If the United States had followed a strict noninterventionist foreign policy, it is likely that the intra-European conflict would have ended in late 1916 or early 1917 as the result of several peace initiatives, most notably by the Austrian Emperor Charles I. Moreover, the war would have been concluded with a mutually acceptable and face-saving compromise peace rather than the actual dictate. Consequently, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Russia would have remained traditional monarchies instead of being turned into short-lived democratic republics. With a Russian Czar and a German and Austrian Kaiser in place, it would have been almost impossible for the Bolsheviks to seize power in Russia, and in reaction to a growing communist threat in Western Europe, for the Fascists and National Socialists to do the same in Italy and Germany.

>>76468786
Not too sure what your point is here. That it was replaced with something worse? Maybe, but you've got to factor in the insane cost of rebuilding something the old way.

It's why modern architecture is all glass and steel. Lots of people would like to do things the old way, but the combination of insane material cost, labour cost, and overall effort makes it unfeasible.

Were Poland's cities really rebuilt as well as the memepics would have me believe? They seem to be reconstructed almost perfectly compared to a lot of German cities. I find it odd that Communists would do a better job at reconstructing old cities than the West. Although I suppose Poland was a lot less urbanised than Germany so reconstruction wouldn't be on as large a scale, and so would be more feasible.

>>76468759
I dislike excessive clutter, especially knowing that it would go unwashed for years on end and start getting dark because of the street smog
Ground and First floor were good, anything past the second is unnecesary imo

>>76468808
We had to invade because you forced a war upon us. You tried to create an offensive alliance against us to keep your naval supremacy. If you hadn't intervened, the French would have backed down and Russia would've been our ally.
You destabilized the continent under the disguise of a balance of power, while you actually but it off balance.

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. The new one still looks nice but the old one is definitely better as you say. I love the paintings on them.

Well, I think that the European cityscape is beutiful

This isn't too bad. When documentation on destroyed building is insufficient, trying to rebuild it in presumed exact form can inflict more damage on architectural strata than a modern - albeit stylized - placeholder.

Elbląg/Elbing[in Krautspeak] had its old town razed in 90% as the eastern front progressed. There were no plans nor sufficient photographic documentation, hence the decision to preserve urban structure and its function rather than architectural detail.

Only a few. Warsaw's old town could only be rebuilt because pre-war architecture students would be tasked with architectural documentation works in that area as per their curriculum.

You keep importing Hindudindus and Pakis as a homage to your Empire, so you lose regardless of what happens to the continent. :^)

Thanks for the balanced viewpoint, /pol/

More likely they just couldn't fucking afford to get it to the previous condition (and keep it like that, upkeep costs money).
