    WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    Maybe that statement of yours lacked something curious; I guess there are/were a number of profoundly significant/recognisable Dutch figures that I deeply know - despite this thread being centred in a pre-1900s scenario: Rutger Hauer - actor Monique van de Ven - actress Renée Soutendijk -...
  2. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    Well in the case of late medieval ages as mentioned by also france not any one could become king while in the byzantine empire any one what got popular or especially army support could become emperor French style succession would make it so that only royal families take the throne in the...
  3. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Poor Isabella. Being rejected by the emperor for a silly english girl.
  4. Catastrophe at Cassville! (Civil War TL)

    Nice point of divergence.
  5. Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    The British weren't so interested in acquiring new colonies, but certainly the South Africans were, and weren't too fussy over their targets being German, Portuguese or Belgian territory.
  6. WI: The Dutch East India Company reaches Korea, and at the same time, the Netherlands, which owns the VOC, immediately colonises the Korean Peninsula

    How the heck is the VOC supposed to afford conquering Korea, and keep Indonesia? Not to mention that taking (even attempting to take): Belgium and Luxembourg, already completed Sicily and Sardinia, from Italy All of the Nordics and Baltics, Denmark, Sweden, Finland (since its language is...

    Well, you can consider OTL Brazilian Northeast (as France équinoxiale).

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Why are you all talking about WWI and WWII in a thread about COIN ops?

    Texas Two-Step: Nixon nominates Connally as VP in 1973

    Might upstage Connally. Also I figure he’d want a workhorse, exactly because he never wanted to work as hard as his boss LBJ back in the day. Yeah the VP job can be meaningless, or you could make them do all the unpopular difficult stuff heh Probably a Northern Senator agreed and Percy would be...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    What about it? He's dead I see no reason why it matters at this point. All that stuff happened two episodes at this point. It's the one still alive that may be why the attack on Jamestown took place. To get him back and likely interrogate him. What matters in episode 10 is how this is resolved...
  11. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    I think the biggest issue is we are talking about several decades here already. The first generation of post-coup politicians were mostly either Turkish nationalists or even Pan-Turanists, and they were, in a sense, miracleworkers. Ottomanism was an idea they paid lip service to, but their idea...

    AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    The discovery of animal husbandry (domestication of animals) and the close proximity to human allows for development of diseases and thus also provide preteen for larger populations. but it was not the Spanish soldiers who conquered the Aztec but disease and enemies of the Aztec. The...

    AHC make it hard to colonize North America

    A significant Itelmen/Nivkh/Chukchi/Inuit-wank, particularly if they adopted pastoralization earlier, particularly equestrian skills, ended up invading at least the Pacific coast of North America. (PS: This suggestion is on the brink of being classified as ASB though.)

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

    I'd be interested in seeing the drawings for the Verdeja No. 3 medium that Félix Verdeja Bardales was apparently cooking up in 1943. There's a world of difference between prototyping in peacetime and series production during war. And if we want to talk prototypes, then the differences between...
  15. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    The trouble with incentive schemes is that the very horses you can take up for wartime use are the same as you need for the jobs they are doing at the moment. My yeomanry regiment took up their horses from the railways as per the scheme pre WW1 but the railways still needed horses. You cannot...
  16. No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    I don't necessarily mean keeping the NEP, though you can do that if you want. I just mean not collectivizing agriculture. What would a continuing NEP look like? Would the free market have significant power or would it look similar to OTL USSR but without violence of collectivization?
  17. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Oh, no poor Isabella... At least here she may hope to live a longer and less stressed life... Nice touch with the names of Leonor and João's daughters. Great chapter!
  18. AHQ: Is a Soviet occupation of all of Germany in WW2 possible?

    What sort of casualties might the Soviets face here? Civilian casualties would obviously be lower because there are no Nazi boots on their soil, but what about military losses? Would the post-purge Red Army, with people like Budenny at the helm, be able to defeat the Wehrmacht in Poland? It...
