  1. Why is Europe’s population (comparatively) low?

    Not strictly an alt-hist question (Sorry!) but when compared to other countries, Europe’s population is rather pretty low. I know, part of it is because of the World Wars, but then China also suffered a pretty gruesome 20th century (Mao, the Second Sino-Japanese war, Mao, the Chinese Civil War...

  3. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I love the renders of Shuttle II. Good day to be posting them too. An atavistic part of me is sad that there are no ‘proper’ windows for the crew to see out of.

    Threadmarks: 1991-1992 NHL Season

    The 1991 1992 NHL season saw many storylines take shape. First off, hockey returned to the bay area for the first time since 1976, with the san jose sharks playing in front of packed crowds at the cow palace. Unfortunately for them, it was the only positive thing (that, plus doug wilson's slap...

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    I would argue Orleans because it was the Second City of the Duchy of France that the Kingdom of France/West Francia grew out of, its only other major county of the duchy outside of the Pariensis/County of Paris, and the Capetians and their cadet dynasties stuck to this region as the core of the...

    Russia vs Germany, WW2

    Yes, but most of the discussion was "debunking" the premise, rather than actually going along with the question and discussing what would happen.

    What if Canada, the Soviet Union and America was part of a confederal union?

    "When 9/11 occurs". It wouldn't happen. This would introduce so many butterflies it's impossible to predict.
  8. Explain the AH Quote

    A famous quote by winston churchill after the british nazi party member kidnapped his sons randolph and publicly hanged him in berlin this caused churchill to declare full on war with nazi germany. The war which was called the second great war involved many nation notably kingdom of prussia...
  9. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    In Iran advances took place over a broad front; the Iraqis basically only had to overrun the eastern gulf shore of KSA and (given the marvelous strength of KSA) they didn't need a very big force to do it. The Saudi airforce seemed rather formidable on paper but to my knowledge its role in the...

    Who was better in a fight? Cossacks or Janissaries? (TL Research)

    Regular battle the jannisaries irregular battle the Cossacks.
  11. What if Canada, the Soviet Union and America was part of a confederal union?

    So many butterflies senselessly cut down in their prime. What a waste.
  12. DBWI: George Washington, traitor to the empire?

    Neal, those Coup attempts were not internal issues. It was British meddling in American elections. They actually occupied New York during Patrick Henry's presidency. We Americans thank Napoleon for causing Britain to focus on Europe as it allowed us to push the British out a second time. They...

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

    I mean colonial capital does not really compare to the national capital. There was the Novo Scotian and Newfoundland, and Bahamian Capitals too.
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    the us torched York (Can, nowadays Toronto, the then capital of upper Canada) first, they burnt the legislative house and government house. and looted the city completely disregarding any rules. and ottawa wasn't the capital back then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_York
  16. WI: Ford Motor Company buys 'Austin Rover Group' in 1986 - 1987?

    I'm not an expert on the North American SUV/truck market but I'm not sure I agree with this. Range Rover when launched in North America in 86 were going for a very upmarket profile. BMW took this several steps further, with their proposal to install a V12 under a P38 Range Rover. I think this...

    Would've CSA change their national flag to the Battle flag post-victory?

    Spain also used a St Andrew's Cross as a naval ensign during the colonial period and Florida and Alabama claim their St Andrew's Flags are based on the Spanish history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Burgundy#In_the_United_States

    a book published by an "american historian" in 1917...not sure if its a good start, but an interesting one nevertheless.

    WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    Perhaps not int he way the OP postulated it but an Islamic ERE is possible. Austrian and Russian sources literally called the Ottomans the eastern rhomans for a few years honouring Mehmed II's title. Though I don't think a pod in 700s is going to work.
  20. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    That is also my assumption. The little square thing appeared in the reference materials unlabelled, but it would be in about the right spot to help cool the avionics. You may note that I didn't add radiators inside the payload bay doors (no, I wasn't just too lazy to add them!), as I assumed...
