Too bad. the US found them to be an effective weapon in WW2 for things you mentioned like patrols and rescue but also for offensive actions.

Does this RAN have PT boats?

One cannot know all the factors that date alone cannot count for. for example: 1. The German commander canceled the German patrol boats going out that night so their was little pre warning. 2. Hitler waited quite a while before sending in reinforcements. We dont know if that would have...

Also relations between American troops and English soldiers and civilians was beginning to have some real problems. "Over paid, over sexed, and over-here" was common. Give it another year with all those American troops sitting around looking for some way to blow off steam and it could have...

How many times can they re-release "Pinnochio"? Already we have nearly every classic Disney movie on DVD and I see no reason to ever buy the Blu ray version even if it comes with a case with a growing nose. But then it's amazing how many times they have re-released "The Wizard of Oz".

I've been reading about the Lewis and Clark travels and they said that while on the reutrn route down the Missouri, they counted at least 150 persons (trappers, traders, etc...) making their way up the Missouri to exploit the lands natural resources like timber and furs. Also new towns had...

Between 1830 and 1938 Eastern Native Americans, most living in the mid and southern United States, were forced off their land and made to move to Oklahoma. Many died along the way from disease, hunger, exposure, and out and out murder. But lets look at 2 other scenarios: 1. The NA's were never...

I find it interesting that Australia, being that it was started as a penal colony, would then go on to restricting non-Europeans.

I'm just glad someone asks a question about an allied upgrade instead of an axis one.

With all due respect I was just curious if aborigines were ever excluded from White Australian society the same way as black South Africans? Granted, I know only some of Australia's history. There was that movie years ago called "Rabbit Proof Fence" and it suggested that years ago that things...

How are Australia's and Tazmania's aboriginal peoples treated?

I see a war in the 1930 at the latest between the US and UK as the US was trying to expand its imperial reach and would have tried to take some British colonies. The British would have been mad at the US for not aiding them in the war which would have inflamed tensions.

I cant see them winning kucn unless they can somehow take Iceland or Greenland which would have given them mid Atlantic airbases.

Only if the south had won. Then I could see the north and south having continual wars later on although maybe not as many as Turtledove saw.

I bet the people of Denmark are damn glad that an invasion did not occur there. Smashed towns and countryside like what we saw in France and the Netherlands. As it was in fact Denmark seemed to have escaped much of the destruction of WW2 since the Germans surrendered before the allies were...
