No the Romans would use the brilliant tactic of recruiting them into the Roman army to forever remove them as a threat

>>2960949
If they had enough supplies (ammo, petrol) yes easily, assuming they aren't total idiots from having tiny brains and starve to death

no the romans had the tetsudo formation

The "criminals" shipped to Australia were often beggars, pickpockets, shoplifters, etc. Lumping those people in with murderers (who are shown to have low IQs on average) isn't accurate.

Why are you including Portugal? Iberian union was not a single country

3 is completely idiotic. Even if you could convince the Japanese to send their entire fleet to serve the interests of a completely different country, and you could get them across the entire fucking world to harbor in France or Germany or somewhere, and the Germans had the harbor and port capacity and supplies to host them (Remember, they didn't even have enough spare oil to let the Italian fleet roam freely, now we're talking another fleet that's enormously more massive), it wouldn't matter anyway, because the war in the Atlantic was more or less dominated by land based planes, and the combined carrier power of the Japanese aren't going to fend off hundreds of Spitfires escorting giant bombers with bomb-loads 6-7 times that of your little torpedo planes.

As for the other two, #1 is hardly clear that a nicer foreign policy would actually yield greater production fo war material, especially give how backwards places like China were, let alone anywhere else in the co-prosperity sphere. I doubt you'd be able to squeeze much more out other than hauling away raw materials for consumption in Japanese factories, and it would take a lot of time.

2) does show theoretical promise,e but gambling on the opponent's war weariness is necessarily risky, as you have no real way of gauging when the Americans are going to decide it's too much trouble. I don't really have the theoretical tools to gauge its effectiveness, and I honestly doubt anyone does.

Honestly the more i think about it, the more i think the real outcome was the best case scenario for the japanese.
#2 seems like the most probable outcome, without pearl harbor i highly doubt germany wouldve declared war on the United States, and it wouldve been very hard for Roosevelt to convince the American people to go to war with Germany. A declaration of war by the US on japan would seem a greater possibility, however the full might of the US would be directed against the japanese, most likely resulting in an earlier defeat.

He says while the U.S. had been fighting an undeclared war with Germany for months and polls consistently showed more and more of a public leaning towards intervention in Europe. It's not a question of if the U.S. gets involved in Europe, but when.

Carthage was a very powerful city state in Northern Africa, and their interests were threatened, especially around Sicily and central Mediterranean trade routes, by the rise of Rome. They fought two major wars, both of which Rome won pretty decisively, and paved the way for Roman dominance over North Africa, what's now Spain, and provided cassus belli for the immediately following war against the Macedonians, which would extend Rome's grasp further east.

>>2960598
So wait, why would a war against North Africans provide cause for a war against North Greeks?

they were Phoenician traders from the Levant and had some of the best naval skills at the time. Apparently the first conflict with Rome arose when both powers came to help a city which was attacked by some warlord and allied to both. The carthagians defeated the attacker and their general didn't let the Roman army move into the city. That's how the first punic war started (but in reality Rome probably just got too powerful). The Romans weren't experienced with naval warfare back then but quickly built up their navy by copying captured Carthagian ships. They also invented the corvus bording bridge to enter enemy ships, which Carthage wasn't able to find an appropriate countermeasure for, so Rome won. Carthage felt insulted (because they had to give up land & payments to Rome), so when they recovered the second Punic war happened. This time there was a lot of regular land warfare, especially after Hannibal invaded Italy coming from the Alps with a large army and even war elephants. He was an ingenius general and managed to defeat several Roman armies. After defeating and almost completely annihilating a much larger Roman army at Cannae, Rome was at the brink of collapse. To their luck, Hannibal didn't receive much support from his homeland and eventually had to return to Africa. After recovering, the Romans invaded Tunisia and defeated Hannibal at Zama under Scipio Africanus. Carthage had to give up huge areas and pay large amounts of money to Rome. Some time later, the Romans decided to finish Carthage off once and for all, layed siege to Carthage city, destroyed it, killed or enslaved the entire population and allegedly even poured salt on the ground so that nothing would grow there anymore. The Carthagian empire was incorporated as a province of the Roman republic.

Can't derive proofs without a distinction between true and false.

You can't not care. The fact that you even pose such a question reveals this.

>>2960641

I disagree, you CAN not care, but it's not easy or natural. Many respected philosophies are based around learning not to care, cf Stoicism and Buddhism.

-Axis makes puppets out of Soviet, France, and UK
-Communist rebels all across especially in colonies
-Without a war economy Fascists states liberalise and consign away most colonies
-World isn't terribly different except cold war is likely between Asia and the West (post fascist and Anglos) with Asia (China/Japan) funding decolonisation rebels in Africa and South America and west funding death squads
-Communism replaced with x bogey man in this universe

>>2960461
No. The Germans didn't even have the capability to decisively project force to Britain, let alone the U.S., which outproduced them and all of their european possessions combined even before the Germans started a war that wrekced the economies of places like France and Poland.

A war in which Germany "wins" is one where they beat the USSR (somehow), and set up an Atlantic warll that's too tough to break, since beach invasions are hard. Then, since they can't decisively strike at the west, they endure Western strategic bombing, probably for years, until Washington and London recogninse their conquests.

This Germany isn't going to be invading anyone for a long time. They're going to be rebuilding their cities, which have very probably been devastated with nuclear fire.

Sounds cool!

So works of media like Wolfenstein: The New Order (where parts of Europe look like Akira-esque Neo-Tokyos), are showing 'more or less' totally implausible scenarios (I sorta get that, lol, but still - it's a bit fun to wonder if the world in some ways would be prettier ***in some respects*** if the outcome was different!)

>The term behetría comes from the lower Latin benefactoría, through benefetria and benfectria. >Following the same Corominas, it is possible to be said that a behetría was "a population whose neighbors had right to choose its lord", choosing as such to whom it did them well; The peasantry that inhabits this population is called the Man of Behetry (homines of benefactoria) .
It looks like tiny republics to me.The titles were not inherited and anyone that won the election became the lord of their tiny republic.It is more democratic than most current countries desu
