There have been proposals to move the capital since the beginning of the country but what if as a way to not only create jobs during the Depression but also as a way to portray to the country that the President and Congress are trying to be more responsive the citizens needs by moving the...
Your projecting something that wasn't a dominate sentiment. The American Patriots had no strong desire to make Quebec a State, or oppress it's people. They wanted to secure their Northern boarder. A friendly Quebec was more then enough for them.
I think it's not overstated polítical division is one thing but the kings were by far not absolute monarchs in the early middle ages
As we go on the middle ages something of a balance of power showed up in western europe between the king , the church , the merchants /towns and the nobility...
What makes you think the Patriots wanted to abuse the French population? It's not as if there were no Catholics in America, Maryland was a Catholic State. I think your projecting something from the War of 1812, or thinking of the anti-Catholic Pilgrims. NE had changed a lot in 150 years. If the...
The closest to OTL I could see it is if the Militarists were willing to settle for Manchuria and were willing to really slap down junior officers who stepped out of line. Court martial them and then execute them for treason or something similarly dishonorable.
If Japan backs off after taking hold of Manchuria, then to be honest, I don't know if the KMT would. They were infamously corrupt and absolutely hated; the CCP was small, and I doubt they'd take it over. But it is typically quite hard for a corrupt autocracy with an incompetent administration to...
Wouldn't really consider this a bad map since it's completely intentional. It's much easier to fill in the territorial waters as a part of the specific region in which the islands are a part of than individually coloring in each island. Sure it's lazy, but it gets the job done
Cryhavoc101, could you add the 7.92 CETME cartridge figures to your table of ammunition in post 64 please. it would be interesting to see where this round fits with all the others. Personally i really like the idea of both the FAL and the EM2 chambered for a 7.62 CETME bullet
Now, also working on a background scenario, and I'm trying to get a bit of an early 70s retro-future vibe where it fits. Any suggestions as to what I should include? (There has already been a limited nuclear war, which is why the US is now a fascistic ape labor dictatorship.)
Quebec has an Iron works and one the major players in that was a huge supporter of the American Revolution. His name was Christophe Pelissier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christophe_P%C3%A9lissier_(businessman). So we do have a Potential Quebecois founding father in him and we have an increase...
I think it depends on how much you think the French Revolution had a affect on the concept of Nationalism.
I think it'd exist but be largely defunct unless reformed in some major way. At some point the Electorates will annex all of the smaller states and Austria will have to decide whether or...
And they still thought long and hard about declaring war on the western powers, waiting till it seemed the Soviets were on the ropes.
No one liked what the Japanese were doing in Asia. But it is not hard to come up with some scenarios where the Japanese are strung along on a shoestring until...
Yeah, circa "Conquest of", although I'm stretching the timeline out a bit, since the notion we go from no apes to mass ape labor globally in under 20 years is sort of ridiculous. (I mean, chimps need 15 years just to reach physical maturity...)
This just isn't true and is borderline cliche. Autocracy does not automatically equate to intellectual stagnation.
- The Roman and Byzantine Empires in otl were known for many scientific advances, most notably in architecture and engineering, but in other fields as well.
- The Catholic...
