    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    As a thought experiment, consider the idea of what the Soviet Union and United States would do, if they turned their resources to space, rather than fighting ground wars in the Third World. This allows for the development of the European and Japanese space agencies. This allows for authors to...
  2. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Exploration of a little idea I had. The Iranian Socialist Revolution.
  3. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

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

    No As I have stated repeated in previous posts and other have agreed that Quebec fight the British at same time and becomes an independent country could work. The Rebels from Protestant south go north and “liberate” Quebec and expect the French population to greet them as liberators and want...

    What if Karl von Habsburg’s coup in Hungary 1921 had succeeded?

    more or less yeah he acted too fast. I would say an attempt in 1922 or 23 would have been exceptionally successful for Karl.
  6. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    we are now back at square one. now then; the idea is that the uk can adopt the mag in 7.62x51 as the standard mg, and use the L4 bren as a substitute to cover any gaps in their to&e while the mag spins up production
  7. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    I think building it in southern Illinois would put a lot of pressure to make the thing into basically an Honest Abe theme park. At the very least, someone would suggest that, and the idea would be bandied about. Probably wouldn't happen, though, assuming at that point he was still a figure of...
  8. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Apparently when he was CIGS General Slim always thought the best way to market the EM-2 and .280 was to deploy them in Germany and let the results speak for themselves.
  9. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Also, USSR might retaliate with chemical, radiological and bioweapons (over Western Europe), which while not as devastating as nukes, would still hurt badly France / Britain / Germany.

    What if Karl von Habsburg’s coup in Hungary 1921 had succeeded?

    https://journals.openedition.org/rha/305 This source is in French, but very instructive on French policy towards the prospect of monarchical restoration in Hungary in the 1920s. There is nothing in their Quai d'Orsay archives to show that France was prepared to reconsider its policy of opposing...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Out of all the proposals for English spelling reform, I like Simpel-Fonetik the most, as it was based on pre-existing, largely phonetic writing systems such as those of the Finnic and Polynesian languages. 139 Terrorists Ärrested: Tshäärman Hougan kools on ool Americans tu invouk their...
  12. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Just for the record, the drug in that movie was opium. But assuming the same basic scheme... I'm not an expert on crack cocaine, but wasn't it already pretty cheap to begin with? I know things can always be cheaper, but I have to wonder how many otherwise reluctant people would be tempted to...
  13. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    What if the UK adopt the .270 EM2 short barrelled Carbine instead of replacing the Sten smg with the Sterling, this gets the gun in service with the British, The American Army see this in Germany and a grass roots campaign is started by the officers for both the round and the carbine. The RM...

    I wish the Stargate franchise will take off in this timeline too.
  15. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Nukes might help while but even with them Allies hardly can keep colonies forever. And with nukes you have problem that you should re-construct cities.

    What if the Italian unification failed?

    I said in that ATL, unfortunately I am not proficient in German though ;) In my proposal of missed Italian unification I could be a Habsburgs' subject like my great great grandpas (on my mother side) and great grandpa (on my father side) of the Austro-Italian Empire I don't like the Savoia...
  17. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    France was completely dependent on US ammunition supply at the point that this decision is being made. They are hardly likely to bite the hand that fed them. As a matter of fact, France being included in the decision at all can be seen as part of the campaign by the US to kill the .280. Their...
  18. Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    The clear knowledge that the war could not be won. If there were no American troops and thus no kaiserschlact, morale would have held up a few more months. More pertinently, French morale would not have.

    What if Karl von Habsburg’s coup in Hungary 1921 had succeeded?

    radical socialists were 1/3 of the parliament in france during this time. They wouldn't really be a threat to the ruling National Bloc. Czech PM Cerny told Benes that if the French supported the Habsburgs then the Czechs would not intervene at all.
