So the same as in OTL? Let's say that in this ATL the permament memebers of the security council consist of UK, France, USA, Japan and Italy . Is it really much worse than the OTL one that initially consisted of UK, France, USA, Soviet Union and ROC?
I would argree however that, in this...
Are they all supposed to be this attractive? Because otherwise you will need to work on the prompts because most AI image generators tend towards making the subject attractive.
Let's say that Guangxu menages to defeat Yuan and the court conservatives by 1909.
Would he be able to negotiate with revolutionary leaders such as Sun Yat Sen?
Is there any chance for a compromise between Constitutionalists and Tongmenghui this late?
Are there any sources on his opinions in 1900s?
Also, let's say that he menages to find allies both among Constitutionalist and among some governors and court officials would he be potentially able to defeat opposition consisting of the conservative officials and Yuan Shikai?
Were there any...
So returning to this discussion:
If Guangxu Emperor survived the assassination attempt in 1908 would he be able to use this as a pretext for purging the more conservative forces within Qing government?
Would he still require Yuan's support for that?
Alright, so let's discuss a scenario in which Yuan Shikai orchestrates a palace coup some time in mid to late 1900s, removes the more obstructionist Manchu ministers and forms a government with parity between Manchu and Han.
1) Why would he do it? I won't claim I know a whole lot about the man...
No country exists in vacuum and different political and economic situation in China will ultimately influence the situation in other countries even if indirectly.
Very comprehensive answer but you assume to much pararelism with OTL history. I don't think that with a PoD in 1900s even creation of the Soviet Union is certain let alone WW2 or the Cold War.
Regarding Qing's involvement in the Great War I do wonder if it being more stable than OTL 1910s China...
How plausible would it be to either completely avert or at least significantly postpone (by no less than 10 years) the Chinese Revolution of 1911 and the fall of Qing dynasty if the point of divergence can be no later than the end of the Boxer Rebellion?
Would this require the New Policies to...
Europe is not a cultural monolith and Norway, Sweden and Finland did have their own periods of either full or at least partial prohibition. Even today the sell of alcohol is highly controlled in these countries by European standards.
But in these countries similarly to USA this was also born...
An interesting question is if continuous prohibition of alcohol would stop or at least slow the spread of other illegal intoxicants in USA.
Also, although I doubt very plausible of such scenario (considering the attitudes from which the prohibition movement arose) it would be interesting to...
