  1. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    no, that is how the us govt interpreted it, it could also be a enterprising german who saw a business chance, and has nothing to do with the govt. and why not repay the favour? a british armsdealer was supplying pancho villa, i don't remember the us repaying the uk the favour iotl. plus us...

    Explain the AH Quote

    A line from the book "The Great White North", which details Vinlander history between the life of Leif Erikson to the present day, which saw the Commonwealth of Vinland as a major player in North American politics, rivaling with the United Commonwealth of New England and the People's Collective...
  3. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    backing Communist France would only be creating the same conditions that cuased ww2 the balance of power in Europe not being to British liking. The Americans have no real intrest in this European war none at all. Tell me what benefit would gain by overthrowing Germany rather then just trading...

    I chose No Collapse because I've never seen a timeline with the HRE surviving until the present day.

    Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    I agree with your assesment that the still shaky legitimacy of the liberal republic would be destroyed by the defeat. One disturbing factor of influence you didn't mention yet would be that the Germans will be in the beginning as unreasonable as the Allies in OTL on the point of reparations...
  6. Explain the AH Quote

    From the prelude to the book The Taino Empire: A Complete History of Cuba, about the rise of the Taino peoples into a Carribean-coastline dominating Empire in the early 1200s, after contact with the Norse Kingdoms of Northeastern and Northern North America. When Spain came to the new world in...
  7. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Do you know why that pact failed beacuse they goals were incompatible. Same with a Communist France and a Capitalist British Empire.
  8. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I'm really unsure which option to chose, there's so little information to base a decision on.
  9. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    While you certainly cannot predict future events based on what happened in OTL, I would say that it is more likely than not that the US will get involved. In the early 20th Century, European Affairs were World Affairs. To remain relevant as a Great Power, the US must get involved. Also, the US...
  10. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I highly doubt that if France goes Red...I think the fact that Britain got off easy and has no motive besides "restoring balance" means that they ain't ever backing a communist power... that is, if the Red Scare still happens the way it did OTL. If the Bolsheviks never come to power, then maybe...
  11. What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    No but the RN was listening to the 2nd London Restrictions hence why the KGVs weren't given the specs of the Lions and the Crown Colonies the specs of Edinburghs
  12. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Absolutely NOT. He was attainted and Edward IV gave the Exeter‘s lands to his sister Anne (reason for which both her namesake daughters were heiresses of that lands)
  13. State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    You've allready admited the existence of the 'Silent Dictatorship' yourself - so, what is your point? Yes, in retrospect I should've said 'Military Dictatorship' instead of 'Junta', but an argument about terminology doesn't warrant it's own thread. As for the 'network' of local military regimes...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I have my 2nd Thurs. First was fine but I hear often 2nd can be a bit of a hit
  15. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Conceptually, the Type XXI was sound. The execution sucked. Not least fundamental design flaws, like access to the battery wells or the (needlessly complicated) hydraulic torpedo reloading system. To even propose the Type XXI needs the Kriegsmarine to be losing, or Dönitz will just build more...

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Oh I see, I thought he kept his lands until his death?

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

    He is likely to be forced to fully liberalize the Empire. He remains in office, but essentially as a figurehead.

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

    What changes can you think of?

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

    I am referring to an alternate line of realpolitik where it is considered more important to maintain the image of a war in self defense where Prussia defended the Germans from French aggression and this resulted in the creation of the German Empire as a united front of mutual protection more...
