Okay this is some very rough outline I could see happening out of my lack of good knowledge of the period and military context. I think 1, 2, 3 and 4 are probably likely to happen by 1940 (although feel free to point if I'm wrong there), providing both Britain and Free France with more...

Incidentally, for some reason, most of Maoist songs in French were made by Canadians. I was pretty sure they did a translation of the East is Red and I could swear I half-remember the first strophe, but I simply can't see to find it at all.

Maoist Hong-Kong?

@Hendryk To be honest, I kinda hoped you'd have some lights to shed there, giving your involvement with FTL 😁

Mers-El-Kebir would be still extremely fresh in everyone's mind in both French navy and colonial circles, and depending on how bloody the Battle of Dakar would have been ITTL, I don't think it would have painted De Gaulle and Britain in any more positive light. In fact, you'd have likely an...

What would be the consequences if Franco-British forces managed to successful complete their objectives in Dakar? Let's say the Free French forces are able to take Rufisque and then advance west until securing Dakar, De Gaulle being convinced that fighting against French and colonial troops...

It's a tough question, because solidifying control over the peninsula in the wake of Umayyad conquests can mean a lot of both contradicting and not-contradicting events talking place. For instance, it can easily mean, or even requires, a successful set of campaign by Al-Sahm in the early 720's...

I wonder if Turkey got extra rays at its flags to hammer the idea it wasn't socialist?

It does ring a bell.

Map of the ancient kingdom of Austrasia. The true and ancient heritage of the French Crown. Made in 1642, largely in support to royal claims over large swathes of Lorraine (which is scarcely distinguished from either French or Imperial lands by a yellow border, a red one for Lower Lorraine)...

"American reservation" : it's uncanny, almost like if the prospect of being stuck in a reservation was unappealing.

That must be why they call it shah-rcuterie.

I'm not going to lie, how long-laſting this certificate (and conſequentally, the webſite itſelf left to the publick) was is nothing ſhort of impreſsive.

I've a friend who doesn't get it.

Is this how you becomes Prince of Whales? (I'll see myself out)

Does the ASB include people realizing what happen pretty quickly at the start of the change, or is it let to their own appreciation and analysis? If not so, I'm not so sure moving boats every day on what's essentially a wet, salty swamp would be easy. If so, of course, well they might just move...

IOTL, the Danube Program was dedicated to the development of nuclear weapons, before being scrapped with the revolution on 1989, in part thanks to Romania's large strategic and political autonomy from the Eastern Block since the 60's, dealing to develop its nuclear civilian program as well as...

How gradual or realistic would be the drop? In particular, would the coastal withdrawal allow for fleet displacement over new coasts and would the drop be roughly previsible enough to plan for new harbour infrastructures? Would the new lands essentially be swamps or alluvium for the foreseeable...
