  1. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Back again to this. Germany have had fuel reserves in any date of 1941 - they were buying oil from Soviets and Romanians, have had some from their own wells, they captured some French stocks in 1940 (easy once a country is defeated), and their synthetic oil sites started production. table So...

  4. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    A scenario if you will. France fund an assasination attempt on the Kaiser. The French fund terrorists in Alsace. The Russians rile the poles up against Germans and give weapons and funding. What can Germany do except sit down and take it. If France wants war there’s nothing easier than...
  5. No 1991 August Coup

    What would you say that vision is? Because both the Soviets and the british labour party pre tony blair had the same end goal in their manifestos, the difference was their approach to get there, not the objective.
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Would it be possible for Metromedia to buy Arista, Def Jam, or Island Records?
  7. WI French capital isn't Paris

    Historically the only real option. The Valois kings lived in the Loire valley for a time before settling down in Paris in the end. Versailles is very close to Paris, its almost a sub urb. I wouldnt call it really distinctive from Paris.
  8. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Sure. The War of 1924 was the culmination following frosty relations between the UK and the PRA. The War started after an american warship blew up while anchored at the british colony of India, like the Maine. The War went well at first for the Americans as Canada was taken, but reached a...

    In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    1) Yes. Though obviously at this point, land gains are good but not the absolute priority. They can't annex Brazil, it would be a headache and an indigestion in one; the priority is to stop this civil war before a million refugees head south because the 'Empire' is too dangerous to live into. 2)...
  12. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Afraid you're right there. Not especially bloody- the Veracruz perimeter saw some hard fighting but elsewhere it wasn't too intense. If I had to guess, I'd say (for the Americans), probably a bit higher than the Spanish-American War. The impact on the American public wasn't too intense either...
  13. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    In 1941 they launched an operation across the entire Soviet border with Europe. In 42 they pushed along a single line of advance, towards oil, with far less troops. And in 43 they fought over a couple of towns. Ardennes was the last Hail Mary, which relied not only of success but in capturing...

    WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    Mentality around war had changed a lot by 1914, no longer would states go to war against Great Powers without significant justification. And Britain's strategy has always been maintaining the balance of power in Europe, if a Franco-Russian alliance defeats Germany, Britain's power relative to...
  15. No 1991 August Coup

    What I mean to say was the vision of utopia that pre 91 USSR had, not that it was a utopia and I am making reference to it in order to say its possible that gorbachove may not have had that vision and that he may have been happy with some other area of socialism as a final destination.

    What If James B. Weaver won the 1892 election?

    Now, this isn't saying that the Democrats would endorse Weaver nationwide as their candidate, but in the OTL election of 1892, the state Democratic Parties of Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Kansas all endorsed Weaver instead of Cleveland as their Democratic nominee, so he in theory received all...

    And so Eleanor is off to England, to marry her ex-fiancé. Hopefully she gives Henry the one thing he needs wants, a living son.
  19. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    Well, without the experience of the Vietnam War the Air Force probably prefers a fast mover supersonic aircraft over something slow and specialized, something more like the F-105 than the A-10...ideally (from the Air Force perspective) with the ability to do other things so that they're not just...
