Scenario 1:. Either the denazification program backfires horrifically, because germans gotta german and do crimes against humanity for the sake of denazification, which leads to a resurgence of neonazis. Scenario 2: A muslim-neonazi alliance. Nazis party officials flee to the middle east...

Japan had a lot of issues where they tried to use tank doctrine built for the Manchurian stepps in chinese mountains, and it did not work well.

Like native Americans they were hampered by a lack of easily accessible metal deposits which are needed to make the jump from late neolithic to bronze age technology. Give Paupa new guinea some surface deposits of tin, and make the indonesean copper deposits easier to extract with neolithic...

The senate was never supposed ot represent the people, the senate was supposed to represent the states.

She would not be able to even run, under the de-sovietization program I proposed.

What if: Members of East Germany's secret police, including informants, were banned from holding office in unified Germany.

I'm not sure, I think there will be a bit of horse trading on dibs that won't be acted on immediately and will in several cases be reneged upon later, like how the British raised a stink over Italy taking the parts of Africa they were promised after the First World War. The Germans will likely...

Yes, though probably even less successful than the holodomor if you count by percent of population. Though what are your thoughts of the selling the UK Normandy idea? Would the UK bite?

That has never stopped Germans from trying. It would probably be a combination of death camps, artificial famines and large scale poisonings ongoing for years before the Germans give up the extermination efforts.

Sometime around the beginning of the extermination, leaning towards prior with warning signs, the Germans field a deal sell some parts of northern France to the UK, mainly Normandy and some other areas that have been held by the Normans/British/United Kingdom even if only briefly occupying the...

There are many factors that can decide whether or not certain technologies are viable during their early development, things that can make them too expensive to be used until we understand them better. Just making a few key resources a bit more common, easier to mine, rarer or more difficult to...

Backroom dealings for funding the civil war with the princes going to different great powers for support. The promises that the princes make to get support vary, though the Suez Canal features prominently.

Succession crisis with multiple princes managing to get regional backing.

It would be replaced by a war in Mongolia where the Russians are getting aggressive against the Chinese.

Make is an extremely successful holdout from the crusades. Its borders protected by fortresses that have held out against one-hundred-to-one odds on multiple occasions. A system of trenches, walls and fortifications have grown to completely enclose its border over the centuries.

My understanding is that the Manchurian oil fields are of an unusual type that were not discovered until 1959 because of it. They would need to be discovered significantly earlier, probably in the 1890s during or immediately after the Sino-Japanse war, to have the policy and cultural impact I am...

The key to a lasting Japanese empire is that they need to be given a reason to spend significant effort modernizing their colonial holdings. Once they are helping their colonies rather than merely exploiting them, the Benjamin Franklin effect will erode their xenophobia. My go-to for this is...

Ironically, anyone with knowledge of breeding will come to the exact opposite conclusion of racists: Race mixing promotes health and suppresses genetic defects. Also, if different races actually did have significantly different traits, you would want to multi-generation eugenic hybridizations to...

I'm not sure. It could also be settlement habits. The most common things to lower a person's IQ are heavy metal contamination and anti-intellectual cultures, both are very common in big cities.
