  1. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I don't think it changes anything to the British logistics. They were going around the Cape anyway. Losing Malta doesn't change that.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    The Savoy may be Dukes, but like the Lorraine, Bavaria (and others) are "independent" Dukes. Is not the same. Some books or authors refer to the daughters of the Dukes of Savoy, Bavaria or Lorraine (and others) as "princesses" as they are daughters of independent Dukes. Although I am not sure...
  3. Reagan’s reputation on economic issues if no assassination attempt?

    The assassination attempt had little to do with it. All he had to do is not be Jimmy Carter. Not having a "Carter-like" presidency was enough for him to win in a landslide.
  4. Reagan’s reputation on economic issues if no assassination attempt?

    Supporting regimes that murder and rape with money and weapons, at times just to signal to the Soviets how tough and committed we were, and at times for perception just for the sake of domestic politics, I mean, if anything is evil, that might be a candidate. But not just Reagan. All through...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    During WWII too many to sum up. Pre war is another thing. I propose not developing the He 100/112 instead or at least simultaneously to the Bf 109. Its potential envelope was much bigger than that of the Bf-109. I suppose the same goes for the FW 187 as opposed to the Me-110? The FW 190 A...
  6. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    True. I suppose it depends on if you count that as "foreign threats" or "internal instability", since the barons not exactly opposed to Louis (at worst) are kind of both of those things at the same time in this particular context. It would be genuinely interesting to compare to China over the...

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Yup, if Baghdad is gone then there's less of a reason for Rhomania and Persia to desire more land since it's essentially just villages, farms, and wetlands. I'd have to concede that I would've believed in such a dream had Baghdad survived intact. But no, B444 makes it clear that Baghdad was...
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I meant the animated version of the musical Time. And also I have to get the image of Betty Boop engaging in wanton bestiality with a squirrel out of my head.
  9. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Yeah. I’m aware of all of this. I’m more interested in the problems British logistics would encounter when their unable to act to the same degree they were OTL.
  10. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    On Herbert Hoover, does he still make a fortune as a mining engineer in Australia and the Far East working for British-owned companies despite national animosity? Or does he make his fortune elsewhere? Would he still be famous for providing hunger/famine relief during GW1 and the post-war? He...

    How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Domestic horses came from ONE stallion so it's not like Equus Ferus had that great of a temperment for domestication.
  12. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Is there any evidence for that prejudice against Germany at all? While certainly the US was racist against Japan, but Roosevelt only started actively trying to contain them and Germany when they started invading other countries and committing horrific crimes. “Roosevelt opposed the Nazis, but he...

    AHC: Christianity for Africa, Islam for Europe

    ...a century or two before the appearance of our Mongols so that Christendom is still fairly weak and Paganism still a recent memory. Meanwhile Egypt, *Africa, and Morocco hold out, perhaps along with a few southern European Christian powers, making Christianity the prime force influencining the...
  14. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    German 30mm program is a bit too late for 1940 (talking about series production, not prototypes), so the 37mm will be needed. Have the Fw 187 powered by BMW 132 radial engines of 900+ HP by 1938, outfitted with a pod containing a 37mm gun (probably either Flak or the AT gun; my prefered gun here...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    So in your eyes, it was canned in both timelines. In a way that makes sense even if this world's NASA is a bit more militaristic. But all that means is that the Mars missions are pushed back or it is pursued by private companies like SpaceX is doing OTL. We have no reason to think that's not on...
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Rocky and Bullwinkle would fit in nicely along with Betty Boop.
  17. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    The thing with the NA theater is that more stuff doesn't necessarily lead to a better situation, because you need supplies to use that stuff. More LW to support an attack further east, means that the fuel needed for those planes won't be available for tanks. Yeah, I know they use different fuel...
  18. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    Yes, that’s it. Proves the requirements are within conceptual reach. How would the German version be? And how would it perform.

    What if Stalin demanded Port Arthur from Mao in exchange for assistance?

    The Soviets did operate Lushun Naval Base from 1945-1955. However, that was merely basing rights. Getting China to formally cede the city as a concession straight out of the 19th Century is a whole other can of worms. Were Mao to accept such terms, it'd cost him the civil war then and there...
