  1. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    From Calbear's description in the linked thread the 63 destroyers does include the 28 destroyers of the Southern Force (TF 79) which I assume are the 28 destroyers with Oldendorf, but the 63 does not include the additional DDs and DEs in the three Taffy groups.
  2. Map Thread XX

    Sideburns and checkered blazers For real though something like the sci fi movies of the time with the population eating Soylent/people and all the greenhouses being in space.
  3. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Wank the crack epidemic, or in street lingo, "A Crack epidemic on crack"... Probably find some medical use for it is the best idea for making this possible.
  4. France in 1799: Feudalism, Napoléon and the Republic

    I thought feudalism was dead even before the French Revolution?! A full return doesn't seem likely at all.
  5. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    On the inevitability or non-inevitability of collectivization, the classic Nove-Millar debate is still available: https://moodle.swarthmore.edu/pluginfile.php/401221/mod_folder/content/0/NoveMillarDebateonCollectivization.pdf
  6. WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    By colonising Natal and expanding inland from there.
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Dear Allan, Please do not interpret this as an inducement to rush to make the next post, but I did notice that your last activity was on Tuesday which is worrisome. If up to it, if you could just give us a "thumbs up" that you are okay, that would be greatly appreciated. Both in in-thread and...
  8. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    That's an interesting take on things. That it would require the shock of the loss of Korea to trigger some form of regime change or coup in Japan. But as you noted in this TL it appears as if the Soviet victory will be a little slower arriving then OTL. What I would hope is with the USN free...
  9. France in 1799: Feudalism, Napoléon and the Republic

    I was wondering if there's any truth to this statements. That if something had happened and Napoléon had not taken power in 1799 that things would really have gone to shit as they claim. Granted, this article also says that Louis XVIII succeeded Napoléon as "emperor", but we'll disregard that...
  10. A Guide, Resource, and Repository of Could-have-been Ideologies for your Alternate History

    Honestly I'm not sure that said ideology needs its own post. Maoism hits pretty much all of these buttons and is still (officially if not in practice) the governing ideology of China and a guiding principle for many elected Marxist movements around the world.
  11. PC: Black POTCS

    I'm saying that if black people were on pace to be the majority in the Deep South, the white majority would start doing things like redefining what it means to be white to include people like Homer Plessy, or at the very least come up with legal/social categories to define people like Homer...

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    the 1787 would definitely be a dumpster fire of year. they would probably be protection language in the bill of rights. probably a weaker federal government overall but think Quebec would also be suffering the articles of confederation so maybe not as weak as you think but they would definitely...
  13. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Ah, yes indeed, the “Anna Karenina Principle,” as described by Jared Diamond.
  14. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    So it screws up the preparation for Downfall.

    Trouble in Paradise - a Polish-Lithuanian civil war

    Ruthenian lands at the time were extremely valuable and not just the Podlasie region. The money that came from those lands easily rivaled the earnings of Prussian ports. I dont think the poles would pass on those if they could help it. Poland IRL kept the union because it felt the needed to get...
  16. Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    Great to see Newt losing. OTL the man was uniquely damaging to American institutions.
  17. PC: Black POTCS

    Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the first "black" POTCS looked like Homer Plessy.

    AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Essentially this, if you could get some sort of alt-Perdue Pharma to get medical professionals all over the country to start selling it under the guise of ‘non-addictive pain relief’ or other nonsense, you could probably get a parallel to the OxyContin craze and current opioid epidemic but...
  19. Could a Great India avoid the Chinese conquest of Tibet?

    Let's say India gets Bangladesh and Pakistan proper during the independence era, and manages to keep the country stable, within the realities of the subcontinent, during its early years. Could this Delhi be capable to defend Tibet from Mao's aggression in the 50s? And before someone asks, they...
