The Turkish government has expressed interest for quite a while now, but untill recently, its always been considered too far outside of Western Europe. The main problem is the Soviets, or so conventional wisdom states. Coexistance has been pretty stable since the end of the troubles in the late...

West of the Iron Curtain, investment in alternative energy sources would increase, but in the east, efforts will be made to keep everyone as dependent on the USSR as possible.

I'm of the opinion that earthquakes can be triggered earlier if there is more pressure exerted on the land, from, for example, a city. Even a small city weighs several million tonnes, whether or not such a weight is placed on or near a fault line is bound to effect seismic activity quite seriously.

Impossible. The more territory it controls, the weaker Israel will be.

Your challenge is, with a POD after 1900, to get Palestine, (under any form), to be an Axis power. Palestine needs to be an active member of the Axis, and not just a passive supporter, and needs to be involved in at least some of the theatres of World War Two.

You'd need to have the Mediterranean basin under a single political authority, which is impossible with a post-1900 POD.

Its not even a matter of being evil enough, untill quite recently mandatory sterilisations weren't considered that controversial. Sending death squads off to forcefully abort undesired children probably is ASB, but involuntarily snipping peoples' tubes while their under your medical care is all...

That's just ridiculous. Walking around without a weapon is practically asking to be killed. Even when people have no intention to take a life, they still always keep a weapon on themselves to deter attackers. Even some kind of insane anti-homicide regime came to power, I don't see how they'd be...

Gladiatorial battles will continue untill Kirk and Spock put a stop to them.

Once aerial warfare became a reality, it became imperitive that soldiers should have some upwards peripheral vision.

Involuntary sterilisation was common throughout the Western world during the 20th century, and according to a quick google search, was in South Africa as well. Its quite simple really, whenever someone undesirable ends up on your hospital bed, you just administer a chemical sterilisation...

Well, the definition of murder is to kill unlawfully, and there are laws in place throughout the world that limit the right to kill under certain circumstances. For example, here in Sexeland, provincial law forids killing a clergyman on sacred ground, a captain on his ship or a...
