  1. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    A mission to mars could be greenlit by the millennium
  2. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    Starting in the early 20s, make being an Army Sargent an actractive career for educated working class young man wanting to rise to lower middle class. To do so promote literacy, then invite the best soldiers who showed leadership skills in their military service to apply to NCO school. Make sure...
  3. FRG withdraws from NATO

    No, the allies couldn't just "reoccupy" Germany or dissolve the federal republic. I don't even understand how people come to that conclusion.
  4. FRG withdraws from NATO

    And the occupation ended in 1955. There is a lot of bulls**t talk in this thread. Lets get with the facts. The Allies had the final say in the case of a reuniification or a peace treaty. Till this they had the right to station troops in Germany. But they had no "magical reoccupation powers"...
  5. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    I believe they also wanted closer ties with Britain to prevent the US from dominating the Western side of the cold war as well. That and closer ties with Israel, a little while after the Suez crisis I believe they started cooperating with a nuclear program.

    Third Bard's the Charm: A High Byzantine TL

    Subbed! I really like your work, Eparkhos and I'm glad to see the POD where it is because it seems like not a lot of people do pod's in/around Basil II's reign (except that most famous of tl's Isaac's empire)

  8. Sports What Ifs.

    On another forum, we were talking about the Packers, and how they almost got Moss (and could have traded for Marshawn Lynch and Tony Gonzalez sometime in the early-2010's). Now, if they traded for Moss, they would have had to give up A-Rod, and that would have been a mistake. However, if they...

  10. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    Yes and also because they were worried about Egyptian control over the Suez and in addition wanted to punish Egypt for it's support of the FLN.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Yeah that’s what I’ve gathered over the course of this thread. Seems that my plans for an earlier independent Ireland have to be contained to CK2. Although even there a united ireland is of course very rare.
  12. Alternate warships of nations

    The three were suspended within 6 months of laying down, so I suppose it depends did the UK keep building the specialised equipment while they were suspend?
  13. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    So? One can create a planned economy where economic units have to make a profit and can go out of business (exposing their workers to financial insecurity and the risk of losing homes and starving). As the Japanese did... Mostly. (One can argue they've been too adverse to allowing...
  14. What if the WW2 German military just wasn't very effective?

    Hah, it certainly had issues. But on the other hand, in spite of the things that didn't work so well, the overall performance was sufficient to achieve quite a lot against armies that were on paper peers or superiors. Yep, they made good use of training as well as studies and war games. But I...
  15. DuMont will make TV work: A TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter 17: The Rise of Cable and New Superstations

    Chapter 17 By 1991, cable television had expanded from 15 percent of homes in 1976 to 60 percent, and was viewed by 23.5 percent of the nightly television audience, far outpacing the approximately 8 percent of the audience that accrued to the independent over-the-air stations. It thusly...
  16. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    In "The Adversary", the mission is to the Tzenkethi homeworld, not the Kzinti. However, in the Picard episode "Nepenthe", the Kzin are mentioned.
  17. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    I would have to check but 10 town class cruisers completed in 37-39 were laid down prior to the treaty expiring. They may have been originally slated as replacements for those c and d class cruisers that went onto serve during WW2. The c and d class cruisers were 4,000 to 5,000 tonnes and the...
  18. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The type XXI U-Boats were built using slave labor so quality was not too good and given the life expectancy of a U-Boat in the North Atlantic they figured it would be sunk before the welding became an issue. Post war type XXI s were assembled under less strenuous circumstances or had an overhaul...
  19. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Its really festers point. During the treaties they would come out of RN tonnage and the RN would want them deployed to cover missions they would otherwise cover. So the RN America squadron has 3 Cruisers and 2 Sloops which at various times included York and Norfolk so as an anti commerce raider...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    "Very likely"? I mean, there's no actual evidence for it. The mercator projection became standard because it was easier to use for navigation, and before satellites existed, navigation was how maps were made. If all the colonialism was done by people from Central Africa and not Europe, we would...
