  1. Postcolonial island federations

    Not really. The thing about islands is they very easily create an us versus them mentality. You gave for example Aruba, which is still an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. But the two neighboring islands Curacao and Bonaire which share more or less the language(creole)...

  2. British find the massive gold deposits in Uganda in the 1920s

    Uganda likely turns into Rhodesia 2.0 with more white settlers and a more bloody Mau Mau war as it likely also attracts more white settlers into Kenya. Especially with the economic depression, I can definitely see large migration from Britain. A gold rush always attracts migrants.

  3. WI: KMT survives in Southern China

    I don't know if the North Koreans would invade South Korea in this tl, but don't see if the war is stalled that the Chinese wouldn't send troops to help the North Koreans. Especially if it potentially open Manchuria for invasion.

  4. Indos blocked from immigrating to the Netherlands

    Yeah, that is why creating a Eurasian New Guinea failed otl. The only big difference is that Suriname at least had some form of the mining industry that was already developed. However, a large part of the soldiers came from the country-side, I think that farming was just too labor-intensive...

  5. Indos blocked from immigrating to the Netherlands

    Well, I think if the Indos are blocked from migration a lot might end up slaughtered or/and end up in captivity for x number of years than face discrimination. Best to split the indo's into groups because indo's are too broad of a term. Molukkers for example are mostly pure Asian stock, while...

  6. China's population with a KMT victory

    It would likely be slightly lower. Before the one child-policy, the communist government supported large families they stopped because they couldn't feed them anymore. Honestly, KMT China would be more wealthy than otl China and would be having lower birthrates a lot earlier. So the one-child...

  7. Belgian recognition of Katanga, 1961

    The problem is with this is that the Belgians had zero for sight that the Congo would be independent begin 60's. Truth be told if the Congolese didn't demand it and riot, it might be together with Portugal be one of the remaining colonial powers in Africa. Not that the Belgians have stomach for...

  8. AHC:Make as many ‘French Guianas’ as possible.

    Suriname gained its independence without a referendum. It was achieved because of one MP of the anti-independence party switched. The Dutch government at that time was planning to ditch their last colonies because of the riots in Curacao a few years prior. to the Suriname Independence. The Dutch...

  9. Hitler’s view of the Holy Roman Empire

    Nazi Germany called itself the third Reich. The second Reich is imperial Germany (1871-1918), the first Reich is the Holy Roman Empire. So it is save to say that he saw it as a germanic state.

  10. Rhodesia joins South Africa

    I doubt Coloureds even if Afrikaans speakers. While the most speak with a dialect of there own. Will vote for a party that wants take away there rights that separate them from Black Africans. If there vote matter depends. In 1908 there was already a few additionele restrictions. Further...

  11. Rhodesia joins South Africa

    So instead of Apartheid, you will have Rhodesian/Cape colony form of racisme. Even with additionele white settlement, it will more or less even out with additionele Black population of Rhodesia. A more pro British South Africa will lead to more transfers from the British. Botswana, Lesotho and...

  12. The Fourth Shore - Italy 1940 with Il Duce

    Smugglers, it wouldn't be impossible. A few extra thousands jews will destabilize Palestine. It's already to a breaking point.

  13. Maximum Territorial Boundaries of a Neutral Italy

    Italians can also occupy Albania without too much hassle. From France they will not gain any territorial compensation. Most likely otl demilitarized zone at there border. Bribes from Britain if they play it smart.

  14. Plausibility Check: A German Purchase of Either Luxembourg or Suwalki Governorate?

    Likely the only reason why Luxemburg didn't end up a part of Germany, is because Bismarck didn't find it necessary. Bismarck was not even for the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine. Just change that. Germany can buy it easily with the war indemnity from France. Plus Northern France is still...

  15. August 4 1914 Germans unit cross Dutch border

    After the German defeat. Depending how fast the KNIL-army can occupy German pacific possesions. But the Netherlands may get a few extra holdings. Ost- Friesland and a few border smaller border changes could happen. During the war the germans aren't likely able to occupy the randstad area (where...

  16. AHC: Largest possible France by 1939?

    I voted for Benelux, Luxemburg and west-Switzerland. But with Benelux I would say more or less Wallonie with or without Brussels. It would be better if there where more options than instead of "Benelux" which refers to the entirety of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg. Geneve wasn't a...

  17. TL: The 4th International : Rosa’s Reich

    Will the army even try to revolt during the war? They might not like the KPD, but a chance to regain the east, will likely keep most Junkerds in line. This Germany lost not only West-Prussia and Poznan, but also most of Silesia. They will likely put up with it, with the intention to betray after...

  18. TL: The 4th International : Rosa’s Reich

    Rosa needs a quick victory. If the the Russians and the Germans able to create an corridor, Rosa's position during the peacetalks will be far more better terms than Otl. They will likely still lose Alsace-Lorraine, but lower war indenmity and demilitarized Rheinland. How is the situation in the...

  19. What If The Walking Dead was made by HBO

    Season 2 wouldn't have sucked so horrible.

  20. WI: The US Stands By Tibet (1951)

    It may help the in Korea. The Chinese will be forced to send more troops to Tibet. However longterm the Tibetans will lose and likely be in a worser state than Otl. The Tibetans will lose the war. The Chinese have the manpower to fight both in Korea and Tibet, however it might have a slightly...
