Just as an aside, Juniper wasn't exactly that benevolent. In order to protect her people she was quite willing to drive off / see others starve. Hard times mean hard decisions.
In many ways the state Arminger built was almost admirable and probably no worse than medieval Europe once the...
Well, there are a fair number of candidates other than those already mentioned
Rennenkampf / Samsonov in East Prussia 1914
Conrad - lost big time to the Russians in 1914
Corap and Huntziger - France 1940
Budenny - SU 1941
Saddam Hussein - GW1 and 2
Galtieri / Menendez -...
Yes, and the Occupied South could have somehow been reconstructed as viable US States instead of the festering sinks of rebellion they have become....;)
Maybe Hitler could have had such a case of tunnel vison that he built one....the London-Paris-Berlin express opened in 1945 has become the classic 5th column story even if tanks rolling down Whitehall from Waterloo is a bit of cliched theme.
With due respect to pilots on all sides, kill figures are unreliable - I'm dubious about RAF figures - the 185 kills on Sept 15th may be as few as 55, and am certainly doubtful about German and Soviet figures.
Any fighter pilot tracking a kill cannot be be keeping track of the battle and is...
Going out on a limb here...No suppression of the Prague Spring...Western Europe assumes some form of democratic socialism within the Warsaw Pact is possible. Possibly the Paris riots lead to a more left-wing France rather than a De Gaulle presidency. Greater anti-US agitation over...
I'm confused. What China-Japan war? China wasn't fighting the Japanese in WW1. The Japanese attacked and took the German enclave at Tsingtao..that is all.
The 20 demands date from 1894 well before WW1. Also, well before the US-Spanish War, the Boxer Rebellion (in which the US, European...
Why would the USA go to war with Japan over China? It didn't in OTL - World War 2 was Japan attacking the USA and even after that the USA followed a Europe First strategy.
So far as WW1 is concerned. No unrestricted U Boat war means no casus belli for the USA. The Zimmerman telegram might...
Disregarding the nukes bit - given the dilution of effort and resources in Turtledove's timeline, the idea that any one country could develop an A-bomb is farfetched - where did the bombers to drop them come from? There is nothing to suggest that B-29 or Lancaster bombers (the only ones that...
A better armoured BEF would be somewhere inside Belgium whilst the Germans were astride the Somme, In fact, the further inside Belgium the BEF was, the worse it would be as its supply lines were cut. As the Germans learnt at Stalingrad, an effective modern army is of little value if its support...
It depends on how much the US wants to break the blockade and the legality thereof. Technically, blockade was only of territorial waters but, following precedent, the UK extended this to international waters. The US blockade of the CSA provided a legal basis for this interpretation.
