Thanks all for the input! Anyone have any specific details on how France did it? After reading through everything I'm leaning more towards the continental system.

I'm in the process of writing a historical fiction story and something came up that I'm having trouble finding an answer for. What happens to 2nd and 3rd and so on sons after their eldest brother inherits? I know in most countries the title as well as the land associated with it passed only to...

I don't think it would break down that much as in threads. People would still speak in full sentences simply because the survivors will still be having conversations and speaking. There will probably be a huge decline in literacy though or at the very least many people have bad grammar...

If Lucas was smart he would do an adaption of the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. They were probably the best books ever produced in the EU and came the closest to recapturing the feeling of the original trilogy.

Also, at this time I believe populations projections for Libya showed that Italians were getting close to reaching a parity with native Libyans and possibly overtaking them in the following decades.

I don't think you can change it any meaningful way that people will want to see. Consider the special editions. People hated the changes Lucas made.

That would probably be the biggest box office bomb in history.

I remember reading somewhere that Hitler was supposed to interview for a position as a set designer at a theater but was too shy to show up.

A lot of Lovecraft's racism was also more of a going out of his way to be offensive in certain social circles. Also, it should be noted in his later years his racism was on a bit of a decline. I doubt it would ever go away completely in his writings because too many of his concepts were...

Rome will form another army and invade again and be even more brutal. At this point in history Rome did not suffer defeats. They would keep coming back again and again knowing eventually they'll overwhelm the barbarians. It might be the end for Caesar though. Unless he can convince Pompey...

It would probably be a disaster. The air force would need to have 2 sets of officer schools and training programs. One for airmen and officers actually going into the air force and another for the men who are going to be the airborne units. Germany tried this in WW2 when they had the...

I concur. Goebbels is probably the scariest option because he will follow Hitler's dreams and Nazi ideology to the letter. He is going to make sure that Germany fights to the last man and that every single undesirable is executed. In order from scariest to least I would rate them as: 1...

Some people die. The rest of the population learns to avoid people bleeding from every orifice. Every few decades an outbreak will spring up. Rinse, repeat. Basically. Ebola hits too hard and kills too fast to be a true plague. Ebola fails at being an efficient virus, that's why it is so...

No one considers themselves evil. People will justify their actions for their own self being. They may loathe what they did but they will try to justify it in their minds be it through ideology, religion, us-vs-them mentality..etc. Heydrich though probably had no concept of good or evil, or...

This could have easily happened when you consider that Britain and France were both considering launching bombing raids on the USSR in order to knock out the oil fields that were shipping oil to Germany.

Same location

One of the differences between the United States and most countries is that Washington D.C. is not also the most populous city in the country. In most other nations the capital city also serves as the main city of the country and is the most populated. So your challenge if you choose to...

As stated above the easiest way to do this is eliminate FDR. Maybe have him not run in 1940 following the tradition of only 2 terms per president or have him die of an earlier illness. If historic events then proceed rather similar to our timeline with no US entry and probably no attack on...

Isn't this basically what operation dropshot theorized in their warplans for a WW3 in the 1950s?

Not to mention that the Soviets produced almost no trucks what so ever themselves. That's what allowed them to produce so many tanks(tanks which were designed not to have a long life expectancy anyway.) So without all those trucks from the US, the Soviet tank industry would have been much smaller.
