    WI: Make Anatolians the craddle of European civilization

    I mean, if you buy the theory that the Indo-European urheimat was somewhere in Anatolia...
  2. How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    I don't think "Sour grapes on the Battle on the Plains of Abraham" is a winnable electoral strategy.
  3. The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    Very cool to see Sean Haugh mentioned in this timeline. He was the friend of a few friends and lived in a house I visited a lot my freshman year in college. Snipped from the main post by President Benedict Arnold: Sean Haugh (REF-NC) was a libertarian member of the Reform State Party Council...
  4. WI: Make Anatolians the craddle of European civilization

    Make it so instead of Greeks, some people speaking an Anatolian language are the forfathers of European civilization Population size certainly an advantage, so is terrain (to a degree) we hich is also conductive to political fragmentation
  5. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    I think is worth remembering that OTL limits at 1LNT are basically based on what was existing in the RN already so even if the RCN was counted they would simply enlarge the limits (and might marginally make RN/GBs position stronger as it could afford the arms race a little bit more with more...
  6. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    Sometimes not all that much resented. A lot of them were fine with trading back breaking labor in the countryside (Even today bailing hay is heavy labor. Lifting 25 KG+ hay bails on a conveyer all day loses its charm quickly) for what was often somewhat easier labor in the city wasn't a bad...
  7. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Ocean going requires a reason. Oceans are big, scary and foreign. Going into it for no reason whatsoever when you have a giant continent makes no sense. Domesticated animals, especially draft would allow trading over distances which would then encourage trade, which in turn would encourage ocean...

    WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    The first major discovery of minerals was in 1866, that is way past the POD. The English must have had hindsight to have this motivation.

  10. 6 inch gun on a S Class destroyer , acts of desperation Hong Kong

    Seem fairly doubtful that the conversion would be doable. According the NavWeaps the 4"/40 Mark IV on the destroyer weighed 2,450 lb/1,225 kg and fired a round (one piece fixed round) that weighted 47.5-52.3 lb/21.5-23.7 kg, while the 6"/45 Mark VII tipped the scales at 16,572 lb/7,517kg with a...
  11. Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    Even if morale held up in 1918, Allied material superiority would be overwhelming in 1919, so really it was the failure of the Spring 1918 offensive to win a decisive victory, failing that victory Germany should have sought an armistice in August 1918 while her Allies were still in and the...

    How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    So, about Brazil, LaRouche was an ally of the brazilian politician Enéas, who was the far right underdog on the 1990s Enéas would quote LaRouche conspiracy theories publishied on the EIR magazine all the time, such as claiming that George Soros was the largest narcotrafficker in the world, so...

    6 inch gun on a S Class destroyer , acts of desperation Hong Kong

    Lettow-Vorbeck's Cannons salvaged from the scuttled SMS Königsberg. Of course, not everyone had his kind of drive and devotions from the troops to do the impossible, for years at a time
  14. AHQ: Balance of Power in Asia if No WW2, or any other major conflict happening

    You are going to need some sort of big PoD to change UK's position on the US then - They wouldn't want to piss them off. So either the UK is a lot more anti-Soviet, and feeling less dependent on the US (all of which is hard to do) - Maybe the PoD is that the UK, France and Germany all get along...
  15. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    Probably Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy has a civil war or further conflict but stays capitalist, India, China, Taiwan, Korea, Indo-China, I am not sure if Philippines turn as well, I think they had a small communist uprising but am unsure how big of a role US had. Austria stays neutral. Germany...

    Napoleon 2nd in 1830?

    A friendly France would be a massive boon for Austria as they'd have a counterweight against Russia and Prussia. This could potentially solve the issue caused by Austria's diplomatic isolation in the later 19th Century. Though this might end up tying Austria to France sort of like how it became...
  17. Trouble in Paradise - a Polish-Lithuanian civil war

    i don't think the nobles of Wielkopolska and Malopolska cared about Lithuania if it decided for independande after Jagiello death. And if they elected the Masovian Duke as their King, it is because he will not able to limit their powers.
  18. Greeks also deported to the Levant during World War 1

    The Christian population was quite divided before and during the civil war . I don’t see enough Greeks being in Lebanon to result in a Christian majority.
  19. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    I read an article a few days ago which challenged this hypothesis actually. It compared Botai horse teeth to the teeth of Pleistocene horse species and asserted that the dental wear shown on Botai horse teeth was from natural wear and tear, and not from bridles. The Boers tried several times...
