  1. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    ah typical american hypocrisy (if we do it, it is something different), but one german trader (and probably a civilian who saw a good trade, and with no connection to the german govt) and the whole german empire attacks. (and they are also nicely forgetting the british arms trader that was...

    South Africa restores the monarchy after Apartheid

    Even with the Referendum still happening, what makes you think that a referendum that has failed in OTL will somehow pass now? You yourself said restoration in South Africa would not matter much for Australia. So how does the Republic option win now when in real history it failed to do so?

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    This is a bit wrong. The English weren’t much different until the Normans. Brian Boru’s Kingdkm never had a chance to formulate as he died before he could finish uniting Ireland in earnest. Brian living is your best bet.
  4. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Of course they had - what do you think they were paying, and were planning on (during the more than a few weeks they thought it would take to beat france) paying them with?
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    eh what? i guess i don't understand, a male priest who is into boys, is just as much gay, so why would that priest not be considered lgbtq?
  6. No 1991 August Coup

    Without context I am assuming he is decriying a degenerated/deformed workers state https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerated_workers%27_state https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformed_workers%27_state without knowing it and taking that as a representation of all communism/socialism without...
  7. When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Looking at this from the wrong angle. A unified Ireland is very possible once Ireland had been unified under English rule, as a title for a member for the Plantagenet dynasty or one of its successors. It'd start out as basically a vassal state, but over time, could become more and more...
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Not talking about the fact that salt domes are hardly the best place for fires. Unless the Nazis are literally drilling air holes down I don't see how it won't put itself out when CO2 fills the dome from the oil burning. One little airhole from a well shaft isn't likely to cut it!
  9. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    This is one of the major problems when Jutland is discussed. Say, just to make it simple, that all the Royal Navy battlecruisers are sunk (strikingly unlikely, but for the sake of the discussion, we can look at it). Beyond the absolute tragedy for the families of the crewmen killed and...
  10. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    How was the Germans coal situation in 1917 and 1918. I know they were struggling for high quality coal at Jutland. Destroyers got back to port after Jutland needing their engines cleaned out due to low quality coal (the Germans were keeping their limited supplies of high quality coal for the...

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

    All alone in Central Europe, surrounded by not friendly Powers. So when WWI hits later in the Decade, the Austrians want their pound of Flesh. Carving up A-H was not in the cards in 1914 The Germans didn't really want any more foreign Catholics, Adding more Poles, Czechs and Slovenes would...
  12. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    Problem is without British and Empire manpower France is going to be in trouble in fairly short order, especially if Britain staying out leads to the Italians sticking with the Central Powers as they may not believe the French can deliver the territorial concessions they want without British...

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    There was a thread on this sometime last year. My vote was for Clermont-Ferrand as well :)
  14. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Thought the Royal Party travelled to & from South Africa on HMS Vanguard with internal transport by South African Railways. No planes?
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, the Catholic Church is organized religion and thus leans more conservatives so the scandals there would actually swing the accusations away from the LGBTQ folk, especially if it snowballs over time to the other stuff.
  16. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Please demonstrate where German industry had sufficient excess machine tools to export to the Soviets. Same with trucks and electronics.
  17. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    The Grand Fleet didn't come out as much because the Germans didn't come out as much, and if the Germans weren't coming out there was no point in sortieing the entire Grand Fleet, which was after all an expensive proposition. Recall that the Brits had broken German codes and knew precisely what...
  18. Would black population growth be higher in an independent American South

    That’s actually the opposite: in Brazil, Black population is much smaller that should be as mortality rates were incredibly high during slavery. In the US, on the other hand, Black population grew at a much faster rate and kept a much higher African element than in Brazil.
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Sliverwood themepark in Idaho is not to far spokane. It would be better to build a pacfic north west park in Portland or Seattle.
