    If you could change three events in post-1815 Russian history, which events would you change?

    By that logic, though, expanding further into Inner Manchuria, Mongolia, and Xinjiang would have provided even better security for Russia, no?

    I'd love to see so many Chinese people in Russia just so long as they weren't secret Chinese spies, to be honest! :)

    Would Chinese accept that Russia has the Mandate of Heaven if it controls Peking but not southern China?

    I think that World War I was significantly helped by these things: 1. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand (and his wife) since it removed the main pro-peace voice in A-H 2. Austria-Hungary's remaining leadership aggressively wanting war with Serbia 3. Germany being unwilling to reign in A-H 4...

    Makes sense. That said, though, would Britain have been less pissed off had Russia limited its territorial gains to only Mongolia?

    What about limiting the gains to Mongolia and Xinjiang?

    Britain allowed Russia to gain Chinese territory in both 1858 and 1860.

    I think that HL aimed to have the Badmayev Plan be Russia's starting negotiating position, after which point Russia could compromise--for instance, by giving Britain Tibet.

    Yep, though even maintaining real life's conditions until 1914 and then having Russia refuse to fight for Serbia would likewise work for this, assuming that the CPs won't betray Russian trust afterwards by doing something extremely humilitating to Russia. In other words, the 1914 Serb betrayal...

    Yeah, one could do a quarantine of eastern Galicia once Ukrainian nationalism has already exploded there. This would, of course, mean that either Austria-Hungary (if it survives) or Poland (if A-H doesn't survive) would get Galicia in Russia's place. Without Galicia, Ukrainian nationalism would...

    What was Austria's position on Saxony? And honestly, I'd have Russia trade Poland for eastern Galicia. The Poles were a rather rebellious bunch in any case. The Galician Ukrainians could have at least been molded into Russians had they been indoctrinated with Russian nationalist ideas at the...

    Alexander III living to be 100 would mean that he lives until either 1945 or 1946, which would have been extraordinarily impressive.

    As for me: -Have Russia conquer Galicia in either 1848-1849 (as "compensation" for helping Austria crush the Hungarian rebellion), 1866, or 1870-1871 and thus strangle Ukrainian nationalism there in its cradle and ensure that it won't be able to spread to the rest of Ukraine. -Avoid sparking...
