  1. More effective Japanese ASW in ww2

    The problem is if you are worried about USN Subs in home waters you have to accept that you can't win the war and so should not start it....... The IJN simply can't fight a fully mobilized USN in a long war (even without a mostly distracted RN) so any study will simply say you should not start...
  2. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    Confederate Battleship CSS Louisiana performs shore bombardment duty during the Confederate Invasion of Haiti. Taken from the aft deck of Cruiser CSS Roanoke.
  3. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    I didn't say it would quash any progress in science or other fields. I said it would prevent a revolution in either science or industrialization. Most likely you get what we saw elsewhere: incremental progress, which gets largely absorbed by population growth.

  6. AHC/WI: austria expands more into Italy

    I prefer a little more politness in answers. And a little more informations than just a Wikipedia link... The Austrians were able to keep Naples only until 1738 until the Treaty of Wien. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Vienna_(1738) So it seems that Austrian rule over Italy was not...
  7. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    India was united under the Mughals for most of the half millenia before the industrial period. Even with the late breakup, Bengal was probably best shot at industrialization outside of Europe.

    WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    I agree. Maybe because taking all of that territory at once is a British Empire-like venture. Also with the fact that they would have lots of disputes (insert Japan and Russia) this is not possible. As a matter of fact, should we ask someone to move all of this guy's countrywanks to Alien Space...
  9. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Kill off Upton Sinclair and other muckrakers in the early Progressive movement and we could easily postpone the formation of FDA (Food and Drug Administration). If that's not possible have a Democrat in charge from 1928 to 1932 so that Republicans control the country during the Great...
  10. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Could crack cocaine rendered into pharmaceutical form still contain whatever properties make it crack cocaine? I honestly don't know much about what makes crack crack, beyond that it's cheaper and usually smoked.
  11. Trouble in Paradise - a Polish-Lithuanian civil war

    We are in 1411, not in 1569... The Poles found interesting Eastern Ruthenia to annex to the Crown of Poland only at this time. In 1411, these lands, east of Red Ruthenia which was already Polish since a lot of times, were completely depopulated by the Mongols Invasion and the still going...

    Treaty of Rastatt - Am I a joke to you?
  13. Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    Agreed. Few things more satisfying
  14. Could a Great India avoid the Chinese conquest of Tibet?

    No, because most of the rivers in Tibet run west to east. Additionally, Lhasa claimed eastern Tibet, which was already controlled by various China proper governments for the past couple hundred years, so that would be a major friction point.
  15. Driftless

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Fester has also made several general references to the Chinese doing better on land and in the air, so there's pressure on the Japanese from that direction - especially the IJA. Though keeping them supplied under the conditions of this TL has to be even worse, for both the IJA and IJN
  16. Could a Great India avoid the Chinese conquest of Tibet?

    I don't even think it would be an issue. Mao would want a buffer state in between himself and Greater India. It's a similar sort of issue to Mongolia--the benefits of controlling the territory directly are outweighed by the cons of having an even longer border with Russia. Here, the benefits of...

    I need some suggestions for the currently unmarried children. Any ideas?
  18. France in 1799: Feudalism, Napoléon and the Republic

    By "feudalism" they might mean the old pattern of different laws in different provinces, rather than the uniform legal code. I suppose it is possible that this could have returned but would tend to doubt it. The general trend across the centuries in France was toward more centralism in...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    They ordered a pair of Brooklyn class derivatives from the United States back in 1935 with the express purpose of making the order ahead of the treaty. Which accidentally cost about a year's worth of Greek exports to the United States. Effectively Wichita class but with slight differences in the...

    France in 1799: Feudalism, Napoléon and the Republic

    No. In 1799 feudalism is died and was buried. The monarchy was already trying to get rid of it before 1789, it was the lack of substance and political will that prevented it.
