  1. TL-191: After the End

    In the US, it’s certainly not a utopia, in 2021. Legal discrimination in the US against African-Americans was banned by Congressional legislation at the end of the SGW and during the first generation after the end of the SGW. This was in large part a response by US policy makers and the US...
  2. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    Yep Syria now has one of the best ports on the Mediterranean and far more water/farmland plus the French can't ignore them now, overall Syria's destiny is altered a lot, in many way's positively. With their larger population and GPD plus more airbases/ easier supply lines ect it's a question if...

    Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    This is a very unusual POD but interesting to explore... I'll be looking forward to this...
  4. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    I guess the American march across the Pacific will be delayed, plus other changes, here and there ... But it doesn't really matter if the Marines are only ashore on Iwo Jima instead of Okinawa - or still stuck on Tinian - on August 6, 1945.
  5. WI: no alphabet

    This is why other languages use diacritical marks. Modern English, by and large, does not (except with loan words).

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I don t think it's possible under any circumstances.Unless one has radar.Or reliable aerial scouts and very clean burning oil fired boilers. Then there are those new fangled green boys that actually explode after penetrating armor .And if the British don t have to build cargo and ASW ships...
  7. WI: no alphabet

    Except that "th" is ambiguous where thorn did not have to be. But you are right, the worst offenders are the vowel sounds, both because of the Shift, and because there are only six vowel graphemes (one of which does not really count: it also marks a consonant, and is mostly a double of another...
  8. State(s) of War in Germany in ww 1 - about Cliches on Cliches

    Who are the DCG? Are they the Corps Area commanders to whom the power was vested by the 1851 law? Did the Reichstag provide the taxation and funding to pay for the actions of the Silent Dictatorship?
  9. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    Anyways, it's a very complicated topic, involving at least a half dozen groups of ships, aircraft everywhere and events can change from OTL quickly. Any feedback is welcome! FYI, the IJN ships involved are listed below, along with their TL damage. BBs Yamato: Entered battle with 3,000 tons of...
  10. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    My first TL! Apologies for typos, I'll edit as i see them. That's the curse of writing on a phone. The basic premise here is in two parts: 1. A bomb hit prevents Kurita from issuing the turn around orders for some time. In general I'll try and have a similar number of bomb/torpedo hits to OTL...
  11. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    The F 105 would likely stay in first line service well into the late 80's, possibly even showing up in GW1 as ANG or AFRC aircraft assuming that plays out the same way.
  12. TL-191: After the End

    No Railway Series and potentially no railway preservation movement ittl. Not a pleasant thought.
  13. What if the soviet union never fell?

    Can't see how a 1949 POD is going to avoid a cold war .. I mean even if Stalin never gets Nukes there is still going to be a carve up of the defeated Germany (it's in the interests of the Allies to make sure there is zero prospect the Germans trying for a 3rd round ...) Even if no WW2, there's a...

    Explain the AH Quote

    A speech held by Russian Socialist Republic president Sergei Kirov (1886-1958) in 1943, during the Russian pushback of the Nazi German forces, known to be one of the bloodiest periods of human history, involving the combined effort of millions of Russians and their allies, against the Germans...

    Explain the AH Quote

    (OOC: I would've liked a little more than one 7-word sentence tbh.)
  16. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Who are also white, more priviledged than those peasants, and last but not least, like those peasants they didnt benefit in any way from the atlantic slave trade

    Map Thread XX

    I'll try to post a much big immage. However: The world n 850 ab incarnatione Domini In VI century Justinian I tryed to recapture the west, lost to germanic invasion, sending his best general Flavius Belisarius. In 537 he was offered the throne of Italy if he defected from Justian. In OTL he...

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Only posts I’ve seen on this forum, but that of course makes if it likely to be alt history, not actual history.
  19. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues

    0909 Over the waters off Samar Smoke and cold weather had separated the TBF from the unmatched group of other strike planes he'd been with. Desperate calls were coming in over the radio for air support to hit encroaching cruisers, but the pilot had a different target in mind. Like a giant...
  20. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I think the assumption has to be that the German battlecruisers are well out of sight whe lighter units lure the unsupported (?) 5th BS onto the main HSF. Naturally 5BS turns tail after a brief exchange of fire at long distance . Then out of a convenient fog bank looms the Scouting Group...
