    Cities that could have been much larger

    Cairo, Illinois, it is on the Mississippi and the Ohio, so you have good access to a waterway to transport stuff. If it gets big enough you can have it merge with St Louis similar to what happened to Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas which became the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

    What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Deviousity would be in order.Corvettes and frigates would be exempt and so would escort carriers...oh I mean depot ships for maintaining aircraft...really.Destroyers would take longer because of turbines (otl had the first tribal built in Canada halted for a year waiting for turbines)and the use...

    Octavian Dies in 44 BCE: How do Events in Rome Play Out?

    Events in 44 and 43 BCE were pretty fluid until an army fell into young Octavian Caesar's lap during the Mutina campaign, and the resultant Third Triumvirate that emerged from Antony's retreat into Gaul. Plutarch calls Cicero the most powerful man in Rome during this time, and it was indeed...
  4. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Probably negative to be honest. The policing and security costs alone will out weigh any possible benefit. Bangladesh has just fought a horrifically bloody and violent war to be free of Pakistan, they are not going to roll over and accept rule from India. They may stand no chance in a...
  5. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    You'd have to start them after 2nd London ie 1937, before that total carrier tonnage was restricted the tonnage won't be there especially if the RN uses some of its extra funding it has from not having to pay for a one or two flotillas of DDs due to the Canadians procuring about that many extra...

    Deutschland Uber Alles?

    If you want to make Germany great you need Donald Trump aka Orange Sphincter. What post Great War Germany needs is a bold-faced liar that cares for nothing. A vulgar person with enormous luck and a person willing to collude with some of the greatest assholes of the time. At the same time, the...
  7. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I think that if the USSR continues to persist throughout the 1980s-1990s dystopian science fiction craze, there could be a reinvigoration in a sci-fi movement inspired by the Brutalist/Functionalist architectural aesthetic that shows an accelerated dystopian version of Soviet socialism in the...

    What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    really depends when they start and what gets built.With 30% unemployment in 1933 and not much less in 39 manpower isn t a problem.Anything built to merchant standards is much easier whereas the Tribals require steel from England .With a long enough prewar start all the issues encountered during...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Why would the concept of nuclear war make people so afraid, after sixty years people would eventualy realize "you know this thing isn't gonna happen."

    Portuguese Cabo- a TL

    I still think indentured servants and convicts from Portugal would do the job just fine (once again, The Cape and Portugal have the same climate), but knowing the Portuguese, they'd probably import slaves to do it anyway (Portugal was the biggest participant in the Atlantic Slave Trade).

    No 1991 August Coup

    I’m guessing somewhere between the EU and US but still a federation as @Pauh the federalist said. One thing I’m confused about is how the Soviet government would be changed and run. It seems some elections were taking place in the late years of the union. A congress of people’s deputies was...

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I don't think the question of the timeline of slavery's abolition in Anglophone North America is a question of whether it becomes independent, but whether the cotton gin is still invented. One of the reasons the founding fathers pussyfooted around slavery so much was (aside from a united country...

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Truthfully, the French Army wasn't exactly terrible at a tactical level. On a tactical level, although the French Army was outgunned in regards to artillery, it was still capable of giving the Germans a bloody nose, especially with their chassepot rifle. In fact, the French did win battles on a...
  14. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    I get the feeling that the yards probably would take awhile to finish said ships but if they get done in late 1940/early 1941 like they should be oh boy will the Admiralty be ever so happy.
  15. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    Very interesting updates. I am glad to see this TL continuing, and you rarely get to see timelines dive deep into subjects like art and architecture. It really is great to see.

    An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    Definitely. Thank you for the praise. :) My thinking for linking it to Orthodoxy is primarily due to trade. It's possible that during the Roman Period, one of the main avenues for Christianity's spread was the trade networks (it certainly helped with early exposure to Christianity in Kievan...

    It did not, the rebellions are caused by Taxes placed by Santa Anna because of the dire situation

    What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    there were two others......but generally they wouldn t build in a dry dock.
  19. Deutschland Uber Alles?

    The occupying army relieved West Germany of the cost of defending itself from the USSR, spent lots of money in the West German economy and culturally made West Germany acceptable as a nation to the rest of the Western world. And it wasn't just the Marshall Plan which helped, "drop in the...
