Hello! You know what? I'd forgotten all about it, and currently am in a good position to continue. I'll see if I can find my notes and will put something together. Thanks for the message!
Hello all. I've been thinking a lot around the idea that history appears to repeat itself, at least in terms of Hegemony and imperial decline. While I know there is debate on America's definition of being an empire or not, I am interested in the opinions of this forum's members on their idea of...
The above sounds like quite an interesting and long term POD. I'd love to see how this sortofstory progressed. Where do you think US/EU relations could go in the long term? Would the UK/US special relationship continue and how is russia viewed in this world in the long term? Quite facinating to...
Hi all, I was recently inspired to ask the question, when and how could the EU effectively create a standing armed forces with a POD no earlier than 1945? This could perhaps be in name only or a fully fledged formal force.
Would all countries be required to join it or could it be volunteer...
How so? This isnt a Brtain and France wrecked by several years of war, with significant infrastructural damage. The threat of blockade of the British isles is nullified. This is 2 mobilised empires with the economic support of the USA on their side. This is against a nation that has limited...
I was browsing the BBC when I came upon a very interesting atricle detailing British contributions to the space race. One section in particular stood out to me, stating:

Hate to be a negative Nancy but they couldn't even cross the English channel at the height of their power, let alone the Atlantic. And defeating the soviet union opens a whole new can of worms. The novel was never intended to be a plausible alternative history. But feel free to try prove us...
If its a matter of numbers and on paper considerations, I believe that as long as they can maintain a higher industrial output than the axis, yes, they probably could :)
Allies industrial output was higher than the axis throughout the war, they used their resources more effectively and they had...
Hey guys :D sorry if this is the wrong place to post it but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to attempt an Air Ministry Specification (design an aircraft) for me? :)
I highly doubt it would be as doom and gloom as you expect. You seem to have forgotten the existence of the royal navy. Plus I fully expect Britain and allies will attack and take Germany's colonies, dominate the Med if possible, blockade Germany and probably eventually attempt to land in and...
I'm sure someone somewhere would be willing to buy these vessels eventually. Probably implausible, but you could have private individuals/companies buy them for profitable ventures? "Hop aboard and gamble in style on the renovated USS Midway!" "Take a cruise around the pacific with the USS...
