  1. How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    In a roundabout way volunteers in the military of a mature democracy are part of a democratic military. Ultimate command authority comes from the Democratically elected Executive leaders, whether Parliamentary or separate, and the highest ranks in the military often have to be confirmed by the...

    How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    yeah and like pirate example they could not contest leadership under combat although it gets more complicated the higher you go because what situation counts on being crisis which you can't change leadership.

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

    Liverpool specifically stated that should any city in the Carribbean USA be taken, state capital or not to be returned. New Orleans is included in that comment. Packenham was planning to invade Alabama from Louisiana and Liverpool specifically ordered that all British troops vacate every part of...
  5. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    But it’s what would have happened. A situation without New Orleans looks very different than one with it.
  6. Geopolitics if China and India positions are switched

    Say China and India economic situations are reversed with India being the world's second largest economy with China being the relatively poor but rapidly growing power. What would be the geopolitical impact of this. How would this affect relations between the World powers.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Wouldn’t that have probably taken a long ass time? By that point you’d be getting close to it’s otl independence from GB.

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    August 15, 1947: India gains independence as a single unpartitioned country with C. Rajagopalachari as its first Prime Minister and Jawaharlal Nehru as the Foreign Minister of India.
  10. Democratic North Korea and Totalitarian South Korea

    I could see China booting out the Kim family. I think it would be more likely that the replacement regime would be communist rather than democratic. As to US support I think the US would have continued to support an authoritarian regime so long as it did not become too much of an...
  11. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    The US and UK were actively planning for a joint war against Germany as early as January 1941 with staff conferences. The “US will remain neutral if Germany doesn’t declare war” argument really falls apart when you’ve got the two fighting an undeclared war in the Atlantic by Fall 1941. There...

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

    That's not Lord Liverpool the PM of the UK at the time ordered nor said.
  13. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    I suppose that's true for any high end weapons system, B52s were used against light infantry in South Vietnam for years. However anything can drop bombs or otherwise attack defenseless targets, it takes the might of a multi-carrier CBG to take on the likes of Soviet Naval Aviation in a hot WW3...
  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    New Orleans was THE vital port on the Mississippi. Britain would not have given up such a massive prize easily— if at all— had they managed to take it, treaty or no treaty.

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

    No. On Jan 6 Lord Liverpool found out that the British Carribbean troops were preparing to invade Louisiana and ordered them to give up the city if the city was captured and sent a new envoy to America to tell them that the cities that would be presumably occupied would be return post haste.

    Hello all, I'm sorry to say that I feel that this TL has run its course, as I wish to focus on my other TL, as well as other works. Still, I thank you all for joining me in this, and I would like to provide you with a small epilogue and map of North America as of TTL 2020. ... Since the 16th...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    And another thing you failed to notice in the article, which was rather unsubtly spelled out, was that the Type XXI's main problem was that it was too late to change the outcome of the war, and because they were tied to a naval strategy that was not going to work. It was no longer possible to...

  19. How would you make a a milirary democratic?

    Seems like participatory democracy might apply. Privates elect Corporals from among themselves, who in turn elect Sergeants, etc etc.
  20. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    But, again, had the British managed to take New Orleans they certainly wouldn’t have let the fact that the war was officially over change their advantage. Jackson stated that the British likely would have promptly ignored the Treaty in favor of pressing for much more favorable terms, and that...
