Germany joins the Allies
How does WW2 play out?

>>3241448
In both scenarios, the communist filth of an ideology is wiped out from the face of this earth.

>>3241444
Why would the US join the Axis? You have to go back and explain this. You can get a military coup into a fascist-ish dictatorship in the 1930s, but such a state would still likely be friendly towards Britain and hostile towards Japan.

>>3241448
So uh the entire world against Italy and Japan?

yes he would have literally crowned every man in America and given them titles

in Huey Long's America, instead of 'Mr. ___', you would address others as 'King ___'

because some empires aren't big enough for 2 people to rule. most empires prefer just 1 ruler.

>>3241237
There still is separation of powers in basically all government systems.

>>3241274

But there are no co-presidents.

>saw Mexico fail in open field battles and succeed in guerrilla warfare and learns nothing from it

if he did, and the Confederates fell back into a bushwhacking/guerrilla campaign, shit would be real messy into the 1870s

Gorilla warfare is most effective when you have a conventional army as well, to distract the attention of the enemy and keep them occupied as their rear is annihilated.

That said, Lee is indeed overrated as a general.

>>3241220
guerrilla warfare only works if you are fighting enemies with some humanity and morals
this was not the case with the Union

I was always under the impression they were seen as somewhat of a front runner and never fully invested until they saw a winning side emerging.

I think they were also previously aligned with AH and Germany prior to the breakout of war.

They were basically the guy on the side who yells world star while two other guys fight - that doesn't net you much cache at the bargaining table.

>>3241130
Italy had an alliance with AH & Germany but claimed they didn't have to honour the alliance because AH declared war on Serbia first

>>3241120
At the bargaining table after the war, Italy's represrntative, Orlando, embarrassed the nation but whining like a cry baby at how she deserved more for her minor efforts in WWI than what she got. Lloyd George even said something to the effect that if his children had acted how Orlando did, they would have been spanked.

Also want to mention that Italy started the war being a part of the Triple Alliance and didn't have the same industrial capacities as France, Germany or the UK so wasn't considered a major player.

>>3240980
Probably not since various European powers, including Ottomans, are going to attack them from all sides of Africa.

>>3240980
ASB

>>3240980
It might depend on if the African empire could stay unified long enough to ward off Europeans. Although even if it was, I doubt it could considering the Opium wars in which Britain defeated the rather solid Qing dynasty.

I find it amusing that Brain draws the wrong conclusions from his "meticulous analysis of history".

1: You absolutely need world alliances if you wish to conquer the world. Cleopatra committed suicide after Mark Antony (one of the leaders of the belligerent factions during the Last War of the Roman Republic and her lover) was killed in battle (Antony also had married Octavian's sister but continued his affair with Cleopatra, which strained tensions in the Triumvirate and got Cleopatra dragged down when Antony was). Largely, Cleopatra wasn't ambitious enough or present enough in Rome to match Octavian's efforts, and didn't identify which alliances would benefit her most. Allies are largely what got her so far in the first place. Shunning world alliances to try to command everyone's appliances would be a disastrous mistake.

>>3241005
2: Hannibal is one of antiquity's foremost military commanders. He lost in the end not because of any tactical error involving war elephants, but because the loss of support for the war back in Carthage and the attritive, guerrilla tactics the Romans used against him combined to gradually wear down his army until it was incapable of securing a major victory. If anything, Hannibal should be a lesson that you can't win a war without the support of your people back home to pay for and supply your armies in the field. In this case, Brain is correct that he can and should use the television to be admired if he wants to be successful, but in incorrect is discarding the foremost weapons of the time in favor of exclusively having popular support and political power (which contrasts with his conclusion from Cleopatra: that alliances and political maneuvering are unimportant to world conquest.) He's also wrong, in the facts anyway, since Hannibal more than made it past the Roman Sentinels, marching his army to attack from an unexpected direction and securing quick victories early on. It was only once he lost support for the war that things really went south.

When the financiers, banksters and other practicioners of the Jewish sciences realized it would be the best method by which to turn the world into a giant bazaar. Some time between 1900 and 1990.

>>3240573
Cont. basicallt peasants are retarded and don't know what's good for them. "Democracy" (aka rule by marketers) certainly isn't. But the mercantile class had largely convinced them that it is, and that's why we are where we are today.

Because le positivist view of history.

Popular governments resembling didn't "start" in greece. In fact that shit was everywhere and existed in some form over time.

Ok sure you had Greek City states. But also
>Italic City State republics
>Carthage was a fucking republic
>Medieval City State Republics
>Medieval chartered cities whose citizens were ruled via a representative democracy in a council
>Chinese villages and towns meeting in Kongsis (Clan Halls) where every male members of every family decided on matters.
>Village Councils in Japan

The problem with democracy is for the longest time, it was too fucking small a government structure to do anything beyond the city-state level. Modernity and assorted 18th and 19th Century memes(Rights of Man = fostered franchise and participation in government as part of their rights. Nationalism = fostered that members of a meme nation have to get a say on how they are governed) only allowed for democracy to be as widespread as it is today.

Truly underrated.

For both WW1 and WW2 if the USA had had Republicans in office it would have leaned towards Germany or remained neutral.

The US government was already inching closer and closer to getting involved in the European Theater, that's why Hitler was quite happy to have them enter the war so he could launch Operation Drumbeat and hit the previously neutral ships supplying Britain

We were probably still sore over the Zimmerman Telegraph.

But... I'm a Nazi too. That would mean... I'm as smart as the most important philosopher of the 20th Century, if not more intelligent.

Heidegger isn't important people just thought he was

>>3240200
Care to elaborate?
He virtually created Existencialism and was proto-structuralism(Derrida's deconstruction term comes from Heidegger's destruction)
He also ended Gnosiology.

Thats maybe how it works for Amerimutts, to Europeans this is just plain bullshit.

Probably because both of them were white, had the same religion, spoke the same language, and lived in the same place

Berber, Latin, mainland celts
