  1. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    If Hitler is removed in '38, does the new government cancel the KdF-Wagen project? :eek: Depending on the timing, the Fallersleben plant might not even have begun construction yet, & OTL the first cars weren't delivered until 1939. If it's kept around, it's a good idea for Germany. It...
  2. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Somewhat, but that was simply a reflection of their increasing frustration, anger and despair, at the development of the war. The basic ideas, plans and goals were the same. The first tests and use of gas chambers started in 1939, with use in extermination camps in 1941.

    How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Wasn't the mentality, as the war got worse, the Germans became more brutal?

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Armstrong would certainly be the warmonger path, probably taking the war to Fascism directly to restore American pride since WW2. The question is how far would he go. Either something relatively sane in comparison like blockading the Treaty Ports, incendiary like arming any resistance in Hawaii...
  5. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Yeah. Military strategy or goals would not change this. If anything, no more war would probably just make the job easier.

    Naval developments in a world without nukes

    To even attempt a nuclear weapon you need plutonium (uranium gun type was never tested they were so sure it would work) for the implosion type. Getting plutonium requires an operating nuclear reactor. Chicago Pile 1 went critical in December of 1942. Rickover is still going to see the advantage...

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Even then it probably won’t get a lot of business for a good long while depending on how long the warlord period lasts.

    These Radicalised Isles; What if Joseph Chamberlain became Prime Minister?
    Threadmarks: Part 2- A Gathering Storm

    Part 2- A Gathering Storm: Joseph Chamberlain had been swept into the office with a fiery populist programme determined to attack the vestiges of entrenched privilege, radically overhaul education and instate universal male suffrage and even introduce stratified taxes on wealth, perhaps far...

    AHC: Socialist Revolution in Britain after World War 2

    Communism in Eastern Europe generally did not happen without Soviet interventions. I seriously doubt it would happen anywhere the Soviets did not go, especially in a country like Britain that did not have a well established communist party already in existence. Communists in France formed a very...

    Its not exactly based on elevation, but terrain. Although it is close enough.
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    It just feels wrong to use Spanish gold as an explanation without any English Pirates being involved.

    just what might have happened if the hero of the British empire, never became who he was

    AHC: Socialist Revolution in Britain after World War 2

    I am interested in the cause and affect between Thatcher’s victory and the Labour manifesto. Did the party allow internally popular but electorally unpopular policy proposals to go on the manifesto because they did not anticipate a competitive election, or did the manifesto contribute to the...
  14. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    What they could have done is to make less synfuel, sell the coal instead and import the oil from the US with the money they got from selling coal. Oil was very cheap at the time.
  15. AHC : Islamic State conquers BOTH Syria and Iraq

    Challenge - To have the Islamic State capture both Baghdad and Damascus, force the previous governments and rebels to capitulate and control all the territory within the modern borders of Iraq and Syria Is this doable? You would need a more violent Arab Spring, zero western intervention, more...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    So, I just finished my Lydia run. It was good, though I got the sense the game wanted me to pick Yuriy and I felt kind of guilty by the end. Still, a very good run, on the level of Serov. I expected a stoic, pragmatic princess, which I sort of got, but I didn’t expect how smug and gleeful she...

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    I was intending for it to unify under Brian Boru. While the Welsh question is a bit more up in the air. I believe that Ireland and Scotland being so culturally and linguistically similar it would probably be natural for them to be close allies. Well I could could see the Irish monarchs inviting...

    Yes! Good to see you back! And with one hell of a chapter! Am I the only one who couldn't help but sang the intro?
  20. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    Fission bombs an obvious possability (the Brits. knew that pre-ww2) -- reactors first, then plutonium fission bombs in the sub-mega-ton range The development of the potentially world destroying multi-megaton fusion bombs were as a result of the cold war ... no WW2, do we still have US - Soviet...
