  1. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    If you look at the demographics of China on Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China#Historical_population Before the reunification of China by the Qin dynasty, the population was a little over 40M people, the reunification wars cost China around 50% of its population...

    What if the Italian unification failed?

    Well, I don't want to engage in too much Savoy-bashing, as Vittorio Emanuele is still revered as a national hero, but I do find it interesting how the historiography, at least in the US and western Europe, treats VE II far differently from Otto von Bismarck. Bismarck is (or was, in the moldy...
  3. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    A glass of styrofoam cup would surely pollute the precious bodily fluids.

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    ...The more fringe/radical/extreme ones I wouldn't mind so much not having a presence. Hopefully, (since a Right-wing Youtube community still exists but not Breadtube) the Internet as a whole isn't too far into one or another in the realm of politics. I can make a map! *clicks fingers* Nice!
  5. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    The main reason for the Bren in .270 is that it makes more sense than a heavy barrelled EM2, as it has an interchangeable barrel.
  6. PC: Black POTCS

    In the 1890s they might just replace slavery with a system of 'apprenticeship' and 'black codes' and 'convict leasing' that amount to slavery in all but name. You might end up with the country 'liberalizing' (for lack of a better word) and coopting mixed-race persons into white supremacy rather...
  7. WI: no Gothic Wars

    What do you think about a prospect of peacefully integrating Ostrogoths into ERE? Have Gothic nobility marry Greeks, be educated by Greeks etc Can Belisarius succeed if given more forces?

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Even with otl resources Crete should have not fallen but a series of mishaps and mistakes let Crete fall
  9. PC: Black POTCS

    I think Brazil could serve as an example of how a post secession CSA would work except for one important detail: race mixing. In Brazil mixing with blacks was THE way the elite choose to "dissolve" the black population among the greater non black population. It was of questionable efficiency but...

    Trouble in Paradise - a Polish-Lithuanian civil war

    The Lithuanian monarch wasn't the most liked figure in the union. In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to state that he was the most despised by many of his polish subjects. The grievances of polish nobles were many in number, from the scandalous marriages that chipped away at royal...
  11. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    A Bren that uses .280 works for me as an idea. The FAL and/or EM-2 and/or CETME 58/G3 in .280 with bipod should also work.
  12. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Only ITTL with a much more capable Hellenic Navy and Airforce Crete will not fall.

    Is Governor Ellie Bartlet still thinking about running a primary challenge against him? Or has that always just been speculative?
  14. What if Europe stayed primarily united as an empire as China did?

    The Roman Empire was divided into two "cultural" areas (Latin and Greek ones), even more probably if you counted North Africa or Egypt or more eastern territories. But at least if the Roman Empire stayed united longer, the Western Empire including Hispania, Gallia, Italy, probably also Pannonia...
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Oh, I almost forgot: 1987’s The Thief and the Cobbler, partially funded and distributed by Disney, was a major flop. $21 million box office against over $30 million in costs.
  16. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    Assuming this is the case, does the pairwise admission of states even happen? Does Maine ever become a state, for instance? Do the states out west take longer to get admitted?

    WI: no Gothic Wars

    The wisest thing for Justinian to have done after the subjugation of the Vandals would be an alliance with the Ostrogoths. Then they could take on the Visigoths and the Franks together.
  18. WI: The Holy Roman Empire Without Napoleon

    Without Napoleon the Holy Roman Empire could last trough the 19. century Some reform, where larger and medium sized member states annex or gain control over the smaller and smallest states seems possible. If Nationalism, calls for democracy, liberty and democracy gain strength, similar as in...
