Russia has collapsed in my current game too. Ukraine and Georgia are free, while what is left of Russia is now the Soviet Union.
Do those independant US states (apart from Texas etc etc) only come in AHD? Or have I missed them completely in the standard game? :blink:
I think it would make a lot of sense for Cuba to be rare without intervention. In OTL Cuba didn't form without USA's assistance.
Have you considered that it taking so long for Cuba to successfully declare independence (not "form") was a freak occurrence?
Uh. That's not true.Of course! Everything in history is a "freak occurrence".
Oh man, this is just like being in undergrad politics classes with Americans - you always want to compare everything to the United States.The idea that 13 disjointed colonies, who wanted nothing to do with each other, could come together and defeat the world-spanning superpower of their day, Great Britain, and then do so again 32 years later and eventually, surviving civil war, surpass that world-spanning superpower, would be and is a "freak occurrence".
Everything in history emerges out of material conditions, not "freak occurrences".
