  1. How Long Would Hitler Have Lived?

    I don't disagree, but you're invited to expand on that.
  2. How Long Would Hitler Have Lived?

    If he hadn't killed himself, what are guesses on how long Hitler would have lived? Let's assume the war ends in some kind of negotiated peace, he's still in power and has access to the best medical care. Hitler had a host of medical problems, including Parkinson's. His father died at age 65...
  3. British Army Questions

    #1. From WW2 until the 1980s when they got replaced by Hummers, the US Army used Jeeps. Jeep wasn't a specific model name, it was the term for the vehicle. Is there a British Army equivelent? A universal ground vehicle like that and if so, what would it be called? #2. The US Army for a good...
  4. Questions about Britain and Ireland

    So how to Irish expats returning to Ireland after Britain goes red impact Irish social mores and politics, etc.? I can see that they would. (And thank you, these are aspects I haven't thought of.) But can you explain how? How do their ideas and attitudes differ from Irish who stayed in...

    You are invited to elaborate.
  6. Questions about Britain and Ireland

    The Wikipedia says Ireland didn't join NATO bc N. Ireland was still part of GB. So, if GB goes communist, N. Ireland breaks free, does Ireland join NATO?
  7. Questions about Britain and Ireland

    I don't know enough about Britain and Northern Ireland, these questions are out of ignorance. I don't know enough about the culture, geography and politics to make things not ASB. So I turn to you all, my friends! If Britain goes communist, does Norther Ireland go communist with it? Or...
  8. Need a Defunct Florida Grocery/Supermarket Chain

    I'm actually fishing for a chain that went defunct in the 1980s, so it would still exist in an alternate 1993.
  9. Need a Defunct Florida Grocery/Supermarket Chain

    I need a defunct grocery store/supermarket chain, that operated in Florida, or at least the Southeast US in the 1990s. I'm not from Florida, so I have no chance in hell to name one. Anybody got anything?
  10. Alexander Severus, First Christian Emperor

    Alexander Severus had a pretty stable rule until the end.
  11. Does a Southern Victory Butterfly Away the USSR?

    But do you radically alter WW1 in a way that keeps the czar from being knocked down?
  12. Does a Southern Victory Butterfly Away the USSR?

    I'm just going to spew some thoughts here. How far do the butterflies fly? If the South wins the ACW, how does it impact Russia? Not much, I'm thinking. But am I just wrong here? The USSR comes from the Russian Revolution. The Russian Revolution happens because of WW1, but 1905...
  13. Plausible 19th Century Spacecraft?

    FINALLY a real answer! Okay, so if you're at the level of knowledge that brings you to World War 1 level tech, could you do ti then?
  14. Plausible 19th Century Spacecraft?

    Okay, so we can get up there. If you had the design, you could make parachutes, right? So it goes into orbit, chills for a little while, then comes back (that part is all math) and then you could use parachutes at a certain point, right? You wouldn't have nylon, but if you had the...
