  3. China and a surviving USSR: WI a world with two *communist* superpowers?

    China is, by many if not most analysis, destined to become a superpower this century, comparable to the US. For a period between 1991 and a debatable date, the US was considered the only remaining superpower, with the USSR falling from its former ideological, symbolic, and of course material...

    Post-WW1 socialist revolutions succeed?

    In the wake of the Great War, Europe was stricken by massive socio-economic upheaval. People all over the continent, war-weary and hungry, were fed up with the contemporary order, and many became attracted to Marxist ideals and socialism. From Russia to Berlin, from Bavaria to Hungary, uprisings...

    Soviet Russia after an early end to WW1?

  6. What if Lenin & Trotsky Were Killed During the July Days?

    During July 1917, when the workers of Petrograd wished to overthrow the Provisional Government for its continuation of the war and lack of progress on agrarian reform, it was an extremely difficult situation for the Bolsheviks.

    What happens to Korea in the event that Japan does not surrender?

    Most discussions about Operation Downfall revolve around the affects on Japan itself and America, but I want to explore what happens to Korea in the event of a successful Kyujo coup, the atomic bombs being delayed, or other PODs although it is understandable the relative lack of focus on there...
  8. Red World OG & FAN FORK Discussion About The Countries of the World Lore

    So far I haven't seen that discussion about one of the most bizarre Hearts of Iron 4 workshop creations. So I thought I was it was a good idea to create a thread about the countries and the lore. I haven't played in a while so I can't get any information about it. I would say let's put the...

  11. WI: Socialist Realism not made official art style of USSR

    I was reading up on the history of Soviet art, and a pretty obvious question came to me: what would it be like if the USSR never adopted the "Socialist Realist" art style as official, and therefore never suppressed alternative art styles? If you don't know, after the Russian revolution a variety...
  12. Best case for Russia/USSR after 1917

    With a PoD of around March 1917 (when Tsar Nicholas II abdicated the throne of Russia), what would have been the best possible outcome for the Russian Empire/Soviet Union by the close of the 20th century? Avoiding war and/or keeping the USSR intact is not required if you do not feel it is...

    DBQ: Why exactly did Communism succeed in Japan?

    So I understand that there were a number of circumstances that led to a rise in popularity with socialism and communism in Japan, including the very costly Japanese victory in the Russo-Japanese War and many people feeling cheated out of expansion in Asia when Britain and France split German...

  18. WI/AHC: A far-right equivalent of communism?

    So I'm going to preference this by saying I don't know all that much about communism, Marxism or socialism, so anything I get wrong is an honest mistake. Anyway, the challenge is simple: create a far-right socioeconomic policy that's the equivalent of communism. By that I mean an exportable...
