  1. What if the Soviets won the battle of Warsaw? (1920)

    Lenin was still alive and in charge at this time.

  2. Who was Rome's greatest enemy - Poll

    All empires or states can be said to be their own worst enemy. The nature of decline is as inevitable as an individual being born to only die. Of more interest is what external threat was the greatest enemy of Rome. As the time scale is so great the answer should be reduced to what state during...

  3. Airships in the South Pacific During the Roaring Twenties: Who Could Ask For More?

    Trotsky was a Menshevik until late 1917.

  4. Alexander the Great's empire never falls

    Rome as an ally of Alexander is a possibility but wouldn't Appius Claudius be in power at this time? A Macedonian garrison supporting a puppet Roman regime or a Roman client state acting as the Macedonian 'sheriff' in Western Europe?

  5. Alexander the Great's empire never falls

    I wonder what the standard they planted looked like? A lion atop a a Macedonian star perhaps?

  6. Alexander the Great's empire never falls

    Toynbee's vision was of a world empire. What you describe could be what happened as it grew but once Alexander conquered China it was game over and Hellenism became dominant as the world culture. Once Hannibal the great explorer 'discovered' Atlantis (the Americas) the world empire was virtually...

  7. AHC: A Perfect World (Paris Peace Conference 1919)

    The US agrees that the war debt gouging of the allies was not in the best interests of all parties and excuse a significant amount of the debt in exchange for access to advantageous trade deals and some territory. As a result, the UK persuades France that the German reparations should be...

  8. Late Roman Empire

    What should go here? What are you referring to?

  9. The Future Kaiser Wilhelm II Dies Young

    In 1880 the then Prince Willie fell from a light skiff into Potsdam Lake when the wife of the British ambassador was teaching him to scull. He was saved from drowning (he could not swim because of his arm) by two embassy staff who had accompanied Lady Ampthill. Would his brother really be...

  10. Western Orthodox?

    Kievan Rus did have reasonably close ties with Anglo Saxon England with intermarriage among the royal and noble houses.

  11. Western Orthodox?

    Nearly every pope before the ninth century was Greek. The distinction was not great. Ireland and by extension Britain followed the so-called Celtic Church and was reconverted to the Roman faith. The Celtic church had much in common with Orthodoxy like the calculation of when Easter should be...

  12. Franco-Italian War in the early to mid 30s

    Thank you yes it was 1937

  13. Franco-Italian War in the early to mid 30s

    A way to make this possible may be the following. Hitler reoccupies the Rhineland March 1936 (OTL) France does not intervene because of lack of British support and lack of unity at home. Italy offers support if intervention by Allies goes ahead (OTL) The far right in France shifts a...

  14. Cold War with Imperial Russia?

    The POD would need to be further back than 1905. The Russian fleet thought the British fishing fleet in the North Sea were the Japanese! No way they could have defeated the Japanese.

  15. A more powerful Curtain Call - The Australasian Federation and World War 2

    With the extra Australasian force in Egypt at the beginning, why didn't O'Çonnor launch his attack earlier than OTL? If he had done so that may well have prevented the Afrika Corps from arriving in the first place and the total securing of North Africa for the Allies.

  16. A more powerful Curtain Call - The Australasian Federation and World War 2

    This is very interesting. With the extra troops and planes in the Mid East, the victory over the Italians should happen quicker. It may mean the Africa Corp never arrives. Or the extra ships and carrier planes means the transports would be sunk and Rommel either drowned or shot down. Malta...

  17. Hellenistic conquest of the Roman Republic?

    Alexander himself with his 'new model army' of the mixed phalanx and heavy cavalry invade at the height of Appius Claudius' power. Does the latter initially fight and then accept Alex' terms of Rome becoming his ally in the west and dominating in Alexander's name or does Rome continue with...

  18. WI: The British Created the First Atomic Bomb

    The Lancaster (modified) carried Tall Boy bombs that were as heavy as Fat Man.

  19. WI: The British Created the First Atomic Bomb

    The British effort was added to the US program because Churchill gave over to the US everything the British had on the A Bomb - technical, theoretical - everything. It was the only reason the US was able to build the bomb in the first place.

  20. Menshevik Russia

    The Menshevik base was larger in the Party before the split and much larger among the general populace than the Bolsheviks.
