  1. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    Britain will find it hard to find allies anywhere. France & Russia will feel betrayed by British intimations of support that dispersed like early morning mist, especially if they end up with huge debts owed to London. No-one would trust the UK for some considerable time.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Yes, I could see things getting nastier ITTL as a result of the scandals in Hollywood and the Catholic Church in American society, but not enough that the majority of U.S. government or society is going to agree on restricting LGBT rights federally, which is the only thing that's going to set...

    The West is Punic - a collaborative Punic America TL

    Extract from Christopher’s diary circa 1492: Today I have found a most peculiar people. They call themselves Punics, and claim ancestry from the ancient civilisation of the same name. They do not worship the Lord, but a number of polytheistic Gods. They are decked with gold to the point they...
  4. Exploration without Christianity

    So when they see what Tenochtitlan was made of Goth Cortez goes about as his otl counterpart but after sacking the city they set up some mining colonies but leave the rest of the natives to their own devices while politely discussing about which god is which. Would that be correct? I thought...

    No 1991 August Coup

    Maybe Fernan's observation was in reference to Adam Ulam's work, not to DavidT's citation of it (just a guess on my part...)
  6. DBWI: George Washington, traitor to the empire?

    as we all know, after completing his education in England, George Washington would join the royal navy and rise through the ranks becoming a admiral, after harassing French ships during the American war for independence, he had one of the most interesting careers in royal naval history, his...
  7. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I tend to agree with you. For a time the RN's heavy scouting force, the Battlecruiser Fleet, will be outclassed by the appearance of one or more Mackensens. This will last until the first of the Admiral class is available - whether any more follow would depend upon how good British intelligence...

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

    The Spanish are coming (Brazil 1922) On January 29, an UPNG General testified before his own Congress that in his opinion, the Holy Spanish Empire was in for long dragged out conflict in Brazilian lands. His arguments, once summed up, could be divided in two categories: first, that the...
  9. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    I think the Japanese would have messed around with rank and protocol a lot. Appoint a full admiral to command their expeditionary force make Beatty or whoever was the British admiral in charge of the battlecruiser force pay courtesy calls on the Japanese while in Port.
  10. What if NATO does not adopt standard small arms cartridges ?

    What it says on the tin. What if NATO for what ever does not adopt standard small arms cartridges. What would be the likely impacts ? I'm thinking most of the smaller / less prosperous nations will likely adopt the US or UK solutions, France will likely do their own thing. West Germany is...

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    Maybe they unify over the Viking threat.
  12. No 1991 August Coup

    Considering the source, it almost certainly isn't. DavidT is one of the most knowledgeable, clever, and objective people in the AH community. Has been for years.

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    The real question is those Ireland feudalise, for the most part they were still semi-tribal at this point.
  14. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    There were three key lessons from the Vietnam War:- 1) The need for fighters to be agile and have air combat capability. The F-15 and F-16 were designed around this and have proved it in subsequent conflicts. 2) The need for a dedicated close air support aircraft. The A-1 proved the value of...

    Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Possibly. But at the time tensions between the two were not as.high as they would become in the 30s. This was before the empire really dragged it's reputation through the mid in China.

  17. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Something I just thought of - wouldn’t Japanese battlecruisers in the Atlantic antagonize the Americans?
  18. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Hmmmm so the armor for 1 Mackensen is going to have come from something like a hundred U-boats? That does seem like a questionable return on investment.
  19. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    Here's another - merge Fort Meyers, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach into one giant airport at the location of the existing emergency runway. Expand this airport and develop as part of a combined military/civilian use facility. http://www.miami-airport.com/dade_collier.asp
