My last observation, then I'll stop interrupting. It seems your intervention into pre-election circumstances has had the net effect on the Electoral College vote of making Hoover's Electoral College performance be *exactly* as bad as Alf Landon's 1936 Electoral College performance, with Hoover...
To qualify as PoDs for this, do they have to be post-US independence, or post the beginning of the American Revolution? Or can they start in earlier Anglo-American colonial times?
There's also greater possibility of taking action that deters one or more enemies entirely, or forces fighting with enemies to be asynchronous rather than simultaneous, and thus less expensive. Also, not all international conflicts the US might become involved with in this era under all...
Would Paraguay-ization count as "better"?
Paraguay "resolved" any chance Spanish - native Guarani racial strife under the post-independence early 19th century rule of Dr. Gaspar Francia, who mandated racial integration of the most intimate type, directing that all marriages be racially mixed...
Yes, that is a benefit as long as that continues.
*If* that political resistance/reluctance is successful and carries the day. It might still be parried by the daisy-chain logic that Soviet survival and Soviet victory is *still* nevertheless good for the USA and for assuring American (and...
OK - you're saying in this TL Roosevelt is friends with Keynes and that is a change. But what does the "instead of Hoover" part of the sentence mean? Roosevelt wasn't friends with Hoover, not by the time they were opposing candidates. It's not like anybody faced a mutually exclusive choice of...
Bravo for doing an economics centric TL and tossing some quantification in there too!
People seem to be afraid of or averse to anything but the most superficial economics centric what ifs, at least in the post-1900 forum. [they're a bit more open to it with pre-1900, age of discovery extractive...
Could Italy been wrecked worse to any critical effect by the Austrians in consequence of no Brusilov offensive?
Or could the Germans have Ver-doomed the French more at Verdun in consequence of no Brusilov offensive?
Could any of the Russian resources not expended offensively on the the...
......won't be a thing.
Political disorders, where the Constituent Assembly does *not* solve all the national problems everybody hopes it would, will certainly be a thing.
Internecine political and social violence in Russia in the remaining wartime months and the postwar will be a thing.
Some...
Haven't you heard?
The Germans, never, ever, ever would have done that.
They didn't have the occupation troops to sustain it.
The Russians were failing on their own.
The Germans had plenty of better things to do with their forces.
The Germans had *no reason* to do it. The Russians had...
This would be a fun circle to square. Especially somehow enjoying the benefits of the first with items two and three going on.
And then having the equation resolve out to what's in the title
will make for some interesting math.
I like enlightened self-interest as much as the next guy. People...
Forfeiting the exemplary precedent of our very powerful Presidents walking out of the Executive residence, on schedule, without a fuss, on their own two legs, or possibly assisted with a cane or a wheelchair, instead of getting carried out as corpse.
Consider that trade-off for a minute.
I am...
Interesting - take a look at this campaign map from December 1941. Granted it does not provide an evidentiary suggestion from before December 1941, but it is certainly earlier than 1944.
