Assuming it happens. What they be annexed as free or slave states? If they former, would the southerners push for more pro-slavery states (namely through the Caribbean) even harder? Or would they fear the shift in power would tilt far too much and force the Civil War to occur sooner?
How much realistically harsher could the penalties imposed for losing the war get on the South, and how specifically might this cause a civil war decades down the line?
What would a flag for an intensely nationalist Russia look like in a world where there are no Nazis nor Soviets? Besides communist iconography, they just don't seem to have many symbols.
Simple enough idea, the wars had a massive impact on the UK's economy, military development, and the national image. Take away Napoleon and nip expansionist France in the butt, and how might have it developed?
There have always been a lot of threads discussing earlier industrial revolutions, Song China, the Indus Valley River Civilization, Rome, but what would one actually discernibly look like. What would life be like for citizens after a early industrialization? People take the industrial revolution...
Not being sarcastic, sorry if I came off that way. Italics were for emphasis at how bizarre it was. Yeah no, for one it was incredibly boring with what felt like mounds and mounds of unnecessary filler with no relevance to the plot, and for two it felt like a juvenile revenge fantasy a teenager...
Huh, so did I. It was almost like Tarantino was trying to humanize the Nazis and present them as good people just so that he could have them killed in extreme ways and use the justification that they're Nazis, so whatever.
Actually, would a much worse 9/11 be enough to get it rolling?
And I'm very curious as to who the targets could be, or does it depend solely on the scenario in the first place?
I'm focused on the potential invasions, not the draft.
But regarding it, a fear is that the US military would be stretched too thin to adequately defend the homeland and complete the mission. Not sure how plausible it is, but that was what I heard.
It was quite a while ago, I don't remember. It was called Day Zero, and it focused on the effect the draft was having on the characters, so I don't think too much attention was paid to plausibility. I distinctly remember "sent to Cairo" though. It was made to sound like it was a regional thing...
Saw a pretty bad film with an interesting premise: the US ends up invading a lot more countries post-9/11 to the point where the draft is brought back. So my question is how could this be done? In the film, more successful 9/11-esque attacks are successfully performed, making the US government...
I feel like pop-culture (namely 300) has skewed pretty much everybody's perception on just how fierce and efficient the Spartans were, so I'd like to get a realistic analysis on their capabilities.
No. During the negotiations for the Treaty of Paris, the British were willing to give away Canada (they didn't see the point of keeping it if they lost the Thirteen Colonies) and that was the original agreement before the British changed their minds and opted to keep it.
