  1. Alternate national identities in the turkic speaking world

    Was inspired by threads recently about what different national identities are possible in continental europe. No regions have more potential for different modern national identities than the turkic speaking world of central asia, turkey and the caucasus where nationalism was much more a 20th...
  2. WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    Only Communists were involved in anti-fascist resistance? I'd suggest reading up more on the various resistance groups like the Polish Home Army and Father Heinrich Maier (Roman Catholic priest) who were actively resisting the Germans in 1939 - 1940 when the Soviets were suppressing resistance...

    Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    They needed Coldblood Draft horses, though, like Percherons or Belgians. They were a heavier duty riding horse that could do some farm work. Having them do continuous pulling, you will kill them . In the US, they would be considered to be roughly similar to the Friesian or Morgan breeds

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

    Regardless, Kennedy would be blamed for the destruction of New York, Boston, DC, etc as it was his incompetence which led to the Bay of Pigs and the Missile Crisis. Around the world JFK would be seen as responsible for the genocide of the Russian people, and one of the worst mass murderers in...
  5. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Yes. You don't have to have ownership of the plants within the country to benefit from them. What matters is that quite some investments would be made that also create jobs for more highly educated people which in turn starts a snowball effect that helps further development. The key step is to...
  6. Battle of Fredericksburg WI: Lee Destroys the Pontoon Bridges and Traps the Union Army

    What if during the night of December 13th (after the union assault of the Confederate positions failed), Lee ordered logs to be floated down river to destroy the pontoon bridges? Keep in mind the shallow fords that could be crossed by foot that are historically talked about aren't at the...
  7. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    I had the same view as Adam Smith the colonies will just turned traitor when it suits her interests look at the United States, calendar and Australia they did not give a damn about the UK.
  8. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    In the long run, Liberia could be the capital of the African automotive industry. Although, if this world's automotive industry evolves anything like OTL, that's more likely to mean that they're the location of assembly plants for multinationals than having Liberian Motors or what...
  9. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    With one hundred results having been declared, the state of the parties is Socialist Labour 45 seats, Liberal 36, Conservative 18 and Northern Ireland Labour 1.

    How unsettling
  11. WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    They did. But that's just one party that I know that resisted. I'm asking if the other fascists in Europe would do the same?
  12. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Speaking of the VOC without the Dutch Cape, will this mean that they will put more investment into Dutch Brazil instead.
  13. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    ...just what exactly do you think "logistics" are? Anyways, people here are engaging in some pretty wishful thinking. You can't in one sentence masturbate to the fantastic industrial power of the US, and then claim a continental power with even more of it would totally still lose, honest.

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Also is it just me or are you implying that England will do some colonization under the Tudors ITTL?

    The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Hopefully both the McDonalds and Leonard Grey can be brought to heel...
  16. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    The Allies still possess some advantages over Nazi Germany, even with this ASB scenario of industrial parity: 1) Geography. The United Kingdom is protected by the English Channel, has the world's most powerful navy and controls much of the world's natural resources in its Empire. As per OTL...
  17. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Will we start seeing major butterflies in European geopolitics thanks to the Portuguese Cabo?
  18. WI: European fascist parties resisted the Nazis?

    Didn't the Austrian fascists resist the Nazis until the Anschluss?
  19. Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    Unless the Nguni peoples are getting maize early, they haven't had their population explosion yet. The push through Natal will be much easier when the Portuguese have the right agricultural package for the region and the proto-Zulu don't. Natal was the bleeding edge of Bantu expansion, IIRC...

    A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    New rifle with new problems, it was. Was it unusual in the case of a new rifle as a historical example? Not really. Most new rifles undergo such glitches, even the legendary M1 Garand. Was it fixed? Yes. The Americans did a MUCH better job than the British did with the L85 fiasco.
