This is just a thought, but i was wondering how the Entente could survive post second Weltkrieg. After seeing what a reclaimed France and Britain could do (in focus trees and events) it doesnβt seem likely they would survive after conflict ended, regardless if they entered a Cold War with Germany or Russia. The French and British were reduced to their sparsely populated colonies for around 2 decades. Neither Canada nor the 3rd republic would have the right amount of manpower (canada has less than 10 million people at game start while britain has 44 million, for example) to enforce their rule if they were restored to their homeland, not to mention the incoming migration of exiles which would stir up even more controversy, as well as the sudden transition of forcing lands that were taken from exiled back into the hands of the exiles would not sit well with the people of Britain and France. For Britain it would be harder, arguably, since Canada is a whole ocean away, and it would take decades before actual pacification of the population could take place. Depending on which government is restored, I also donβt think the people of Red France and the British Union would be happy (Britain especially) if the royal family was restored to the mainland. For France it might be easier if they were a social democracy or social liberal democracy, but the 3rd republic, to me would still be authoritarian in their enforcement of the republic on the mainland. Even if Britain and France fall to the Entente, I doubt France could keep their colonies, depending on what losses they suffered during the second Weltkrieg. It seems likely that, in the case of an Entente victory, realistically, the nations in the alliance would go through stagnation in the 50s-60s before possibly falling to revolution once again in the 70s. Republican France and Great Britain simply donβt have the resources, men nor time to pacify their reconquered lands in time to stop resentment of the people who lived there during syndicalist rule from boiling over into revolution once again. And since syndicalism was actually successful economically for the people of Britain and France who knows what re-privatizing the economy and bringing back capitalism would do.
Hello guys.
i heard about this scholarship were the Croatian government is giving which is basically learning Croatian and getting a free accommodation and food, it says that foreign people who have a Croatian friend can apply for this program, now after looking into the government website i couldn't find a place to apply at all (http://www.hrvatiizvanrh.hr/) it is written in Croatian and not English which i had hard time looking for the application, so is there anyone who done this? and can you guide me on this please
I've tried two strategies of defending and quickly going into their territories,both kinda failed. They have more manpower,more industry,a mechanized, two tank division and a good infantry template, meanwhile i got fuckall industry,can barely get my divisions fully equipped and supposed to start the war not even a year after a civil war
I want to learn more about the political/cultural environment in late Weimar Republic β transition to Third Reich Germany. I'm particularly interested in learning about the specific narratives, stories, stances on issues, talking points, rhetoric, etc that were popular among conservatives and other right-wing Germans of the time as evinced in newspapers, newsletters, transcripts (speeches, radio personalities), etc. I am also interested in the specific stances/talking points popular among moderate and left-wing people at the time, thought it isn't my main focus at the moment.
If I wanted to get really research-y I could probably dive into archives of German newspapers at the time, but my big limitation here is that I don't speak German. So short of learning German, I figure my best chance is 1) some kind person lecturing to me on the topic or 2) some person(s) already wrote a book(s) on the topic.
I've read a couple books about the fall of Weimar Germany / rise of the Nazis in order to gain a better understanding of the situation. They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 by Milton Mayer did provide a lot of the very general type of insight I'm seeking, but that's a single book with a narrow focus (conversations with individuals) and one published in 1955 and lacking the context of the understanding of events and factors that has developed in the proceeding decades.
The Death of Democracy: Hitler's Rise to Power and the Downfall of the Weimar Republic by Benjamin Carter Hett was great for gaining a general understanding of what went down, but generally kept moving quickly through a sprawling narrative in order to best convey a complicated series of events in a reasonable amount of words and didn't spend much time dwelling on the specific stances, talking points, etc being circulated at the time in the political/cultural 'biome'/body of discourse of 'every day' right-wing Germans.
So I'm left wanting a fuller understanding of the cultural atmosphere - including specific, popular lines of thought, propaganda/media/media personality talking points, etc, as part of a larger effort of understanding the acceptance and/or endorsement of the nazis among the segments of the German population who did so. Like: what was the opinion section of the popular conservative newspapers like at the time? What sort of rhetoric was employed? And of the material that has been translated to English or can quickly be done so - where do I
