  1. USA if Spanish conquer England

    Well, seeing as both fascism and communism still existed after WWII and communism still exists today... no? Also what is even the relation between fascism/communism and self governing colonies? Both ideaologies are 200~ years younger than the rebellion against law, order and good governance...

  2. Britannia Rules the Stars-REDUX

    I think you miss typed the population. Austria alone in 2020 had a pop of 8 million. Or the last century has been one hell of a disaster.

  3. How Do We Prevent The Worst Of England's Actions With Scotland, Ireland, and Wales?

    It's been pointed out already but the Scots have a history of raiding across the border, the Romans literally built a wall (two walls actually) to try to keep them out (well okay... the Scots came much later but whatever) and this habit of theirs didn't stop when the Romans left. A lot of the...

  4. The Forge of Weyland

    I stand corrected - for reasons that escape me I thought Baku was more north-west than it is by... alot. But it remains a critical strategic asset... I guess the only choice would be to bomb the crap out of it and hope it sticks.

  5. The Forge of Weyland

    I'm no expert on the soviets but I would expect that if the Nazis had done the smart thing and made its main axis of attack the Baku oil fields at the start of Barbarossa, then the SU may very well have collapsed much like Tsarist Russia did. Russia is essentially the only country in the world...

  6. The Forge of Weyland

    It was infact the lewdest image captured during the war, a Sherman mid transformation into a Firefly. Experts claim that it was the first example of fan service ever caught on camera.

  7. The Forge of Weyland

    According to Wiki he was an Aussie. He was born in England but emigrated to Australia where he eventually enlisted. It says alot about Australia that two of their modern heros were criminals of the highest order :P

  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Unpatriotic traitors the lot of you! Only marginally less worthy of hanging than your average American. Historically, the commonwealth sent divisions (or Corps) and expected them to fight together. As I recall Monty commanded some ANZACs in North Africa, I suppose that if Canada provided a...

  9. Could Hitler had defeated Soviet Union without Britain

    It's been pointed out but it is worth mentioning again, without the RN blockade, Germany can buy supplies from abroad. This could massively impact the supply shortages that ultimately stopped the 1941 offensive from achieveing its goals.

  10. Best British Monarch?

    King Arthur, The Once and Future King, King of Knights, By Grace of God King of Britons. (Secretly a girl called Artoria Pendragon)

  11. Could Britain have helped Europe's Jewish population 1941 on?

    You guys are looking at this the wrong way. If Britain had managed to evacuate 3 million Jews that would have otherwise died in the holocaust then the Nazis would have simply killed someone else. After all, its not as if the Jews were the only people who suffered and died in those death camps...

  12. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    The Whale has Wings by Astrodragon is a good example. One of the big reasons why the Empire collapsed so quickly was because British Prestiege and power was worthless after getting the crap kicked out of them by the Japanese. New Zealand and Australia lose many of the reasons for remaining in...

  13. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    This argument would work. If America wasn't just as racist, if not more so at the time. Honestly, the US didn't care about the oppression at all so its not really an angle you can take. And really, if your trying to argue that Somalia (as an example) is any better off than it was 70 years ago...?

  14. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    Well, to be fair I think Mustard does have that sorted. If Atlee had been stupid enough to compare Churchill and the Conservatives to the Nazis then he would have lost a great deal of support. That said I doubt he would have been stupid enough to do so. I'm not sure, if Churchill actually...

  15. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    I fully agree that maintaining the Empire as it was pre-war just wasn't going to happen. My position was that America intentionally weakened an ally in a time when there were more important things to attend to. It is funny because they largely left the French Empire alone and indeed ended up...

  16. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    That reads like a rationalisation. And not a very good one. By and large those nations which didn't like Britian (due to its imperialism) did not become friends with the West after independence of Britain colonies. Hows about an example? Egypt. The Suez Crisis. Eisenhower even went on record...

  17. The Third Superpower: A British TL

    While I am all for a timeline which has Britain not playing second-fiddle to the US, I can't see it as a super-power without an earlier POD. Fact is that Britain was bankrupt at the end of the war and most of the colonies wanted independence. India for instance is going, there is simply not...

  18. Earliest Imperial Preference

    In the early 1900s (1903 according to wiki) Joseph Chamberlain decided he prefered protectionism to the long standing British policy of free-trade, it was called Imperial Preference. Tariffs would be setup in such a way that the British Empire would be a protected-trade zone. The following...

  19. The Great War at Sea ... Take 13

    Didn't it say that the fall of France was in 1919? So isn't it more like 'disatisfaction with the war' that does it?

  20. Sports AHC: have the US and Canada play the same type of football

    The rest of the world calls it Rugby (For Adults).
