  1. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    I mean, this would have completely shot down the Iraqi justifications for war, which were that Kuwait is really part of Iraq anyways and was split off by the British, and that Kuwait was stealing Iraqi oil. Saddam hoped (wishful thinking, with the benefit of hindsight) that the international...
  2. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    I would say that the most important thing would be to have a more stable succession system, one where 'I have the army' isn't automatically the number one rule. One way to do that would be to have a more stable succession at the start, from Augustus onwards. With a bit more luck, the...
  3. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Porte

    Albert Porte: 1964-69 - The Muckraker Porte was the grandson of Barbadian immigrants, one of the many Monrovian residents who still held an unrepresentatively strong role in national politics, due to the district system often channelling the energy of the interior dwellers into local politics...
  4. 12 Years Under Twin Nicholas (Military Dictatorship in the last 12 years of the Russian Empire)

    That's actually very much the intention. The title of the last chapter I wrote is supposed to be an Internet meme in the USSR of this timeline. Where some Kadet-sympathetic liberal would say "BuT tHAt waSN't ReAL caPiTaLisM!" every time some normal Soviet citizen talks about how capitalism had...

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

    I think Catherine of Aragon would be sent home here and Francis's son will marry Anne of Bohemia-Hungary.
  6. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    I think the revised version is "If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky." (maxim 43)
  7. 12 Years Under Twin Nicholas (Military Dictatorship in the last 12 years of the Russian Empire)

    This certainly is a very interesting read and I'm curious how it continues. Given the kleptocracy the Black Hundreds are starting, it wouldn't surprise me if this leads to a far more extreme revolution, where groups such as the Bolshewiks (or assorted other far-left groups) have an easier time...
  8. WI French capital isn't Paris

    I think Angers would be a good alternate capital.
  9. Peabody-Martini

    WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    Have it be a suicide note at the time it was originally written.
  10. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    @John Fredrick Parker: keep in mind who the fourth crusade was caused almost entirely by the Byzantine’s internal troubles.
  11. The War Games hexagon world map: a tool that lets you color and create your own custom world map for alt history scenarios

    Hi everyone, My name is Minas, and I am the developer of MapChart. It is a custom map-making tool that you can use to create and color your own map. From time to time, I have seen users here post maps made with MapChart. After many requests, I decided to work on a fully-detailed world map that...
  12. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Could be. Depends on how fast it happens. The trouble is that we don't have an obvious precedent for this - a U.S. fleet carrier berthed, not on alert, suddenly struck and sinking. With Yorktown, Lexington, Hornet and Wasp, the carriers were on combat footing, damage control teams at the ready...
  13. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    IMO, the US took a GAU-8 anti-tank gun, bolted a pair of wings and a pair of engines on it and pretended the result was an aircraft (called A-10).
  14. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    Have him write it as a Self Help Book
  15. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend... And as @funnyhat said no other nation had historically been able to do it at the same level of France
  16. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    I can only see this where the force conducting the COIN does not, cannot or for 'reasons' will not deploy Helicopters into a region where vehicles cannot operate And then there has to be the ability to sustain and support Horses and Mules It would be very niche I can perhaps think of a...
  17. The Second Viking Age [A Late Medieval TL]

    First Hanseatic war? So there'll be more?
  18. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    I think the fact that it is such a thick and incomprehensive read made it so revered. Mostly because I can guess the far-right could claim it was actual legitimate political philosophy, "PoLiTiCal pHilOsOphY iS haRD tO rEaD amIRite? mEiN KaMpf iS jUst liKe tHAt".
  19. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Have William lose at Hastings. Iirc Anglo-Saxon England never tried to invade Ireland. Those pesky Normans, OTOH, were all too ready to invade anything in sight.
