I wrote this on this board back in January: "Nordic Alliance in World War Two"

They used to be the little "..."..." . Apparently they don't transfer well from Word. I dunno.

The problem is that if they enter any of these three countries, they'll run straight into the armed forces of the United States of America. And, believe it or not, they will lose. While the US may have a hard time with Iraqi insurgants, the US military can, at the moment, kick the shit out of...

Well, actually, if it matters, I first used this style on the old board: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discus/messages/5/6430.html But it doesn't really matter.

? It's an expression. I simply said that you'd be a sucker to think that that France would ever look after anyone's interests but its own. I didn't say that the EU was a puppet of France. So, I don't really know what your point here is... Yeah, take a cheap shot at the United States...

Oh shit, everybody will be shaking in their booties then!! GIVE US WHAT WE WANT OR.....WE'LL GO HOME AND REMINISCE ABOUT THE GLORY DAYS OF NAPOLEON - THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO!!! But seriously, these nations no longer possess the power to, unaided, project a substantial military force beyond their...

No. You don't have to, but you have to be able to. Japan has the second largest economy in the world, but can't do jackshit about anything if anything happens to them. Their economy is a glass house. If anyone throws a rock at it, it will break, and there's no way for them to threaten the...

This is rather nonsensical. Are you trying to start a war here, or what? The more powerful China becomes, the more powerful its military will become. The more powerful the Chinese military becomes, the more they'll want to flex their muscle. The longer this takes, the greater the population...

Truthfully, I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to do. I haven't looked ahead more than a year or two in TTL and I'm just trying to go from one step to the plausible aftermath of that step and so on. I don't even really know what WWI in TTL is going to look like.

Yes. He was born in NJ and was the superintendent of the NJ State Police during the late '20s and early '30s. He designed the NJ SP from the ground up and it was he who led the police investigation into the Lindbergh kidnapping. Not that I'm aware of. Or, at least, not to a great degree.

A Loose Bandage Pt. 9 August 1908 – June 1909 - Just weeks prior to the election, the first steam shovels bite into the soggy Nicaraguan soil, beginning the excavation of the Nicaraguan Canal. It is projected that the Canal will take at least seven years to build, setting the...

Both McCain and Goldwater were born in US territories and were, thus, "natural born citizens" eligible for the Presidency. George Romney was neither a natural born citizen (born in territory belonging to the US) nor, obviously, a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and...

Dukakis could have won? Maybe if George Bush killed Reagan, ate his corpse, hung himself with his own boxer shorts, then newly nominated Dan Quayle proclaimed himself to be the Lord of the Idiots and the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, Dukakis *might* have gotten a third of the electoral votes.

A) George Romney was not born the United States and, thus, would not be eligible for a Presidential election. B) There is no chance that the United States as a whole would pick a primarily Spanish-speaking President, even if Cuba was admitted as a state. It's just not going to happen. Every...

Hell, I'll freely admit it. I don't want Europe throwing off the chains that protected them for over forty years from the Soviet Union...

Be that as it may, the essay is directly relevant to the topic in that the coup begins with the unification of the armed forces, leading to a greatly increased amount of power for the reformed position of C-JOS, expanded roles for the military and, finally, the coup itself. Did you even...

See "The Origins of the Military Coup of 2012."

In OTL, by 1904, Cadillac was in a much stronger position than Ford. Only a few lucky breaks brought about the Ford empire. In TTL, Cadillac remains ahead of Ford. The Great Panic of TTL is simply an extension of the Panic of 1907 in OTL. However, because of Root's lack of interest in the...

No. DuQuense did. I quoted him in my response.

I think that with eight years done, that will conclude the first section of the timeline. Any comments? If anyone has anything to say regarding the plausibility and events of Section I (1900-1908), speak now or forever hold your peace...
