  1. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    That would depend. What were the other films of 1948 ITTL ?
  2. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    OTL, Disney was making successful live-action films at about this time. Why is this animated rather than live action? Was George Pal's Destination Moon made ITTL? Incidentally, what are Heinlein, Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke doing ITTL? Foreshadowing a fatal accident.
  3. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    I think you mean "the reunification of Germany"
  4. Could America have gotten away with using a nuke after 9/11?

    What happens if the fourth plane, (the one that in OTL crashed in Pennsylvania) reaches the White House? Isn't there going to be a public response, even among registered Democrats, wanting to communicate to the world, in forceful terms, that killing the President of the United States is...
  5. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    As in OTL, this may well be more difficult than it sounds, particularly if Russia acquires the artworks in question. ITTL, it may even be possible for Goering or his heirs to put in a claim for any items previously in his possession, on the grounds that the Reichsmarshal had come by them...
  6. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Is the Republic of China neutral during the Korean War? Korea would seem to be a natural ally of China ITTL against Manchuria. Or do the Koreans prefer a divided, and therefore weaker, China?
  7. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Obviously not three letters, or even three words, in English. Do you mean 'three character message'? Would this be three characters in kanji? I think what you mean is the Miracle of the House of Brandenburg, the Hohenzollerns, not the Hapsburgs.
  8. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Excuse my ignorance, but could we have a translation please?
  9. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Kubrick can still make his black comedy ITTL. It will be rather different from the OTL version. Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Germs The Doctor's original name will, of course, be the Japanese for "strange love". In moments of emotion, he will address the...
  10. AHC: A Competent Nazi British Invasion

    What happens with a 1914 POD, if Hitler joins the Navy rather than the Army?
  11. WI:Republic of Indian Stream survives?

    Can the USA and Britain agree a compromise solution with joint administration, an American Andorra?
  12. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    This reads to me as though it has been carefully staged. Can three burglars, almost certainly carrying firearms themselves, be rounded up unaided by one man? I suspect that Chaplin may have had a great deal of help to present himself as a local hero.
  13. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    Thanks, Sloreck. That's what I was looking for.
  14. How Silent Fall the Cherry Blossoms

    To what extent are American hospitals at this period racially segregated? Particularly in the South, will there be demands for separate facilities for White and Black plague victims? What happens if a plague-carrying redneck chooses to discharge himself from hospital rather than share a ward...
  15. WI: Japan gets the bomb before 1945.

    This is probably the most realistic possibility for a Japanese A-bomb. Most others are either: i) ASB or ii) Have a POD so early that the best description of the outcome is "It's a Second World War, but not as we know it". If American strategy still proceeds as in OTL, the Americans...
  16. The Sloppiest Alternate Histories Out There...

    Two popular series with AH settings, which both suffer from the same major defect when considered as AH: Temeraire Merry Gentry Both these require ASB-level changes from the dawn of history, involving a second intelligent (and powerful) species sharing Earth with Homo sapiens, but have...
  17. A drink and a slip and a dry UK....

    How does German propaganda make use of this enforced change in the British way of life? I was thinking of starting with a leaflet drop over London, exhorting the common decent people of Britain to rise up against their oppressive government. This would include photographs, showing not only...
  18. AHC:Have Latin be the most #1 spoken language on Earth

    The Romance Languages How high does modern Latin stand if you regard all the Romance languages as dialects of modern Latin? Would it be the world's third-commonest language, after Chinese and English?
  19. Commodus' Empire

    This won't be a new discovery. Eratosthenes discovered the size of the Earth four hundred years before the POD. Islam ia butterflied away. Does Mohammed disappear from history ITTL, or does he become a Christian saint, as in Turtledove's Agent of Byzantium ?
  20. Remember, Remember, the Third of October...

    Where exactly would Charles have been when the explosion happened? If he's in Parliament as a spectator with his elder brother, do all factions agree on Elizabeth as the legitimate heir, or is there another candidate for the Protestant or "anti-terrorist"[1] party to unite behind? "Carlist"...
