  1. Best Alternate History Movies/TV Shows/Books?

    This movie is really good. As a non korean looking at this objectively i thought korea made out better in the alternate timeline. They didn't really seem to be oppressed by the japanese. They are independent iotl but the country is divided with one side living under extreme oppression and i'd...
  2. WI: Anarchists win the Spanish Civil War

    So you suggest reading books that are anti franco since i am not anti franco? The only reason the reds didn't kill more in the post war is because they spent the majority of the war losing ground. Had they won the war i'm sure their victims would have numbered at least half a million. Leftist...
  3. WI: Anarchists win the Spanish Civil War

    Where has anarchy worked? What was so bad about Franco rule? all the republicans were worried about doing was emptying prisons, legalizing abortion, shooting priests, raping nuns, outlawing marriage, and enabling secession. They didn't have any clear plans on how to form or keep a functioning...
  4. Switch Perceptions of French and German Military Prowess

    There are still plenty of americans who still think of england as their ancestors. Most actual anglo americans don't call themselves english but rather throw hissy fits when other americans refer to themselves as an ethnicity. As for me I am a non white american and I do not feel any major...
  5. Switch Perceptions of French and German Military Prowess

    I think the easiest way would be to switch France and Germany's positions in ww1 and ww2. France as an enemy would be built up by the veterans who fought them to make themselves look better. Apart from that we might just need another century or so with england and france being mostly allied for...
  6. Opinion of the Mongols?

    What are you referencing to point out the Spanish in particular? Please don't be dragging out that old black legend the english have been throwing out for centuries. It has been hilariously exploited. I would invite you to look at latin america and see the huge numbers of indians and mestizos...
  7. How Would You Alter The Treaty Of Versailes To Prevent The OTL Events leading to WW2?

    I think they could have not forced reparations (it was the prussians who asked for it when they did it in the last war mind you). But instead i'd say a full dismemberment of germany the same as the Ottoman empire and austro hungarian empires came apart. Germany could lose lands on most frontiers...
  8. Challenge-Crown a stuart or other disputed royal line King of USA

    Your challenge is to have the USA, after the revolution decide to have a King. Then have them choose one of the royal families who lost their thrones in Europe. They could just be a figure head or have all the powers of a tsar. Please don't fill up the thread with reasons why it couldn't...
  9. WI: Napoleon escaped to the United States

    I have noticed that alot of brits and americans think the Americans lost or barely won the war of 1812. The worst we did in that war was draw. We got everything we wanted, destroyed a british ally, won more of the naval fights, and humiliated them at New Orleans. Not to mention that their army...
  10. Fidel and the Falklands war.

    Cubans beat the south africans i'm sure they would have had even less trouble with the inferior brits. I think after the Cuban forces on Las Malvinas annihilate the british invasion force and board/capture the ships the people of england rise up in a bloody revolution against the milk snatcher...
  11. WI: Reagan sticks to Monroe doctrine during Falklands War

    You seem to be a little confused. Our first ally was France, our best ally is Canada or Israel. Truthfully, the brits have been our first and longest enemy. We didn't really stop preparing for and expecting war with them until ww2. Also i don't think too much trouble would come out of Reagan...
  12. AHC: International Football is between Leagues.

    Sounds like an english cop out for continuous failure. Chelsea won the big one but you all hate chelsea for playing a style that wins and not the english "running for running's sake" style
  13. AHC: International Football is between Leagues.

    Yes, I agree with this totally. by and large spanish teams seem to be a step above other teams on average. sure there are some teams which can beat spanish teams from time to time but they have won the champions league and europa more than others recently. I think if you take Sevilla, Bilbao...
  14. AHC American Football and Rugby Triumphant

    I'm an American who's favorite sport is Rugby Union but i also love Football. There are some key differences in the sport that i feel many foreigners don't get. Football has a higher level of hard contact than Rugby. Rugby tackles are more grueling and straight hits are illegal as well as...
