  1. AHWI: No schlieffen plan

    Sry but NO. The Parlaiment had nothing to do with it at all. The decisions for war were made only by the cabinet in every stage of the story. The parliament acted solely as an 'acclamation' forum. That's at least as the intra- and postwar 'voctors' historiography tells us. If one would take the...
  2. What if Japan and Italy fought in World War I on the side of the Central Powers?

    Who says Japan has to go activly against Britain and its installations and assets? Against Russia in pursuing its gains from the last war with even further would already be enough for the german militaries with the dustraction of russian forces and I would/could think the Admirailty also would...
  3. What if Japan and Italy fought in World War I on the side of the Central Powers?

    Interesting how 'gilded by retrospective' some things can get :winkytongue:. In this case the 'closest allaince' rhymed into the the anglo-japanese alliance. British politics were from the beginning (of this allaince) eager to be not drawn too deep into and their reactions were (i.e. the...
  4. What if Japan and Italy fought in World War I on the side of the Central Powers?

    I beg to differ. Actually noone knew what the italian politicans would eventually settle on when the war broke out aside their neutrality to non-belliraganza in the beginning. Nevertheless I agree it's perhaps not so easy to find a twist to have Italy on the CP-boat right from the beginning.
  5. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    ... the 'profitability' of esp. the german colonies ... I hope you don't mind if I beg to differ. For what I was able to find on own research regarding this you might have look at this. Especially of intererst IMHO ist the developemnt the 'public and official' turnout developed over the years ...
  6. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    ... what about going here: "Post Test Messages Here" and play around with th possibilities offered.
  7. What do you think the world would be like today if the Central Powers won WWI?

    ... well ... this is either antigerman chauvinism or spreading of antisemitic propaganga ... eventually both ... ... again one of those mixtures of real events with untrue allegations as so typical for tendentious 'campaigning' The Judenzählung was NEVER approved by the Reichstag. It grew...
  8. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    Go at your first post. right hand there's a 'menu' from which you can select 'Add Threadmark index' and at the lower end of each of your posts there're further options as adding an actual threadmark to the single post with a fitting headline as well. :)
  9. WI: Kühlmann's "Peace Kite" Flies, a Negotiated End to WWI in 1917?

    Yep, something alike would be fine, IMHO esp. some kinda 'timetable' (as exactly as possibel ;)) to put the political/diplomatical action in proper relation to the militaryly events. In general : GREAT IDEA sofar though I haven't read on all the sources you offered and reviewed possible other...
  10. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    ... as long as the living standard of the german average is kept aloof the conditions of 1923/24 and between 1930/31 until 1932/33 everything's fine despite there being murmurs of '... could be better' without a doubt (though ... kinda 'german illness' such complaining regardless the situation...
  11. REDUX: Place In The Sun: What If Italy Joined The Central Powers?

    In case of @Kaiser Wilhelm the Tenth in the first instance it was due to some serious violation of his religious feelings by actions of the admin/mods of the board he couldn't bring in line with his own conscience (maybe to too many an 'outdated' concept 😒 ... unfortunatly). Only for us to...
  12. WI : Helmut Kohl died during his 1988 secret trip to DDR?

    Aside me performing a a dance of joy and relief when news get out ... after a moment of shock, then sob ofc 😬 Outraged by the perceived incompetence or even conspiration (Oooh there will be a plethora of cpnspiration theories 🤪)to cause this 'accident' there will be demonstrartons against the...
  13. WI: Vichy Without Petain

    🤔 ... why? Wouldn't Pétain be seen due to said stature as a 'stronger' leader more capable to control the assets still in hand (the french fleet) than a bunch of unpopular, 'squabbling' politicinas 'used' to the for its instability only too well known 3rd Republíque politicians who were -...
  14. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    ... LOVE that one 😀 ... one question: with "OTTO" bills you possibly mean the "ÖFFA"-bills (not for the first time: due to increased content using a translator for the german page seems recommendable)? It often seems forgotten of how auttoritarian regimes are able to pimp their accounts and...
  15. WI: Vichy Without Petain

    ... seems an important quation is somewhat forgotten atm in this discussion: How Petain IOTL actually came into his position and who should have replaced him in that. IOTL he was 'asked' to enter the french goverment and did so as Deputy Prime Minister on 18th May. Well before 'Dunkirk) and...
