    Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    Letting countries march armies through your territory violates neutral status. It would mean Belgium ceasing to be neutral, and becoming de facto co-belligerents with Germany. Relying on the goodwill of a militaristic nation which has showed scant regard for diplomatic niceties in the dozen...
  2. If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    well it's also worth considering that one reason that it didn't happen in the US, is the lack of racial solidarity - In russia all the poor were on the same side, in the US, they were in two camps.

    Medieval America Mark III

    The State of Alaska System of Government: Clan-Based Feudalism Head of State: Governor, selected from the ruling Evans clan Population: 90,000 Religion: Laskan Orthodoxy Totemic Symbol: Moose Juneau's relative prominence prior to the Regression was basically a fluke. It simply had the good...

    You just had to bring up the cheese graters didn't you ? o_O
  5. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    Yes, it is true that France has surmounted its debt since the Seven Years War but even though the Estates-General was declared, I don’t think that the debt would be quite as high thanks to no true American Revolutionary War (and its being managed better here). The uprisings, apart from two days...

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    I not only caught the hint, I'm running with it ;) I completely agree with you about the tiaras Albert designed, and I promise they'll be making an appearance. Leopold is a very generous husband who likes very shiny things.

    Threadmarks: Story 2557

    Somewhere in the South of France, May 15, 1944 Jacques checked the magazine on his Sten one last time. Everything was set. He checked his belt for spare magazines. The first pouch was almost full except for the one magazine he had inserted into his weapon before his band moved to their...
  8. If not Russia what would have been the most likely state to have been the first to turn communist?

    Historically those are the places with the best shot, I am surprised he thought that though. If it was going to happen in the US(damn unlikely) it would be in the Deep South.
  9. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Good point on the solar panels. They are potentially available in this time period and could be introduced earlier to more widespread use ITTL. However, IRL, Reagan took the solar panels off the White House that Carter placed there. I could write a story about Muskie promoting solar energy if...
  10. AHC: Divide Germany along the Aldi supermarket line

    Your best bet would be somehow getting a south german confederation wank out of a world War peace setal.ent that sees them also receive the catholic Rhineland to deprive the north. I assume you might be able to get this with stronger French presence in the peace process or by combining the...
  11. AHC: Divide Germany along the Aldi supermarket line

    How similar is the Aldi border to Catholic/Protestant distribution in Germany?
  12. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    How much did they "trust" the french ? ... or the british ? ... would they have ask for ? ... i.e. passing through (the french after having earned a bloody nose on first attempt to smach into Lorrain) or i.e. stationing some troops (the british to "prevent" some channel harbours from comming...

    Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    You are aware, I take it, that the Civil Service was, from 1910 onwards, drawing up papers on how to progress various parts of the Empire towards independence. Acquisition of new bits simply wasn't on the agenda.

    Threadmarks: Italy as a bidder?

    Odds and ends. https://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/italy-submarine-import-and-export-behavior/ I do not know. Let me look at it. Might be a few days before I have a good answer as to why that happened.
  16. What if the Italian unification failed?

    I'd like to continue this line of discussion: The next foreign policy crisis Austria will have to attend to is watching the Polish revolt in Russia, where it is mostly a spectator. The next one where it has difficulty avoiding involvement is Schleswig-Holstein, where there will be popular...

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

    Inn1770s the English speaking population be 1,000 at most. administrative and merchants. French speaking 70,000+. A huge discrepancy in terms of people. Also by 1790s the French population had more than doubled while English stayed the same.

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

    Given the OPEC crisis now might be a good time for someone to introduce solar panels, wind tribunes etc- all tech invented in the 60-70’s and if a big country like the USA gets involved and ram down the prices of such. NASA might be able to make cash off it if their solar panels are commercially...

    How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    I wonder how his geopolitics would look like, he seemed to know about it since he's the one behind the star wars program
