Changed line(s) 3 from:

1. \
to:
1. \\\"No one believes that the drakas would enserfe white people.\\\" So? Napoleon didn\\\'t plan to enslave anyone, but nonetheless the whole of Europe untited against him and the British spent an enormous amount of money to get rid of him. The Russians never wanted to enslave british citizens but their expansion in central asia was nonetheless opposed by the UK. The germans in WWI didn\\\'t want to enslave the British but they were fought anyway. Conclusion: highly agressive nations with a hunger of territory are feared and antagonised even if they don\\\'t plan genocide/mass enslavment, because letting them fullfill their aims means a massive reduction of your power and wealth. The drakans have proven their insatisable hunger for conquest countless times, and finished WWI with the annexion of: Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and western China. Just to remind everyone that they\\\'re not done they invade Afghanistan in 1925. After that they have nothing else to conquer except white nations or their colonies.
The logical outcome is the formation of defensive alliances against the drakas. Failing to do so is idiotic.

2. \\\"They are composed of looser.\\\" Are you kidding me? The drakas have never ever lost a single war. They fought Napoleon(1802), the Ottomans(1807), conquered all of Africa (1820-1850), the Russians (1879-1882) and then take part in the first world war - in which the more than double their territory. To believe they are looser is idiotic

3. \\\"They looked harmless without their Janissaries, the other powers were caught by surprise by their massive legions.\\\" Yeah right. Small problem: The first Janissaries were recruited in 1790! If your surprised after 150 years it is an idiot plot.

So there is allready a serious idiot plot necessary to even get to the start of \\\"Marching through Georgia\\\".

But it doesn\\\'t stop there, it continous through the books; the allies make on idiotic decission after the other:
They never support the remnants of the UdSSR (an allied nation), although doing so would give them an ideal foothold to stir up trouble in the Draka occupied Asia.
They never attempt to support either Spain or Portugal (neither joined the Axis), although doing so would give them an ideal foothold to stir up trouble in the Draka occupied Europe. Seriously how hard would it be to get Spain to join the allies and declare war on Germany once the Drakas stand in central Europe (and Germany is powerless to do anything about it?). Then send in some troops and tell the Drakas to stand down or else.
They never try to invade Scandinavia and liberate the nations there. Once the Drakas stand in Germany the german occupation force is in no position to offer serious resistance and given how the Drakas act might even welcome such move. What are the Drakas going to do about it? Telling \\\"Sorry, we conquered Germany so all her conquest belong rightfully to us\\\"?
They never attempt any Invasion of France. Again by 1944 the Germans are to weakend to offer serious resistance.
If they defeat Japan they must posses an enormous amphibious landing capacity and troop concentration in the Pacific; So why not put that to good use by invading Hainan and Korea and Tsingtao? And then use those easily defensible islands/penninsulas to liberate as much of China before the Drakas? The Japanese have lost their entire fleet and their home islands are bombed to rubble and they have to fight the Drakas so they cannot offer serious resistance.

Not doing this requires again an idiot plot.

Lets look at the reasons given in defense of that:

4. \\\"The allies didn\\\'t have the logistical capacities invade.\\\" That may be true until 1943 but after that the german army is beaten and crumbling and the Drakas stand at the Rhine. What ever is left in France is unable to offer any resistance and given how the drakas act might even welcome the Allies (especially since Hitler is dead). There won\\\'t be any more logistic needed than was in our WWII too invade Norway.
It is even worse in the Pacific theater as the allies there have proven to be able to invade the pacific islands, indonesia and the Philipines, so they are also able to invade the Mainland, before the drakas got there.

5. \\\"The allies were thought they would win a cold war thanks their industrial wealth, naval power and massive ocean buffers.\\\"
If you let that Drakas conquer Eurasia (which is what the allies did) they will have the majority of the world\\\'s population and natural resources. Given a few years this will inevitably lead to an industrial wealth greater than that of the allies. This in turn will lead to an naval power that is greater than that of the allies which in turn will negate the ocean buffer.
It is clear to anyone who is not an idiot that if they\\\'re given all of Eursia the drakas will win any cold war.

6. \\\"The allies thought the Drakas would become technologically backwards so they would become a pushover.\\\"
The drakas were constantly at the forefront of new discoveries: They created steam-powered tanks during the American civil War and lend them to the CSA, they created dirigibles in the Anglo-russian war (1890), they were the first to creat auto-steamers (cars run by steam), and they developed the atomic bomb only a few months after the allies.
It should be clear to anyone that the allies will become technologically backwards and pushovers. Which is exactly what happend: The Drakian R&D developed the Stone Dogs virus which enabeld them to destroy the allies.
Again only and idiot would not have seen this coming.

So to conclude Idiot plot is appropriate.
