  1. WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    I too am in the camp of 'just not feasible'. Ostrogorsky, one of the leading Byzantologists, has argued that Iconoclasm was in and of itself an Islamic influence, and that alone got Byzantium a century of internal strife. Another point which hasn't been debated yet is that getting Islamized...
  2. Was there a realistic chance for all of Germany to become a marxist-leninist socialist country in the aftermath of WW2?

    You'd need Soviet tanks on the Rhine for that; in other words, an alt-WW2, not an alt-postwar.
  3. Why is Europe’s population (comparatively) low?

    well in the case of much of East and Southeast Asia it comes down to rice. Rice is surprisingly nourishing, a person could get pretty much their entire non-protein diet from brown rice and beans a some fruits. The key element however, is that it can be harvested around 3 times a year. Wheat can...
  4. Germany and Japan Unite!

    Long term, I think it would be much better than Barbarossa. The oil fields in the ME weren't as well developed as they are today, but they could still dig for more and if the Russians ever did try to invade Germany, the Germans could bomb the Caucasian oil fields from Iraq and Syria.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Yeah, Charles is still a very powerful man. He may have lost the opportunity of an alliance, but he still has his own holdings to back him up
  6. 1938 The confrontation with Germany

    Rommel's Panzers helped to capture the oil fields and shatter the Soviet defending forces.
  7. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    The War of 1812 is a draw on paper. But one of the combatants is the global hegemon and the other is a fledgling former colony, so it's a defacto US win. You must be a seething Canadian in order to harp about how the US "lost" the war of 1812.
  8. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    In decisions between the President and the Prime Minister of Canada there had been a meeting of the minds regarding trade and co-operation on further restoration efforts that could benefit both nations. A decision was made to move up the restoration of rail links between the two nations as...

    Germany and Japan Unite!

    Until logistics caught up to them.
  10. Germany and Japan Unite!

    The Germans did a lot of things that people thought were impossible

    What is the most plausible ‘axis victory’ scenario you’ve read/seen?

    Wolfenstein: The New Order. ...oh, all right, Fatherland (the novel). The changes are enough that I can see that world happening. Unlikely doesn't mean impossible and especially ASB.
  12. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Hey, I think India will be a far greater economic power than OTL TTL. Even if its economic liberalization happens as late as OTL which is questionable given that the Soviet Union is losing more international influence, it should likely end up being the prime "factory of the world." China will...
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So more focus should be on the plot then?
  14. Russia vs Germany, WW2

    Pretty hard to invade and occupy a country with over seven time zones when 75% of your logistics is run through horses.

  16. Flag Thread V

    Two silly flags i made but never had a reason to use. Flag of the Railroad Republic of Terry Town. Which as the name suggest i imagine as being a weird western railroad town, run either by an old man with delusions of grandeur, or a straight up conman, doesn't really matter which. And then...

    Why is Europe’s population (comparatively) low?

    This is certainly a very big one, around 60 million Europeans left Europe for elsewhere between the 1500s and mid 20th century, and that has since translated into a European diaspora numbering between 550 million and 1 billion (depending on how one counts mixed race individuals). For comparison...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    It's probably just what Canada did in OTL but on as larger scale and with more whites involved since there's more settler's here. Without 1812 Tecumseh is probably a nobody here so that might explain it, that or just butterflies.
