    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    While this is a pop culture timeline first and foremost (and probably my favorite and/or one of my top favorites at this point), I'm really interested in the World you are building up outside of Popular Culture as well, or behind the scenes, you could say. Some more non-pop culture related...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?
    Threadmarks: Chapter Five: The Conclusions of an Eventful Year

    FARC Rebels Operating in Colombia, late 1993 The Final Events of 1993: Africa: The civil war in South Africa continued to escalate, as the SADF Junta properly fortified it's orange line with concrete fortifications, trenches and fought off numerous attacks of the Free South African Army...
  3. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I mean, you're arguing that FDR wanted war with Germany because he secretly hated Germany and Germans, not because he opposed the Nazis invading various countries. That's a pretty relevant. I don't really think an unfair naval treaty is the same as actively pursuing a war of aggression. Japan...
  4. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    Britain is only really allies with Prussia. Russia just happens to be on the same side because they share the same position as Prussia regarding Poland.

    AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Roman society evolved differently from that of the other Germanic Kingdoms. Rome and its history of popular despotic rule is similar to China with the ruler's mandate to rule being SPQR being similar to the mandate of Heaven. The Imperial Chinese system endured until the 20th Century even...
  6. What if Stalin demanded Port Arthur from Mao in exchange for assistance?

    No, and Stalin asking for it would cause the Sino-Soviet split a few years ahead of schedule.
  7. Explain the AH Quote

    A quote from the 2012-2017 Podcast How to Rule an Empire, a History podcast published by Mike Duncan, distilling the great lessons of all the great empires in history, and how they ruled and held onto their territory, and how they lost it. He covered the Persians, the Romans, the Gothic Empire...

    This crisis is going to get a lot more attention once everything else in 1892 gets a fair checkin - and will be REALLY important in the Far East's development
  9. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Whatfor? I already said it wasn't relevant? But sure i can dig it up. You really should look up US Japan relations. Hint, start with the Washington Naval treaty. And again, in an ATL, where Japan haven't invaded anyone 1920-1941 until it declares war against the Soviet Union - I.e at the same...
  10. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    This is de-railing this thread, which I'm happy to do because I find carrier stuff endlessly interesting, but it might annoy other people. Firstly, Albion, Bulwark and Centaur were completed with hydraulic catapults, Centaur with an axial flight deck and the Albion and Bulwark with 'interim'...

    Threadmarks: Maximilian of Mexico

    "...Zuloaga's advanced age and poor health could be ignored no longer, not by the deputies of the Assembly who formed his most reliable power base nor at the Chapultepec. Hat in hand, kneeling prostrate despite his bad arthritis and with tears in his eyes, Mexico's longest-serving Prime Minister...
  12. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I mean, I doubt the US would declare war on Japan at all of it attacked the USSR. It would just oil embargo it to stop it from being aggressive, as the US did IOTL. But what’s with this pro-Anti-Comintern Pact rewriting of history? The USSR had actively abandoned pursuing world revolution...

    A full-blown war between France and Siam is certainly something. Like seeing the non-West stand up (even a little) to the colonizers. I wonder if France actually tries to suborn Siam ITTL as opposed to them maintaining their de jure independence.
  14. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    But I'm not fify. If a cartridge has more than enough of energy for 400 meters, then it might have enough of energy for 500, or perhaps even 600m. Meaning that a dedicated MG needs to cover 600m and beyond, not 400 m and beyond. The 600+ m is indeed a distance where mortars need to be employed...
  15. What if the Danube valley culture survived to the Age of Classical Antiquity and beyond?

    What do you mean, survive into present day? Even Egypt, perhaps the most long-lasting and "monolithic" civlization there ever was is, has undergone Hellenisation, Romanisation, Christianisation, Islamisation and Arabisation etc., so even though there is a country today which is named "Egypt"...

    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    So post it will be discredited. Hardly a victory they won when the russians took all their soldiers away. Greece won in ww2 still fell to civil war, the third republic still collapsed even though france won. But to a nationalist ideology it would be. Albania was important land. No major...

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

    If you're retooling the production line to make pistol calibre carbines then you may as well just retool them to make SMGs. Or we can just give them SMGs. Also, good luck getting a .32 ACP or 8mm Nambu to be particularly useful at 100m...
