  1. No Pakistan: what happens to Balochistan and the NWFP?

    Why would they want a buffer with Iran ? India has always wanted a direct oil pipeline to the Middle East.

  2. A weird "Byzantine Empire 1910" map apparently from a TL where Turks never reached Anatolia

    Id say this map also implies the Fourth Crusade didnt happen as OT. Looks Like Iran has the Euphrates ? Also what happened to the Serbs and Bulgar Kingdoms ?

  3. A different middle east.

    WW 2 goes differently cause there's now a US colony in striking distance of the European Axis. Hitler might just give a greater priority to the Middle East.

  4. What if Reagan was never elected?

    Just remember the man was elected twice. So voters didnt have a problem with this.

  5. What if Reagan was never elected?

  6. Can the Allies win WW1 before Russia collapses ?

    Indeed . My ultimate aim is to delay to arrival of the USA as a global power. Without intervention in WW1 (or WW2). the US will likely remain isolationist

  7. Can the Allies win WW1 before Russia collapses ?

    Basically I'm looking for a plausible scenario where the allies win WW1 before Russia falls to revolution AND before the US joins in. Is there any plausible way this happens ?

  8. Could the Kriegsmarine have assembled a battlefleet for the Atlantic ?

    Was it possible for the Kriegsmarine in WW2 to forgo the piecemeal surface raiding actions they did with only one or two ships and assemble a larger force to break into the Atlantic ? Specifically could they have combined Bismarck, Gneisenau , Scharnhorst , Scheer, Lutzow ...

  9. Discussion on a Failed American Revolution

    Second American Revolution can occur in a couple of times. 1. Early 1800's as Britain is absorbed in fighting Napoleon or whatever version of Revolutionary France exists in this timeline. Both becuase revolutionary ideals would find favour in the 13 colonies and because so much attention...

  10. Was Napoleon making himself a monarch a mistake?

    Eugene was never heir in Italy . He was only Viceroy not Prince. It was a sore spot between him and Napoleon.

  11. Was Napoleon making himself a monarch a mistake?

    Was it at all plausible for him to remain married to Josephine and simply adopt Eugene as his heir ? It would fit his roman pretensions.

  12. If a communist revolution were to take place in the United States, what’d be the international and domestic consequences?

    You're going to have to create some more detail. Communist by itself is rather vague. Like which brand of communism and what are its leaders goals. Communism in one country vs global revolution.

  13. If a communist revolution were to take place in the United States, what’d be the international and domestic consequences?

    Why? Presumably this communist US also wishes to maintain its dominance over the Western Hemisphere. Specific govts might fall but the US sphere of influence will still exist.

  14. The four types of colonies, and which of OTL's colonies could have been another type with relative ease?

    Thats holidaying not living. People live in places where they can make money and the British West Indies were a backwater .

  15. Dunkirk: what if no escape ?

    I get it . You dont actually know what the Brits did post fall of France do you ? So you think concentrating thier forces in the Med is something brand new when that is exactly what they did . You also dont know that they literally went scraping troops from every colony to build up thier...
