  1. WI: Churchill or Stalin Die Instead of Roosevelt

    There is no reason to think he wouldn't. The basic rationale--"we have to get the war over with as soon as possible to save American lives"--would still be applicable. "Thus, in view of the 1945 context, as shaped by earlier assumptions and decisions, the use of the A-bomb on Japan seems...
  2. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    Partly due to it having been proposed OTL and other part is the population center was still east of that point during the earlier '30s, so you stay closer to the majority of the population but still move far enough west that it makes it more convenient for other citizens. Based that off a quick...

    Weekly Flag Challenge: Discussion & Entries

    The Banu Ar-Rub' Al-Khali, Sons of the Empty Quarter, are a separatist organisation of Southern Arabia. They arose in 1970s and appear to have their origins in an agreement between the eastern tribes of the Rub' Al-Khali loyal to the former Imamate of Oman and the Yemenite Republicans and sought...

  5. Greeks also deported to the Levant during World War 1

    Deportation absolutely can be ethnic cleansing and often is: eg Stalin and the Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Volga Germans etc I don't see the OP as minimising the genocide of Armenians and other minorities in the empire by describing the deportations that happened too.
  6. AHC: A 20th Century Restoration of the French Monarchy

    Quite difficult, but I think it can be done with three prerequisites: 1) Monarchy needs to be seen as "the wave of the future" so to speak; the most "successful" model around, sort of like Communism for most of the Cold War. The obvious way of doing this is a German victory in WW1, with the...

  8. AHC: Prime Minister Shirley Williams

    Greeks also deported to the Levant during World War 1

    My objection is to referring to a genocide as a deportation. At the very least, it's ethnic cleansing.
  12. American Economic Integration (US as Rome)

    Heh My main interest is just focusing on the most glaring difference between Rome and America’s foreign policies, vis a vis their neighboring allies. On a superficial level, NATO or the major Pacific allies might seem like the Socii, except that those alliances don’t really exist to defend the...
  13. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    Does the rUSSR reorganise its constituents? Does the Karakalpak ASSR get promoted to a full SSR? Does the Gorno-Badakhshan AO get promoted into a Pamir ASSR? Or even a full Pamir SSR? Does the Kazakh SSR form a Russian ASSR? Or is there a Russian SSR formed from northern Kazakhstan?
  14. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    Drugs are rather price inelastic. Regardless of how cheap or expensive it is the demand won’t change.
  15. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    Lincoln Nebraska would be a nice place for it. Both considering geographic center and the name. I don’t think there’s a will for that considering the history of Washington’s creation.

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

    But there seems to be this great sentiment that Quebec or French Catholics would be running and breaking down the walls to join the US. Where the attitudes of the 13 colonies was even more anti-catholic than in Britain since many of the settlers had been at one time persecuted or antagonist...
  17. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Same as Przewalski's horse (which was once domesticated) or yak (wild yak is not tammable, despite fact, that domesticated form exist).
