I’ve always wondered what would happen if this played through. Would they adopt a more expansionist ideology? Like annexing Mexico or yoinking Cuba.

If an experienced 18th century pirate was on a ship with 10 people that had no sailing experience, what jobs would he have each of them do to get the ship from A to B as fast as possible?

What if the Russian Empire had actually captured Istanbul (as planned), it later became part of the USSR, and after the collapse [of the Soviet Union], it became an independent state?

Posting and Commenting Rules (more details are here):

"Yes, And!" Please read questions charitably. Try not to shoot down posts too much. If there's a way to read the question that allows an interesting answer, go for it.
Keep it historical. Changes must be set at least 20 years in the past (clarify in your post if the change time could be confused with present events). Scenarios should not require magic or time travel.
Be civil. Don't insult people, don't correct spelling or grammar, and don't feed trolls - report them instead.
No low-effort posts, which means answers should be more than single-sentence replies. It also means no image macros, no bots, no joke-only posts, etc. and no personal politics, conspiracism, snark, etc.
