  2. Saddam had nukes Bush's reputation

    Okay so anyone who has lived more than decade knows that Bush was largely reviled because of the false claims that Iraq had nuclear weapons. Say Iraq does a clandestine nuclear program that is discovered after the 2003 invasion how will that effect perceptions of Bush domestically and...
  3. WI: 1980s Backlash Runs D&D and Fantasy Out of Business

    Might we see mass book burning?
  4. WI: 1980s Backlash Runs D&D and Fantasy Out of Business

    Oh the same at my high school really such subgroups are a media/culture invention than anything reflecting the reality of high school.
  5. WI: Joseph Stalin at 100

    Source on the holocaust?
  6. DBWI: Religious Right takes the Place of the Religious Left

    OOC: If I understand correctly it's seen as bad form to posit what happened OTL in a DBWI.
  7. WI: 1980s Backlash Runs D&D and Fantasy Out of Business

    You have to recall in those days such activities were far from what was seen as "normal" behavior and if it wasn't normal it was fringe and hence potentially dangerous. Nowadays roleplaying, cosplaying(I find that distasteful), and other such things are accepted if not mainstream. The kids...
  8. Roe v. Wade overturned in 1992

    The religious conservative would be truly ecstatic and would push further efforts to restore morality(as they perceived it) in the country.
  9. The Germans Launch a Massive Offensive Against Russia in Late 1917

    Maybe not the scale and penetrating depth of the crisis in Russian society but they had to know the Russians were' a threat. You have the strikes, the protests, the struggling liberal government, the propaganda, really Russia wasn't even in the game at this point. It was facing a crisis not...
  10. What if the Kingdom of Rome was never overthrown

    When Brutus(I believe) drove out the last king didn't he fleet to Eturia or something? Seems to me that the Roman monarchy was tied to the Etruscans?
  11. What if the Kingdom of Rome was never overthrown

    The Roman Monarchy is a lot more legendary than confirmed history. However I've always interpreted the Roman monarchy to be tied in a tributary sense to the Etruscans. So if the Monarchy still lasts-I guess you'd need a weaker aristocracy to make up the senatorial class you'd have Rome never...
  12. The Germans Launch a Massive Offensive Against Russia in Late 1917

    Russian society was disintegrating on its own, the Kerensky government was unstable the calls of agitation were growing greater and they couldn't hold out much longer.
  13. The Germans Launch a Massive Offensive Against Russia in Late 1917

    You say the launch a retaliatory offensive after Kerensky bungles. In late 1917 the Americans were coming and the balance was shifting why would the Germans devote even some of their efforts in the east when they need to win in the west ASAP?
  14. The Germans Launch a Massive Offensive Against Russia in Late 1917

    Why would they launch an offensive then declare peace?
  15. The Germans Launch a Massive Offensive Against Russia in Late 1917

    Would have cut through the Russians like butter, the army was exhausted, the government bankrupt and its people disillusioned with all sorts of promises, it was really a sort of paradigm shift given the whole scale of the crisis. As it is with American troops coming en masse across the...
  16. Terrorist groups which could have taken Al-Qaeda's and ISIS's place in the early 21st century?

    I'm not honestly sure what beyond say a different Islamic set of terrorist groups, If the Cold War continues and communism remains viable you might the USSR supporting communist groups. Oh wait did you say 1990 hmmm well the conditions that led to Al-Qaeda and its spinoffs were well advanced...
  17. What if the Soviet Union invaded Eastern Europe in the early '30s?

    Trotsky was a thinker and would haven't gone on some foolish attempt at conquest knowing that would likely result in the USSR's destruction. He would have encouraged technical and technological exchange with the west while having the Cominterm be a sort of think tank-similar to the US's CFR or...
