  1. Australia acquiring nuclear weapons

    Someone sometime should write a 'WI: the Domino Theory actually happened' TL...

  2. What industrialized economy had less government intervention than in US?

    Hong Kong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_kong#Economy "Hong Kong was once described by Milton Friedman as the world's greatest experiment in laissez-faire capitalism... Statistically Hong Kong's income gap is the greatest in Asia Pacific. According to a report by the United Nations Human...

  3. What if Italy had bombed New York City in 1943?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerika_bomber Five prototypes. But sending one on a 'one shot oddity' is fantasy land no doubt.

  4. Britain and France didn't shit themselves in 1936 when Germany re-entered Rheinland.

    tl/dr; Uhh we're not forgetting France & Britain were quietly hoping they could maneuver Germany into fighting the Soviets for them are we? Let Germany grow back a little, just make sure it turns on the other monster instead of us. *plays with fire, gets burned*

  5. Volstead Act modified to allow light wines and beers

    This wouldn't be where the American trend for 'Light' (ultra light by foreign standards) beer comes from would it? I can see it now.. "They think they can stop me from drinking do they! Well I might need to go take a piss a few more times while I'm getting pissed, but there ain't no way..."

  6. What if Italy had bombed New York City in 1943?

    I wrote a WI about potential cultural effects on America if N-Germany got an Amerika bomber through. Expected something like UncleDynamites response, all I got was ASBhowisgermanygoingtobuildtheseplanesASB'MuricawouldshootemalldownASBatlantic oceanASBASBASBASB... It's nice to know even much...

  7. Cultural Ramifications of a Destroyed Statue of Liberty

    Best thing I've read all day. *tips hat*

  8. PC: Anarchy because of Great Depression

    Great Depression / Chaos & Civil War / Mexico right now. What with the drug running violence & the gangs of former special forces guys in Mexico? Sounds like an Al Capone uber-wank where - Prohibition doesn't get repealed in the 30's. - He's got WW1 veterans who can't get a job elsewhere...

  9. Nazi and Soviet Thoughts on Lincoln

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Brigade

  10. Japan keeps Primorsky Krai

    This. The Soviets would have just kept on & on fighting

  11. Atomic Bombs used against purely military targets in 1945?

    There were commentator on a thread mentioning the use of the bomb against N-Germany on here, talking about how if it was to be used against them it'd be used first on an airfield nearby Berlin. Close enough to be seen & understood, without the emnity about the (white) civilian casualties. So...

  12. Chinese - Soviet border conflict turns into full scale war

    Trying to imagine the propaganda by each side. You're the Capitalists lackeys! No You're pawns of the Bourgeoisie! You're the revisionist scum! No You're the revisionist traitors to the revolution! Are too! Am not! Are too!....

  13. Idea: Nuclear Scorched Earth?

    That kind of is wrapped up in the threat of thermonuclear war anyway isn't it? I mean I fire at you, you fire at me, any survivors walk around in a wrecked, irradiated landscape. Even if you somehow manage to fire & hit me hard enough that I can't fire back at you, from the amount you'll have...

  14. AHC: Axis Government in Exile

    Argentina was reluctant to join the Allies OTL. Say there's some incident between Britain & Argentina early in the war before the Americans join & Argentina is pushed further away.. could they be stubborn about it (like with the Falklands Islands OTL)? If a sub surfaces in late '45 with some...

  15. WI: Manhattan Project Fails, Nazis Beat the Reds, Reds Get the Bomb First

    The Germans were also several years away in 1945 though right? So.. sometime before Roosevelt announces the unconditional surrender doctrine, Hitler is assassinated. German Generals organize some kind of uneasy truce, withdraw to something approaching pre-war borders in the East. Americans...

  16. AHC: Get the Greens into the US Government

    Vermont has a Green representative run. They're a fairly likeable, seemingly responsible, eloquent public personality (David Suzuki?) who isn't expected to win but is at least respected. A week out from the election a big scandal hits the regular Democratic candidate. Vermont elects the Green...

  17. WI: oil embargo against Japan in the 1930s

    Tarrifs/barriers to trade etc were all the rage in the 30's though. If the U.S instituted an 'aggression tax' on the export of oil to Japan, what's the likely domestic effect? 'Hey we're squeezing more money out of these guys while we're in a depression & on the side we're promoting peace...

  18. Plausibility check: Kamikaze/Eject tactics by FAA in Falklands.

    Chances that a Skyhawk can get hit by flak in San Carlos, crash unintentionally into a British warship? Effect on British tactics if they can't quite tell if it was intentional or unintentional?

  19. Nukes used in Korea

    So that's the secret (to successfully necro-ing threads, rush the mods!) :P :P

  20. AHC: S-African 'Border War', how bad for SA? How good for Cuba?

    1966 to 1989 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Border_War Like it says on the tin, with a PoD no later than 1966, how bad can it go for South Africa? How well can Cuba/SWAPO/MPLA etc plausibly do?
