  1. Pacific Ordeal

    I'm pretty sure he said the Balts were sold out the same way the Poles were at Yalta. Also I remain surprised that Roosevelt can still override Churchill to this extent, the British are in far better position than in 1945.
  2. I read a Harry Turtledove book last night

    I love his short stories, and he really got me into AH, but this site's stories are of far better quality now.
  3. Successful Burr Conspiracy

    There is a short story I read named Empire by William Sanders in the book Alternate Generals III that kinda uses the Burr segway to put Napoleon in New Orleans in control of much of the Southeast and Louisiana with Andrew Jackson as his general in chief and Davy Crockett and Sam Houston as...
  4. Pacific Ordeal

    This looks very interesting, I am looking forward to actually following along rather than reading the whole thing in one go like the AANW. Keep it coming!
  5. RCP's The GOP Race for Delegates (Tool/sort-of Game)

    Mine keeps crashing every time I get to Texas, no clue why.
  6. AHC: Post-Llewellyn the Great Wales as powerful as possible

    What it says in the title. How powerful could Wales possibly be with a POD after Llewellyn the Great takes power? How united could they be, and how much land could they hold?
  7. English has strong regional dialects like France and Germany - what happens next

    Of course, but I will say having more local news broadcasting helps mitigate the merging somewhat, at least in very diverse areas. I can still tell when someone from Knoxville comes to West Tennessee, for example, but in areas like Nebraska I imagine that is much less distinguishable.
  8. English has strong regional dialects like France and Germany - what happens next

    It depends on what part of the country, Midwesterners have lost diversity but I can tell someone from Minnesota or the Dakotas from someone from Kansas, for example. And the plethora of New England accents, even just within Boston, is still around.
  9. English has strong regional dialects like France and Germany - what happens next

    This is even more true in the US.. I'm from Tennessee and go to school in Indiana and have to repeat myself all the time.
  10. AHC/PC/WI: Have These Be The US Demographics by 2000

    St. Louis isn't Exactly in great shape when it comes to population lost either...
  11. Those conservative democratics!

    That would be really hard to do, since you'd have to reduce the influence of people like Robert Taft at the time. I figure you could significantly strengthen the power of the Southern Democrats also since they were radically different from the more progressive northern Democrats.
  12. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/34530 won as Ford 270-268 while losing popular vote.
  13. AHC: Wales and Cornwall stay connected

    Yeah, that's my point. I was trying to imply that Cornwall and Devon remain part of Wales. While a land connection is far easier than a sea one in terms of staying united, it would involve screwing Wessex to the point they can't threaten very often. Of course, the Welsh kingdoms keeping some...
  14. AHC: Wales and Cornwall stay connected

    Is there any way during the Saxon invasions for the Britons to not be split in two? How could they be stopped before reaching the sea, and how long could that line be held?
  15. AHC: President Lamar Alexander

    What it says in the title. Is there a way Lamar Alexander could've become President of the United States?
  16. What if Operation Margarethe II was carried out (occupation of Romania)?

    They become even more thinly spread, and facing Romanian troops allowing Russians into the country means they take more losses and the front opens quickly.
  17. AHC: Canada as the Premier Nation of North America

    Here's the thing about canada gaining population: Imagine how cold it is living in Michigan in the winter. Thats the warmest part of Eastern Canada. It simply cannot support the population the US can by a large margin.
  18. Newt Gingrich novels

    I really enjoyed the Gettysburg trilogy, even if it did have a repeat of Pickett's charge.
  19. Bizarre moments in history .

    Jack Churchill storming the beaches of Normandy with a Claymore and killing a German soldier with a bow and arrow in the retreat from France should count for this.
  20. How Many Terms Could Ulysses S. Grant Get? -- REDUX

    I couldn't see more than three. Corruption scandals and the like would bring him down. I still doubt he could get elected a third time to begin with.
