  1. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    TBF to the Canadians they did have the USN nearby which helped guard their coast. Australia is basically in the middle of nowhere and RN reinforcements would take a long time to get there even if they could have been sent , which in OTL they couldn't. Under those circumstances it makes sense...
  2. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    By mine warfare ships I mean having say two dozen minesweepers which are designed to also be able to lay defensive minefields
  3. AHC: earlier unification of Germany

    By how much can we hasten German unification with PoD after 1815? How does it impact Germany as a whole and German colonization?
  4. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    They don't need mine warfare ships, if they need them they can always use trawlers for minesweeping.
  5. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    I’m so glad to hear that horses are beautiful graceful animals in many ways much better friends of humans than dogs.Having spent much more blood and sweat for them However it’s also true most places they will be greatly abused in such places and treated with machines on hooves worked to death or...
  6. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    By the time the Germans started production of Tabun they were already losing the war in the East. The Germans started construction of a pilot plant in 1939 but Tabun production was a very dangerous thing and it claimed the lives of multiple workers. Sarin production didn't start until later in...
  7. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Is the question here when could the island of Ireland become an independent and unified political entity or when could the Irish people have been united to create an independent kingdom? And, if the latter, how are we defining "Irish people," exactly? Are we talking specifically Celtic peoples...
  8. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    I welcome this miracle! I mean, after all it makes the AH challenge easier, right? However, I am going to question, for example, maybe once the economic consequence of the cotton gin became obvious. Or, on a perhaps overlapping topic, economist Paul Samuelson wrote in 1976: Tidewater =...
  9. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    Yep something closer to the JKN class or the numerous classes that used its hull and machinery would be a better fit for the RCN
  10. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Cold hard facts
  11. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Agreed but to the western allies they were apparently expendables No wonder Germans insisted on defending every inch even if it didn’t make sense militarily
  12. WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    After the train started rolling on, Prussia no longer needed to feign being the offended party; in fact they ensured a fair number of snubs on France. Italian partecipation is tricky to achieve because their main goal was Rome, and for that they really didn't need to go against France, just for...
  13. Alternate warships of nations

    How could the Dutch support anything like that given OTL spending, again do they even have docks that could take an admiral class? Edit: I hate auto correct.

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    I’ll just go ahead and answer this question, as I’m pretty sure that most readers know that that sort of thing is inevitable in those historical circumstances. Yes, there will be a Southern/Fire-Eater break off Party from the Democrats. Does anyone have a guess for the ticket? And if you think...
  15. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    TBF the Italian Navy was their best service and nothing short of divine intervention will allow Italy to build a navy that can compete with the RN even if it started trying to do so from the day it was unified.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Ok got yah. Was just curious.
  17. Alternate warships of nations

    Oh boy would having 2 or 3 Admirals in Dutch service would be extremely useful come 1940 and beyond.
  18. FRG withdraws from NATO

    The OP says nothing about 'unilaterally'.
  19. W: Different pattern of colonization of British America

    2nd sons of nobles wanting to maintain their lifestyle. This is what happened in Virginia and subsequently the South since it was colonized by Virginia. ATL we reverse it and end up with feudal North and developed South
  20. 'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    It would have been very hard to achieve in fascist Italy, but something that could have really helped is creating more competition in some sectors. Tank building comes to mind. This was dominated by a duopoly of FIAT and Ansaldo, the former for automotive components and the latter for the tank...
