The timeline "A Hohenzollern Germany" creates a "perfect storm" of factors for such a Chinese Republic to arise starting with the 1894-1895 Sino-Japanese war being a Japanese victory as opposed to the draw it was as Cixi doesn't die in 1891 and Emperor Guangxu, unlike in OTL, isn't able to reform the Chinese state with his "Hundred Day Reformation" of 1898, analogous to his "Great Reformation" historically being squashed by conservative nobles led by Empress Cixi and the Boxers, unlike in our world, aren't nipped in the bud in 1899 and the resulting "Eight-Nation Intervention" leads to China being humiliated in the "Boxer Protocols", which both discredit the Qing dynasty and along with the fact Guangxu is poisoned when Cixi dies instead of dying of natural causes in 1933, ensures that Chinese modernizers turn to a Republic as the solution to China's bad years instead of the liberal constitutional monarchy they viewed as the solution to China's problems. It amazing how much detail the A Hohenzollern Germany" has but i find it strange that the author does not like empires verry much as all of the are turned into republics who do not take it lightly with liberty and democracy. |

Yea, the only exception is ironically, Britain, which historically became the first Communist nation with the royals fleeing to either Canada or Australia where they continue to claim the throne up to today, albeit half-heartedly along with the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Scandinavia. It also seems that the author of "A Hohenzollern Germany" also isn't fond of big empires as well with Austria-Hungary breaking up into many small states after WW1 and the Soviet Union doesn't stay in one piece after the fall of Communism in that world. Also, what do you think was the greatest victory the Sino-Russian armies achieved in WW2? Was it when the Russians and the Chinese destroyed an entire Japanese Area Army and devastated two others in "Operation Nurhaci", the offensive which drove the IJA out of Manchuria and opened the way for the Liberation of Korea?

Yes it is sad that only Canada, Australia, New Zeeland, Netherlands, Spain, Norway and Sweden recognize the British royal house in exile, you would think the Empire of Germany and the Empire of Russia both who had past family link with the British royal house would also do that but it seems that keeping relation with comminist is much more important to have ties with a once proud royal house who now is only head of Canada, Australia and New Zeeland and the islands of the Falklands, Gibraltar. Malta, Crete Bahamas,Fiji and the crown colonies of Hong Kong, Honduras and Guiana. |

It's a bit strange that China didn't take over Hong Kong during the British Civil War but declassified documents suggest that China considered such an action but was rejected by a narrow vote of the Cabinet. Also, what do you think of the relatively lenient terms Japan recieved after WW2 which included Japan being allowed to retain what remained of it's navy (4 carriers, 6 Battleships in lncluding the deadly Yamato and Musashi, 5 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, and 60 destroyers) and Taiwan but had to pull out of mainland Asia and pay some reparations to China and Russia? Are they the reason that Japan is a loyal US ally in the Far East?

Are they the reason that Japan is a loyal US ally in the Far East? Of course they where allowed to keep their navy that was intact after the war, it was the Imperial Japanese Navy that was the reason why the peace happen as they where never happy with either the war in China and the rest of Asia which they consider a army matter, it was also the Imperial Japanese Navy who launched the coup under the leadership of admiral Yamamoto that overthrew Tojo and his gang after the Battle of the Marianas and it was admiral Yamamoto who as prime minster made peace with the United States , these days it is the Imperial Japanese Navy and its two service, the Imperial Navy Air Service Navy and Imperial Marine Corps (model after the the United States marine corps) that are the only active force protecting the Empire of Japan after the Imperial Japanese Army as part of the peace deal was disbanded. Also part of the Japanese-United states peace deal in 1945 (OOC: is that the correct year as it is before the end of the war in Europe) the United States is allowed to station 50,000 men in the empire divided over Formosa, Okinawa and mainland Japan itself, this is done to make sure no one in Japan gets crazy ideas and to show that the United States is a friend who will defend Japan when needed. |

Yea, Tojo and co deserved their just desserts for the rampage of mass murder they unleashed on Asia, especially on China, where a total of 9 million Chinese civilians and 3 million Chinese soldiers died in WW2 due to the IJA's brutality. Also, I think the Manila concert the trio held was very good and their meet and greet was very good and even though my first thought was "Did they learn from what happened to Justin Bieber (OOC: Good riddance) and Lorde who were shot to death in meet and greets" which was silenced when I saw the tight security in the entrance to the meet and greet I said "At least they have learned". I got my Katy Perry poster autographed along with my Selena Gomez cap and my Christina Grimmie T-shirt as well. BTW, what do you think was the greatest victory the Sino-Russian armies, under the overall command of Marshal Zhang Xueliang achieved in the Chinese front of WW2?

The Manchuria and Korea campaigns are the greatest victory as in those two campaigns the smashed and destroyed what remain of the Imperial Japanese Army allowing the Imperial Japanese Navy to launch it coup with out fear of the army trying to stop them. |

Yes, the IJA's tanks were jokes compared to the T-34 and the TA tanks the Sino-Russian alliance used in Operation Nurhaci and Operation Yi, the liberations of Manchuria and Korea respectably. Also, so, how much of a threat do the rogue states of Democratic Tawantinsuyu (OOC: basically a Khmer Rouge-esque regime in Peru) and the People's Republic of Burma pose to the world along with the "National Republic of Nigeria", which has been called the "Last Fascist State on Earth" pose to the world?

Are they not according to Reichkanzler Sigmar Gabriel part of a Alliance of Evil and that the world should unite in order to counter them. |

It seems that the British are keeping "Democratic Tawantinsuyu" and the People's Republic of Burma afloat because they are fellow communists and provide resources for the Federation of Workers Republics even though their communist regimes are batshit crazy with "Democratic Tawantinsuyu" killing 40% of it's population ever since the "Shining Path" took over Peru in 1991 and Burma's regime venerates Ne Win as a "Buddha on Earth", threatens India, China, Malaya, and Vietnam constantly with nuclear war, and constantly purges "insufficiently revolutionary" party cadres (read: people who propose economic reforms and slight liberalization of the government. As for Nigeria, no one is stupid enough to mess with a regime that has as many as 80 nuclear weapons and could fire them as far as Madrid, Paris, Munich, Vienna, and Constantinople.

Do not forget that the regime in control of Nigeria is fighting one of the most deadliest and longest civil wars on the planet against Muslims who are supported by the ASU. |

What crazy communist regime do you think is crazier? Burma or Peru? I think Peru is crazier for the Burma Socialist Programme Party may be batshit crazy and a threat to their neighbors but at least they haven't killed 40% of their population for being "bourgeois urbanite parasites".

You are right, Peru communist regime is more extreme the Burma one, and the only country in region that can do any thing about it is the Empire of Brazil but they let Peru regime do what they want to do because Brazil fears what could happen if the Peru regime collapse and chaos would brake out as a result which as a result would drag Brazil in/ |

Well, the Republic of Chile and the Confederation of Bolivia are also willing to invade Peru but they are afraid of the possibility that the Shining Path regime has weapons of mass destruction and have successfully brainwashed the younger generation of Peruvians into becoming mindless slaves of the Peruvian government.

You think that will happen, it could also be the other way around and that the people will turn against the Peruvian regime as soon as the feel that the outside world is coming to their aid, but you are right, as long as the Empire of Brazil, Republic of Chile and the Confederation of Bolivia do nothing for fear of a Great South America war than it will mean that Peru can keep on oppressing it people. |
