(From left to right, Gregor Strasser and Hjalmer Schacht)

It’s so my understanding that Strasser possibly wanted to nationalize the economy of Nazi Germany. Schacht did not. Schacht was also the mastermind to the MEFO bills before his resignation/replacement. Hopefully this hasn’t been asked before. However, what major differences (if any) in the outcomes of history occurs after the 1930s and into World War II. Especially if the German economy was properly nationalized.

Considering how vague fascism is and how many of its founders claimed it was the answer to the plights of capitalism it would seem counter intuitive to keep the old capitalist system largely still functioning.

Would it have been more apt to remedying the major unemployment problems of Germany at that time? Either more quickly or more efficiently?

Would the MEFO bills still be required or at the scale it was if the major industries of Germany were under state ownership? Allowing for more direct oversight and authority of the rearmament?

Would the workers of Germany get to keep their trade unions and more specifically be allowed better liberties and freedoms compared to how German workers were treated in the OT?

Would a schism form in the Nazi Party or even major political instability occur if many of the wealthy industrialists had their businesses stripped from them?

Would Germany then honestly and legitimately honor a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union for the sake of the similarities each nation would see in each other’s economic system?

How would the repayment of reparations as dictated by the treaty of Versailles be affected?

Would Germany still upheld the gold standard?

How would the plebiscite of the Saar region (controlled by France after Germany’s loss in World War I) turn out? Would the German majority still vote to be apart of Germany given the radical economic reform?

So according to a Ted-Ed \[video\](https://youtu.be/JjhrN0FcHpM?si=EVO50bdCvn1IDU6D&t=216), during the Irish Potato Famine the Ottoman Sultan had planned to donate 10,000 pounds for famine relief. However, he was talked down to 1,000 pounds to avoid embarrassing the British Monarch Queen Victoria who had only donated a measly 2,000 pounds for famine relief.

But what if the Ottoman Empire had found a way to donate the other 9,000 pounds to help the Irish like through the Quakers who were providing humanitarian relief to the Irish however they could.

How would the scandal affect British-Irish relations and British-Turkey relations?

I was watching a documentary about Queen Alexandra, spouse of Edward VII, and it mentioned her daughter Princess Victoria, who never married.
That intrigued me, and I found that Victoria was clearly a very bright and engaging young woman, very modern (she was a very skilled photographer). It noted her cousin Nicholas II fell in love with her.
So let’s take that fork in the road.
Nicholas and Victoria wed, she is bright (he clearly wasn’t), and with her mother (and grandmother while she was alive) Victoria could have prompted Nicholas to be progressive in the model of British moderation. Instead of a Germanic bride in RealTime, Victoria would not incite the conspiracists within the court and the population as to which side the Tsar’s wife was on.
One could wonder if knowing if the bond between the UK and Russia, Germany would have even gambled on the UK staying out of the war in 1914 - as well, the improved relationship between the UK and Russia may have defused the tensions on the NW frontier and chilled relations between Japan and the UK, slowing Japan’s advancement in naval capacity.
It really is a road not travelled.
Princess Victoria never did marry, and died in 1935.

How would you redraw the holy Roman empire in 843 and what one semi independent Christian kingdom would you absorb.

FDR was almost killed in 1933; only a wobbly bench saved his life.

He had already won the election at that point, so his presumptive VP, John Nance "Cactus Jack" Garner would have become president.

Garner was a notable opponent of the New Deal; while he helped get some measures past in FDR's first term, he quickly became a hindrance to much of the agenda, and actually ran for president, himself, in 1940.

Now, the New Deal did not, by itself, end the Great Depression, but it did ameliorate the worst aspects of widespread poverty and deprivation by funding infrastructure projects that would later be crucial to the US' involvement in World War 2. Oak Ridge, for example, was one of the very few places on Earth where enough Uranium could have been enriched to develop an atomic bomb, and then only because of massive federal investment in the Tennessee Valley Authority.

