    Without the Winter War, the FS Union also has a port in the Arctic.

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    It's not just about writing, though. People like alternate history in part because they want to see how historical characters react to changes. Sure, engaging OCs are possible - but they still don't have the same appeal as engaging historical characters for those readers who want to know how...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    With a cast made up of OCs, it's far more difficult to make it an engaging cast.

    Swiss here. Just saying, the Swiss Army is a militia. We can keep our personal weapons pistol or rifle, at home. Nothkng wrong with using that system in the South after the war for loyal folks.

    I think that's just part of fabricating the Lost Cause myth - lies made up to make it seem as if the South was in the right and the North forced the war on them and was unwilling to make peace on "honourable" terms.

    Splitting Germany won't be easy. At this point, Germany is quite united. The unification movement goes back to Napoleon.

    Thirded. The whole OTL German attack was a huge gamble that paid off thanks to a lot of luck. This TL shows what would've happened I the dice hadn't rolled in Germany's favour even once or twice.

    Unless it's just a nominal occupation and more like having trops stationed in the Ccountry in case the USSR invades.

    Yes. That's covered in "War Plan Orange" by Edward S. Miller.

    Few officers will have strategic experience, though. Most will not know anything relevant about prolonged campaigns. The average regimental commander won't be even near the level of a Prussian staff officer.

    Don't forget that Europe saw a lot of wars. Sure, the officers who served in the ACW would have valuable experiences - but not really anything better than officers who served in the Crimean War, the Second Schleswig War or the Austro-Prussian War, for example.

    Ayn Rand's toxic drivel spread far too far.

    The USA is using native Americans as patsies?

    Japanese invasion of Ceylon after winning Midway?

    I honestly doubt that the Japanese would have been able to invade Ceylon any more than they would've been abe to invade Hawaii. Logistics wouldn't allow either.

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I would assume the French navy sinks the former American navy. They were technologically advanced - keeping pace with the Royal Navy - while I really don't see the cesspit formerly known as the USA in this Timeline being able to keep up. And if the RN gets involved, it's curtains anyway.

    Weirdest alternate history Hitler?

    Does "Look Who's Back" count? Hitler reappears in Berlin in 2011 and becomes a TV star when he is mistaken as a method actor imitating Hitler as satire.

    For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    How did Italy get Corsica? Is that a mistake?

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Louisiana can hold the land against natives easily, and the only real threat - the "USA" - is kept in check by politics and diplomacy, mainly the threat of the UK attacking in support of Louisiana should the USA attack Louisiana.
