  1. More Uit De Blauwe South Africa

    Probably, they after all started moving out of the areas the VOC controlled before already because of how much control the VOC wanted/had. Though depending on how it's done they could be more similar to the Australians than the Afrikaners we know now. Ie. they're their own thing, but also not at...
  2. WI: the Netherlands are dragged back to the German sphere after receiving part of the Rhineland in 1815

    One thing that needs to be noted is that the dialect of Köln is actually way more on the Dutch side than the German one. And there's similar things going on in various Rhineland areas. Also there's already a standard Dutch by that time and it will not be completely going away. It's more likely...
  3. AHC: wank Frisia and Frisian

    It certainly is possible for the frisians to (re)gain control over most of holland and what later became the Netherlands, the languages are quite close and depending on the dialect mutually intelligible, and it seems that historically that seems to have been the case as well. There's even a...
  4. DBWI: No German Revolution/Restoration?

    I've actually read that most obnoxious book by mr Hitler. I cannot understand how he could come to those horrible conclusions. Glad that he changed his opinion after! I do think we can all agree that if there wasn't a communist uprising and a subsequent monarchist revival then something else...
  5. DBWI: No German Revolution/Restoration?

    are there that many in Germany? I think most are in eastern europe
  6. DBWI: No German Revolution/Restoration?

    I honestly think a genocidal dictatorship is a bit ASB mate, a dictatorship is something I can agree would happen? But genocidal? Nah. Besides against whom would they be genocidal? The French? I mean they lost their colonies so genocide seems impossible, I mean they wouldn't and couldn't do it...
  7. DBWI: No German Revolution/Restoration?

    Without the German restauration it's quite likely that the House of Habsburg wouldn't manage to get back in Austria and some of the surrounding countries.
  8. Swedish-Prussian Union

    Unless they were promised specific trading rights, which is not improbable either since the Dutch had massive trade relations with Prussia ánd Sweden. A lot of the Swedish and Prussian lords and grand landholders exported stuff to NL at the time
  9. AHC: Alternate European Capitals

    Amsterdam IS the capital of NL. Another sollution could be Brussel or The Hague, or even Utrecht
  10. AHC: Crown an 'Emperor of the Netherlands'

    the Kings of Kings on Java should suffice, or just the fact that it conquered all the local kings and just a large region. More than enough to claim an Emperorship imho. Best way though would be with a bigger Dutch colonial empire which become independent countries in a larger Empire similarly...
  11. DBWI: divided Dutchland

    or possibly redirect them into Dutchland instead of them happening in France. I wonder though, would a stronger Russia help? I mean their constant infighting them to be fractured both along religious as well as cultural lines these days, but if it had been stronger, could it have been a force...
  12. DBWI: divided Dutchland

    yes, they still celebrate the expulsion of the Dutch from there also! Or their sack and burning of Prague and Berlin. Though if you want the Dutch Empire broken, just attacks from the east aren't going to cut it, in fact I'd suggest the changes which need to happen are a role reversal between...
  13. Perhaps I too should start using Sufficient Velocity again.

    Perhaps I too should start using Sufficient Velocity again.
  14. Switch Austrias and Prussias fate

    A Prussian Prince getting killed by the Nazis for his defence against fascism in a show trial which causes an obvious resistance against the Nazis in Prussia might be a good start. Alle then need is to swing the propaganda to declare Austria the root of German mitarism and aggression. A well...
  15. AHC: US Becomes A Parliamentary System

    What about him getting that semi-parliamental system through somehow before getting murdered by an extremist? That might at least keep the semi system alive and possibly galvanise Americans to implement Wilson's vision
  16. Ideal Partition of Germany?

    The same should then also apply to any and all conquered nations, but you obviously don't apply it to Poland. More importantly the Netherlands remained in the fight and kept aiding with all it could!
  17. Ideal Partition of Germany?

    A naton which had been occupied and gave all it still had in resources to the UK/USA is a state which was "on the [fucking] sidelines"??!! Have you no fucking decency! It is not WW1 we're talking about. According to your obvious standard Poland sat out the war just as much: its land occupied...
  18. Ideal Partition of Germany?

    why does any state "deserve" to get land populated with German? According to downtime ideas it is to pay them for the atrocities the germans committed, or to punish the germans, or to prevent a german resergence. According to otl ideas it is a crime against humanity, and no country deserves...
  19. WI: The Neatherlands Recieve the Rhineland 1814-1815?

    it is ofcourse true that Dutch and German start and end at their respective border is a quite modern devellopment, but the tendency towards being culturally and linguistically Dutch or German has started a lot earlier than people might immagine. Even the 1830s there already was a significant...
