    allow for a nuclear armed Dominion of Newfoundland ?

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Yeah. I think I misplaced a decimal there... Thanks. So correct the math one point to the left.
  3. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Maybe in hindsight the US should have done their own thing, the UK could have adopted their own intermediate cartridge for all the roles except the long range sustained fire MG role (which could probably have initially been done by the .303 and later replaced by the 7.62x51 or what ever the US...
  4. WI French capital isn't Paris

    How about Orléans? It's a nice, central location, plus it has the Loire as an outlet to the sea.
  5. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    In sufficient quantity to keep the trade going when the Soviets would no longer allow them to take on some of the trade in credit?
  6. Edward III a Scottish prisoner?

    During the First War of Scottish Independence, the Black Douglas won a great victory at Stanhope Park and even came as far as the tent in which Edward III was, resulting in the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton. What are the consequences if the Scots managed to capture Edward III being captured...
  7. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    With destinations going where? Atlanta works as a major domestic hub for the South East, Dallas-Ft. Worth works very nicely for the South West. Miami is about the worst possible location for a domestic U.S. hub, and outside of Central and South America it's near, well, nothing.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Not t Not to mention he could claim I believe its called the divine rite. So that would give him alot of influence over the other Gaelic nobility.
  9. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    The infrastructure of Ireland of this time is not very amenable for a centralized Kingdom. Hard to put down rebellions when you need to march through 100 miles of bogland. Even if he had a longer realm, it is likely to break up.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Definitely, sooner or later they need to industrialise though I do think they can hold together under a tribal system long enough to get there.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    True, but I think it would be up to his son Murchad to really solidify the O'brien dynasty. His best option would be to try create a semi feudalised Gaelic society with centralised government. Then I could see it turn into essentially slightly more powerful version of Scotland.
  12. HMS EAGLE in the Falklands (Story Only)
    Threadmarks: The 1983 Defence Whitepaper

    In the year following the Falklands conflict much had happened on the British political stage. The Defence Secretary John Nott had initially attempted to resign his position when the Falklands had been invaded. However, the Prime Minister had refused to accept all of his attempts to step down...
  13. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    The CP would win quickly (relatively speaking; think 1-2 years instead of 4). They'd be much stronger with access to world trade and France/Russia much weaker without direct British financial support (Italy wouldn't join TTL; Italian economic dependence on Britain was a major factor in the...
  14. South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    If I recall correctly. In the 1961 referendum, non-white support for the monarchy was based on the idea that monarchy could be a safeguard against the further erosion of rights by the National party .
  15. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    Judging from the numbers of people captured (as compared to the million + in the offensive), the Wallies were simply overwhelmed in this sector and the infrastructure allowed for Lyon and Toulon to be captured within 6 weeks.
  16. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    You're probably right, but it depends what airfields/size is in the captured area. I suppose a major parachute drop can be attempted, but not even the Wallies can feed 200,000 people this way.
  17. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    There is a better than even chance that Imperial Germany wins the war before the summer of 1915, possibly even the end of 1914. That "Contemptible Little Army" stopped the Heer cold and prevented the Germans for managing to flank the French lines and roll them up. It isn't certain, the German...
  18. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    Outside of damaging their reputation, Germany now has a huge target on its back to prevent them from dominating Europe fully, they now have a border with Italy which creates the possibility of war with them, and inheriting part of the Austria’s Navy will upset Britain even further. It puts them...
  19. South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    Given the history of British imperialism in South Africa, lack of connection with Britain among the black population, and having a white monarchy in a country that just left a white ruled government coupled with sheer time since South Africa become a republic . I don't see why a restoration of...
