What if Imperial Germany had won the First World War

Jason Longton • It has always been an interesting dynamic, the interplay between the western 

European nations and the east. It is a testimony to the spirit of the Russian people that they were 

able to defeat both Napoleon and Hitler, despite all odds. 

I do take issue with one point though. 


I agree that without the Eastern front in WWI, Imperial 

Germany would have rolled over France and Great Britain, but I don't think that this would have 

necessarily been a bad thing. Counter-factual arguments are problematic, however had 

Germany

 prevailed in WWI, it is safe to say that there would likely have been no WWII, and if there were 

it would have looked very different. The Bolshevik coup d'etat would have been very unlikely, as

would the rise and spread of fascism. Moreover, Imperial Germany was an appealing place in 

many respects, not perfect by any means but certainly no worse than most other European 

monarchies. Frankly despite a strong anglophile streak, I have always felt the wrong side won 

in WWI.

The Russian Art of War: How the West Led Ukraine to Defeat

Image
  Why is Ukraine losing the war against Russia? How do both sides think and operate? What were the mistakes on both sides? How did the West contribute to the Ukrainian defeat?
To answer these and many other questions, Jacques Baud draws on official information as well as American, Western and Russian documents. He explains how Russia understands and conducts the war. He shows how the West’s inability to grasp this reality and its determination to weaken Russia has backfired in Ukraine. Following on from the bestsellers Putin: Game master?, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and translated into several languages, the author returns to the war in Ukraine. He explains how Russia waged the war, and reveals how the image portrayed by the West led to Ukraine’s failure. 
 
Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations. D...

Carthage's Other Wars: Carthaginian Warfare Outside the 'Punic Wars' Against Rome

Image
  Carthage was the western Mediterranean's first superpower, long before Rome, and her military history was powerful, eventful, and chequered even before her 'Punic Wars' against Rome. Although characterized in the surviving sources and modern studies as a predominantly mercantile state, Carthage fought many wars, both aggressive and defensive, before and in between the contests with the Roman parvenus. The Greek states of Sicily, above all Syracuse under its tyrants Dionysius the Great and then Agathocles, were her most resolute opponents, but in North Africa itself, in Sardinia, and later on in Spain she won--and sometimes lost--major wars. This is the first full-length study dedicated to these other wars which furthered Carthage's interests for over half a millennium. The book is based firmly and analytically on the ancient sources, and among many insights is that Carthage, though usually considered a naval power, did more fighting on land than at sea and with more s...
