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

    No bro, the good old freedom fighters the Khmer rogue and PRC US allies eventually battered Vietnam into submission and forced them to leave Cambodia, and back out of the Russian sphere into US/China sphere. Granted it took supporting one of the worst groups in the last century, sand a decade...
  6. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    America was already an economic hegemon, being the largest economy on the planet. WW1 and 2 did increase its relative economic standing, but that was only because their competition had destroyed themselves along with all their infrastructure. Without the wars, America happily continues to...
  7. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    I love this story so much! The detail and everything is amazing. Every day during my break at work I find myself updating the page to check for an update. But take all the time you need, this is art!

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    I am very skeptical about any allegations that F. W. de Klerk supported the restoration of the Monarchy in South Africa, and would most certainly have to see a few credible sources back that up. The National Party was the vehicle and backbone of the Afrikaner identity and movement in South...

  11. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    I was thinking to start with Cavour living a few years longer, and that somewhat improving the Italian coordination. What was the Prussian advice specifically? I'm thinking that an earlier commitment to war alongside Prussia, and better coordination and deployment. To indulge in some armchair...

  13. AHC: Have the Conch Republic gain independence

    Well all the republic of the USSR had the right to leave the union - A right not afforded to US states.
  14. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    The US and other countries could do like they did with pistachio production - grow their own and impose steep tariffs or embargo Iranian production. That's the reason why the US used to have pistachios with red stained shells in the 1970s (almost exclusively Iranian imports) but now they are...

    AHC: more capitalist friendly Rome

    My knowledge of the Roman empires economics and politics is limited. In general, economies that allow free trade and low taxes tend to be richer.
  16. AHC: Have the Conch Republic gain independence

    USSR was not into *that kind* of games, they took the international scene quite seriously. Besides, it opens up dangerous possibilities of recognizing the independence of Baltic states by the USA. OTOH, the Khmer Rouge or some African dictators were crazy enough to recognize the CR. But nobody...
  17. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    I guess the invasion depends on the hearts of heart thing. If Iraq sweeps in and the Saudis fold before the 82 come and the royal family is already, maybe some sell out or dead then things get awkward. While I doubt Iraq would shot first I also doubt the airborne would feel bold about fighting...

    WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    I feel confident that there was a plan for almost every possible contingency regarding WMD's, from a single gas shell right up to aa genuine nuclear weapon use, on anything from a single platoon to somehow managing to hit a carrier group. There's no frantic forming plans, just editing...
  20. AHC: more capitalist friendly Rome

    Can we concoct some kind of conflict between merchants/manufacturers and landholder, possibly accompanied by a cultural shift? PoD would be between 200 BC and some time in the Common Era. One issue is general lack of respect for mercantile and manufiacturing in societies dominated by landholders.
