Why didn't the Allies do this?
>>
Well Slovakia certainly wouldn't be independent as it was pretty much Hitler's creation and the Allies only recognized Czechoslovakia.
>>
The only way they could do that, would be by either assimilating or holocausting native Germans.
>>
>>818854
>holocausting native Germans.

Bingo.
>>
>>818845
The Allies didn't consist solely of bum-flustered Frenchmen and Poles.

Because then the Nazis would have been able to make a comeback. They'd have a really good argument for "the Allies simply hate Germany and are trying to destroy us".

Using this map, they probably would have regrouped in Holland and Belgium, started an underground network in Switzerland, overthrow the monarchies of Holland and Belgium, invade and retake French Germany and start the whole war all over again
>>
One of the valuable lessons from this period was that we no longer lived in an era where borders could just go anywhere, they had to be defined by nationality in a way that caused as least friction as possible. There were massive population transfers to reduce the number of Germans living in the east.

Because the Netherlands didn't do jackshit to deserve nearly tripling in size.
>>
>>818850
Well, they are still their own people.
Not the first time nations are created like this.
>>
It would become an incredibly politically unstable area with a population that would probably revolt and would require permanent military occupation which would cost a ton of money and create permanent resentment.
>>
>>819386
just instruct them to care more about immediate practical concerns than arbitrary notions like culture and nationality, because it is to their own benefit and germans are intelligent reasonable people they will comply and focus on improving the economy and ending poverty
>>
>>818854
>holocausting native Germans

Exactly, why didn't the allies do this?

Holy shit, why is this board so full of anti-German edgyness? To trigger Wehraboos or is this place just filled with buttblasted Frogs and Poles?

People that enjoy being contrarian to other contrarians.
Think of it as a competition to see who can be more pointlessly butthurt and edgy.

Americans did negotiate about countless options for slovakia, or even for south-slovakia.

Because ww2 was a war against a form of imperial conquest in a time where such was becoming less and less popular
>>
Then you have huge German minorities in your countries. They'll be upset about not having the Fatherland anymore. That their people are split up and living in other countries.

You'll get a popular uprising of Germans. At best you get another Bismark, at worst it is another Hitler.
>>
>>820241
Ah, so does that mean we can glass the middle east then? Sweet, we've been looking for an excuse.

Also, if some tyrant comes to power in, say, France, and he wages a stupid war that drags on for a couple years, can we just genocide the shit out of France? I'm sure the Brits would like that. Plus, if we're working on a strike-based system here, they've already chalked up one with Napoleon.
>>
>>820580
Napoleon literally fought only wars of defense.
>>
>>818845
Because we certainly wouldn't put up with that kind of situation, why would the Germans?

Also, we had just undone a partition 30 years before, and after the rise of nationalism, nobody's gonna tolerate that kind of shit anymore.
>>
>>820583
No he didn't, the peninsular war and the invasion of Russia were both started by him to enforce the continental system.
>>
>>820583
Wew lad. You had me for a second.

Looks like>>820305 is correct
>>

Russia provoked him.

Britain provoked him in Portugal.
>>
>>820649
>Russia provoked him.
Napoleon attacked because the Tsar withdrew Russia from the continental system, due to its economy suffering from being forced to trade only with France and its allies.
>Britain provoked him in Portugal.
Portugal wanted to stay neutral, but Napoleon gave them an ultimatum of adopting the continental system or else war will be declared. Portugal didn't want to adopt the system because they were buddies with Britain, so Spain and France invaded. Then literally a year later Spain had a popular revolt that Napoleon didn't like, so he turned on them and invaded Spain.

Belgium is the Dutch south or at least Flanders is.

It's just jealousy, even when they badly fuck up multiple times they're still the biggest deal around, nobody else can compete. Poor europeans.
>>
>>820583
How was invading Russia defensive?
>>
>>821886
What? No fuck you... flanders should reunite with french flanders and become the european masters as we are supposed to be! (At least in living the good life)
>>
>>821886
Dutch annexation of Flanders is a meme, though it would smooth things over geographically...

Belgium is the former Austrian/Spanish Netherlands and was called the Southern Netherlands, but the majority of modern Flanders is non-Flemish lands and consists for a large part out of Brabant,of which the Northern part of Brabant is called North-Brabant which is situated in the South of the Kingdom of the Netherlands alongside Limburg - which is incidentally also shared between the Netherlands and Belgium to the South East, but are basically more like Germany than Lowlands desu - who are seemingly occupied by Belgium in OP's pic, along with the Southern region of Zeeland which is called Zeelandic Flanders, and isn't a part of modern day Belgium or Flanders.

Also, the Phlegms speak weird Dutch so no thanks.
>>

They feel regret for not doing that

Was it though? Or were they just """plans""" from people that had nothing to do with actual desicion making?

Yeah good luck with that

One major reason for everyone fucking each other over was France being cunts after WW1, that in turn was due to Germany being cunts after the Franco-Prussian war. Someone had to end the cycle of destruction, and we all know it wouldn't be the Germans.
>>
>>820128
If only you knew how indifferent French people are toward Germany you'd probably punch a wall out of rage

Probably because a large amount of Americans have muh Germanic heritage

Because you would have a central europe full of instability and terrorism.
The next time the germans would be independent or in some form in power, it wouldn't be "Gass the jews!" it would be "Gass everyone else!".

The Soviets and the French wanted to keep their parts of Germany so they could take everything, bolted down or not. Turning their parts of Germany over to make a new sovereign state was anathema to both the Soviet and French goal of nicking all the shit.
