     Alright. I know I said that my next post will be on my Visita Iglesia. But don't worry. It's coming soon! Just a few more days.      Anyway, Poland has such a history of being partitioned and annexed. Yet it kept fighting back. Still, they have such a tough history. They only truly gained independence in 1990, a mere 34 years ago. But why is it like this? Why did Poland have to suffer so much? Find out today on Historical Facts.  The First Partition (1772)      From the beginning of the 18th century to the end of World War I, the Russians and Austrians were big rivals. In 1772, it seemed almost inevitable that Russia and Austria would go to war. But to prevent this, Prussia had an idea. They decided to partition Poland among themselves. This marked the beginning of Poland's partitions. Poland was still a large empire in union with Lithuania, known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but this was the beginning of the end for the e...

     In my opinion, if the Germans never sent the Zimmerman Telegram, the Central Powers might have won. Out of all the mistakes in world history, it would be up there as one of the worst. Let's see why.      The Zimmerman Telegram was sent by Germany to Mexico in 1917 during World War I. They wanted to form a coalition with Mexico against the United States. In return, Mexico would regain Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.  Mexico rejected this, but something even more important happened.  You see, British intelligence detected the telegram, and they sent it to Washington. ( source ) The American government was furious. So they declared war on Germany.      Now, why was this a big mistake? Well, you see, the Central Powers were winning until the Americans joined. Romania and Serbia had capitulated by 1917, and Russia was close to losing. (They did leave later on.) Also, Germany was getting close to Paris. They should have just kept the...

     I know I've been leaving you hanging on the Sesame War, but I guarantee you that Part 4 will come out soon. With that clear, welcome to Part 1 of my alternate First World War. The alliances will be very different here. Let's go, Enotitans! Also, please read until the end for a very important announcement.     In 1866, the Austro-Prussian War was fought. (That happened in real life.) After that, Austria and Prussia (later the German Empire) both competed to become the superior Germanic nation.      Then, in 1870, the Franco-Prussian War was fought. (This was also a real war.) But since the French leader was Napoleon III, we actually have Great Britain joining on the side of Prussia here, making for our first fictional event. The Treaty of Normandy was signed a year later, giving Alsace-Lorraine to the newly formed German Empire, and Brittany to the United Kingdom. Later that year, the Germans and Brits signed the London Pact, which was like th...
