  1. A better Ottoman Navy for WW1

    Turkey has coalfields in north-west Anatolia, exploited since ~1840 - so there's no point to convert Blucher to oil-firing.
  2. Polish WI: Gabriel Narutowicz isn't assassinated?

    Yes, but where's the HATE? That quote only shows that Pilsudzki didn't see himself as socialist anymore...
  3. Polish WI: Gabriel Narutowicz isn't assassinated?

    Rather strange for a long-time member of Polish Socialist Party to hate socialists. Pilsudzki may not have been into socialist ideology, but claiming that he was anti-socialist... CITATION NEEDED Also, IIRC it was Narutowicz' assasination that made Pilsudzki lose faith in Polish democracy of...
  4. Derfflingers, Mackensens and Yorcks in WW2

    A few thousand tonnes of rusted steel is not much use besides remelting it. Really, in post-WW1 OTL or alike, when there were Entente inspectors checking things in Germany, there's no way to hide something as big as battleship hull. If there's to be finished Mackensens and ersatz-Yorcks...
  5. What if NATO was an economic union?

    Not really, more like COMECON. What OP is proposing, btw, sounds to me like Battletech-universe Western Alliance. Fusion-powered mechs when?
  6. Soviets betray Nazis 1939

    You're mixing things up. Poles still didn't want Soviet forces in Poland, it's just they weren't sure at the moment of their intentions. Besides Rydz-Smigły order said also, that Polish forces should fight if Soviets attacked them or tried to disarm them...
  7. Personal Union between Romania and Bulgaria

    IIRC, there were more wars between Bulgaria and Serbia - before Ottoman conquest as well as after becoming independent - than between Bulgaria and Romania (including Bulgarian-Vallachian conflicts). So it's debatable if Bulgarian-Serbian union could work - too much bad blood.
  8. Personal Union between Romania and Bulgaria

    I am not sure what you are trying to say... Yes, Romanians are romanised Dacians, using Romance language, therefore Indoeuropean. Yes, (modern) Bulgarians are Slavs with some Turkic and Thracian blood mixed up, therefore Indoeuropean as well. (Btw Slavs don't have Turkic roots). Hungarians...
  9. Personal Union between Romania and Bulgaria

    Romanians are more closely related to Bulgarians, being both Indoeuropean, than to Ugrofinnic Hungarians.
  10. AHC: A Different USS Alaska

    Actually, as per Washington Naval Treaty, Italy was allowed to lay down one 35.000 t battleship no earlier than 1927, and a second one no earlier than 1929. 1s London Naval Treaty confirms that Italy could build 2 35.000t battleships.
  11. PODs that could prevent the “malaise” of the 1970s

    Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Trucial States (today UAE) and Oman were British colonies or protectorates until 1960s-1970s
  12. Oder as the Border between German and Polish upper Silesia

    Eh? Come again? Austria-Hungary and Russia had directly conflicting interests in Balkans...
  13. Cities that could have been much larger

    I don't think so - it wouldn't grow faster than OTL (1910 - 206.000, 1921 - 219.388, 1931 - 312.231, 1959 - 410.678, 2017 - 727.968). East bound railways would see less usage than OTL (border, no strong trade links), south bound more, but there wasn't much Lwow and environs could offer Kingdom...
  14. AHC: German-Polish Union

    Not possible: Polish right-wing - National Democrats - were anti-German. It was a core of their ideology (to some extent it still is)
  15. What was the Polish attitude towards the Spanish Civil War?

    ? Why would Poles be baffled like Americans? On OP: While Polish government was sympathetic to Nationalists, it was no reason to not sell arms to Republicans. Though IIRC it was tried to sell PZL-11 to Nationalists thru dummy order by Nicaragua, but it didn't work out. Also I think Nationalists...