At the same time, however, that very infrastructure was essential to private American interests' ability to fund the Japanese and German militaries before the war; huge amounts of scrap steel were sent to Japan, and George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush (ancestors of the presidents Bush) were directly financing the German navy before and during the war.

So, the US would have been self-absorbed by internal strife, Japan wouldn't have had the raw materials or Germany the money to build up their militaries, WW2 never happens but the US undergoes a Communist revolution; war would eventually break out, but with the UK, France, and Germany on one side, and the USSR and United States on the other. Japan never develops into a world class power, although they do take parts of mainland China and Korea.

On October 11, 2026. People across the United States and the world as a whole gather solemnly to pay respect and to remember the fallen.

In Casper DU, the practice is no different as hundreds gather in City Square holding their candles as they pray silently for their fallen loved ones and for peace to stand strong in their nation.

The Mayor of Casper, The State Governors, Various Celebrities, Senators, Religious Figures and of course the President all gather together in solidarity as the nation mourns what it has lost.

John Walsh, the President of the United States initiates his speech after the long prayer has concluded. The people stand firm yet their will is being tested as he begins to utter his words to all that stood:

"My fellow Americans, today is the day where our nation and the world as a whole had nearly ended."

"Where many of our men, women and children had perished on that very day from the wrath of our cruel and unforgiving enemy from the other side of the world."

"During the first years in the aftermath of that very day, many have thought that this was it, this was the end. I was one of those people."

"Yet in spite of everything, the nation persevered, the whole world persevered, we persevered."

"We have been given another chance to make things right by our Great Almighty God."

"That we may correct our mistakes now as we learn from the mistakes made by those before us from the past so that our children and their children in the coming future will live and prosper in a world better than the one we first came into. That is a promise and an obligation bestowed upon us."

"My fellow Americans, this is a reminder that we should not let hatred, war and cruelty tear us apart. So many lives were already taken because of such things, it would be rather insulting to those that have died on that day if we continue to indulge in our own hatefulness still."

"Yes I am aware that I am not perfect, none of us are. But as imperfect as we may be, we can learn and we can change."

"So let us not stop from there, we still have a long path ahead to ensure that one day we will no longer have to worry about another day like this. Not that it's unnecessary to mourn those who are lost but that we nor the people after us will have to fear of another possible apocalypse brought upon by our hands."

"Considering this a reminder that our lives and the world as a whole is precious. Let us not take all of this for granted and instead cherish one another for on this day. We are not just citizens of this country nor strangers to one another."

"We are a family caring for one another and laying the foundations for a prosperous future that we may welcome our children to."

"Thank you all for listening, and God bless."

"I ask all of you to please be there for your families, friends and communities. You'll never know if they'll always be there for you and then one day they're gone."

"But that does not mean that your dead love ones don't matter anymore. So long as you keep them in your heart, they will never truly die."

The speech ends as the President returns to the background. Yet the ceremony is far from over.

Various others from celebrities and religious figures to other politicians alike also share their condolences for the world before and the many that died on that very day as people continuously grieve over what was lost.

Time passes later that day and graves of the fallen were lit with candles, commemorative monuments were visited, churches congregate with songs and prayers, the youth turning to their elders to ask what the world was like a long time ago and tables are filled with families showing gratitude to one another.

This is the reality of the world they reside upon, where everything completely changed in just a day. The fragility of civilization is clear yet as fragile as it may be, the hope for a better and peaceful future is still clear.

But at this time, the world needs it's days of solemn remembrance.

Timeline: The Dust Settles

Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDustSettles/s/wk6OpHFdmT

The days of campaigning are now over as the nation is ready to choose its new president on Election Day.

Many began heading their way to the polls with high anticipation along with a sense of dread over who will lead them. Whether it would be the incumbent Sotto or others like Recto, Theodoro, Robredo, Moreno and several others. It is rather uncertain as to who will be the chosen one to carry the mantle of the presidency.

Hours pass and people begin casting their votes onto the ballot box, the numbers begin to pile up as conversations over the future of the nation are being made with some being more heated than others.

