  1. WI: USA and France split Canada & Maritimes after ARW.

    The main thing I'm wondering with this thought experiment, is what happens in Quebec during the French Revolutionary Wars, and what happens between Quebec, the USA, and France if the Quasi-War still occurs and turns into a formally declared war between the USA and France? So for the sake of...
  2. WI the US annexes Baja California?

    OK, if we're going with a Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that is everything OTL plus only the Baja and nothing more, then this area will have to be discussed in the Gadsden Purchase. Since the US controls most of the Colorado river at this point, what use is holding onto that small area of...
  3. WI the US annexes Baja California?

    Why does there need to be a Gadsden Purchase? ITTL Baja is part of the treaty, so obviously the negotiator Polk sent down decided to take more than the OTL, but not as much as Polk wanted. Perhaps they asked that the new border is drawn slightly lower like on the 31st parallel from the Gulf to...
  4. WI the US annexes Baja California?

    Why is it assumed the borders between California and the Baja are the same as OTL? Since the USA took both territories as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe in this new time line, why couldn't they just adjust the borders between these two new states north a little so that San Diedo is in the Baja...
  5. WI: Domestic Terrorist Attacks in the United States Occur in 2003 Instead of 2001?

    Remember Democrats already had the Senate after Jeffords flipped, so they'd keep control there. I can see them holding on to Minnesota and Missouri, and flipping New Hampshire and maybe picking up Colorado too. The House should swing toward them as well since the gap was so slim, and Republicans...
  6. If you could change One event post 1900..?

    Sterling hurting his neck was a shame. Imagine Favre having him for 5-6 more seasons, they definitely would have won back to back Super Bowls. If we're doing sports changes, then mine would either be Don Mattingly never hurting his back, or Len Bias not doing cocaine. Having Donnie Baseball...
  7. Determined to Destroy Us - An Axis Victory Cold War TL

    I'm not sure if that was part of it. I know part of the program was taking "Aryan looking" Slavic children and placing them with German families so they would be Germanized. You may be right, I'll have to look into it.
  8. Determined to Destroy Us - An Axis Victory Cold War TL

    That's horrifying, but not beyond what the Nazi's were willing to do. Even before getting the technology for harvesting eggs from "Aryan" women, they could engage in a program of using sperm donors from their best soldiers and artificially inseminating a select group Slavic women slaves. If they...
  9. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    Look at the growth rate in the US during the baby boom. The population grew 18.5% between 1950 and 1960, and that's without mass immigration. Now take away equal rights for women in the decades after that, and ban abortion, and the pill when that becomes available. Then indoctrinate your...
  10. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    Certain films were allowed if they didn't go against state propaganda. Are you saying there were movie theaters showing banned films, that the average Soviet citizen was able to watch on a regular basis? Probably because of legalized polygamy. How many men are actually married, and how many...
  11. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    Which will be heavily censored by the Nazi regime. Do you really think they'll get American movies and TV shows? It makes it more expensive to have children. Plus most of Saudi Arabia gets welfare from the state. Guys who rely on government handouts aren't as attractive prospects for marriage...
  12. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    Modern technology like the internet, movies, and TV gives women a clearer view of life in the rest of the world, as to what choices they should have in a modern society, like how many children they can have. Being dependent on oil exports will limit your economy and the types of jobs men can...
  13. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    That's with modern technology and a country that is dependent on oil exports and has limited resources for expansion.
  14. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    Again, women were considered equal in communist countries and were expected to work as well as have children. What would happen in a system where they couldn't do that, and were expected to marry and be a stay at home mother from a young age?
  15. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    But that's as of 2017. We are talking about 1945-2017 here. Of course the fertility rate will still drop over time, but they'd be starting at a higher rate in the post-war period.
  16. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    But most of those were under communist governments, or at least left leaning governments that preached equality of the sexes. If women were kept out of many types of jobs, and had limitations placed on their education, then wouldn't that result in a higher birth rate? They wouldn't be expected...
  17. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    I'm not disagreeing, just trying to put the size of this Reich into perspective. Yeah, as far as everyone is concerned, by the modern day it would be considered "fully populated."
  18. WI: Nazi Germany Controls the Lands It Wants in the East. How Long Does It Take to Populate Fully?

    The size of the Greater Germanic Reich will depend on where they draw the eastern border, and whether or not they betray Finland and absorb their territory into it. A border at the Urals, and a country that includes Finland is about 2.9 million square miles. Brazil is almost 3.3 million square...
  19. AHC: President Jerry Brown after 2010

    Obama never enters politics, and decides to teach at U. of Chicago full time. Kerry wins in 2004, economy still crashes, and he loses to a Republican in 2008. Schwarzenegger wins re-election in 2006, but his second term is a mess and Brown wins in 2010 as per OTL. Hillary loses to the Republican...
  20. 1960 Nixon Presidency Effects on Republican Race Relations

    I disagree. He wouldn't actively work to block it, but wouldn't work to push it through either. I think he would hold off so he could take credit for it after getting elected President in 1964.
