Rich Rostrom, that was just awesome. Two thumbs up to you! :D

I recognize that Germany might overextend their operations if they include Spain, but I was debating with deh74 whether or not the Spanish are less useless than the Italians. In this TL, Hitler somehow gets Franco to realize that a possible Allied victory can very well mean an end to Fascist...

Last time I checked, experience does not mean capability. You're suggesting that the lack of sufficient technology in Spain is a sign of how inexperienced they are? Inexperienced in producing an armoured force, maybe, but very experienced in actual fighting. The quality of the Spanish soldier is...

China came out of a heavy civil war, occupation, and genocide and still influenced the Korean war to a great extant. The Spanish were very experienced, more so than the Italians. Their disadvantages would, of course, be a problem, but I don't expect them to be useless.

Spain isn't Italy. I expect them to be more helpful.

Well....yes, that's basically it. I'm more interested in how the two countries could effect World War II at the time they join in, not their incentives to actually join it.

Ah yes, an incentive. I forgot to include that. Spain joins the Axis because Hitler motivates Franco to take a look around him. The Allies are right around Spanish Africa, the British still have Portugal as an ally (although a neutral and fascist one in this war) and Gibraltar as part of their...

2 years later and I finally post in this subsection! :D So, my question is how would WWII be altered if Spain and Turkey join in? Spain presumably joins the Axis around 1942 during Operation Torch (or anytime before) and Turkey joins the Allies around 1942 during Case Blue. How significant...

Will these guys sack Constantinople too?

Very......interesting...... Does he also discover Australia? :p

A dream come true.

Thats why I originally posted "If he lived till 80 he would conquer the world".

Wait a minute, there are elephants in Europa Universals???? Anyways, Alexander's armies went through a desert, survived mortal combat, survived the Afghanistan and Pakistan, survived elephants (not easy seeing them the first time and not knowing what to do), survived almost everything...

Alexander the Great managed to defeat a much larger Indian force that had A LOT of elephants, A lot of Horses, and a good mount of infantry that Alexander still managed to beat in the horrible terrain he had been in. Now imagine Alexander using the elephants and start trampling down to Sri...

Alexander dies at age 80 instead of 33 then he would have conquered the world already.
