  1. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    I just got this reading that part: The massive war in South America plus the Mccarthyist purge-scares at home that I predicted in another post become a constant of the late Steele period, sinking the country into the most 1984-esque levels of paranoia and hysteria we´ve ever seen ITTL. This...
  2. Germany goes East in 1914 - French Munitions Production?

    This was a reasonable and interesting discussion thanks to the above for that. Some thoughts against British intervention: There is no ultimatum to give Germany here, no leave Belgium now or else (what would happen if OTL Germany just said "oopsies, so sorry" and backed out of invading Belgium...
  3. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Maybe, but the problem is that we have literally no idea of knowing if they are capable of being domesticated. The horse (Equus ferus) is domesticable, but at the same time the various zebra species which are also in the Equus genus are extremely temperamental and not domesticable. Taxonomy on...
  4. WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    strangely enough we can understand a significant number of Scandinavian words, not Finnish specifically, but Norwegian. Estonian is not among them though. Probably not what the OP meant or actually understands, since he thinks they can just go ahead and take everything. But still.
  5. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    At least armor and 30 mm. So a smaller airframe (easier to armor). Hs129 started in 1940, the pod is a earlier realized requirement for the need to shoot up tanks. The Char B being designed then went for 40 mm armor. Requires more than 20 mm guns.
  6. Reagan’s reputation on economic issues if no assassination attempt?

    I’m sure they were! And as someone who’s discovered, or rediscovered, heavy metal in my 50s, I do appreciate a wide variety of music. :)
  7. Explain the AH Quote

    The news of a Carthiginian agent within the Roman Empire and how the nation went into a theocratic empire, thus jeopardizing changes of peace between Rome and Carthage. After the Punic Wars ended in stalemates, they made a ceasefire and recognized territories. The Carthiginian thalassocracy...

    If You Can Keep It: A Revolutionary Timeline

    I was genuinely so confused at first. I thought I'd accidentally clicked on the actual Crusader Kings thread here. Did like a triple take before I realized I was in the right place.
  9. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    well no, you can't since the division of Arabia into Colonial territory, was done way before the LoN was a thing.

    List of monarchs III

    What if Queen Emma won the Hawai'ian Royal Election of 1874? Monarchs of Hawai'i 1873-1874 King "William" Lunalilo (House of Kamehameha) 1874-1884 Queen "Emma" Kaleleonālani (House of Kamehameha) [1] 1884-1890: Queen "Miriam" Likelike (House of Kamehameha) [2] 1890-1896: Regent ''Charles''...
  11. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Roosevelt .. was racist against Germans, and that's why he opposed the Nazis? He banned discrimination against Germans and Italians in the defense industry in 1941, and had key men of German ancestry running the war effort (Eisenhower and Nimitz, to start). This is bordering on conspiracy...
  12. WI: Muhammad born female

    I'm going to go against the grain here, supposing she develops the same political acumen and charisma it is not impossible that she does manage some spectacular achievements. Her being married off to one of the other leading men of the Quraysh is a given, given her status as an orphan it is...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Yeesh. It's pathetic how many times the crimes are right out in plain sight.
  14. The Quarter-BAM project

    Exactly that, i agree that trimming down smaller and unnimportant lakes to coastline pixels seems better, otherway they get in the way of representing land. Like in South Baden where Lake Costance swallows 3 pixels. Coastlines in general i found to be pretty good, although the Adriatic can be...
  15. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    i mean modern in the terms that its not gibbon he is a 20th century historian and he was not wrong about but if you wanna a more recent one Paul Lemerle and Alexander Kazhdan both agree with jonh that the revolt of thomas was started after Leos death not before it that was later invetion by...
  16. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Nope. The 20th Century was a very bad one for the British. That downward spiral started in earnest at the Marne in September 1914.
  17. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    It's entirely in line with the thinking of the time. You aren't going to have designers in '33-'39 coming up with '44 solutions.
  18. TL-191: After the End

    On the post war era blamegame, so it seems, would the Democrats be hesitant to blame Herbert Hoover leading on the road to war and the eventually accept that fact? Based on the books, he was the one who went passed the point of no return by authorizing the CSA to rearm itself, as well as not...
  19. Medieval America Mark III

    A bit of a surprise seeing Alaska while we're dealing with the East Coast but it is a pleasant one nonetheless.
