  1. PC: A Civil Rights Act for Northern Ireland

    You seem to think that there was much attention both in GB and the World to the issues of Northern Ireland before the Troubles escalated into open violence, but in reality there wasn’t. London doesn’t give a crap about how Stormont was behaving, to them they had “solved the Irish Question” in...

    What could have been some alternate Cradles of Civilization?

    I thought of the basins of the three principal Siberian rivers (Ob, Yenisei and Lena).

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    You know I'm wondering when Disney's first real stinker in either movies or TV show is going to be. While they had a few rough performances in the 80's, there were no real disasters or box office bombs throughout the decade and it was pretty much a nonstop ride up for Disney. It'll be...

    Good hunting sir.

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Fixed thanks! Research into the introduction of American varieties begun in OTL in late 1935 in the Tobacco institute of Drama, but was hampered by lack of proper financing. It took till September 1940 for Law 295 under which the Greek ministry of Agriculture would oversee the experimental...

    Sports What Ifs.

    My point was that Leinart would be so bad as to secure them a great place to draft his successor. If they're smart, they go after Matt Ryan, as you've said. He could secure long-term success, particularly when the younger Harbaugh comes along.
  7. WI The Hunt For Red October?

    Maybe combine it with Firefox - which IIRC takes place in the early 80s too. For realism, not the unrealistic beast of the novel/movie, but a very advanced prototype in a TL were the US missed stealth. In any case, if the whole thing is confirmed post 2000, I wonder how Putins Russia would take...
  8. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    So how you gonna kill Edward to get Edmund the throne and unite the tourists and lancastrian in a alt Tudor family
  9. WI: no Charles Martel

    Is it possible? IIRC Andalusia had a problem that Muslims made up only a small part of the population so settlers and soldiers could be drawn from a small pool of recruits. @John7755 يوحنا

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

    Because Jeju was the first place that popped into mind for me. Decent sized island that would have good access to Korea, Japan and China. Looking at the map, Geoje would probably work as a base as well, especially if they couldn't nab Busan.
  11. What could have been some alternate Cradles of Civilization?

    The European hunter gatherers were only overrun because they had smaller population sizes, if they have their own new more intensive subsistence strategies there is no reason to believe they would be overrun as opposed to what happened in the middle east which was more bilateral mixture. This...
  12. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    The L4 (or the Bren itself) is nice-to-have with EM-2 in regular service use, not a necessity. Thus I'd go full on with EM-2, invest in FN MAG and manufacture it, and keep Bren as-is in reserve. Same as I've suggested before.
  13. WI: no Charles Martel

    no Charles Martel means no battle of Poiters, or a battle which is won by the Arab raiding force. Successful raids pave the way towards further Arab expansion, leading to Arab raids going as far east as the Rhine, or towards Milan, or in both directions.

    WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    Or even if they allow the British to access the port of Cape Town (or Kaapstad as the Dutch called it). Hey, the Brits buying food and supplies for the journey to India would bring in some money.
  15. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    That would likely give you a crack epidemic, but also a USA unrecognizable from the one we know. And actually, it would have to be unrecognizable even BEFORE legalization, in order to give us the political alignment neccessary to attain legalization in the first place.
  16. What if Karl von Habsburg’s coup in Hungary 1921 had succeeded?

    That's assuming Karl's death in 1922 is butterflied away which seems likely. If he lived and regained the throne, that would have major implications. That would definitely galvanize monarchists in Austria and throughout Europe, but it would also galvanize the anti-Habsburg crowd too. A...

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

    So what happens to the creators involved? (Lists provided here and here, in case you need a reference) Do they simply make different videos? or do some of them still make political videos? Also what happens to Right-wing Youtube?
  18. British Alfred von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha lives to WW1

    So the second oldest son of Queen Victoria, Alfred von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, had been German Prince. He died in 1900 OTL at only 56. In 1914 he would have been 70, in 1918 he would have been 74. Alfred drank heavily after his son commited suicide, the cancer might have been caused by it. So...
  19. What could have been some alternate Cradles of Civilization?

    On a similar thread I mentioned the mouth of the Volga River Delta at the edge of the Caspian Sea. - Perfect for agriculture. - Sea access for trade and fishing. - Perfectly suited to act as a middle man for Steppe Nomads and the Middle East. - Delta doesn't freeze over in the winter so Delta...
  20. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Perhaps Congress decides the tax revenues would be useful and legalises ALL drugs.
