  1. What if Brazil never got rid of it's monarchy?

    There is indeed. However, it's is mostly between other kind of extreme right-wing types, and especially in the current environment it is always under the wing of another group, currently usually being associated with supporters of former president Bolsonaro. A actual descendant of Dom Pedro II...

  2. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    Now, that's ominous. Since Konstantinos is meant to be based in a better version of Leopold II, the foreshadowing is disturbing.

  3. How likely was Brazilian expansion?

    I assume you are talking about Uruguay, isn't? Is that evidence of expansionism or of a willingness of like-minded regimes to protect each other from the will of the people? It wouldn't have been even war, frankly, but a military coup supported by Brazilian forces in an extremely specific...

  4. How likely was Brazilian expansion?

    Er... how do you define willingness? Because the existence of military plans or the fact that some idiot at the top (Janio Quadros) imagined that it could happen doesn't mean it was likely or that the Brazilian Elites were willing to bet everything in a military invasion for a mostly unlivable...

  5. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    That sounds... omnious, even though i'm glad that he is clearly a better person right from the outset.

  6. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Same here. It's a level of detail and love for the story unseen even in this site, one that does have dozens of really good ATLs. Really appreciated these past updates, and I wouldn't mind myself a few more, even though I understand folks who want the story to go forward, I feel it has been a...

  7. Was Albert Speer’s sentence at Nuremberg justified?

    This. Joachim Fest book about Speer and his knowledge of Nazi policies pretty much rip across the argument that he didn't know much about the crimes happening in Europe. Not only he knew, but he was a key figure in that enourmous tragedy. It was a travesty of justice that he was allowed to die...

  8. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Holy shit. Yes!!

  9. AHC: Have England win the most World Cups

    Never even heard of that trophy, and it's a club competition. I guess the Olympics would have a lot more credibility to be considered a worldwide title than a competition that is pretty much forgotten nowadays, i believe that Great Britain actually won three olympic medals in the early XX...

  10. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Holy shit. This is the shit we are talking about. The update is taking quite a long time, but it will surely be a blast.

  11. How would you punish the rebel leadership after the American Civil War

    The Secession was not federally recognized. Indeed, in U.S law, it was a completely illegal act. The ideal solution would be a radical Reconstruction that broke the back of the planter's class and made some proper land reform to benefit the poorer whites and former slaves. Probably the lion...

  12. Could Imperial Brazil have become a superpower? What would be the geopolitical implications of it?

    That's just factually wrong. If you compare the Imperial government with the Old Republic, them, sure, it did have a lot of advantages, especially the kind of stable internal politics that helps with development, but aside from that, every single advantage that the Empire had was eventually...

  13. Could Imperial Brazil have become a superpower? What would be the geopolitical implications of it?

    Oh, i did not say you were, i didn't even completely read this thread. However, there are very common misconceptions that make the Brazilian Empire appear to be something it was not, and it was not a good place to live in, even though it had some points where you can favorably compare it against...

  14. Could Imperial Brazil have become a superpower? What would be the geopolitical implications of it?

    This. And i add, for sake of completing it, that the monarchy is highly overrated and mythologized by it's adepts in a way that actually butchers actual historical record and whitewashes a lot of the bad things because the Republic that followed it was quite a bit worse in it's first 40 years of...

  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    We can have faith, i guess. But, yes, i do actually believe it will.

  16. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    If it's going to be that disturbing, i concur. And i do not see any reason why it shouldn't, considering what happened. Hopefully what David is going to do isn't going to be whitewashed by ITTL historians, like so many folks in OTL. David is proving to be a very successful and capable ruler, but...

  17. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    At last, it's happening!!!

  18. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    It's not harassment, he is just trying to establish some common sense unspoken rules. I don't usually ask about updates, just wait for the notification. If it is another person posting, oh well, i just carry on with my day.

  19. Joseph Stilwell sent to Africa and Europe?

    I can only believe that he would perform badly. The problem wasn't just restrictions by Chiang, but the fact that Stillwell was a extremely difficult person to deal with that completely failed in establishing a good working relationship with his fellow chinese officers. I can not picture such a...

  20. Joseph Stilwell sent to Africa and Europe?

    I was wondering that myself last week. I was reading a bio of Chiang Kai-Shek that actually paints a very unflaterring image of General Stillwell and his dealings with the Chinese. He looked like a talented officer, but with a very limited outlook, a complete lack of flexibility and basic...
