  1. In a Surviving Venice Timeline, How Would Italian Unification Go?

    Well, Venetians did fight _slightly_, though many of the ones doing that would have been ethnic Croats in modern terms. It meant nothing because Austria still had to be compensated for the Austrian Netherlands, so the Congress of Vienna was going to confirm Campoformio and Lunéville on the...
  2. What happens in a world without Nazism but with Fascism?

    It's not like prejudice ever let truth and facts stand in its way, so probably the "civilized" Japanese activity would just be brushed aside by most. And of course, you right about Fascists in Italy here.
  3. What happens in a world without Nazism but with Fascism?

    Probably not, depending on how things go. Bet it'd be chalked up to "oriental barbarism" or something.
  4. King Theodore's Corsica

    Ligurian was a very secondary literary language at this point. There was nearly no public for a political treatise in Ligurian at the time, Italian would be the expected language for that.
  5. Wi: Coffee targeted as a drug.

    Yeah. That's critical strategic national interest at stake, we'd align with Brazil istantly.
  6. Wi: Coffee targeted as a drug.

    Italy would activate EU exit process the second this starts sounding within the realm of possibility. So would Spain and Greece I'd guess.
  7. WI Ireland took advantage of the Falklands War to launch a sneak attack on Britain and liberate Ulster?

    You are right. Still, the UK may invoke it. Even if not, everyone in NATO would likely be as supportive of the UK as they can, short of intervention (which should not be necessary).
  8. WI Ireland took advantage of the Falklands War to launch a sneak attack on Britain and liberate Ulster?

    I understand that Ireland at the time had no interest or desire whatsoever to do any such thing, and even less ability. The chances of this succeeding are so remote that they do not deserve consideration. Such an action would trigger NATO Article 5 response, so the US would be obligated to...
  9. Hypercolonialism: A TL in a day by an utter illiterate in pre-1900 events

    Paraguay is easy: I can't see Brazil taking it in a context where Argentina is a US puppet, which in itself, of course, is unlikely, but hey we don't know about Latin American independence anyway. Indonesia: its OTL division was a specific effect of the Napoleonic Wars, so either the...
  10. Hypercolonialism: A TL in a day by an utter illiterate in pre-1900 events

    I can't see Indonesia and Paraguay working as intended here.
  11. Lost Vandals of Madeira

    Why would writing be unknown? They had runes by then.
  12. King Theodore's Corsica

    I confirm. Also why is it "Cortenovo" and not "Cortenova"? "Corte" (court) is feminine in Italian.
  13. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    I begin to see what the "hygroscopic crisis" may be about.
