  1. Factors needed for successful Nazi invasion of the Soviets

    Just two. Grant independence for Ukraine and gran land for farmers.

  2. 1939: Danzig before Prague

    Still, there was no ideology suitable for strenghtening state. Franco's Spain could be a comparison (still not very good - after all, Mościcki was academic, not soldier, I'd also say, that role of Catholic Church was LESS important in Poland than in Franco's Spain) - still, it's hard to call it...

  3. 1939: Danzig before Prague

    Sorry, that's not enough - in that way US presidential system is "more fascist" than, say, British. It's really hard to call Sanacja a right wing moevement. There was no pressure to put the role of state over individuals, there was - although opressed - oposition, economic freedom was...

  4. 1939: Danzig before Prague

    I wonder why there is implicite assumption, that "crisis" would mean "war". If, Germany just take Danzig, Poland, without backing by western powers, could do nothing about that. The really interesting things would be Polish next move. I see three possibilities. 1) If West would make...

  5. WI Calculas was invented in 0 AD Roman Empire

    What society with minimal amount of scientist would do with calculus? Anyway, even if there was such knowledge in Roman Empire, it would definitely be lost during eraly Middle Ages.

  6. DBWI: Clashes along Franco-Polish Border

    Well, if by "government" you mean those red, treacherous puppets of Sweden, then, yes, they did. But Duke is still loyal to Poland, and, moreover his family is safe in Warsaw.

  7. no first conact with japs

    Possibly. IIRC, there was strong German influences on Japanese army. Just off topic: did you guys know, that Japnese introduced German Civil Code BEFORE it was done in Germany ;)?

  8. Persian Victory at The Battle Of Granicus

    No difference in a long run. Whoever wins, must sooner or later face the Roman Empire. And lost.

  9. War without the Nazi's

    And some more, say, more or less to the Atlantic Ocean.

  10. France capitalizes on Nazi fumble

    Revolt? None. *Slight* chance of coup d'etat, but rather disorganized and chaotic (eg. somebody shooting Hitler, without any ideas what next). Even then, there probably would have been truce, not general retreat from French teritory.

  11. Most terrible tyrant post-1900

    Pol Pot, then Mao.

  12. A Soviet handheld anti-tank weapon in WW2

    They wouldn't introduce it before 43'. And after 43 they were winning. Just few Russian dead soldiers less. But, who would care? Stalin or Zhukov?

  13. Would the USSR have invaded Poland if Nazi Germany did not exist?

    No. The most probable scenario in "no WWII world" would be appearing sooner or late some kind of Ukrainian and Byelorussian terrorism, similiar to Irish or Basque OTL. Not exactly. German racist teories were... uhmm... flexible, and just secondary to geopolitics. In case of, say, Polish-German...

  14. East Germany without communism

    IMHO, it could be possible, that for some reason Western Germany decided, that unification would cost too much (for example, Eastern Germany government last longer, so first effects of "shock therapy" in other ex-communist countries could be seen, or just european states are reluctant to let...

  15. Alternate successors to Stalin

    Beria seems to be nutaral candidate. What could happen? The most optimistic possibility is some kind of "perestroika", with USSR leaving it's satelites (which would lead to authoritarian goverments or some kind of liberalization, as well) and trying to regain it's power. So, "perestroika"...

  16. Poland and Czechoslovakia stand together against the Nazis

    Awwww... could you be so nice and notice, that Polish government in 68' was neither Polish nor democratic? As for initial question: interesting possibility, probably the last chance for Poland to avoid war. Czech-Polish aliance could have chance, not to win, but rather to stop Hitler from...

  17. WI: No Maximillian Affair

    No, it was in 30's of 19th century. 31? 32?

  18. Potrze nostry, kwały jesz en czałór - or Romanised Poland

    I find this site strangely... crazy. It's AH, nonetheless, with amusing try to show, how would Polish language be if it was derived from Latin. http://steen.free.fr/rtc/flags.html It seems that somebody has done amazing work, making artificial Wenedyk language, some wikipedia-like pages...

  19. WI: The Polish Republic

    It wouldn't change anything. Whatever had happened, communists would be still associated with Polish-SOviet War of 1920'. Moreover, there was strong socialist party (PPS), so there will be no reason to vote for any other "red" power. IMHO, in this scenario there could be 4-5 parties on...

  20. WI: Slava Ukrainiya!

    No, unless you change all WWII timeline.
