GdwnsnHo, So, Jew-killing genocides are fine for you, and only Christian genocides matter? Or did I misunderstand?

But, why think Charles won't be tarred and feathered and shot by rebel scum like us, even the rebel aristocratic Soutn? Like happened in the UK. Say, when he treats the local aristocracy as colonial scum? And orders all the effort on his manor so big that'd take over 100 years? Now, a...

I'm afraid 'medieval' and innovation are pretty much oppoaites. It took to get the Renaissance to even get all what was lost. Only the smallest slow happened, with almost as much back and wrong and wrong as forward. The problem was mostly feudalism. My suggestions are to either use our...

But Russia was even clearly worse than the Ottomans. They had a long tradition of Jew-killing pogroms. And Stalin killed everybody he could think of an excuse for, and he was no stupid, sadly.

We could've sunk enough of the French Army on its way, and kept our blockade going. The ironclad was all that mattered on the sea then, and we ruled in that department, and could've won naval battles, sunk transports, and kept the blockade going. French Gloire was first, but, by the time a...

But. basic reality is death and taxes, sorry. There's no avoiding either. And reality is about regulation, reasonably high taxes, and lots of government spending, I'm afraid

But, wasn't Hitler's natural death date his birthday? Along with that perfect Stalin? And, seriously, another computer great, von Neumann, died early of cancer, probably from nuclear exposure he didn't know would kill yet. And you're right about Turing. And he was a great mathematician.

But you're forgetting that the Istanbul had such perfect strategic situation that it kept Rome going another several centuries. It was the best strategic situation in the world, easily. So, there was no chance that Russia could take it, or that Istanbul'd fall at Gallipolli, even with Entente...

But, recycling is good to make reactors last forever. And the reprocessing research might've been done for weapons, just to find out what bombs are possible.

Oh, yes - sorry. My ideas are: Replacing the Kaiser , because he was a the same kind as our Bush II whom totally messed up even a small war. Worst, he wanted war with everybody at once, the worst way. And tanks, because they really let Entente progress for the 1st time ever in the war...

Wasn't it Fredericksburg, where lame and new Burmside, walked his men into long-entrenched hills? Attacks like Gettysburg and Fredericksburg were all a disadvantage because it was the start of the trench warfare era. Their General Johnson was right - defense was the right way.

But, there's been naval history before the 20th century. Even submarines. The USS Turtle.was in the Revolutionary War, in the 18th century. . But that offensive working can't be done, because it takes the submarines working to starve, which I've explained is implausible because of...

But it was all Kaiser Bill's fault; after all, he wanted war against us even under TR. Remember he invaded Belgium and then France, and supported Austria-Hungary invading Serbia.. And totally wanted us in the war, because he sent the Zimmermann telegram.

I think what they should've done is freed Singapore earlier, so they'd have the defense self-interest to do it themselves. This' a failure of imperialism because they can only watch Europe by themselves.
