    How would Kennedy, Khrushchev, and their governments be remembered if the CMC went hot?

    Probably, but that anger would also be directed towards the political leadership of the time. America would become a more right-wing country; someone like Goldwater (supposing that the U.S. Senate isn't knocked out by Soviet missiles) would easily be elected in this ATL. (FWIW I say this as a...

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

    I was talking about colonies. There were 4 separate colonies in what is now Canada at time of ARW. Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland.
  3. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    There were extensions involving superscripts and subscripts which allowed people to write numbers greater than 10,000. Presumably they could be extended to fractions and decimals.
  4. Images from the Footprint of Mussolini

    You know, going with the trend of having in-universe alternate counterparts to real life works of science fiction, I wonder what an in-universe version of Legend of the Galactic Heroes would look like. First of all, I think that you would see a 4th nation that is communist rather than simply...

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

    Ok valid points but please stop referring to Quebec as Canada. It was Quebec only. The English speaking colonies to the east are not represented here. this was Americans trying to get French speaking Catholics to rebel against the British nothing else. As you mention the English speaking...
  6. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    They seem limited to numbers under 10,000, and I don't know how you'd show decimals or fractions, which all seem pretty important.

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

    They may not be part of modern Quebec, but Nova Scotia and PEI did, post-Dérangement, see some repopulation of Acadian communities with Francophones. It's just they happened to be Acadian returnees, not by other Francophones, and who coexisted with the Anglophone and later Gaelic-speaking...

    How would Kennedy, Khrushchev, and their governments be remembered if the CMC went hot?

    In the USA after WWIII, it would be a really bad time to be a Beatnik or anyone else left of center. Lee Harvey Oswald likely would have been lynched when he was working in that Printing shop, reading Russian language materials and acting like a jackass towards the other employees

  10. Britain colonized

    @Socrates, I think that would require a level of totalitarian control and mobilisation and exclusion of third partner trade that didn't really ever exist in the historically recognised colonies (or in only a small subset of them involving economies without much more than small plantations on...

    WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    While this is true of communist parties such as the CPUSA, who agitated against the war under Comintern direction for the duration of the M-R pact, if we are discussing indigenous communist parties resisting German occupation then this isn’t quite true. Parties like the KPÖ (always sort of at...

    Nice work, looks real.
  13. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    This is going to be the death ride of the IJN's remaining combat strength, if they press on, air attacks will only mount and they'll pick up more and more damage, and if they survive, they'll either run into the ships that sunk the Fuso and Yamashiro as well as the DD's screening the landing...
  14. WI: The Soviet Union survived as a rump state in Central Asia?

    Which could mean that an attempt to further split apart Soviet strength by recognizing the Rump USSR as the Soviet successor, which pushes the far stronger Russian Federation away from UNSC influence is absolutely something that states could consider. Some post-socialist states like Latvia or...

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

    ...Continental Congress and a separate military, but not necessarily the benefits of cooperation. The easiest explanation for that would be because the Americans never really *got*/*understood* Canada, and only saw in Canada what Congress wanted to see in Canada - which did not match with reality.
  16. AHC: Harold Stassen elected President in 1980

    Hello, fellow alternate historians, your challenge should you may choose to accept is one of most difficult the challenge. Have perennial candidate Harold Stassen get elected President in 1980 instead of Ronald Reagan have fun.

    Oh no, I wasn't thinking about that in particular. Besides, it can touch on the current policies. 😅

    Battle of Fredericksburg WI: Lee Destroys the Pontoon Bridges and Traps the Union Army

    Floating logs are not destroying pontoon bridges in this era, they are built to be sturdy. I'm not sure, but he can build more. A simple one, a day (the Dutch built one in a day for the Grand Armee during the Battle of Berezina in roughly a day). A more complicated one, a few days. The Union...
