Anti colonial revolts are going to be suppressed in an ugly manner.
Also Italy and Japan wouldn't have been so shy using chess and biologicals against Ethiopia and China.
Very possible. Also with more settlers would north africa be integrated better? That would be like Britain's India, a source of workers that understood what the French would require of them and know the language. Would have Barbers in sub Sahara Africa maybe?
There is a point where apartheid became too rigid and not beneficial. By the 80s it was Def s crazy idea to try and continue it. But in 1970 did it look crazy? I don't know.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. But it's one thing to think that in the 40s and actually implement it in the 70s. Communism can certainly make this tricky and may give case to not cede control.
Would be interesting, as there weren't many examples of minority rule being transferred over. Wonder if with stability and if they take it slow enough, but not too slow to ensure that white flight doesn't happen. Which would help keep the economy sound and society stable. Wonder if it could be...
This I Newt Gingrichs book does the best with a WI about Lee in Maryland. After Gettysburg but anyhow. Taking Baltimore was possible, but that ends up being a millstone. As it's far away and bard to defend, us it's a Harbor and the Union has naval superiority.
The more Lee takes in Maryland...
Wonder if they'd make a quarter or fearing being integrated, would move somewhere else where they could be the dominate group. Think the Germans in southern Brazil maybe.
And when France and Britain cozy up, you might see some French immigration to Australia or NZ. Wouldn't take that many to...
Would be interesting to see a larger French diaspora. As outside a few spots there basilisk one. Would this larger group look to France as the cultural north pole, or would they drift away
Would be a waste. Until late 42 Portugal would be wary of sudden German and or Spanish attacks. This would tie down Wallied assets in protecting Portugal from such threats. Would be a net drain outside of the azores imho
China turned insular iotl but this nationalist govt wouldn't. What would be the effect on how the Chinese diaspora views China? They'd probably not be cool with the ethic rioting in Indonesia for one.
I feel that after Mochas or however it's spelled, was the last good ottoman won on the west that wasn't a siege. After that the ottomans usually just put a massive force in the field and western armies yielded the field or retired to a fortress.
It's seems the criticism of the Ottomans is that...
They did fight each other at Malta. The relief force fought a pitched battle on Sept 11 and pushed the ottomans back and they left the island after that.
Problem is the ottomans were so exhausted, I'm sure modern reenactors could beat them. These were guys who were probably wounded, sick and...
I agree with everything else, but it's the susquehanna pretty shallow? I've never forded it but it always seemed pretty shallow to me. A mile wide and a foot deep they say iirc
Just raid. Get supplies, burn stuff and try to get back to NV in early fall without another major engagement. This helps NV recover and the loot would help the supply situation
