  1. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    This is true for every country. Britain from 1000 AD is a vastly different country than Britain in 1500 or 1800 AD. Is China from 1 AD and 1500 AD more or less similar than Britain from 1000 and 1600? It seems that Europe simply had much more diversity of government typed. In China it was...
  2. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    So, what, is America the New Rome? Is the EU? Was the Soviet Union, and now modern Russia? Turkey or Greece? The Arab League?

    WI Francis of Austria, son of Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy, lives to adulthood?

    Because Margaret of Austria might support the marriage of Eleanor of Austria and Henry VIII.
  4. Dunkirk Disaster causes Japan to attack Britain in December 1940

    ...was "neutral" but de facto was providing to the allies with EVERYTHING!...and UK was happy about that, not the US that didn't understand a sh*t about argentinian internal politcs. And when in 1943 the nationalistic faction made a coup, there was neither a chance from Argentina to be part of...
  5. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    Agreed. Also would like to add that China's continuity as a distinct entity is only geographical for the most part; the so-called "Barbarians" successfully invaded and ruled over China for long periods. And as you mentioned socio-cultural norms changed drastically over this time too. I think...

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Since Lombardy will be in a personal union so nominal it will eventually get its own constitution (a far more democratic one than Piedmont's at that) and representation (potentially even a greater amount of it than Piedmont's, due to Lombardy's greater population) it'd be like voting for a...
  7. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Oh and I once had a comrade who still owns the price for the most terrible Pizza: Hawaii with a double portion of garlic on top. At least it made absolutely sure he never was asked to share.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    At this point, I think I'm going to drop the 3-inch field gun and just use my bootleg 25-pdr field guns I have converted from the WWI-era 18-pdr analogues. All of these vehicles were mechanized artillery rather than assault guns. The T-26 is similar in size to the Su-76M, so the largest...
  9. How would Kennedy, Khrushchev, and their governments be remembered if the CMC went hot?

    It would depend from which side you ask, americans would said that Kennedy was only protecting america and the russians leaders are the real devils, and the russians would said the same but with switched roles. For people outside the hitted countries, they probable would see the leaders the way...
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well now i want to see the reaction at such show, just to see Kazt project lasting barely a season and be consigned to the dustbin...till the current age when someone will try to reboot it making a post-modern take of sci-fi in genre (and with the nasty and petty take that much much more...

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Hmmm. Just thought of something, now that those maps and comments have been made... GeoGarage blog: 12/9/18 - 12/16/18 Why did Kimmel not deploy torpedo nets? He could not. He would FOUL the turning basin and render Main and South Channel unusable. Never looked at that from a submariner's...
  12. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Didn't say they could stop them. Just that they were not going to get back to Iraq. If you want to fight a mechanised war against the US air superiority then doing it in a desert is the worst terrain you could imagine. Simple target practice.
  13. WI: Darwin reads Mendel

    Wow! It's the first time I hear that libraries can be reconstructed in such a way. Thank you very much for sharing this material and link to the full text. Interesting idea, I like it.

    WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    @Plundenoru @mial42 I think I have not been understood: I am not saying that ideology is the factor to take into account to create alliances or that two ideologically opposite countries cannot be allies. I'm saying that the fact that these kinds of alliances occur feels ironic and unnatural...
  15. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I do not know about Argentine but it seems in New Zealand there is a saying about sheep on the southern island. What happens on the meadow stais on the meadow. And for the Pizza: Tuna, Olives, Feta and Chili.
  16. FRG withdraws from NATO

    I responded to the OP, who asked what would happen if Germany withdrew out of NATO in the late 1970s or early 80s. I wasn't talking about today.
  17. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Similar stories I know from UK, German and Russian pilots in WW2. Branches picked up somewhere. The old airport in Hong Kong must have been a thing with the planes literally picking up clothes hung up on rooftops to dry.

    WI: Gneisenau on Operation Rheinübung?

    Wasn't that the four Tribals and Piorun who went to fight Bismarck?
