In the first volume of Der Weltkrieg (1925), the German official historians wrote that the Battle of Liège had ended just in time for the German armies to begin their march up the Meuse valley. The Aix-la-Chapelle–Liège railway line was operational by 15 August, although repairs had been necessary at the Nasproue tunnel and the line at Verviers, where 17 locomotives had been crashed together. The efforts of the 14th Brigade, Emmich and Ludendorff were commended and the value of the super-heavy artillery was noted.[33]
This is the only english excerpt i was able to find after an hour of searching, but i know the bit of trivia since i saw a belgian domestic documentaire about the first days of the invasion and what happened, and it was presented by a historian and i've seen a picture of one of the wreckages before
OMG and as i type wreckage, there you go, i'm always so glad when i can back up what i say with a source, it's such a steady habit. http://www.lookandlearn.com/history-images/M166146/The-charge-of-the-Iron-Brigade-wreckage-of-five-Belgian-locomotives-sent-uncontrolled-at-full?img=1565&search=World+War+I&bool=phrase

As if they could have known they were driving an animal to extinction. You think bison hunters consciously thought "Haha hell yeah I love to drive this animal to extinction for my own personal gain"?
>>1072435
Bison aren't extinct.
Also, natives had been hunting and harvesting them for eons. They didn't domesticate or farm them as 'Eurasians' did (hard without the horse), but they did learn to control their populations. Sort of like Spanish letting pigs go on islands or coasts just in case. But until the horse was re-introduced into North America, bison hunting on the open plains was relatively small scale.
Anyway, there are some good theories that native groups were so thinned out (largely by disease) many decades before whites even showed up. Yes the survivors would bounce back, until whitey DID show up. But all these small collapses everywhere also created power vacuums and a great shuffling of the board.
When it comes to the plains, fewer natives = fewer hunters. Sustainability models show that the massive herds seen were almost certainly an anomaly caused by the decline in their primary predator (humans) AND because natives modified the environment in such a way to ensure plenty of bison. Then the natives were mostly removed the equation and bam, bison everywhere.

>Ungern's troops crossed the northern border of Outer Mongolia on October 1, 1920 and moved south-westwards.[51] Ever since the 17th century, there had been prophecies circulating around Mongolia that a messianic figure known as the Shambhala, the "Hidden King" who ruled a vast and fabulous kingdom inside of the earth would take human form as a great warrior who gave no mercy in battle who would ride a white horse and invade Mongolia from the north. The Shambhala would not only expel the much hated Chinese from Mongolia, but also restore the mighty Mongol Empire, which at its height in the 13th century stretched across Eurasia from Hungary to Korea and from the Mediterranean to the Pacific. As Ungern-Sternberg rode a white horse, invaded Mongolia from the north, spoke fluent Mongol, worshiped at Buddhist shrines and spoke of his desire to restore the Mongol empire, the rumors spread all over Mongolia that the Shambhala had at long last arrived to free Mongolia from the Chinese yoke and Mongol princes followed by their bannerman rallied to the baron's army.

No. Just no. It's pretty classic megalomaniac Hitler over-stretching his forces and getting ahead of himself.
Without a war in other parts of western/southern Europe and Africa (thanks, bloody Italians), the Nazis almost certainly could have taken Moscow, Leningrad and Baku. Would they be able to hold it? Apart from oil, and cutting off access to the Baltic, they never wanted to -- they simply wanted to knock the soviets out of the war. Finns could have kept pressure on the Russian north, too.
Also, for a long time the Soviets kept their reserves and Eastern units firmly in Siberia, as they were expecting an attack from Japan. This would have definitely made the soviet counter-attacks futile. Japan made a quiet agreement not to get involved in Siberia though (fat lot of luck that did them at the very end of the war when soviets attacked them). Manchuria/Mongolia had often been a clusterfuck campaign in the late 30s, and teh Japs weren't too eager to return to. Especially considering it was relatively resource-poor compared to the oil and rubber the Japs were desperately gunning for in Southeast Asia.

Sorry, but you are wrong.
When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in June '41, the Japanese pulled out much of their forces on the border, and began their conquest of SE asia, the Phillipines, Indonesia, pearl Harbor, etc.
The Siberia forces were brought east at the behest of Zhukov.
They went forth at the Battle of Moscow and stopped barbarossa in its tracks..
Your alt-history relies on way too many variables.
"Without a war...." simply discounts the impulse of Nazi expansion, the drive to eliminate 'subhumans'.
The hope of defeating the Soviets before winter was a pipe dream, and further evidence of Hitler's inadequacy as a supreme commander.

That is EXACTLY what I just said you inbred fucking mong, learn to read.
Once it was clear Japan was not going to attack, an extra couple hundred thousand men were sent west. Even if most of them were machine gun fodder, it made a difference. Hitler was at Moscow's doorsteps, and Stalingrad was basically destroyed if not captured.
The only other force soviets had to worry about was Japan. The Japs would never have taken eastern Siberia all out, but it could have easily diverted resources -- this was Hitler's request in fact. It does not make it a 'single handed victory' for the Soviets, even if it were only about Japan which it isn't. The Nazis were trying to pacify southeast Europe and then facing a shitstorm in Africa, Italy, and later France.
As I said in my first line, the Nazi war strategy over-stretched itself. The soviet army was shit, although some technology and build quality had surpassed German (which was facing serious resource and labour issues, of course). It's only real advantage was the ability to zerg rush.
