Altered Maps 4: Partitioning Eastern Europe Like In The Good Old Days

[Winner]

I look forward to reading that work of fiction. Eventually

You'll be surprised to find that Russia is not necessarily evil in this scenario

 

[Virote_Considon]

I'll eagerly be awaiting it, too!

Somebody has to be evil in a scenario. Alors? Who is it?

 

[Squonk]

Probably the Roma, knowing Winner

Bloody dirty Romanians.

The Poles Arguably, it was them who started the war by overestimating their position when they intervened in Belarus. As a result, Poland will become the main battlefield of the war with expectable consequences for the Polish infrastructure

Poland has infrastructure? I thought it had windy roads designed by the Soviets with the express purpose of keeping the rabbit-like Poles population in check.

500 AD- alt-history map.

The Xianbei, Toba, Xiongnu, and other tribes invaded two hundred years earlier. Now they have established kingdoms whose people are hybrids between the nomadic invaders and already-settled Chinese. The old kingdom, taken over by the Qi, still exists in the South but is very weakened. In this time, Buddhism sweeps through the north and south, with the north accepting Vajrayana Buddhism and the south accepting Theravada Buddhism.

Here's the map. Hopefully it'll have updates.

I doubt Poland would ever intervene in Belarus, unless Belarus would start mass-killing the polish minority, which it won't do.

Which means...?

Russians definitely had to have good maps of the country since they crushed it in 12 days...

It intervened to help the freedom-loving Belorussians throw away the shackles of oppression, of course Unfortunately for Poland, the whole thing backfired and triggered the Russian fears of Western encirclement and subversion. Eventually, they decided that a quick war to humiliate the Europeans would serve their interests and prevent further Western interference with their sphere.

What year is this set?

Undetermined, sometime in the next decade. I want to avoid all the nitpicking that would inevitably follow if I set up a fixed date - and I'll be able to update it as time goes on For this reason I also plan to use largely fictional characters.

Poor Putin, I'll have to kill him...

British propaganda regarding German territorial ambitions in the First World War.

Spoiler map :

 

[Winner]

Well, it isn't that far from the truth. Germany wouldn't directly annex all these territories, obviously, but I don't see anything totally impossible on that map (except perhaps for Albania )

EDIT: Oh yes, and the eastern border of the German sphere is too deep in Russia.

 

[Dachs]

I basically agree. By 1917 the German state kinda had to justify the war through vast territorial acquisitions or support would totally collapse at home.

 

[Godwynn]

But Finland and Caucasus?

 

[Dachs]

Like he said, not direct annexation - Finland would probably get a Hohenzollern ruler like the projected Kingdom of Poland. Caucasus...maybe. Ottomans did have the Army of Islam ready to dispatch there, and according to that map they haven't gotten jack.

 

[Winner]

But Finland and Caucasus?

Both became practically independent when Russia collapsed in 1917/18. Finland would definitely be in German sphere as a client state. Post-Russian countries like Belarus or Ukraine would probably be little more than German protectorates as Germans had historically kept hundreds of thousands of men there even when the fighting at the Western front was hardest during the 1918 spring offensives.

Ukraine would be especially important since the food production in Germany was insufficient to feed the country.

 

[Godwynn]

Good enough for me, you two know more about it than I.
