  1. Soveit-Nazi Alliance

    A PoD that either makes Hitler somewhat more pragmatic, or puts another more pragmatic successor in place late enough for this alliance to blossom, is far from impossible. Remember, they signed the M-R pact and made serious negotiations to make it a full alliance in late 1940. In the brief...

  2. Soveit-Nazi Alliance

    Karl, your analysis is otherwise fine, but I don't really think it is too much realistic to assume that if TTL Hitler and Stalin are wise and sane enough to strike a productive long-term cooperation, the former would prefer to risk serious defeat in France rather than allow Soviet troops to...

  3. Political Parties in a - US owns Canada - Time Line

    Well, as far as a later union PoD is concerned, I think that somewhat later but still relatively early ones, in comparison to ARW (say a victorious War of 1812, or a A-A War in the 1890s, or as a part of WWI), would still see the long-term assimilation of Canadian electorate in the American...

  4. Political Parties in a - US owns Canada - Time Line

    Very doubtful that a Quebecois regional party would emerge with any but a very late annexation PoD and the US electoral system in place. Why mainstream Quebecois voters should willingly consign themselves to political insignificance in Congress and Electoral College alike by voting for a...

  5. Soveit-Nazi Alliance

    True, but not going to happen if America joins the fray before Britain falls. Given that it's going to take some years before the Nazi-Soviets can prepare a successful Sealion, that is a distinct possibiliy, esp. if Japan starts to act up in South East Asia, even short of Pearl Harbor antics. A...

  6. Soveit-Nazi Alliance

    First of all, I'm going to assume that, notwithstanding political differences to the contrary, ITTL Nazi and Soviet leaderships have enough commont sense to avoid backstabbing each other at least as long as they have a common enemy to fight, otherwise, it defies the whole purpose of the...

  7. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    I've received and I'm tackling the revision of the next update's draft. If you have good ideas about the political events of TTL 1930s, European and American parties, movements, Presidents, Premiers, noteworthy leaders and minsiters, etc. this is the best moment to proffer them. Abstain from...

  8. Valkyrie successful: a different Cold War

    My original idea followed your line of reasoning, and placed the line on the next obvious natural border, the 40th parallel and the neck of the Korean peninsula. I later changed it since it was argued that the US would not manage to land in time to stop the Soviets. I would like to see more...

  9. Valkyrie successful: a different Cold War

    Sorry, but I find your post weird. What has a Valkyrie PoD (1944) has to do with the Kristalnacht ? Are you sure you are not making a mistake with my other TL where Hitler dies after Munich, perhaps (about that, I would say that KN is simply butterflied away) ? Himmler is surely killed during...

  10. Valkyrie successful: a different Cold War

    Technically, you are not right since the Presidential Succession Acts of 1792 and 1886 gave the title of Acting President to the person that performs the duties of the office of President, if both the President and Vice President are dead, have resigned, or are otherwise permanently unable to...

  11. Valkyrie successful: a different Cold War

    This is all true, but expansion in Manchuria was an old Russian strategic objective, so Stalin would be eager to reap some extra war booty against Japan for its own reason, not just to help the AA (not an issue ITTL, indeed), espeically since he conquered less in Europe. So he would want to...

  12. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    The initial peace deal was generous to Hungary, since it left Transleithania with Bosnia intact, but within a year, Croat-Serb-Romanian rebellions backed by Serbia and Romania happened and showed how fragile that state was (since Magyars were only a minority). Nonetheless, the great powers did...

  13. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    Cool. :D Yes. Remember that the Dutch are getting Flanders and Ceylon from this peace deal, and the USA are paying for what they buy, since the Dutch are an ally. The outcome of the war indicates in no uncertain terms that the writing is on the wall for any European colonial possession in...

  14. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    There are still Switzerland, Andorra, and the Channel Islands around. Iceland, too, could easily take the role of tax haven.

  15. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    This is a rather interesting point. Do you think this would prompt Italy to annex Monaco and San Marino, too ?

  16. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    Ok, that makes sense, the map gets my seal of approval. Are you going to do the Americas, too ??

  17. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    First of all, I would only work with pre-WWI ethnic maps (ie. the A-H census of 1910) and not current ones, where available, in order to minimize the effects of later ethnic changes (emigration, cultural assimilation, the ethnic cleansing of Germans, etc.) in favor of Serbia and Romania and...

  18. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    Map is truly excellent. :D Only needs a couple tweaks. There are concerns about the balance of the three Swiss communities that were discussed upthread, if you give them Voralberg but not Franche-Comte or viceversa. The Hungarians are supposed to get not just the areas where they have an...

  19. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    Very good point about the Southern Cone. About Mexico, yes, justified resentment, but they need to be very very careful. A blatantly irredentist Mexico with a border on the Tropic of Cancer with an imperialistic USA is pointing a gun to own head. I think that Mexico would stay in the...

  20. The Twin Eagles and the Lion

    I think you may look to Netherlands, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Greece to be such. The others were puppetized, wooed by GRI prosperity, or intimidated by GRI might. Serbia, Romania, would-be Poland, Spain would switch to their side in the right conditions. Japan is again sliding that...
