  1. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Does there have to be a battle of Midway? I can easily see a carrier battle (or battles) happening at Guadacanal which will wear out the Japanese carrier forces.
  2. AHC: Have the Conch Republic gain independence

    This gives me images of US tanks heading South across the 7-Mile Bridge to crush the freedom loving Conchians.
  3. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Impossible, if only because Italy has outright annexed Nice, Savoy, and Corsica. I know the Italians have something of a...unreliable, reputation, but they wouldn't be so stupid as to not realize that helping France bring Germany down would only mean they'd be next for France's revanchist...
  4. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    the issue is italy sits on a lot of of "french claims".
  5. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    A lot of alt-history scenarios are pretty depressing or cause seriously saddening situations in the world, so how would you go by changing history to make the best world possible? What would it take for a world in which, by modern-day, there is a situation as close as possible to worldwide...
  6. Exploration without Christianity

    Seconding this. One does not simply assume things happen for no reason, when they happened for a long list of reasons. The Visigoth Kingdom itself surviving another 9 centuries in is equally as implausible; sure, we can say the East Roman Empire lasted until 1453, but that city-state had not...
  7. Challenge: End the Great Depression before the 1932 election

    This is such a difficult question. In part because the specific actors are often judged to be less important than claimed. ie: The larger problem is economics as a science is not as advanced or perhaps capable as assumed. It appears there is a lot we don't understand & out body of theory...

    Have the BMW M1 Series be as successful as possible

    Is it me or from the angle of the pic' does it look like a Ferrari 305? Not knocking it, it still a stunner.

    AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    Well kashmir does produce the costliest variety of saffron. But I don't know if kashmir has the capability to outproduce Iran! Also do we have to reduce Iran's contribution or replace it?
  10. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Botoe

    Thomas Nimene Botoe: 1953-56 The True Whigs often get painted as a North Western Islamic party vs the Patriotic Union's South Eastern Christian Base. This, obviously, is a simplification. The Vai newspaper 'The Commercial' often leaned PU thanks to their distrust of pan-africanism and there...
  11. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    No idea if the following requires a pre-1900 POD or few though interested to know whether it would be possible to further boost the production of Saffron spice outside of Iran, which currently accounts for around 90–93 percent of recent annual world production and thereby dominates the export...
  12. Sony never makes PlayStation

    So Nintendo 64 wins fifth generation rather easily with Sega Saturn as only serious competitor. But that's pretty much it for Ninendo, I expect Sega to win another round. And later... It's all about is there a chance for a thir player.
  13. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    yes, but A, there wasn't enough food, B, they thought they were in a whole lot better position than they actually were, C, If they didn't think it was ok to do all generalplan ost, why would the be invading? This is interesting in a scenario where the German offensive is a counteroffensive (and...
  14. Pax Americana

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Not to mention he absolutely hated being a Lawyer - no way he would want to be on the court.
  15. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    The problem wasn’t Barbarossa, the problem was Untermensch. Imagine a “liberated” Ukraine (and Estonia, Latvia, etc) throwing in with the Wehrmacht. ric350
  16. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Having skimmed through the thread, I saw there was serious discussion on whether Norway could be taken. Here's my 2 cents. This is the OOB for the KM; ships in bold are apparently not built ITTL: TL/DR: - One of the pre-dreads (either Schleswig-Holstein or Schlesien) will need to be used in...
  17. Challenge: End the Great Depression before the 1932 election

    Serious sanctions on Japan over Manchuria brings the Pacific War forward 11 years?
  18. (military) technological progress without WW 2

    While war does make military R&D more important, it can often freeze the implementation of certain technologies as they are not yet suitable for total war/multi-million-man armies' requirements, when they could have been implemented earlier in peacetime. This aside, the impact of French R&D not...
  19. WI: Task Force 16 arrive prior to the Battle of the Coral Sea

    In the original timeline, Task Force 16 after the Doolittle Raid. Was sent to the Coral Sea after re-supplying from Pearl Harbor. With orders from Nimitz that Halsey was to take over command from Fletcher. Obviously that did not happen as the Battle of The Coral Sea occurred between May 3 1942...
  20. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Question, which operation is ditched to allow for the Doolittle Raid (which was the reason the Battle of Midway happened)?
