    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    And that’s all assuming he doesn’t die pre-1471
  2. Who was better in a fight? Cossacks or Janissaries? (TL Research)

    the Janissaries were meant to be the finest the Sultan can muster, forming the Sultans Bodyguard. trained from childhood, fully, given the best weapons and training that the Ottomans could have. They were Professional soldiers, (atleast in their heyday) Cossacks were semi independent...
  3. Effects and consequences if Brezhnev died in 1975

    The circumstances of Kulakov's death are.....murky....at best, if he were leader he may well live longer. If he dies in 1978, Kirilenko would probably take over, but Kulakov would probably have brought some more people into the leadership during his brief tenure so it may have been someone else
  4. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    I agree that the Germans would eventually occupy the whole of Norway, but in common with OTL its the successful German invasion of France and the Low Countries that makes this possible. The Norwegians will be able to mobilise their reservists in the north and centre of the country if the...
  5. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Though the fuel situation would still be bad I have a hard time believing they would be in as dire a position in 43/44 TTL compared to OTL; Barbarossa, Blau & Citadel together consumed ungodly amounts of fuel and other resources. I am not saying that fighting an air/sea war against WALLIES is...
  6. WI: Belisarius reconquers Italy

    The lombards did so because of the massive power vacuum causes by the gothic war, also with the plague and the laizic war draining it You cam have the gothic war end early and the justin not suggesting the avars to destroy the gepids and there .
  7. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Yes, the Russians had to hand over a good part of the Caucasus in 1908. These areas became notionally independent states under Ottoman protection. It wasn't exactly a stellar success, but the oil money is good and it beats Integralist rule. Unless you're Armenian.
  8. Explain the AH Quote

    An article from a cultural history website detailing the various decades within the United States. It detailed how the hope and optimism of the 1960s ended for the "decade of malaise" of the 1970s. Additionally, these various disasters helped symbolize the divide between the Baby Boomers and...
  9. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    They can leave the same .303 production levels as per OTL. Once .280 is in production, .303 is not. I've never considered the .280/30 here. The .280 British out-performed the .303 at long ranges, at least in categories of piercing the airborne-type steel helmet or timber penetration - link...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The issue with this thread, as Allan himself has stated in the past, is the sheer amount of posts between updates; be they on topic or not.

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I covered that question. The tracks are what one should follow along with the time markers. There are four separate engagements in which the left and right flank guard to Abe's force are stripped away in the ATL setup I gamed out. Start here and read for four pages. The explanation for what...
  12. TL-191: After the End

    One more question about OTL figures (all born prior to 1922)... Stanley Baldwin Neville Chamberlain Lord Halifax Bernard Law Montgomery Herbert Chapman Matt Busby Bill Shankly
  13. UoBLoyalist

    WI: Alsace-Lorrena is not taken by the Prussians?

    Was Italy all that antagonistic towards France at that time? I can't imagine them wanting to create a hostile France on their border for the foreseeable future.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    I am so happy to see that you ended up reading through the TL despite your concerns. I know how worried you were about the Britscrew. I will say, that I am starting to have a bit of a clearer idea of where I want to go with the Empire/Commonwealth/Whatever else it might be - still very vague...
  15. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Had to do a double-take there, for a moment. Honestly though, unironic monarchists just confuse me to no end of the earth.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    So unless John Beaufort is a brilliant general who can turn the WOTR it will end in a Yorkist Victory unless, he defects and remains loyal to Edward IV and later overthrows Richard III (assuming R3 doesn’t execute him beforehand).
  17. Impact on Great Britain during WW1 and WW2 if Canada part of USA

    I don't think it really was, apart from that after 7 december 1941 the US was in the war (assuming no butterflies), so it won't change that much.

    Top Locomotives Never Built

    Other ideas I had for Kawasaki diesels and electrics for cloning in North America were the DD20 (inspired by @TheMann again), and the M250 EMUs. The DD200NAs of my TL would mainly be used in various rail yards. As well as by various Class II, Class III and Industrial lines. Whereas the M250...
