    Britain colonized

    According to this definition, British expansion in India and Africa would not be colonialism. Whereas this would be colonialism.
  2. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    This may be because we've already been trained to use them. In the ATL children would be taught to use these symbols from childhood.

    AHC/WI: What if Austria colonized Australia

    I’d say this is a pretty ASB scenario. The Austrians could not successfully colonize the Nicobar Islands, and yet we’re to suppose they could colonize an entire continent? They travel times between Vienna-Antwerp-Australia and back would be absurd. The Habsburgs could barely hold onto the...

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Horsebreeding programs don't need decades. Just need state incentives. Three years from Foal(weaned after 4 months) to useful animal, and Mares with peak fertility after 6, Pregnancy last a bit over 11 months, and stay fertile for around 10 years Or realize that Horses are a 10th Century...
  5. AHQ: Stable succession system in Byzantium

    If Byzantium developed a stable succession system like the one in Europe or China instead of relying on one with strong Republican characteristics, and the development took place early in it's history (400s-500s), would it benefit Byzantium in the long term or not? On one hand having a single...

    The purpose of the COVID-19 pandemic

    One. Let's jam
  7. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    More complex. Arabic numerals have advantage of being detailed enough to do all calculations, but simple enough for almost everyone to understand with ease.
  8. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Its an impossibility. An Illustrious maybe but the world is not hard wired for war in 1939 so the drivers for a 1942 war emergency design do not exist. If the RCN is looking at carriers they would be looking at either a proper CV to satisfy their raging lust for a capital ship or a smaller CVE...
  9. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    Yeah, no i agree you would need some sort of substantial PoD, Eg, some sort of french escalation, invading belgium or, Italy declaring war against france, or well against Germany would work to, as that would give them a reason to continue the war - to change things, there are no 'rational'...

  11. Challenge: Cistercian numerals replace Arabic numerals

    I don't know about that this set of numerals appear to be very conveinent.
  12. The purpose of the COVID-19 pandemic

    I’m a bit surprised anyone here went for anything other than the last option...
  13. WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    The Local Communists were not anti-Nazi while M-R pact was in force, following the Comintern's lead. And IIRC most local fascist parties in collaborationist governments would not be in leadership without Nazi occupation or domination. Fascist or quasi-fascist parties in power on their own...
  14. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    This ^ Saddam could heavily damage the Saudi oil fields - all this does is hurt everyone. Kuwait was bad enough and the outcome was that Iraq still hadn't finished paying off the reparations to Kuwait 30 years later. They paid $47.9 billion out of $52.4 billion in 2018 and were projected to...

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

    CONUS would have been mostly untouched, while Europe east of Brittany, WP, USSR and Red China would be simply gone. JFK would be treated as the Hero who saved the USA from those dastardly Communists, then depends on how he covers the recovery for later opinion, like 'Did he wait too long...

    The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Hopefully Antigonos has adventures worthy of his namesake as the new Roman Emperor.
  17. No 1991 August Coup

    It would be something like the EU parliament and national parliaments in the EU today. There would be a Union wide Supreme Soviet (or w/e you wanna call the legislature) but each Republic would have its own elected legislature. The Union parliament is probably going to be fairly weak since most...

    Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    not just that the details, its in depth i have google half of the stuff said in good way as its complex stuff
  19. No 1991 August Coup

    it would be closer to EU than US or Germany there would be a common armed force, foreign policy and currency. Certain Republics like Ukraine would have complete control over its own economic resources but maybe in some of the more pro-Union Republics like Central Asia there would remain more...
