What if the UK fractured during the 1970’s, instead becoming the “British Union”? Each nation functioning independently from one another, but sharing the same currency. How would it look today?

What if the Judenzählung Census of 1916 had been published?

The Judenzählung was a 1916 German census of its Jewish soldiers, ordered amid antisemitic accusations that Jewish Germans were avoiding the frontline.

The census concluded that Jewish soldiers were over-represented in their service during WWI.

The census was barred from publication.

Attempting to write a WWI children’s book title (middle-grade/school curriculum age). Is there a hidden history or amazing fact about the conflict that should be added?

- Kaiser Willhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II and King George V were all cousins!

- Gavrilo Princip prepared for his assassination attempt by shooting his pistol in a local park!

- To hide the development of the new armored vehicles from spies - British officials called them "water tanks", telling factory workers they were building mobile water. The name stuck!

Is this an official political post from Plaid? Or a mock? I know it’s a take on the Miliband/Salmond poster from ages ago 🤣

Dewi Sant, Owain Glyndwr and Aneurin Bevan?

I’d throw in a couple of plaques for ol’ Paul Robeson and David Ivon Jones too.
