Corsica rightfully belongs to Italy anyway.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh not really, the entire reason they lost the island was the Corsicans hating the Italians and leading an independence war. Corsicans tend to still dislike Italians.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok but have you considered that it just looks weird on a map to have Sardinia and Corsica split between different countries? Haha.

I'm being facetious of course, thank you for providing that historical tidbit, i confess i am not the most educated on the history of Corsica.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

That first point makes sense, though I think its a bit goofy to have them split.

Also no worries about the history! Long story short, it used to belong to the Republic of Genoa who had a very goofy looking map,

A few hundred years later Corsica rose up against the Italians and the Italians requested the French militaries help. After the conflict ended the French just took it as repayment for their help.

I still see Western Europe existing and Ireland not united

well Ireland is in western Europe

[–] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why are Switzerland, TERF Island, and Sweden still there?

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why is western Europe still there

Portugal and Ireland seem somewhat ok.

[–] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Please define Western Europe

As a French I can confirm I'd rather be a fish

The history of Islam would be very different. North Africans could also maybe have a chance to explore the new world. Maybe the lack of assistance of the french would have made it difficult to expel all Muslims and Jews from Spain. That difference in culture might have impacted how acceptable it was for Spain to brutalize the peoples of the new world. With French colonization impossible, perhaps Germany would have colonized Africa in its place, for they have alot more coastline. Unfortunately Belgium and the UK still exist so, all that bullshit would probably still happen.

I don't know if this would be a "better" world, but it would be interesting to see how it played out.

perhaps Germany would have colonized Africa in its place

The germans did partially colonise africa the Kaiser commited a genocide in east africa

UK would have risen to be global hegemon even faster I fear, considering the French were their foil for so long

[–] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Honestly, why not the whole of Europe?

[–] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Poland is not a big after nuke crater, TERF island still exists, Denmark still exists

Yeah ok, what the fuck is this?

It’s not perfect, dreams rarely are😔

[–] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

TERF island would be so much better without the influence of the Fr*nch.

Only after the Norman invasion though. Anglos are just North (French)men in my made up ethnography.

the anglo saxons with no norman influence is basically just lowland scotland (aka most scottish people)

What’s your beef with Denmark? What makes us so special in comparison to the rest of Europe or other imperialist countries in general?

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Britain and Denmark ok we can take it no one actually discriminates against us. But lay off the Poles that's a fucked up thing to say

Why is French Basque Country and French Catalonia gone as well? At least Corsica remains.

It’s been banished for being too mean to me last Sunday

Bring back Biarritz and attach it to an independent Basque Country and you have my support

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize what was happening here lol

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

That's because your mind has done the right thing already.
