  1. The Sting of Death: Hatred, Blood, and Happiness in Revolutionary America and Beyond.

    Thank you as well :) I am enjoying it. I hope that, going along, it will continue to interest you.
  2. Jesus is born Judith

    I think that there's an inherent uncertainty to why certain religious movements take off and others don't, which is why I kind of confined my speculation to how she might exist within the context of her times. However, I'm going to say that if you raise people from the dead, cure sickness...
  3. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    But they were unable to keep their hegemony over the former roman territories after some centuries. By the criteria I adopted in a previous comment, based on the OP's question, the domination of the entire imperial territory by an entity calling itself the "Roman Empire" and claiming the Roman...

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    would not make for very good contrast especially when you have 2 shades of the same colour side-by-side. I would also point out that 8 different colours on a flag (unless it includes a COA) are unheard of. The current flag with the most colours, off the top of my head, is South Africa with 6 and...
  5. No 1991 August Coup

    I agree with you that thier inflance in europe has been almost wiped out which is why I agree a alt EEU can't be a political union like the otl Warsaw pact but only a economic union like the EU (which like the EU has mutual defense clauses, which is where the comparison to the Warsaw pact comes...
  6. The last Hanover

    In terms of politics most people believed the Queen, like her mother would perhaps naturally lean towards the Tory party, however the influence of Lord Melbourne and his avuncular manner and patience with her had made her appear far more partial to the Whig party. However, Sir Robert was...
  7. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Didn't the terrain following radar used in the F-111 light up every passive radar detector within 50 miles? I'm assuming the German version will do the same. Like shining a flashlight on a dark room. You'll see what's in front of you but everyone will see you.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V
    Threadmarks: 16th of July, 1522

    Santander, Castile. 16th of July, 1522 Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo y Enríquez, 2nd Duke of Alba looked on at the rolling waves as a ship neared the docks of Santander, a port city in northern Spain. There, in that boat now anchoring, was his Emperor, his King, back from acquiring the imperial...
  9. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    On the topic of nuclear weapons specifically, I think you're underestimating the severity of the German reaction to having a city burned in a single night even by 1,000 bombers. When Hamburg was destroyed, the German reaction was complete panic: The Luftwaffe had a complete mental breakdown...
  10. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Extra airpower in 41 likely would help in the siege of Leningrad and siege of Odessa, in the Leningrad case you have good Baltic state fields to operate off, or Romanian in the later. Leningrad was very close to the tipping point of falling. Perhaps the Germans could have interfered with the...
  11. Map Thread XX

    10 and 11 are missing on the map.
  12. WI: Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar dies in 1792

    I'd think the Russian Caucasus would be too well-defended, but Iraq, Ottoman Armenia, and Kurdistan are distinct possibilities. British Balochistan is probably off-limits as well. Turkmenistan I don't know too much about. I think comparisons with Muhammad Ali and Meiji are warranted, but there...

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    not the main thing but the heightmap colors stop at 5000m, so anything higher than 5000 meters is also shown with the same color :/
  14. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Hey, fungus rules.
  15. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    ...price of the F/A-18 had dropped considerably, and while it was still a fairly expensive aircraft to buy, particularly in the comparison to the F-16*, by then it was a $55 million aircraft compared to the F-14s $70 million. And it was much, much cheaper to actually fly off carrier decks...
  16. Deutschland Uber Alles?

    Pretty much what I was going to ask. There was considerable (largely understandable) resentment across the entire German political spectrum over Versailles that, when combined with the radicalism that sprang up in the last year of the war and its immediate aftermath, that made the country ripe...
  17. Impirius

    No 1991 August Coup

    Even with a controlled collapse the new union state would likely collapse because of Russian revanchism and chauvinism which would be fueled hard by the loss of the baltics,Moldova and the fast entry of the Warsaw pact nations into Nato. Gorbachev would abandon what democratic reforms he wanted...
  18. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Because he had broken their betrothal for marrying Catherine some years earlier. Eleanor was still too young for marrying and he too impatient for waiting for her. As Eleanor was hurt by that rejection and now he is marrying her, well Eleanor (and the other Habsburg) expected an apology for the...
  19. Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    Ok I think we're operating from different starting points here- in my view, there weren't dalits in Mughal India. There were marginalised social groups, but their marginalisation was as much a result of their poverty as a cause of it. These groups were then termed dalits by the British, whose...
