  1. WI Carter never became US President?

    I figured that the only way to prevent Carter from becoming President was to have the Republican Party nominate Reagan in 1976 rather than stick with Ford.

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    He asked me a similar question and I was confused why? It had been a while since I updated the timeline but not that long.
  3. The last Hanover

    Lord Melbourne would be a prominent guest at the first dinner given by the Queen after mourning for her father officially passed. It would be also the first time a dinner invitation from the Sovereign would be issued from the new Buckingham Palace where after much arguments Queen Adelaide had...
  4. Exploration without Christianity

    I figured it would be like England where there are several different dynasties but the same Visigothic people in the area.
  5. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Patent is not proof that an idea can be implemented (edit: at large scale) with available materials and technology. The 1916 patent date is irrelevant. The 1940 success by the Swedes the report mentions is interesting. The geology for salt dome storage is in the wrong place though from a...

    Threadmarks: Part 121, Chapter 2021

    Chapter Two Thousand Twenty-One 25th September 1970 Tempelhof, Berlin The schoolwork had instantly become far more difficult. The year before Sophie had been placed in classes that were meant to prepare her for this, but the expectations had risen markedly. Into this was the problem that...
  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    Probably just sit back and watch. When your two main geopolitical enemies are bleeding themselves out fighting each other, why not just kick back and watch the world burn?

    Why is Europe’s population (comparatively) low?

    Well, given that Europe is a continent, we should probably define the portion being used for this. Lisbon to Tallinn with Britain tossed in? Or is russia involved as well?
  9. State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    Because derailing a thread is regarded as breach of forum etiquette. Some folk get het up when we have pages on an originally related subject that gains a mind of its won. Sometimes it is interesting, but when it grinds down to a "Yes" "No" argument we'd rather it was canned, or at least taken...
  10. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Why would it be deleted? Is there forum drama happening somewhere?
  11. DBWI: Unified Britain?

    A unified nation state? Unlikely. For a start, I know from bitter personal experience that Wealh and Guent are going to find it hard to find common ground. Guentians dismiss Wealschmen as 'Gogs' and you are guaranteed to send a man of Guent into a rage if you call him Wealsch. Two countries...

    Hey, P-M? This hasn't been threadmarked yet.

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

    They fought a war they could not win, but even in the fighting of it, they were incompetent. The devil in the details can be summed up with four choice examples... a. Use of the railroads. Diverting railroad rolling stock from the logistics of war fighting to mass murdering Nazi defined "under...
  14. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    While it’s inevitable foe the evangelical Abrahamic religions to take over, any chance for traditional African religions to retain any sort of power in Liberia?

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Duchy of France ? Never heard of it, and I'm French. Orleans was indeed a rather large city, but Paris was more central in Neustria, more defensible, and had a history of being an important trade city. Paris was the historical capital of Neustria by the Carolingian era. It would take a...
  16. Was there a realistic chance for all of Germany to become a marxist-leninist socialist country in the aftermath of WW2?

    In western historiography the general Soviet policy on Germany in the aftermath of WW2 is often perceived as a series of cladestine plans to transfer all of Germany into the Soviet sphere of influence. Many historians in particular see the famous Stalin Notes of 1952 as a trick to get Germany...
  17. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    Yes, and I'd like a talking horse but sadly those don't exist in the real world. The actual requirement for the USAF was something to replace all of the aging F-16s they had (and have), and ideally a lot of the F-15 airframes as well since the F-22 hadn't been procured in great enough numbers...
  18. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    Landings in Dalmatia would be very bold, but I would think Istria could accomplish the same. Better to try and outflank the Quadrilateral through Trent or the Venetian littoral. Would a longer lived Cavour be capable of leashing the king and perhaps getting someone other than a bench warmer in...
  19. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    that sounds little too much like that 'when we do it it is something different' which we saw earlier. it was the seat of the governor-general though
  20. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I will cover this in the end of year pop culture round up.
