A united and free Korea under Chinese KMT supervision likely industrializes later and less so than OTL South Korea. She is effectively part of the Chinese Sphere of influence and remains that way for most of a generation before trying to regain her independence. China probably drags their...

Thank you

XXVIII. New Technologies Technology during the war improved radically from its start in 1939 until its conclusion in 1953. The introduction of the transistor in 1946 would radically shrink electronic systems and improve computing capabilities. Radios a fraction the size of the old tube sets...

XXVII. Operation Calamari By early 1949 the stage was set for Operation Calamari, the long-awaited multi-prong invasion and liberation of the British Islands. German divisions prepared seaborne defenses alongside their British Action counterparts but a series of tactical nuclear strikes and...

XXVI. Operation Templar While Operation Kimchi was named for a Korean dietary staple and soon turned into an inside joke about fresh things that got buried, rotten, and utterly transformed in the process, the initial phases of Operation Templar - the Allied landings in southern Europe - were...

première Guerre mondiale Paradox Studios, 2011 Welcome to what began as a mod for Hearts of Iron 3 and eventually morphed into its own game. The year is 1819 and the Napoleonic conquest of Europe is complete following the successful conclusion of his campaign using Ireland as a jumping off...

Have another power express interest in it during the late 17th century and force the Spanish to settle/develop the region a lot more. They need a reason to go there and potential loss to a rival is as good as any.

Depends on his specific reactions to specific events. Argentina might expand beyond its borders to take over Uruguay, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catalina, Parana, Paraguay, and maybe other areas. Maybe Brazil unites the continent in his lifetime. Or it could succumb to civil war and divide into...

Discussion of having the SS Great Eastern run cotton from Savannah to the UK we're held but came to naught. For those not familiar with the SS Great Eastern this ship is perhaps 50 years ahead of its time in some regards and capable of cargo loads over 13,000 net registered tons. Assuming...

After the assassination of FW deKlerk in 1990 and his replacement by a junta of Afrikaners bent on expansion by force, the puppet Prime Minister Janusz Walus officially took responsibility for the 1992 invasion of Namibia, the 1995 overrun of Botswana, and the 1999 takeover of Mozambique. The...

Perhaps our viewers might not be as familiar with other cities mass transit options as you and I are. I found WMATA (Washington DC Metro) more limited than you do, at least on the southern side of the metro area. Boston also has its limitations in comparison to Europe and Japan. Both are...

Have an American city or state with a reliable and self-sustaining mass transit system comparable to Europe or Japan by the time of the COVID outbreak. Bonus - have it all built *after* World War II

*The Empire needs to last a while longer with the Emperor/Empress deciding this is a priority *Focus nation-building and industrialization around this as a rallying point - "Great nations must be able to build their own Great Navies"! or somesuch *Will still take 20+ years to achieve, maybe...

Suspicion of a Portuguese discovery or confirmation of much much older discoveries by any number of explorers are possible. Andrea Bianco's map from 1447 given the description of how to reach the 'Ixola Atlantica' (spelling?) are very interesting. Especially given his involvement in the Fra...

Yeah but then the premise of how the Vulcans take over Earth after Kennedy sleeps with a stranded member of their Explorer Corps results in a 'diplomatic misunderstanding', especially after the Vulcan ship pushes Earth tech ahead enough to let Khan Noonien Singh actually land troops on Vulcan...
