Thanks Winner and Tailless

I had no idea a Kurdish homeland could potentially be that big.

Map #3 is treading on rather thin ice since the western regions would include areas where Turks or Arabs are the majority. Map #4 is blatantly cheating by including Lur and Arab areas in Iran and Syria as Kurdish. Too bad the link to the map showing the Greek-Kurdish partition of Turkey is broken.

However, even if the Kurdish state is limited to the orange on map #2, it will still end up with sizable areas of Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, the source of the Tigris, the Murat, Lake Van, the western shore of Lake Urmia, the eastern bank of the Euphrates, a massive oil deposit near Kirkuk, and around 30 million people.

Biggest nation without a nation, IIRC

Tibet?

 

[Karalysia]

Tibet was once a mighty and glorious Empire and I say that with complete seriousness. During the 700-800's Tibet was powerful and fought the Tang dynasty on more than one occasion, Tibetan power is said to have streached as far as Kabul before being overthrown by the Abbasaids where a Tibetan govenor was installed, and I'm not sure about Bengal or Burma there's no record of Tibet owning that area.

It looks as those Bengal may have been some kind of vassal based on some other maps on Wiki. It is mentioned more than a few times in the article but no information on how it was conquered or governed. I don't see a word on Burma and am very skeptical of them ever ruling it.

One could make a fairly weak argment for Montenegro being part of a greater Serbia too.

Not really that weak. I've only been there for two weeks or so, but it was pretty hard to spot any differences between them and the Serbs; they're clearly not a separate ethnic group, at least not as I understand the situation.

I wonder why you'd speak up so vehemently for Tibetan imperial power...

Karalysia, do I know you?

Also screw the Kuds, give back all that area to the Armenians. Armenians > Kurds

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Who are the "Kuds"?

 

[aronnax]

This should be easy. What is the Point of Departure?

Map of Europe 1920

 

[Tani Coyote]

Mmm... just after World War I, so... the Russians Soviets invade and annex Poland, as a part of their Civil War/the Polish-Soviet War? In addition to all the other things. Basically a proto-Stalin foreign policy was already in effect.

Biggest nation without a nation, IIRC

Yup 50 million of them. They deserve a state of there own as much as the Jews did 60 years ago.

 

[choxorn]

They also retook The Baltics and Finland, some of Slovakia and Turkey, Bessarbia, and Danzig.

Also, Czechoslovakia has some of Silesia, which should be German, and Romania has some what should be Bulgaria.

I had noticed all those too, but I guess Poland just took my attention for SOME reason.

and Danzig.

But Danzig was taken as part of Pol-

Oh waiiiit. Danzig, not Gdansk...

 

[Tee Kay]

Also, Crete is Turkish.

Also, Crete is Turkish.

Considering I found that odd while playing AoI 4.0, I'm surprised I didn't find that... You've got good attention to details, to say the least, tailless.

Off-topic, but would you happen to know who wrote the article on me on DYOSwiki, and put it that I make a bunch of historically implausible maps? I thought that was a rather funny bit for somebody to add.

Atleast you remembered this time.
