  1. Balance of Power Without the French Revolution?

    No ARW already gives Britain, France and Netherlands more freedom to intervene in the war of Bavarian succession, should they wish to do so. Or in the Russo-Ottoman War of 1787-92. But we may not wish them to do so. Without France causing a threat that leads Europe to concentrate against it...

    AHC: Sweden wins the Great Northern War

    I have limited knowledge about the Great Northern War besides the basics, but there is one thing I believe that the Swedish should’ve done. Quit. While. You’re. Ahead The Swedish army under Charles XII, manage to beat the Russians at Narva and then dethrone the Polish-Lithuanian King...

  5. If Mondale wins in 1984, does Clinton still become President in 1992?

    The whole key in the 1991 recession . . . if Mondale AND CONGRESS bring back manufacturing jobs (which is probably not possible), or at least slow the hemorrhage, and/or other sources of middle-income jobs, which probably is possible. well, then the Democratic brand is not tarnished...
  6. OTL Election maps resources thread

    Adrian Frith makes great maps, and I am thankful for the various maps he's uploaded on wikipedia on South Africa. And it's quite obvious that there were records of the seat boundaries that were publicly available back then, but they're all missing from the internet. I remember seeing election...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Sigh. Siberia != Far East. Siberian troops meant troops from out of Central Asia. The Far Eastern forces remained more or less constant in number throughout the war.

    Alamgirnama: A Mughal Timeline

    I got some more questions. How do europeans act in court and feel about it? Have any european nations tried make offically closer ties alliances etc? Also as Poster above are they still using missionaries? What language do mughals use with Europeans and vice versa? How are ottoman and mughal...
  9. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Doesn't mean I have to like the cliche! 😜 That would require a program to develop inflight SSME restart, which is going to get very expensive, very quickly, and NASA's focus going forward is on keeping costs down for station and lunar support so that the Mars program can go forward. The...
  10. What if the Revive China Society was succesful?

    China falls into the exact same pit that it did in OTL. In 1902, Yuan Shiikai was the commander of the New Army and he would've negotiated with the rebels to save his own skin. The only difference is that the Warlord Era would've broken out before World War I, giving Russia and Japan the...

  12. WI: Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar dies in 1792

    If the Loft Ali leads the Zands to pull an early 19th century version of a Meiji (or would it be more of a Muhammad Ali?), could Persia hold on to lands up to and including Russian Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Balochistan? Could it capitalize on Ottoman weakness and fighting with Muhammad Ali to...

    AHC: Australian continent houses multiple nations

    My TL has Australia being colonized by the British, French, Dutch and Portuguese. Both the Dutch and French had claimed parts of Australia IOTL, so it's definitely possible that one of them acts on it and founds a colony (likely in Western Australia).
  14. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The Type XXI was basically the Kriegmarine's version of the Panther or Tiger. Overly expensive and problematical but not a complete death trap. Some overly complex , unready weapon that somewhat worked. That said it wasn't a V2 or their jets which were at least as deadly to the poor sucker...
  15. WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    I feel like this is impossible, with the revolting Goths and invading Franks, and the massive political disunity and crisis, it’s absolutely insane that it and especially China lasted so long. (and speaking of China, in no way would I call it’s dynasties continuous) With the political, religious...
  16. A7 Corsair II kills the A10 program

    The A7 wasn't designed for the Vietnam war, it was specced in mid 1963 as a general purpose Naval light attack aircraft and I'd assume that ship attack was an important capability as well as CAS for the Marines and attacking coastal targets. While this made it a very good general purpose attack...
  17. WI Spain never allies with France during the 1790s and 1800s

    What if Spain is always neutral or allied to Britain, but never France? So it may get beat up, occupied, peninsula warred for even longer at home, but maybe its claim to all its overseas property remains more stable? Perhaps especially if a legitimate heir to throne can make it out of Spain to...
  18. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    Both the Pandoric War and the Black Twenties are analogous to World War I. The casus belli being the death of the presumptive heir to a major power and a revolution occurring within one of the main belligerents. The Black Twenties on the other hand have clearly defined alliances, engagements in...
  19. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    If there is to be change over to a new calibre best to do it nearly as completely as possible and as quickly as possible. I get bored with these endless bullshit threads, "my cartridge is better than your cartridge!" Yes, 7.62x51mm is too large a round for the job. It was designed to kill a...
