I read this interesting passage in the Wikipedia article on the Union State... So, for the sake of discussion, imagine a scenario where the last few years of the 1990's play out somewhat differently. Putin's rise is averted, and over the course of the early 2000's, Russia and Belarus integrate...

With a POD of 1900, you’r challenge is to make Poland be divided by at lest 2 countries into the modern day. The most odvious to me are Germany and Russia holding onto their polish territory, but is it possible to have other scenarios? Maybe a Czechoslovakia controlling the southern part of...
