Talk:Second Great War

From Turtledove

Hey, something's seriously wrong with the chart here. Brazil was neutral, Canada was defunct, et cetera. This is the GWI chart plus Finland and Ukraine and minus Quebec. I'll fix it later--That should be a pain in the ass.Turtle Fan 02:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hate to complain, but the shade of red used for the CP and the shade used for the CP-inclined neutrals are indistinct on the map. Is another color possible? TR 21:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

They're not indistinct, but they're not consistent; Sweden and Quebec are different colors. And why is Brazil Entente-inclined?Turtle Fan 22:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I remember that being mentioned in TVO, I think. Couldn't guess why. TR 22:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Brazil said they almost went to war with Colombia. The US had been pro-Colombian. But Germany had been anti-Colombian. And at any rate, Brazil got over it.Turtle Fan 00:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow, this is a really thorough article. Turtle Fan 16:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

No kidding. TR 16:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Map is wrong in Europe. Germany annexed Luxembourg and the rest of Lorraine after the Great War, so more of France should be German territory and Luxembourg as well.

In the section on the war in europe, it states that the german army is equipped with 88mm guns. well i have red all the settling accounts books hundreds of times and never is there a mention of the germans having 88s. can someone please alleviate on the matter?

Go ahead, my good man. TR 03:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hundreds of times? Wow.

Of course, if the Germans are using 88mm guns, we'd most likely never know. Turtle Fan 15:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Texas and Cuba too?

Did the US occupy,along with the CSA, Cuba and take the seceeded Texas? Did Texas remain independant? Did Cuba gain independence?

Texas seceded into an independent state that ended up being much more like the Republic of Quebec than anything else (albeit with a much heavier US garrison). Cuba probably is still a part of the CSA (or, rather, USA, now), as I see no reason that they'd give it back to Spain, or to the natives.

I remember writing most of this article on Wikipedia. It was fun. - Jelay14 02:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I suspected that this was your excellent work. TR 17:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Casus" vs. "Causes"

Casus is perfectly acceptable Latin. Moreover, this is a template, so changing it the article just screws things up. TR 17:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, we've gone through this once before-casus is Latin. It's a template. Do it again and I will ban you. TR 15:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
