29 for a planned second book about his planned foreign policy was primarily about America. It...
Maybe France won't be revanchist, but Russia? If they lose Ukraine in a CP victory, they will most likely be the most revanchist of the three. The elite isn't going to accept that loss (especially if the Whites win the Russian Civil War), and you are likely going to indeed have a Hitler-esque...
You could probably have the European overseas empires last to the present day. OTL the last European empire (the Soviet Union) didn't fall until 1991 (and I'm not commenting on Putin and his actions since he's definitely current politics), so the European overseas empires have a chance of...
Would he really have been one? When he visited France on November 26, 1997 (after he would've no longer been president ITTL), he was lambasting the U.S. Congress' hostility to China. I doubt he'd be more hawkish towards China than Clinton was.
Actually, the Nazis did seem to still be playing around in the early 1930s with potentially coming to power through "revolutionary" tactics. The Nazi Werner Best wrote the Boxheim Documents in 1931 that were a blueprint for a Nazi coup in Hesse (against a hypothetical Communist government)...
Well, Adolf Hitler (who was of course, to put it lightly, a MASSIVE racist who also believed that the Russian Empire was successful due to the Tsars and the ruling class in general having German blood, he believed that Slavs were incapable of forming successful states) in the 1920s did believe...
It definitely was a failure of imagination for sure - especially since you're wrong about the border disputes being settled after Khalkhin Gol, border incidents, while never getting as bad as Lake Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, continued after Khalkhin Gol and even after the signing of the Neutrality...
Which makes me wonder, why did they expect the USSR to be supporting them in the first place? Did they not think that the USSR wanted to destroy them in 1945 (which they indeed wanted to do, they viewed Imperial Japan as a threat too, at times probably just as much as Nazi Germany)?
If Stalin had committed suicide after the fall of Minsk and Barbarossa succeeded due to the Soviet government collapsing, I'd bet that the Soviet Union would probably be viewed as being less likely to have stood a chance of successfully fighting against the Nazis than France did.
One thing is certainly going to happen - if Leningrad fell in 1941 or 1942, on top of more people starving to death in Leningrad, the Nazis are going to destroy as much of the city as possible before the Soviets can retake it.
Hitler actually already believed by November 1937 at the latest that Britain was a "hate-inspired antagonist" that didn't want Germany to be strengthened further, even if he believed that difficulties in the Empire and unwillingness to get involved in another long European war had already caused...
