  1. Flash in The Pan

    Was Imperial Russia & the Tsar even capable of such a massive organized rescue?... The religious backlash alone would be tremendous. "End of the world" and "repent ye sinners" movements would sprung up everywhere, and not just from fringe movements; I'd be wiling to bet mainstream religion...
  2. The last Hanover

    Elizabeth II? William V? Oooh?
  3. Exploration without Christianity

    Well, that's a lot of dead butterflies. I think this whole concept of 'axial' religions is very Abrahamic in worldview, failing to acknowledge that religion doesn't work the same way everywhere. Buddhism, for instance, is not really a religion per se, but rather a school (in fact several...

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    From what I read it was confined to the new transition team and the involved parties. Zimbabwe is more ambiguous yes

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

    The three dogs are not at issue. The inability to deal with the salt dome properly, IS. The Dambusters example is not applicable.

    AHC: more capitalist friendly Rome

    The Roman policy of Bread and circus to buy votes and the need to go on wars of conquest to pay for it was not good for the economy long term. https://fee.org/articles/of-bread-and-circuses/
  7. What if Canada, the Soviet Union and America was part of a confederal union?

    Might be less ASB if the USSR disintigrates and post-communist regions individually vote to join with USA ....
  8. The last Hanover

    April 20th 1903 Telegraph to British embassies and consulates: "Regret to inform Her Majesty The Queen passed peacefully in her sleep at 10:15 Sunday eve. God save the King." The death of the 82-year-old Queen broke across the British Empire through April 21st and left in its wake a sense of...
  9. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Given the date I assume that wouldn't be hard as it around when it was done OTL.
  10. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    WW1 started the rise of the US into an economic Hegemon in the mid-war period and post ww2 period, but it definitely did not make or break america.
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    And kill three dogs? Lets remember that all forms of energy production carry risks (as the 1600 killed beneath the waters from the Mohne and Edersee dams found out )
  12. Magnum's naval PoD's. Ep. 7 - Danish navy puts up a fight in 1940

    This one is a really minor one compared to the others, but I guess it can be quite fun. This is the German Kriegsmarine OOB: For our purposes, we're going to be focusing on the first group, centered around the pre-dread Schlweswig-Holstein, and comprising 4 minesweepers (one of which was...
  13. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    All True and pertinent. In terms of Democracy, by 1957 in OTL the true whigs had held the presidency for 79 years, opposition parties that did try and run against them were routinely harassed, locked up and killed and a lot of the elections were fixed. This Liberia has seen its fair share of...
  14. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Agreed I never meant to say it would optimize the KM HOwever I do feel like they could have pulled off Norway without wasting so many cruisers and destroyers, rather they could have sacrificed more converted merchant ships and light craft But it was entertaining and educating for me to get the...
  15. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Wow, it's much smaller than I imagined but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Now just need to make the LRB's capable of fly back and vertical landing and you've a fully reusable, cheap space launch system.
  16. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    and shoving all countries in one banner or block is even more problematic, besides the fact that countries that big collapse easily on the minor sign of stress, they promote one culture over others, the British empire was not kind nor treated its African and Indian subjects kindly, even if they...
  17. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    "SS Tees"? Canada has those in 1914? Wow this is really an un-apologetic "Canada-wank" ain't it! :) Randy

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    Odd. It has been a long time since I read up on this area when writing my LLM but when I spent time reviewing CODESA I don't recall the UK monarchy being a topic of discussion. That's not to say it wasn't, just that it wasn't relevant enough to come up in the commentaries and texts I was...
  19. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    And if RN sees all KM sitting in port they are unlikely to commit all their forces to stopping the invasion
