  1. The Lenin Dynasty

    It would seriously affect the course of Lenin's life in 1899-1917. If he has children to provide for, he can't devote himself exclusively to revolutionism. I don't mean he'll have to settle down to a "day job", but he'll be seriously distracted, and may not become a party leader. He may not be...

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    IJN wargaming (^^^) that is to assume the enemy will conform to what one wishes for him to do. As a Briton; I angle away and loop on the inside curves, USN style, and beat away with my 38cm/42s until Hipper finally figures it out and runs for his life. As I have as little respect for Scheer as...
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Hmm, can I join in on this?
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Me too. [Starts wondering what roles the actors of RDO will take in its absence]
  5. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Makes sense. Odds are Drum will still be their for the next century or so. It's basically just one big chunk of reinforced concrete.
  6. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    It could be a made-for-TV special perhaps with a limited theatrical release. Don't expect the animation to be anywhere near as good as OTL's Pixar production, but more like Duck Tales: Treasure of the Magic Lamp.
  7. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    No. Look at recent elections. The losing party was already talking about the next election before the inauguration.
  8. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    If she doesn't get sunk odds are she ends up getting sold for scrap to Turkey, Bangladesh, Taiwan, or India by the late 1980s.
  9. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    One advantage Liberia has here is that it's relatively bigger, so a limited form of regional unity could still leave it as an influential voice inside of that bigger bloc. For example, from what I recall you've mentioned Guinea has about half of the area and population that it does IOTL because...

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    William Halsey and Miles Browning. Kill them both and you improve PACFLT's chances 200%.
  11. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    In reality, most of these TL should instead focus on the aftermath. For instance, was there someone famous who served on the Enterprise? Or you could make up someone famous who died in OTL who served on a ship not sunk in this ATL (though here, you're just making stuff up).

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

    Shrug... I still think the NAZIs are so incredibly incompetent, they will pull off a Lake Peigneur.
  13. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    As far as preventing the World Wars - unfortunately it is a fact that there is usually an economic boost for the winners of said wars and also a tech boost in several areas across the board. It's not limited to just weapons. Medicine, chemistry, physics, communications, etc. were all broadly...
  14. DBWI: George Washington, traitor to the empire?

    it's possible Ireland never becomes the economic and industrial center of Europe, Napoleon could easily have prevented France from slipping into anarchy for 40 years
  15. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    it's wasn't just a lack of money that led to them not having oil. buying oil to stockpile it for later use was an idea that conflicted with their ideology. and they were very much an group of ideologs
  16. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    IMHO, all countries have to be merged into a single block (eg like USA) ... otherwise your ideal of 'prosperity for all' is impossible as there will always be 'winners' and 'loosers' as individual countries complete with one another (and some countries fall into dictatorships that decide to take...

    WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    a. Yorktown class armor schemes would enable a shambles of the superstructure to Vals' bombs but IJN SAPPYs unless of the 550 lb AP "special purpose" variety will utterly fail against the hanger deck armor of a Yorktown as they did at Coral Sea. b. USS Saratoga and maybe a time delay. FDR...
  18. AHC: better Italian Performance in the third war of independence

    Honestly just follow Prussian advice and follow their strategic plan, better if the King stay out of the chain of command so to avoid confusion; that will have given a much better result than OTL instead of trying two plan at the same time with both commander of the operation believing that they...
  19. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    They can't keep them fed forever, but long enough for a breakout/breakin to succeed. Meanwhile once the skies clear up, air interdiction would badly cut German supplies needed to attack the pocket. While breaking out may be difficult, in the absence of an all out attack and with the pocket so...