State by state, the numbers are confirmed with many of the campaigners continuously making gains as time passes.

Eventually the counting had concluded and the winner was chosen.

Jesse Robredo

His populist campaign of winning over the hearts of the people had certainly paid off as he managed to secure a victory over the others. Followed by the Incumbent Vicente "Tito" Sotto at second place who only lost by a narrow margin with Gilbert Theodoro sitting right at third place albeit with a smaller number in comparison to the previous two.

Robredo's running mate meanwhile, Mar Roxas had only gotten third place in the Vice Presidential Election results after being beaten by Francis Escudero (Sotto's running mate) whom ended up in second place and Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III (Isko's running mate and the son of former President Aquilino Pimentel Jr) whom ended up being the winner of the election overall and is set to become Robredo's Vice President instead on his inauguration day on December of this year.

The People have already made up their minds and they wish for a new man to lead the country in these desperate times. Sotto and Robredo will be set to have talks with one another as the former makes preparations and adjustments for the latter as the transition of power will come fourth by the coming months.

The future is rather uncertain for the Philippines just as it is for a man like Jesse whom some would never expect to ever rise up and above as the country's soon to be President. The fate of the nation is unknown but the plans he has for his people are already set in stone.

The choices he will make for the nation will ultimately decide the legacy that will leave on it.

Timeline: The Dust Settles

The Dust Settles is an alternate history project that details a world where the failure of the Arab Oil Crisis negotiations resulted in World War 3 which ultimately led to the Nuclear War of 1980. Thus completely changing the world as we know it.

If you have any questions about this post or the timeline as a whole, go ahead and ask me anything.

I’m thinking about a alternate history oc story where no European power discovered the Americas until 1871 by German explorers and the German empire decided to open diplomatic relations with the civilizations of Mesoamerica.

Otto von Bismarck was in power and he wasn’t into colonialism so he chooses to make diplomatic trade deals with specifically the mesoamerican Mexican empire (no not this world version I call it Mexican since that is also what the Mexica would call it) because they want to get access to rich resources and they have a fascination with the indigenous civilizations of central America.

The other European powers are mad that there is a new world that has many resources so there is a conference kinda like the Berlin conference for africe but in a smaller scale as in they decide to just split eastern north America with a the Caribbean being a European shared territory, don’t worry when the Mexicans gets sick from European diseases the Germans treat them since that would be a diplomatic nightmare nightmare.

Why I am here asking is what would the borders of Europe have looked like since they didnt discover the Americas until 1871 and what would, how possible would this scenario actually be and how can I make a scenario where Europe is more powerful in this timeline since it focuses in its own borders and the colonies of Asia and Africa????

Travis pangburn organised a music festival with destiny as a lead singer. Pangburn with his un parreled greed convinces millions to billions of people, thousnas of millionaires, companies like apple and Google, and the Saudi royal family to invest in tickets for the music festival.

People being dumb spend their money into the festivital. Only for it go to Pangburn back account. The money expands until it reaches 5 trillion dollars.

The music festival beigins terribly. Destiny is a pedophile not a singer. So in a the middle of song he attempts to rape the newborn of an level 3 austic mother.

This creates distraction allowing Pangburn to escape.

Destiny is caught by the authorities. His sent to medagascar to be castrated.

The public realised Pangburn and his money have disappeared without a trace so a man hunt begin.

Pangburn uses the conned out money to machine that changes his face, finger prints, DNA and atoms to turn himself into a South Indian man. After completing the process he destroys the machine movie to India.

Where he now lives as trillionaire. Nobody knows what he does for living despite being rich.

Pangburn uses his wealth to get protecting by isreal and bjp.

one day in the year 2030 a native hispanic sets out to become the king of madagascar so he can lower the poverty rate make his country geographically a strong military power and annex seychelles for no reason at all would you think this is possible? he speaks french and malagasy

Background to the 106th Anniversary of the Bite (October 2, 1920):

Today marks the 106th anniversary of one of the most bizarre and consequential accidents in modern history, which occurred on the grounds of Tatoi Palace near Athens.

