  1. AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    Perhaps have the Ottomans let European traders have easy access to the east? If I'm not wrong, that was the catalyst for the age of discovery, and changing it might delay European exploration. To avoid the unfortunate IRL fate of the natives, a level of disease resistance would somehow have to...

    Threadmarks: Story 2559

    Somewhere in the North Pacific aboard USS North Carolina, mid-afternoon May 15, 1944 "Jaroshek, barrels cleaned out?" "Aye chief..." "Good, get inside and get some food. Get back out here in 30 minutes." Up and down the deck of the battleship, gun crews were starting to relax. They had...
  3. WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    (Not a mod but) Chill please. How about ITTL the Dutch only hold on to small but vital regions in Indonesia for the spice trade, while their main settlement/manpower/crown jewel colony is centered on the Korean Peninsula instead. Edit: Oh and to @Rfl23's point. With the Dutch colonizing Korea...

    with the anglo-portuguese agreement seemingly in favor of both sides, i believe the portuguese monarchy will survive

    Map Thread XX

    Thought I might as well post this here. The Portuguese colony of New Lusitania, from my New Kratocracy TL, outlined in the so-called "Pink Map". Formally established after the September 1891 Anglo-Portuguese Agreements, it is overwhelmingly dominated by British settlers and economic...
  7. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Did those fuel shortages have anything to do with the minor dustup between the Axis and the Soviets? yeah, because their OTL strategy was clearly working. Again, If you don't believe you can beat the soviets, starting a fight with the soviets is self evidently a stupid idea. Operation Jubilee...

    Somewhere in the Northwest Pacific, May 15, 1944 The carriers turned back into the wind. The morning strike was returning. The pilots had claimed almost a dozen kills including a trio of battleships and at least two carriers. The radio operators aboard the ships could listen to who was not...

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Till the 13 colonies rebelled there was nothing that attracted English settlers to Quebec. There was lots of land and weather better plus not surrounded by French speaking Catholics. Therefore no reason to more there regardless of circumstances that not going to change.
  10. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Well, yes, but it's good fun to imagine alternatives ... "and by the way, Sire, the Belgium Ambassidor asks if you are still interested in the Congo and the Austraians are still insisiting on the Dutch East Indies in exchange for sending their army to liberate the Netherlands. I might also...
  11. If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    To a certain extent, the poor was hardly all on the same side in Russia. Otherwise Lenin would have won far more quickly. There were a lot of SRs, SDs and Mensheviks as well.
  12. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Neither was, at present, demanding that they abandon their neutrality to allow armed forces across their territory. Diplomatically Belgium was closer to Britain at that point, though they had begun to withdraw somewhat as they began to doubt Britain's ability and commitment to actual Belgian...
  13. how different would world war two be if the Soviets lost the Russian Civil war?

    White Russia would be French ally, there would not be R-M Pact.
  14. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Thanks. I thought more English had moved in, but apparently, they either didn't, or they moved elsewhere. I know a huge wave came in when loyalists relocated post AR. In the case of an oppressive British attitude post 1763 sparking a rebellion, you would have to increase the numbers of...

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    It would have to be fit with a Boehler 47/32, at least initially. I really wonder about the suspension for Libya, though for Italy this tank seems to fit the terrain requirements. I also wonder about claims that it would not be competitive into 1942. For a main battle tank, it is no worse than...
  17. PDWs as spin-offs from the 'Artillery Luger' in widespread use in 1915-1945

    Perhaps when Australia sends troops to South Africa during the Boer War their Artillery units are issued stocked pistols from police stores and the Australian Army likes them enough that when the time comes they opt for a stocked version of the Webley VI. This version is then taken up by other...
  18. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    The British and the French aren't asking/threatening to march across Belgium? (Britain had also been guarantee of Belgium neutrality for nigh on 80 years at this point, and it was a treaty written with the express goal of not allowing either Germany or France gain an advantage against the other...
