  1. Exploration without Christianity

    This is only sometimes the case, see the polytheist Roman approach to Celtic religion and the Druid priests in Gaul which were functionally exterminated. Pagan religions are good at coopting and syncretizing local traditions but if worship of Quetzalcoatl threatens Visigothic Wotanist/Jupiterian...
  2. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Moltke was designed for 25.5 knots and reached 28.4 on trials, much like Von der Tann by heavily overloading her machinery. Seydlitz was designed for 26.5 and achieved 28.13 on trials. The Derfflingers were designed for 27 knots and achieved 28 on trials.
  3. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    Austro-Hungary will probably accept the Serbian response to their ultimatum with no blank check. They won't be happy with the Germans, but they're just as tied to Germany as the other way around, so it won't end the alliance. If you want Germany allying with Italy and Russia to carve up A-H, a...
  4. Would've CSA change their national flag to the Battle flag post-victory?

    Perhaps a Battle Flag in the canton of a St George's vross - a bit like a White Ensign.
  5. No 1991 August Coup

    Utopian? There's nothing utopian in marxism.
  6. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL
    Threadmarks: 1514 (March) - “It is time to let go the past once for all and look at the future”

    Archduchess Margaret of Austria was nervous and nobody would ever deny who she had all the right to be in that state: preparatives for the imminent wedding of Archduke Charles, Duke of Burgundy were in full course and that already was a big victory for Margaret as Charles in the last months had...
  7. No 1991 August Coup

    Yes, but I get what he means. On a broader sense (just so we are not stuck in a loop) I suppose the question can be did gorbachove still see communism in then traditional pre 91 utopian sense as a long term goal and to that I cant definitivly say yes. There are meny socialists who dont see...

    Fremontian Fracas: An Earlier American Civil War

    I'd say that the war is roughly balanced more or less the same as OTL, as nothing astronomically large occurred in those four years that would drastically shift the balance. As for the generals, here is what I think: Bigger Role: John E. Wool, Edwin V. Sumner, David E. Twiggs, Samuel Cooper...
  9. Have the Rover SD-1 be more successful

    The SD-1 lacked wow factor. My Dad's first brand new car was a Ford Grenada. He always said he got it because he loved The Sweny TV show. Perhaps replace the Grenada in The Sweeny with a SD-1? This might boost sales a bit. I just looked up The Sweeny and noted they made two feature films...
  10. The West is Punic - a collaborative Punic America TL

    Considering he was expecting CHINA, hardly!!?

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

    I'm skeptical. Barbarossa and the Eastern Front consumed a truly absurd amount of resources, especially oil and manpower. And yet the Germans were still able to conduct large operations in to 1944. TTL's Germany, even if the USSR completely cut them off, would be significantly more powerful and...

  14. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    Assuming something like Nat Turner's Rebellion doesn't happen ITTL (which I don't plan on), then you could see the Upper South support gradual emancipation in the early 1830s as Virginia was debating abolishing slavery around the time the rebellion happened in 1831-32 or so. If Virginia decides...
  15. No 1991 August Coup

    I mean communism is the end goal, not the present Everyone from Lenin to Castro to Xi say so, none ever said the state they led was communist at the moment, just that communists were in charge. again, even the plan china delineates for itself (or at least the plan they publicly declare they...
  16. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    He would rename it for the World's Greatest Soldier--Camp MacArthur.
  17. The Forge of Weyland

    If they surface, it will be at night. Light AS patrols and coastal guns. But in practice, after losing 3 subs in as many weeks, it was considered suicidal
  18. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    Does France care? A terse telegram was considered enough to go to war, when ready both Russia and France could find plenty of reasons to pick a fight. UK and US won’t fight for Germany no matter what.
  19. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    How do those numbers compare to Moltke/Seydlitz/Derfflinger? I mean if Von Der Tann is really obviously a lead weight I can see tactics being modified but otherwise I thought she was as fast as any of Hippers ships at Jutland.
