What if France rejected Appeasement and attacked Germany anyway in 1938 as Pre-Emptive strike?

I know France in 1938, was deeply divided to make a coherent foreign policy and dealing with economic problems but imagine for since 1933 they actually doubled their defense spending and thus in this one instance the entire French Republic agreed that Germany was up to no good thus encouraged Czechoslovakia to fight against Germany and prepared for war mobilization regardless of what Britain said. How would this changed the trajectory of the War? Would Britain quickly follow suit and how the Soviets would react as they are tepidly allied with Czechslovakia even though Poland is not allowing Soviet troops to pass

What if 1953 Egypt became Communist?

What if the Egyptian Free Officers Movement of 1953 was actually composed of genuine Leninists that wanted to dismantle and implement a Leninist style planned economy, import substitution industrialization and nationalization of all private property under the state?

Theoretically lets imagine the Egyptian state does manage to repress its bourgeoisie classes, how different would Egypt's economic development be as it tries to industrialize against its rivals like Israel, Syria, Jordan and the like?

How would Alexander III of Russia handle 1905-1914 countdown to First World War?

Okay imagine if Alexander III of House Romanov was Tsar/Emperor of Russia until 1917 how different would the Russian Empire's internal development and geopolitical ambitions be as they will still form their alliance with France to contain what the rising ambitions of Germany

Economically industrialization would still happen but the change is that Alexander III is way more forceful, ruthless and stubborn than his son is enforcing autocracy so I am curious how woudl this go for Russian domestic politics and European balance of power.

Is anyone tired of the pop culture references?

I don't know but it seems a ridiculous for a series that never goes 18+ above to reference mature pop cultural media like ASOIAF and the like because there seems to be an extreme tonal clash reading a YA novel that references a more extreme graphic works.

When do you predict Brunei will really economically decline?

I feel like by 2030, there would be mass migration of young Bruneians born in the 2010s to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia but really speaking how serious would the brain drain be and would the state do anything different to prevent this flow of human labor considering its extreme institutional inertia around development?

If the Habsburgs won the War of Spanish Succession, what would really change?

I mean would the Treaty of Utretch still be enforced and agreed upon by the Austrian Habsburgs to keep the Balance of Power whereby the Spanish Crown remain separate from that of wider Habsburg sphere of influence thus still laying seeds to the modern nation-state?

How much would change for France though since that means the Franco-Spanish alliance against Britain maybe uncertain and that Spain real rival has always been Britain by the 18th century and has far less stakes in Austrian ambitions in Germany and Europe?

Is Lars Alexandersson a Gary Stu?

For old-school Tekken fans they feel he does even with the franchise going into Shoenen-esque territory by Tekken 5 onwards, he has Mishima super strength yet carries none of the baggage and unlike other characters in the franchise his moral righteousness is not even compromised by factors like relative levity, frivolity and the like for example Kagura was in Blazblue

Had Allies in 1918, managed to capture German cities of Aachen, Saarbrucken and Trier how much would this change the Treaty of Versailles and Inter-War Germany?

By 1918, Germany was starving and impoverished so much there are worker strikes across the streets and sailors/soldiers/marines mutinying for better conditions and supplies but really speaking let's imagine the German state was half as stubborn as they were in WW2 thus refused to armistice and fought on German soil as nationalists demanded thus how much would change if actual German cities like those frontier cities I mentioned?

Would the Stab in the Back Myth be more popular likely internally focused because actual cities were occupied or would it be less effective since Allied Forces did actually occupied German territory and urban areas?

I mean seriously I expect Luthor in Season 3 or 4 to be cultivating his own faction within the Light and having plans independent from Savage to eventually usurp him eventually yet everything always focuses on Vandal Savage's goals which yes coincided with Lex's but that alone is rarely enough to sustain an actual villain alliance really.

Yes I understand Lex is smart enough to not break away from Savage or undermine him as much, but his ego is often so big he will always find some wiggle room to ensure he can remain as independent as possible.
