2024-10-09 14:50:35 +0000 UTCIt's actually crazy that we are living in the timeline where so many of the 1848 revolutions failed. Great suggestion!
AlternateHistoryHub

AlternateHistoryHub
2024-10-09 14:40:18 +0000 UTCI think the scenario will work but it will take a lot of careful research to find the right divergence.

Terrablae
2024-10-05 08:17:18 +0000 UTCTechnically no but in a way yes. I want him to go in more detail on how Germany was probably going to lose WWII anyways as Britain would've just redeclared war on Germany when it suited them best
