Especially on the minor powers, that are most of the time unknown. This video I think paints a very good picture of the aims of the minor powers, that in some fringe elements persisted in the interwar period.

Might be! I'm just incredibly over minor power alt-history focus trees. Either do the alt-history question of WW2 -- war between the western Allies and the Soviets -- or take a little break from unreality. I'm not paying for any more Portugal/Congo/Paraguay/Indonesia Conquers the World stuff. I'm just not. Not while using what's already in the game breaks so much (and is so much worse than what the big modders are putting out).

WW2 itself is basically this: countries with frustrated ambitions after WW1.

Pretty sure they already do this--e.g.
- Belgium can form Benelux (& the colonial ambitions sound like they were opportunistic rather than critical ambitions)
- Greece has a Greater Hellas path (no-one ever takes it because the Byz path exists but we can hardly hold that against it)
- Bulgaria can claim & core everything except Istanbul I think?
- Romania already starts in 'Greater Romania' form

True. Without bitterness over the harsh terms of Treaty of Versailles the Germans would not have voted Nazis into power. Hungary joined them due to the harsh terms of the Treaty of Trianon.

Don't forget that in the 30s there was also a world famine. In Germany there was a severe famine and one of the ideas of Lebensraum - living space in the East was also the use of foreign lands so that the Germans would not starve. The Nazis played on many things to come to power.

In my case, i would like to have something like... the Western Allies vs. The Soviets vs. Islam Brotherhood led by Islamic Iran. I personally love the idea of giving the minor powers a bit of a spotlight... but i don't think conquer the world... sounds satisfactory. I don't mind giving the minor powers a shot, but as long it is feasible within it's time frame, that's fine with me.

you could always set the paths in settings, to have a multipolar or alternate ww2. Of course, that disables achievements
Iran is majority Persian and Shia. Islamic Brotherhood is a Sunny Arab movement.

Yes, i am aware of that, but i was thinking about the HOI4 factions.
They should redraw some states to fully reflect all territorial claims. This is the biggest flaw.

Personally i'd like a 2nd "historical mode" where there's effort in creating a scenario where the strategy plans align to make a fun alt scenario
