    What does the RRB stand for?

  2. 1919 Rhenish Republic and Anschluss

    The Austrians speak German to this very day, they drive German cars, listen to the same pop music as we Germans do and watch all of our afternoon trash talk shows on their TV channels. Yet they have no desire to be Germans. I think the obvious difference in 1918 - the Rhineland was part of...

  3. 1919 Rhenish Republic and Anschluss

    Austria had a distinct identity since the Habsburgs. It wasn't as if the Allies needed to march troops into Austria to keep them from merging with Germany. Berlin could always refuse to sign the treaty. It would have meant renewed war, but IMHO no Weimar politician would have put his...

  4. 1919 Rhenish Republic and Anschluss

    I live in the Rhineland (Aachen) and from the sources I've read, it seemed to me that the separatists were a VERY small fringe minority. They had little to no popular backing, and only managed to pull of what they did (hoist the flag, occupy a few town halls) because the French were occupying...

  5. Hitler in power earlier?

    Wow! What a detailed timeline! Compliments to the creator! :) But wouldn't the French in 1923 be much more willing to kick the Germans in the ass than they were historically in 1936? In 1923, the memory of the war was still there, as well as a professional army that had won WW1. They didn't...

    It's how we spell Charles Martel in Germany. :) Not my real name.

  7. Post-Tsarist democratic Russia

    I think you're underestimating just _how_ radical the ideas in the German leadership had become. Vast annexions in the east had been on their agenda since around 1915, it wasn't just something they came up with as they say Russia fall apart in late 1917. And they had similar plans for the west...

  8. Yet Another CSA, 1863-1905

    Main problem: The slaves in the CSA were more worth than everything else. They were literally worth more than the ENTIRE Confederacy's real estate, and several times more than there even was currency in circulation. Compensating the slave owners would have been so extremely expensive that the...

    CSA victorious! So much to play around with, in America and through long-term consequences in Europe as well.

  10. Post-Tsarist democratic Russia

    "I'm not real clear on what drove the Germans to demand all that they did - Russian weakness? Superiority complex? Seen today the B-L peace seems totally unjust." Brest-Litovsk was an extremely harsh treaty. The Ukraine and Belorussia were fundamentally Russian in identity. The Germans didn't...

  11. A WWII C&C

    Oh, as for me, I'm perfectly okay with it. I used to play Battlefield for some time, and while I 'prefer' playing as the Germans, I also enjoy playing the other side for a change. Especially if they have better bombers. :D The thing is, Americans are so totally into Nazis and WW2, that in...

  12. AH Challenge: Pan-Slavic Empire

    In the 20th century?? Umm.... the USSR and its 'empire' (the COMECON) was the closest thing to an empire. Other than that, I see no remotely possible way to have something like 100 million people (Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks and others) just forget about nationalism and...
