  1. What could have been some alternate Cradles of Civilization?

    The Middle Columbia River would be a fantastic candidate, especially considering that in terms of climate, soil, and topography it's similar to the Loess Plateau in North China which was a center of independent plant domestication. Lots of sites for fishing and mostly sedentary inhabitation, a...

    PDWs as spin-offs from the 'Artillery Luger' in widespread use in 1915-1945

    Current US ATF accepted as 'pistol' That's a Stabilizing Brace® not a Stock, as that would be illegal.🤔 I recall the bad old days, when a C96 either had to have a barrel extension welded on, or the Stock grove in the back ground off, or filled with Weld, so it would be a pistol, or a rifle, and...

    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    if they annex georgia the border would look better. TBF in someway it makes sense not to create a independent armenian state. They learnt the lessons from Serbia and Greece.
  4. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Ilia will be in TAS. That's obviously the bald headed alien. The sexual stuff regarding Ilia in OTL's TMP won't be mentioned in the cartoon, but she will have empathic and some telepathic ability. TAS is going to be a two year extension of the 5 year mission, if I do three seasons of 16 episodes...

    Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    A very tiny note because Wiki also gets this wrong. Mike O’Callaghan wasn’t term limited, as sitting Governor he was exempt from the newly passed law. It would take some effort to get the man to go for a third term he didn’t really want, but it’s not impossible with the right Republican… Anyway...

    Map Thread XX

    Grettings ya'll. Am looking for a map of the Vietnam War in 1968.
  7. Bicentennial Man: Ford '76 and Beyond

    Not sure if I covered the 1977 gubernatorial elections...? If I forgot to, that obviously complicates Andrew Miller becoming Senator of Virginia and means Democrats have 40 (!!) Governorships rather than 39, which was already an all-time high since the late 1930s
  8. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    It can’t be due to the fundamental political differences. In Canada the goal was to support the individual farmers (aka private enterprise) while in the SU the goal was to substitute the private enterprises with ones run by the government. As @Julian correctly remarked, the system did not have...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I wonder if they will use Ilia or Xon in the Animated Series? Is the Animated Series year 1 of a new 5 year mission or do the adventures fit in the Original Series? Lets see those words turned into action Pres Muskie - you got Reagan gunning for your job next time out!

    Greeks also deported to the Levant during World War 1

    Before the war, they already expelled a lot of Greek Christians.
  11. AHC: Harold Stassen elected President in 1980

    This scenario probably shortens Richard Nixon's political career or alters it. Dewey's Presidency will definitely stop the rise of Joe McCarthy and Nixon will enter 1950 virtually unknown outside his Congressional district. Thus, no Senate candidacy.

    How not to build a submarine. The Collins Class.

    Oh but it did produce this gem
  13. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Heck of a cliffhanger. Quick technical note: the C5 was considered as a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft IOTL, but the 747 was chosen instead because of aerodynamic reasons—when a Shuttle separates from the back of a 747, air currents passively separate the two aircraft. But wind tunnel tests showed...
  14. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Also coming up soon: the 1974 midterms. IRL, the Democrats steamrolled the GOP because of Watergate, but ITTL, the Democrats are in power and are being blamed for a stagnant economy, so that cancels out the disadvantage for the Republicans. Therefore, I'm thinking that the midterm results will...
  15. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    The myth of the Evil, White Skinned beings from the East. Kill on sight. They bring disease. This myth is throughout the Americas. Those that ally with the EWS are to be treated as if they were EWS. European keep coming back with stories of blood thirsty savages that cannot be treated with and...

    Catastrophe at Cassville! (Civil War TL)

    Awesome! I love TLs with PODS in the Atlanta campaign. I've always felt that there was a LOT of opportunities for the Confederates to do some serious damage there that could potentially effect the upcoming '64 election. Very much looking forward to what comes next!
  17. AHC: Qing North and Buddhist South China

    I know this is an obscure question but I'm bumping this anyway just in case.

    Sports What Ifs.

    That’ll definitely be interesting. I can’t quite say whether or not they’d even get to the NFC Championship (if you remember, the team crashed in around 2007, meaning that when Smith was actually becoming better, the team would be getting worse). Gruden is a little overrated by his current...
  19. Ottoman Empire continues to consider itself successor to Roman Empire following Mehmed II's death

    Western might not give a damn, Even if they Hold both romes forever, they will still belittle the 'turkismen'. If anything maybe more victories? taking the original rome and HRE collapse too?¡

    No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    That's a given, but wasn't going to happen with Communism
