  1. AHC: American Interstate Rail System

    Something that I've always thought would be a good departure was following through with the various New Deal era proposals for a National Turnpike company/state-owned enterprise. I believe it was the 1939 Fairbank report "Toll Roads and Free Roads" that called for hundred foot right of way...
  2. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Furthermore, you can only play the 'Nukes are terrible' morality card in hindsight, because at the time, they were considered to be just another type of bomb, not the weapons of mass destruction that we know them as today.
  3. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I suspect that post-TTL WW2, a Frenchman in TTL Alsace-Lorraine will be as common as a German in OTL Kaliningrad. There won't be a French separatist movement if all the French are expelled.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    So many things come in groups of three in this timeline. It's kind of a running gag.... I wonder how many ITTL Muppet and Disney fans are confused at the constant interchange with the Three Musketeers motifs or the Triumvirates or the Troika to describe Jim's current professional relationships...
  5. The last Hanover

    It wasn’t so much a crisis ittl as a brief impasse followed swiftly by a compromise
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I just thought of an even better name for Jim Henson's trio of close friends... The Three Muppeteers. I'm surprised that no one here thought of using that name before.
  7. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    Are the Germans refusing to surrender because of unconditional surrender?will there be a attempt coup to try to install a government that will surrender?
  8. A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Jeez, I thought OTL 1860 election was messy. This tops it by a mile. And I agree with @Walter Rodney Kinghorn that a five-way presidential election will sure make things even more topsy turvy than they already are.

    How would a presidency of Lyndon Larouche look like?

    I had no idea of who Lyndon Larouche was until last year when I made some research on him and found a article accusing the leader of a brazilian trade union to be his "trotskyist-fascist" ambassador in Brazil, and that was the moment when I knew that it would be a wild ride. From what I can...
  10. Effects and consequences if Brezhnev died in 1975

    Is Andrei Kirilenko also a possibility? He too was a prominent member of the cabinet at this time and was succeeded in his position as secretary of the central committee by Chernenko, who himself became General Secretary eventually (if only briefly).

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

    not exactly. Almost every politician in Alsace and Lorraine vowed separatism and regionalism in 1913 and made it their official policy. The alsatians and Lorrainers aided the french in ww1 and now will see their position even more threatened with the German victory. It will be a long time before...

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

    Two damaged by German submarine type XXI and IX-B in dry ... Was 'behind the the keel plate' of a WWII-era German ... An engineer would look at that horror show and tear his hair out.

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    You guys are also forgetting that this war was caused by a lie. That's going to affect the Homefront as well as international response.
  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I suspect that much like with former East Belgium, whatever happens in the 30s might just cause the people of Elsass and Lothringen to drop their Francophone sympathies. What are the chances it turns into a Vietnam-esque situation?
  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Hello, B will do.
  16. Russia vs Germany, WW2

    If you want a scenario where the Nazis don't necessarily have to worry about intervention from the UK, perhaps create a timeline a little earlier. In the Spanish Civil War, forces sent by both Germany and the USSR to fight on their respective sides come to blows and the results are embarrassing...
  17. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Agreed. It was fun at first, mostly for curiosity's sake, then it hijacked the whole thread. Will this TL get closed if this continues? If so, I really want this timeline to proceed as intended.

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    I disagree. The main problem is the terrain is tougher than Iraq’s. The mountains and rainforests in the south make for great areas for an insurgency. The communist rebels in the south need to harass, bomb, and raid areas in the north wearing down the US forces. The US forces then will attempt...
  19. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    I think the fundamental problem is that Ireland just isn't very rich, and thus it is difficult for the island, even united, to sustain land and sea power sufficient to keep the nearby English wolf at bay. Here's a scenario of sorts, not offered as amazingly plausible alas: I rely for much...

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

    Not even about the Type XXI being anything but a DEATHTRAP. It was about Truman trusting his navy to know their business.
