After witnessing American military superiority

>>1098117
The Franco-American alliance was pretty much secure until the French Revolution and I doubt Britain wanted to fight France and America at the same again.

Americans considered themselves part of the "British Race" right up until the early 20th century, then the notion of multiculturalism made it very unpopular to be a "Anglo-American"

Cecil Rhodes always haboured the fantasy that America would re-join with Britain in some kind of union.

Britain is a tumultuous falling Rome, America is their thriving Eastern Empire

Nah he had nothing to be scared of

Was Franklin Delano Roosevelt a naziphobe?

Well, he certainly was scared of Muslims, considered they conquered Spain and were after his ass.

Just like Polish nobles would be smart to fear the Mongols, considered they had that great army that conquered everything in his path.

Yes, they are, since they treat human beings and their hopes and dreams as coordinates on a graph.

About 20 million more soviet citizens would be alive.

The German war economy would have tanked btw.

They were quite cuddly with one another prior to 1941.

They disagreed politically, but that isn't an inevitable causation to pick a fight with a fuckhuge world power.

"There are a lot of people who say that bombing can never win a war. Well my answer to that is that it has never been tried yet and we shall see. Germany, clinging ever more desperately to her widespread conquests and even foolishly seeking for more, will make a most interesting initial experiment."

t. Arthur Harris

>>1097436

And he was wrong. Bombing didn't win the war, certainly not in the way Harris thought of it, by smashing enough of the country that you'd have a "moral collapse" and an overthrow of the Nazi party from the German people.


What's more, you have Churchill pointing out that the German strat bombing didn't induce such panic in the British, and therefore there was little reason to assume it would work in reverse. That's hardly a ringing endorsement of Harris's strategy, at which point it makes you wonder why he kept backing it.

>>1097333
Prior to June 1941 it was essential for Churchill to maintain his Prime Ministership. Post June 1941 it was essential for Churchill to maintain Soviet friendship.

The cabinet also had an incredibly poor understanding of the importance of Coastal Command to the war.

Who? Why? How? When? Where?

I'm very busy.

Probably if I had too. Its not that hard.

Id think about it every night though and worry about vengeance

ITT OP confuses could would should and ought.

It began with the Mycenaeans conquering and sleeping with the Minoans.

>>1097338
Nah, it would begin with the conception of the Minoan civilisation, not the downfall.

They cut the trees down, the island used to be covered in palms just like other Polynesian islands. A lot of what we know about them is sensationalised, the story of the Bird Man for example, sad truth is they were probably doing just fine before contact, they were genocided, then enslaved, then "civilised", genocided again, and finally abandonded back on their island, with little or nothing of their traditions still alive.

Ultimately, the big statues have been something of a salvation for them, because of the tourism $$$ they bring in and the archeological study they provoke that has re-learned so much of their ancient traditions.

Perspectivism

I'm not sure why that thought experiment bugs so many people. It's just underscoring a fundamental limitation of our perceptions.

>>1096743
because it is misused by fedoras who like to claim we are in the matrix

Woah, cool. Why did you take on this project?

Just boredom, really. One weekend in February was especially dull and I figured I might as well do something productive.

On another topic, what is your favourite Freddie quote?

Mine would probably be the one with the abyss, but also the one in the pic:
>What is there to my suffering, or my pity? Do I strive for happiness? I strive for my work (i.e. opus)!

>Poland mobilizes army quicker, it has 60 divisions ready to repel the Soviet attack
>Germany prepares for France as intended
>German-Polish European union, only two languages German and Polish

>>1095790

i always make sure i puppet or befriend poland when playing as germany in HOI3. them and holland.

it tickles my charlies to imagine panthers and pz iv's in polish markings storming across the steppe and u-boat pens in java hosting german wolf packs against the nips to the north and strayans to the south.

Just homologous to keikakku
