One thing that would help is find a way to get German immigration heavy enough to sour opinions of them and make them the focus of scorn by other groups. This will cause them to group together more and lessen legitimate opportunities . Then you need a few powerful criminal groups that decide...

Russia. But I am of Russian blood so I usually want to see how they are doing and generally include Russian characters and terms in my stories. Kinda like Robert Rodriguez but with better story structure.

They may not have backed the South, I've seen timelines where they fought against the Union but refused to declare any type of alliance with the South due to the whole slavery issue. The trick is getting them interested enough to risk war, which is tricky in itself.

I remember a previous thread saying that the best way to remedy this is have the French army get a bloody nose in a way that made their military shortcomings obvious enough to anyone, in particular Napoleon III before the Franco Prussian war. Maybe they drop the ball in Mexico, become a...

It removes some but not all. The main issue isn't that it is toxic at the level of tobacco, but that it causes minor issues that can have consequences over a long period of time. When you take into consideration the lack of all the medical safety net we've come to rely on, this can lead to...

Tofu has the same problems, the only variations I can think of that would be available without many of the drawbacks are fermented. Regardless, the main criteria with the initial question is that they need a crop for rotation that will function in the same fashion and it has to be something...

Seriously, people believe that? I keep telling myself not to get surprised, then I am there again.

It's a complete protein, but it's difficult to digest and causes a lot of gastrointestinal upsets as well as possible issues with phyto-estrogens, prevents absorption of certain nutrients including B12, possibly interferes with thyroid function, reduced protein digestion, etc.... None of these...

Funny thing is that health nuts and nutritionists have said for years that it was a poor substitute for dairy. I remember taking a class in the 90's and a acupuncturist said they considered it just as bad as milk causing digestive upsets and phlegm production. The only benefit is that you...

Soybeans weren't the greatest food source so it might work in the indigenous cultures favor. Though didn't they use it as a rotation crop?

You could also have him do too much due to a mistake by the doctor or have a bad reaction to the combination of stress and drugs. A nervous breakdown, a bad fall down the stairs, an overdose, etc..... Something that puts him out of commission for awhile. He might even be a little more...

Doubt it, he's deep in hostile frozen wasteland surrounded by people who wanted him dead. Plus I hear that it wasn't really the burning of the town that did it. He managed to save enough of the town to weather the winter. After the burning he realized he would never be able to maintain his...

It's more like picking a guard dog, it's a mixture of temperaments and drives. You don't want anyone too strong and competent or they may want to do the actual job on their own and discard the master when they are positioned correctly. Someone too weak and incompetent they will say the wrong...

He would definitely be far loopy to be anything more than a puppet. Isolation like that all his life would leave him with little social skills or cognitive faculties and I imagine he'd spend most of his days hiding from people. Very likely drinking himself to death or committing suicide...

You are offering us quality entertainment and brain candy for free. I say do whatever works best for your flow and not force anything out.

He could have done more, a lot more. But he wasn't good at long term stategies. His mind worked like a freight train, once it got started it didn't change direction. Historians have argued that he could have kept more of his gains and maintained the first French Empire if he would have...

Yeah, we (the US) were willing to turn a blind eye to that rather than loose a valuable ally. So in this timeline it is even easier to dust under the carpet, or bury in mass graves in the middle of the wilderness.

Sounds like more of a one off, and not a live action movie. Producers wouldn't want to risk the money on a comic that doesn't fit with canon and risk loosing possible viewers. Sounds interesting, but not a blockbuster.

Change Hitler's military history slightly. The main reason that he didn't use those types of weapons was literally due to his experience in WW1, in particular when he was blinded. I am curious how this would affect his personality and how he lead the country. It obviously had a big effect...

I think it would strongly depend on how we came to fascism and when. The more desperate a times, the meaner people can be. I'd think it would be more of an extreme version of the 50's mixed with a lot of subtle and not so subtle propaganda. Folksy racism, unspoken insults, religious...
