Brandenburg was "neutral" in 1630 (actually it was more like "please leave me alone"). Brandenburg had been neutral earlier but Wallenstein and the Imperials overran it anyway and compelled Brandenburg to align with the Emperor. The Swedes then appeared and to avoid being ransacked again the...
They don't enter the Thirty Years War as IOTL pre-1630. Doesn't mean the threat of them entering doesn't exist.
Brandenburg is neutral at this time as well. If the Swedes don't intervene it may suit the Imperials t leave the North German fringe alone.
If the PoD is that Sweden will never...
Swedish threat is still alive - the incentives for the Empire to peace out before intervention are still there. Don't see much changing in 1629 i.e. before OTL Swedish intervention. Denmark is part of the Northern German fringe that survive due to Swedish threat being present. Only if Sweden...
Well the Protestant parliament is going to be terrified of the prospect of a Catholic victory in Germany so while I agree that Charles will feel emboldened the counter reaction from Parliament is likely to discourage him. Politically he will likely see an accommodation with France against...
Well if the consequence of a (more) Catholic Germany is a (more) Protestant England then there will be less of a drive for the Puritans to leave England. Instead you may see many more Germans emigrating to America, both because there are more of them left alive and there is less religious...
Sweden and Poland almost certainly go around for one more war in 1635 when the truce runs out. Likely Sweden cements control of the Baltic coast. Brandenburg may only survive as the main protestant hold out via an alliance with the Swedes.
Most of the rest of Germany is more or less...
Please address the points I made rather than points you would have like me to make.
I suggested that the Soviets would be regarded as equally bad to the Nazis in April 1940. Clearly after France, the BoB, North Africa and the Balkans, Germany is going to enemy #1.
I said myself that...
Classic Media is a rounding error in the Fox / Time Warner deals so it wouldn't have made any difference.
Disney already had the marketing for Dreamworks so can't see the drive to acquire Classic Media if Dreamworks were going to. Given the conspicuous lack of success that Classic Media IP...
If the Finnish collapse is relatively early (e.g. Soviets fully exploit their armoured breakthrough at Summa and the Mannerheim Line is turned) then the likely outcome is a puppet Red Finland via the Finnish Democratic Republic. How stable this might be is anyone's guess.
Of course then In...
I think the area on the map is unfeasible but the idea of a Polish safe haven is not so unlikely. something like the "Free city of Krakow" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_City_of_Cracow but in this case guaranteed by Britain, France and the USA. Maybe based around Osnabruck. It would be...
It's very difficult to say as the three options (lost, stalemate and didn't happen) offer very different outcomes.
If stalemate and "didn't happen" mean that Japan retains its position in Korea, even without any position in Manchuria then I think little changes. The victory offered Japan so...
So PQ 17 gets +1 carrier in covering force and an escort carrier in the convoy itself as per PQ18. And the destroyers are first rate.
EDIT - the Hampdens got sent earlier too
PQ18 still lost 33% of its ships though
A lot will depend on the German intentions -
China - they could have declared for the Germans in OTL but it wouldn't change a thing. In OTL Germans provided some support for one faction of the warlords who attempted to restore the monarchy but they failed. If they succeeded then it would just mean more civil war in China.
Iran - much of...
Nah, not buying it. Britain would be pissed but when they did lose they just picked up their toys and played somewhere else (ARW) or waited a generation ( 1st Boer War).
I don't doubt that Britain would aggressively compete with Germany but thats not revanchism its just SOP. Russia is the...