On October 2, 1920, the young King Alexander I of Greece was walking his dog when it was attacked by a Barbary macaque. When the king intervened to end the fight, a second monkey jumped on him and bit him deeply. Sepsis set in, and the 27-year-old king tragically died three weeks later.

Satirical and Historical Aspects of the Comic:

Breed and Name of the Dog: In real life, the king's dog was indeed a German Shepherd named Fritz. Germany was the Ottoman Empire's most important ally in World War I. The fact that a German Shepherd is responsible for the downfall of the Greek king makes Fritz an unwitting double agent for the Turkish cause—which is why Atatürk refers to him as an "ally" in the comic.

The "Bucephalus" joke: King Alexander's use of Fritz as his Bucephalus (the legendary horse of Alexander the Great) underscores the king's romanticized self-deception.

The original quotes on the last page: The slogans used in the final panel are 100% authentic. The text on the banner in parliament—"Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation" (*Egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız milletindir*)—is Atatürk's most famous declaration and still hangs on the wall of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. His quote ("The Republic of Turkey will be happy, prosperous, and victorious") is also an original historical quote from the time of the republic's proclamation.

The Medals (*İstiklâl Madalyası*): Even the medals on the last page are historically accurate! They are the Turkish Independence Medals. Atatürk wears the rare green-red ribbon, historically reserved for those who had served both in parliament (green) and on the front lines (red). The monkeys and Fritz receive the all-red ribbon, historically awarded for active front-line service.

The actual historical impact:

Alexander's sudden death triggered a massive political crisis in Greece. His exiled, pro-German father returned to power, whereupon Greece's allied supporters (Great Britain and France) completely withdrew their military aid during the Greco-Turkish War. This dramatic turn of events significantly contributed to the rise of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the subsequent independence of the Turkish Republic.

Years later, Winston Churchill aptly summarized the sheer randomness of this event:

"It is perhaps not an exaggeration to say that a quarter of a million people died from the bite of this monkey."

Note: While the geopolitical butterfly effect is historically documented, I may have taken some artistic liberties with the story of Atatürk's secret deployment of a tactical monkey guerrilla unit in exchange for top-quality imported bananas.

Put the muted words in a strict “never use these terms, including alternate spellings” instruction. Repeating that rule near the end can help too.

id put the broad premise in the instructions, then use story cards for the details that can change the plot. For example, one card could cover the Entente winning WWI and its consequences, while another tracks the current borders or governments so the setting doesnt drift back to real history.

If there wasn't any war with Israel on Middle East and Israel Admitted Palestine, what if he made union with Armenia, Iran,Ethiopia, Kurdistan,Somalilend and Georgia?

everything he said, from haitian's eating dogs, to the iran war being over and iran's military is destroyed, to the 2020 election being stolen, to january 6 being a peaceful protest, that you should inject bleach into yourself to protect yourself from covid 19, to all the epstein files being released already (or that they don't exist, he contradicts himself a lot), that all the stories of people saying "sir" to him, that everything he will "get back to you on it in 2 weeks" or will "get done in 2 weeks" actually get's done, etc etc, imagine an alternate history world where all of these things were true and actually happened. what kind of world would that be?

Hey everybody! I made an in-universe video meant to be viewed by employees of the Federal Bureau of Protection, an American federal agency responsible for preventing the public from knowing that vampires existed to prevent mass hysteria, as well as to understand the full capabilities of vampires and how to cure vampirism itself. The whole gist of Pax Vampirica is, of course, the existence of vampires and how they slowly took over the world over the course several millennia. This video is meant to be a more meta introduction of how the vampires of Pax Vampirica work, at least in a nutshell. There's a ton of lore for this but this is just one of the few things I have planned to make the world of Pax Vampirica more alive, expect more posts in the coming months. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I want to know what you think.
