    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Why not use Beretta's own M1918 as the starting point? Similar in both the OVP and Beretta used the 1915 V-P as their origin, but not quite the same? I know this is a secondary condition to the main OP, but a useful and plentiful SMG in the late '30s would have been beneficial to the...
  2. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    TTL's US-Newspeak makes me legitimately uncomfortable.

    Senator Baker Survives Ball's Bluff; or, Lincoln Administration Without Edwin Stanton?

    After several years, I'm finally returning to the very first "What If?" thread I ever submitted to this site, that is: what if Senator Edward Baker is not killed at the battle of Ball's Bluff? Edward Dickinson Baker served in the Illinois senate, defeating some lanky fool named Abraham Lincoln...
  4. What if the Revive China Society was succesful?

    Oops you're right typo
  5. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Actually it would have expanded the available cadres for new carriers. You would not keep the crew together if Enterprise would be out of action for a year or more. I doubt it would have that big an effect. Remember in the case of West Virginia and California there were a number of...
  6. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Arrange a plane crash for Mussolini and the Fascist Council.
  7. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    Nope. Just the two. Keep it simple. It is Baywatch and syndication, after all. Not Babylon 5.
  8. AHC: Australian continent houses multiple nations

    Australia is rather unique in the world being its own mass that's not part of the two big supercontinents: Afro-Eurasia and the Americas, and the size of Australia could've easily housed multiple nations in different scenarios (kinda like the US in that regard). So it made me wonder, could the...

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    So are the dirty tricks and mudslinging as bad as otl or worse? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Cleland#2002_election I hope Max Cleland wins reelection this time.

    WI/AHC : Stable, long lasting Rome.

    To go against everyone else, I propose the almost impossible, extremely unlikely but interesting idea of Charlemagne marrying Irene of Athens. East and West are united once again and to make it even more unlikely, the union lasts. The Franks are subsumed into the newly invigorated Roman...
  11. WI: no alphabet

    Indian scripts are abugidas, something in between an alphabet and a syllabary. So is Ge'ez which developed from a.Proto Sinaitic abjad
  12. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    While having the US going out of its way to break the virtual Iranian monopoly on Saffron would be a straightforward solution, would have assumed the US and other countries would have already done so in ATL like they did with pistachios IOTL. Based on how labour intensive Saffron is, one can...
  13. WI: a different Anatolian beylik creates an empire

    Would your average "Nottoman" Beylik conqueror of the straits, Anatolia, and Constanople typically tend to get as far into Europe (to the Danube, Greece, even Hungary), and the Levant, and North Africa as the historic Ottomans?
  14. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    As for Star Trek merchandise, we're a year away IRL from Franz Joseph's Starfleet technical manual, which was published in 1975, so I might write something about him soon...
  15. What if the Revive China Society was succesful?

    1885? 1895? 1985 sounds wrong...
  16. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Maybe or maybe not. Instead of railing the iron ore to Norway send it south through Sweden to Stockholm or Malmo.

    WI: no alphabet

    Not if you do it like Linear B did, and in fact most syllabaries of languages with syllable-final consonants do: have a separate set of free consonants, a "vowel killer" diacritic, or just imply thate the vowele ise silenete. A syllabary doesn't need to represent all possible syllables, it only...

    TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    I wonder if there were plans by the High Command of the Central Powers for an invasion of the British Isles, much like the Allied Plan to invade the Japanese Home Islands with Operation Downfall?
  19. What if the Revive China Society was succesful?

    I know this maybe should be in the Before 1900 thread but it is right on the border so it was hard to decide put this in lol In our timeline, Revive China Society was a group lead by Sun Yat-Sen with the goal of overthrowing the Qing and bring Western-style Federal Republic government to China...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    The Golden Horde's fall was coming to them after Ananuri, but I'd never expect that a super Poland would emerge from this. They have Poland, Lithuania, Prussia, and now Hungary. With the crippling of France in the last war, Poland has any reason to direct their ambitions anywhere they wish...
