  1. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Had they come into SA the US would have immediately began the air campaign and I doubt that Iraq could have held on to Saudi territory. The question is how much damage would they have done to the oil infrastructure.
  2. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Oh thanks man. I forgot this even existed.
  3. Reagan’s reputation on economic issues if no assassination attempt?

    Even Mondale in the 1984 debates conceded that Reagan had improved the country's self image. The assassination was part of it but it went beyond that. The Teflon effect was definitely there, Reagan had no idea what was going on in the White House basement with Iran-Contra. He should have...

    The Rockwell International Mars Exploration Module at contract award, April 1976 17 April, 1976 (HOUSTON) - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced this morning that it has awarded the contract for construction of the Mars Exploration Module (MEM) to Rockwell...
  5. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    Stalin’s fixation on “tribute” from the peasantry, where they would contribute more in gross product to the economy than they received from industry in order to fund economic growth, really sabotaged the whole scheme while only contributing marginally to the economy. Stalin and especially...
  6. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    Does this analysis assume some path out of the scissors crisis? If so, I’d love to hear what assumptions it made about that. This kind of analysis always strikes me as wishful thinking and hand-wavy so would be good to see the specifics.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Integralism being less foreign than Fascism or Nazism is one of the reasons I ended up making that jump. It is honestly quite surprising quite how widespread Fascist-ish ideologies and movements were rising to prominence in the region, but they were just never quite able to get as strong of a...
  8. What if the Italian unification failed?

    Alternatively, Bismarck could end up not becoming Minister-President of Prussia. It isn't exactly off the table to have someone else get the position. But with Bismarck, Prussia may be disinclined to act in a manner that is hostile to a more powerful Austria. As for France, probably... It...

  10. Texas Two-Step: Nixon nominates Connally as VP in 1973

    I think I've been pretty clear a pardon is not in the works. Connally did not engineer Nixon's downfall just to let him off. I've got an interesting idea or two for how to handle Nixon's future. We're gonna have him to kick around a little more. ;)
  11. The Quarter-BAM project

    I have already patched Finland's lakes on the 2021 Quarter-Bam, as well as other places (notably Canada, which I did myself).

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    It's worth noting that Perot wasn't opposed to the idea of a renegotiated NAFTA as his 1993 debate with Al Gore showed. He could find a useful partner in Canada in Jean Chretien. Chretien ran a populist campaign in 1993 against NAFTA and pledged to renegotiate it, but he was unable to convince...

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    expect horses eat snow for water, they die. They need +32 degree liquid water, and for fuel, if you're moving fodder to feed horses, you can move wood or coal It's plenty, really for tractive effort vs what a horse team could do. Best thing about steam, it it has 100% torque at 1rpm
  15. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    No no i meant to say that Bulgaria would have conquered earlier this is why I said l 9th century were the Bulgarian expasion really went more south . Since we both know the bulgarians were turned back in the late 10th century i guess confusion on my part of maybe you confused 9th century with 900s?

    If Indian Removal hadn’t happened, could we see an early civil war?

    Hello, I was reading earlier about one of the most horridly evil acts in American history, Indian Removal. I was struck to learn that Georgia Governor George Troup threatened to remove the Natives himself & attack federal troops if they stopped him during the Quincy Adams Administration, and...

  18. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    You said in your earlier post that you think Bulgaria would have been conquered earlier. My question is - okay, when do the Byzantines turn to conquer it? It's not like how John I seems like he intended to campaign more in the Levant when he died, or Basil II planning an expedition to Sicily...
  19. Cinco de Mayo

    That's still a while off though... Isn't it? Franz Josef lived until 1916, and Max was notably more physically active and healthy than him, and one could also argue that Charlotte's otl death was a bit premature, given her stressed mental state. Though, this does make me wonder; what will the...
