  1. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    Using that logic, Independence Mo might be a good choice. Plus it was quite small at that time as KC had not grown out that far yet.
  2. Germany's 'Inspired' Strategic Bombing Options

    That correct as far as the 'Blitz' campaigns... Again thats correct. The trick is not all enemies could be be defeated by a swift ground/air assault. Britain in August-September 1940 is a example. The attack on the Brit air defense failed. Given it was supposed to prepare for a ground...
  3. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Not when stretching your borderlines means gobbling up millions of people who speak a different language, are from a different ethnic group, follow a different religion, and who will take violent exception to being forcible added to your nation. That's taking on a massive undertaking that's...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Glad you're OK and taking a break. Well deserved I think. Also really glad the thread isn't dead, your supplying a bunch of addicts at this point I think.

    AHQ: Without WW2 when will KMT China overtake Japan as the Asian power

    No Second Sino-Japanese War or no occupation of Manchuria? In the former case China might not catch up, especially if Japan can make effective use of Manchuria's vast natural reasources and solid industrial base. In the latter case... it'd depend on how you define overtaking Japan. In pure GDP...

    Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    @Madhukar_Shah can i ask some more questions. Is there any products or anything or value the empire can't produce and has to import? Also whats now the current fashion trend in the mughal empire? How is corruption in the empire?

    Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    It’s normal for countries to surrender when they know they’re going to lose. The general staff knew it, the soldiers knew it, the civilians back home knew it. They could have dragged the conflict into 1919 but what would be the point?
  8. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Compared to other fandoms, i would say that TNO is only rather below average in terms of degeneracy and toxicity.
  9. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    So you are making the claim that autocracy led to minor discoveries over a milenia while the opposite led to major advances in a couple of centuries? I disagree with this argument. I believe that as science progresses, it becomes easier to create faster progress. The advances that occurred so...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    Actually it's about giving that same alliance greater recognition and success.
  11. Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    Yep. This is often overlooked. Even if everything was hunky-dory on the German home front there's no way they could have stopped the Allies on multiple fronts.
  12. AHC: Make George W. Bush pull an LBJ, and announce he won't run in 2004.

    @Alias_The_J Alias, I don't understand your first step. If a later attack has no harmful effect on Bush, how does it increase the likelihood of him resigning?

  14. Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    Best outcome for the CP is asking for terms in the spring of 18, rejecting them, launching the spring offensive against the British (George) Then asking for terms again. That's probably the best terms they could get - maybe refusing again, and then trashing the 100 days offensive (that now...
  15. PC: Black POTCS

    DuBois was a Yankee and likely wouldn’t have gone to the South like he did IOTL. Another quibble is that Miller was prominent in DC, so unless the capital is moved I see it very unlikely that he’s in the CSA.
  16. WI: HRE Matthias has a son

    Bavaria won´t be able to get elected as the three protestant votes would not be his and the Bohemian one as well. Though he´d have the vote of Cologne. Though Spain might be more like-minded with Ferdinand the king is a cousin of Maximilian III., so that might count something

  18. AHQ: Without WW2 when will KMT China overtake Japan as the Asian power

    They did, in fact, in the Xi'an Incident. Japan had not invaded yet (unless you count Manchuria), but they were widely perceived as being very threatening and the primary opponent of China, with a lot of grass-roots support for opposing them. They did invade only seven months and a bit after the...
  19. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    It is true and is merely commonplace because it is correct. Autocracy does not mean complete stagnation but it usually means slower rates of innovation and economic growth compared to constitutional governments. When you do have fast growing autocracies, it is because they are copying a trail...
