It doesn't. Japan still gets annihilated. There's a good analysis of what would happen even if the Japanese fleet was untouched and the US lost three carriers here.

Where are those troops and transports coming from? You'd have to divert them from one of the other invasions going on at the time. For that matter, did the IJA even have commandos?

Let's presume that, somehow, the South was able to win the Civil War (perhaps some battles go the other way and McClellan ends up winning the 1864 election). It's now approximately 1920 and a general war has broken out between the US and CS. 1. How has each side's navy developed to the...

www.chesterton.org There's a whole bunch of quotes on that site.

True, but after the Crusade in southern France and the first inquisition, it really never came back with near as much power as I recall. It'd be pretty hard to get an HRE civil war I think. And who says that the French would dominant the union? I'm going to put a large English colonial...

Less Canada jokes. The Nimitz might be somewhat of a joint project between the US and Canada similar to the CVF is with France and England.

Have actually, though I don't remember much other than the misguided attempt at an air-defense weapon with his name. No. I don't deny that the Marines were such. Bad phrasing really on my part. Stealing the limelight would have been a better choice.

I thought you liked having the Ottomans win though :p Does seem kinda ridiculous now though. I had forgotten though about what sort of effect the Soldatenrentnersiedlung would have on military numbers though. No need for the NA after all.

Ok, to solve the logistical problem: Philip knows that he is going to have to invade Hungary eventually. He's also going to need lots of troops. A fleet equal in size to the Spanish Armada of OTL is built up and, over a course of a few years, transports approximately 40,000 Native Americans to...

According to what I can find, it only knocked off about 25% of the Aztecs (though the Incas were royally shafted). However, it looks as though it'd be pretty easy to have the smallpox spread be of the Variola minor variant, which has a much lower death rate. I need to look up the numbers on...

Because I took it for granted that people would realize that Indians still keep dying off.

Any comments?

The Marines did manage to steal a good amount of credit from the Army during WWI (though that was in large part due to the media not getting their facts right) as well as in WWII. Army had more divisions in the Pacific if I remember correctly, but you only hear about the Marines.

Have the best PR group of all the branches and constantly steal the credit from the Army.

Panzerkangaroos invade California.

Ok, do you have the ACW ending in a manner different than OTL? Because that's extremely relevant.

You missed my point. Without French involvement in the ARW (and the accompanying military buildup), they never would have gone bankrupt and would have paid off their debts as a matter of fact. No bankruptcy, thus no need for new taxes, thus no call for a meeting of the Estates General, thus no...

That was never such an American sentiment though. The casualty totals for the US in the first war are absurd as well. You're talking about deaths equal to the number that the Union took (from all causes, including disease and such) during the whole of the Civil War, from only two corps deployed...

Without French involvement in the ARW, they wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and thus there would not have been a revolution and Napoleon would never be the pain in the butt that he became.

ASB. The US didn't give a rat's butt about European conflicts, and the idea of spreading or defending democracy in other nations didn't come around until President Wilson. Furthermore, while small punitive expeditions and naval campaigns of the time frequently happened without a declaration of...
