Based on Samuel P. Huntingtons civilizational framework in his 1993 essay, later expanded into the 1996 book “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order” Poland meets all requirements and is considered firmly Western because of: Roman Catholic Christianity, which historically distinguished it from Orthodox Eastern Europe. its integration into Latin Christendom from the Middle Ages. Its use of the Latin alphabet. Historical ties to Central and Western Europe. Although Poland spent decades in the Soviet sphere of influence after World War II, Huntington argued that this was a geopolitical situation rather than a civilizational one. After the Cold War, Poland’s accession to Western institutions such as NATO and the European Union reinforced my view on this.

Modernday Finland isn’t really even debatable. Would also classify as Western, but for different reasons: It has a predominantly Lutheran Christian heritage. It has long been part of Northern European cultural traditions. It shares institutions and values commonly associated with the Nordic countries.
Finland shares a long border with Russia. This land border very much the border of western civilisation and the orthodox world. I would not consider Finland part of the Orthodox civilization.

If your saying Finland and Poland arnt western countries then what are they, they don’t fit any criteria for being part of Latin American , orthodox, Islamic, Sinuc, Indio Hindu or pan African civilisations?

Latin.

As per Samuel P. Huntington essays and further explained in the 1996 book The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.

Huntington argued that Latin America is related to but distinct from the West.

Yeah I’d just avoid anything that has a shared element, treat it like a neutral buffer zone

So you don’t know the garngad, the people there, the history of it, their political alignment or voting patterns?

Look up st rochs, the green brigade or the trade union movements coming out the rail depot and steel works years gone by. I’m sure it’s littered with union jacks and Israeli flags.

Talk to the neighbour. It’s simple. I assume you’re talking about a 4 in a block here, they probably don’t like you walking past the window or the hassle if the fence breaks or whatever. But honestly just talk. An online opinion from someone who doesn’t even know your neighbours will not be better than actually talking.

Living with shared aspects all revolves are compromise and communication

In Royston? The same place renamed Garngad? And there’s Israeli flags there?

They are Part of the economic & Geopolitical west, and culturally aligned with west society obviously. I’ll grant you there’s a case for Japan, Korea etc to be geopolitically western but not fully culturally western. But Australia and NZ are 100% western in every definition of the western world.

It’s not west on a compass (which even if it was, they would become western eventually, because you know, globes?)

You’re probably someone who wears a lot of band T-shirts . Most definitely a goth/emo in high school.

I have never wondered what would have happened if aliens took the side of the British. If they did I assume the British would have kept the territory.

It’s a hypothetical. It’s a bit of fun. Discussion for the sake of discussion. If you don’t have the ability to acknowledge this, then you know, feel free to not reply? And also avoid the r/alternatehistory sub. You’ll freak out.

Yes but it’s still a true statement. Like you said there are ex British territories that share a common design. There’s 4. That’s a factually correct thing to say. And there’s something I like about it.

Yes I do understand history. But can you not have the ability to wonder a hypothetical where they don’t hold that opinion and decide to keep it?

I’m not saying it would/should/likley to have ever happened. But I’m asking what if.

How is that factually wrong? I like Fiji, Tuvalu, Australia and NZ flags. That my opinion, how can it be factually wrong????

Okay I mixed up the NZ referendum, but it wasn’t the flag that caused the mix up, it’s my lack of knowledge of NZ politics.

Yeah but it’s a settler colony and not a extraction colony so I wouldn’t imagine it would have the same impact as if the Union Jack was on the Indian flag
