I know I will get killed for this, but I read in a book a while back that early in the war the Union, due to a superior navy, ahd the chance to capture a number of coastal Confederate cities. Assuming they had done so, would the Union have been able to launch several campaigns from these...

So if, for whatever reason, the US did not enter WW2, how tough would it have been for the British/Commonwealth soldiers in the Pacific. Not to imply that without the US they were screwed, but I'm sure having the US Navy, Marines, and Army was a welcome help for the Australian and New Zeland...

So i just read that in 1946 the United States attempted to purchase Greenland from Denmark. If the Danes had agreed, would this have had any significant effect on the course of American history? Would Greenland have become a state (if they could somehow get populated enough), or would it remain...

OK, so if King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem ahd not been a leper and consigned to an early death, what would the historic implications have been. I think that Baldwin IV was the best king the Kingdom of Jerusalem ever had and would have been able to stabilize and perhaps preserve the Kingdom. The...

Playing Rome: Total Realism as Carthage and throughly whooping the Romans made me think: what if Carthage had won the Punic Wars and gone on to be the dominant power in the Mediterranean? I have a few ideas, and would like to hear some from other people too. 1. This one is obvious. The...

I was wondering if anyone else knew about the timeline for the video game Crimson Skies. I just wanted to know, since the game seems pretty cool and I hope that the background is just as good as the gameplay.
