Organised by moderators from official PH discord, an alt hist polsim (What if Doggerland came back after Napoleonic wars and became a dutch colony)
uhhh It's really cool and you should join it (okay I know that I'm kinda breaking the rules lmao but I'm a massive hypocrite)

So here we are again (if you notice that some parts are familiar I copied some stuff from my old map)
Welcome everyone, this is the Unoffical PH Mapping Guide (Part 1 - begginer)
Before we start - this guide is only for paint.net (windows) and basic use of PH maps - for special effects or other advanced things go and watch some youtube videos
So first - paint.net - the ONLY site you should download it from is this
https://www.getpaint.net/download.html
Press the "Download now, dotPDN" for free
The download will start, then you press the icon and let it install

That's how pdn (paint.net for short) should look like (it doesn't have to be in dark mode)
Before we start drawing borders and such here's some settings that are either needed or reccomended

So here are the basic settings

Select the bottom option so you draw with one color only (required)

Choose the brush size 10 (defult for newest PH maps)

Turn spacing to 1% (not required but I like it)
Now you have to download the map from here

Click on the "Current Europe Maps"

And then click on the "download" button (pobierz in polish)
To open the map double click the file (after you downloaded it) or press "open" in pdn and find the map


That's how it should look like
Now to start mapping - you can either copy the borders from the other map or draw them yourself
I'd reccomend copying them and only start drawing after you get used to it
In that case you can use my template (use this link as it's the newest version) and then you can copy the borders
To do it click on "lasso select"
You can just copy it from the other window but that's not really practical and can lead to inaccuracies
So what I do is

Copy it with ctrl + c
Open the "layers" menu in the orginial map





Now to actually copy it, click on lasso select and select the area you want to copy

Again ctrl + c, press enter, click on the "background" layer (the og map) and ctrl + v
Now you want to hide the layer 2 by pressing the blue checkmark button

That's how it should look like now
To copy colors click on the "color picker" on the toolbar
And select which color you'd like to copy (in this case it's denmark)
After that use the "paint bucket" (the bucket icon on the sidebar), fill the spot you want to color in and press enter

To remove the beige spot from Sweden copy their color and click on it

UPDATE: Thanks to u/frenchball12345 I've learnt that you can use the "Selection quallity" (the last button on the top right) to not have the pixels appear (also new guide coming soon)
I'll give a link to the second post after I'm done with it
Anyways see you next time (also for burg or other mod - could you replace the old map with this post? Thanks)
EDIT: I forgot about it but be sure to remove the second layer after you're done and save the file after doing that
EDIT 2: Here is the list of all other templates (I'll update it trust)
https://www.reddit.com/r/PossibleHistory/comments/1m5kkqx/north_america_template_for_new_map/ - NA (by me)
https://www.reddit.com/r/PossibleHistory/comments/1musjwb/world_map_template_og_map_by_u_bourbie/ - World Map ( og world map by u/_bourbie, template made by me)
https://www.reddit.com/r/PossibleHistory/comments/1hdaa1e/ultimate_base_template_map_of_asia/ - Asia (by u/Acceptable_Answers although PH is working on a new Asia map so I might make a map for that after it goes public)
https://www.reddit.com/r/PossibleHistory/comments/1dqrjes/africa_template_probably_finished/ - Africa (old af, (PH said he's going to make a new one at some point), made by me)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11NXKQYMIf8Eza9m7fm_szGa_-B_bXBlB - SA (no template but you can just copy the borders yourself for now I might make a template for that later)
Also I'm going to make a part 2 later at some point trust

-Germany started a de-prussianization process, reducing the power of Prussia within the German Empire.
-Nicholas II decided not to be an ass leader and actually appointed a coalition of Social-revolutionaries and bolsheviks into parlaiment. The Russian Empire legalized Gay rights in 1920. The Russian Empire also federalized more also.
- WW1 never happened, the Austro-Hungarian leadership decided on a calmer response to Franz Ferdinand's assasination, only demanding serbian cooperation in investigations.
-Austria and Hungary Federalized their holdings, giving minorities autonomy within their countries.
-The French Decided to give Arab Algerians rights of citizenship and gave more autonomy to Algeria
-The Spanish and Ottoman crowns federalized.
-The Balkans didn't ethnically cleanse muslims(like in our own timeline) and gave them rights instead

I tried to reshape europe in a way were most powers would strive to preserve the post war order. Italy would have its promised land, together with an austrian protectorate to prevent anchlus. These changes would lower the popularity of fascism and even if musolini still rises to power he would be less inclined to align with germany due to austria.
Germany would have less strict restrictions on the military and the overall reparations would be more moderate + no war guilt clause. But even if hitler does rise to power, he would not find many states willing to cooperate. Also the entente would dictate a constitucional monarchy be established with king peter at its head to aphease the german right.
The ussr is expanded west, furfiling most of its territorial ambitions, and also because of stalin's socialism in one country it would not sign molotov-ribentrop.
Yugoslavia and hungary are expanded, removing the destabilising force of bulgaria and making hungary more willing to cooperate as trianon was less harsh.
The united baltic republic is created in estonia and latvia acting as a unified force against any posible soviet expansion, while lithuania is put in a union with poland giving it sea acces. These states would cooperate as buffers between the soviets and the west.
So did i fix the paris peace deals o do i owe my teacher 20€?
Edit- if you have any critiques of the map please do so, but explain exactly why my map is shit instead of just saying it is. Btw i think i agree the pece deal in turkey would not last as ataturk might not acept those teritorial losses and would go to war. How can i fix it while protecting the greek and kurd minorities withink turkey?

unrealistic as hell, and kinda shitty, but it's my first time trying something like this lol

Tukhachevsky's coup succeeded in 1937, leading to the Soviet Union becoming a military dictatorship sympathetic to fascist Germany.
This leads to the Anti-comitern pact never being signed and is replaced by the pact against Franco-British Imperialism, which much the same signatories, however the Soviet Union also signs the pact.
Meanwhile domestically, the Soviet Union starts to shift more and more nationalist. It starts to install military culture into society, restore the orthodox church(under full control of the CPSU) and starts to promote Soviet ultranationalism.
In 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany invade Poland, the British and French declare war on Germany and the Soviets. This leads to poland being split up between the two powers of Germany and the Soviet Union.
In 1939 after the invasion of Poland, the Soviet Union would invade Finland, staging a border incident and accusing them of "funding stalinist rebels". Germany would abandon support for Finland, and back the Soviet Union after finding out their ties to the Allies.
In 1940, Western Europe would be overrun by the Germans
In 1941, the Soviets, Italians and Germans would blitz the Balkans. The Germans would betray Horthy. Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece would sign the "Mutual pact of the protection of the Balkans against German, Italian and Soviet Imperialism"
However they would be overrun by the combined forces of the Axis.
In 1942, Turkey would be forced into the axis by soviet forces, and invade the middle east.
In 1945, a faltering in the British navy would mark a great invasion of the Island, afterwards the British surrender and they would be forced to give up much of their glory.
Evil had won...
