  1. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I’d very much like to see people assess Kennedy’s legacy when his presidency is done
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, that just cut the Brat Pack in half.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    No one said he’d be a word for word male Margaret. I’d imagine he’d be decent at administration and diplomacy. Why though? Chances are he won’t take arms against Richard until 1460, executing him would make Richard look like a tyrant.

    I void my claim to a second list, I'm too busy right now, sorry.
  5. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    Malta severely hampered the re-supply of DAK, would it's removal improve it sufficiently to enable a Axis victory, maybe (i don't know enough, but would guess no). But it was the primary limiter, not the ports.
  6. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    And? Prestige, unpopularity etc are for all intents and purposes "inherited" from the predecessor and associated with the activities of other dynasts-neither of which point towards his redepemption, and if the Dorset branch still "betrays" Edward, he's as good as dead. And what redemption? If...

    Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Both these nation expand, so ruthania modern Ukraine what does estonia want? Has poland tried to claim or buy Vilnius? Surely poland wants it badly? Btw how does forced assimilation work?
  8. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    It also depends on the international situation. Is there still a plausible anti-German coalition (eg a Russia stronger then in 1914 + Britain + France again + maybe an austro-german split or an involved US)? What was the peace like (did it cripple the French? does Germany treat France poorly...
  9. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    A severely supply limited front around 150 000 men - The Atlantic, less than that, what partisan warfare? The Dutch, Belgian, French, Norwegian, and Danish resistance were by no means a big problem. Those early bombing raids were no real constraint on Germany, the British were deficient in...

    Rebirth of an Empire "O Renascimento de um Império" v2.0

    The term while modern connotations does have negative view, was written to provide the readers with the impression these inventions or ideas were viewed at the time. To some they were “devils work” to others they challenged established ways of doing things while to some they threatened their...

    Papal Assination: a POD proposal with an incapacitated Pope

    I was wondering if an attempt to put a new pope in while the old one was still breathing might offend the more conservative members, resulting in more sedevacantists or people who think that the old pope was still the legitimate one, no matter that he was in a coma, possibly long term or even...
  12. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    True, but insubordination was hardly unique to the Germans in 1917. Comparable incidents happened to the British and the French. Those armies continued onward to war-ending offensives.
  13. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_United_States Miami and Fort Lauderdale are #12&13 If one of those carried the bulk of the combined traffic, it'd be up there with Dallas or Denver...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    they got 9% of the votes in 1924 when the french economy was its worst, and the people were becoming increasingly radicalized. Managed to increase it by a meager 2% in 1928 after conducting thousands of protests and rallies as the french economy continued to flounder, had its percentile reduced...
  15. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    I used 奉 as it also refers to waiting on/upon, believing and giving something with respect - thus referring to the (allegedly) longed-for nature of the new dynasty, as well as a reference to the stated goal of restoring proper morals to China. It also works as a reference to new imperial symbol...
  16. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Fair point. I will retire.
  17. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    See, I just wonder whether the right would be seen as a credible alternative to the pro-war left, given that they were also very much in favor of the war. I would expect the anti-war left to grow, and for some leftists who supported the war to defect to their camp. Then again, if it's defeatists...

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Except he is not his Uncle or Father. He is still competent here, so he could redeem himself. He won't take arms against the Yorks (or not officially at least) until he comes of age, so in around 1460.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    The 3” M1918 is certainly an appropriate gun for the time - a Zis-3 would be significantly out of time having not been produced OTL until the 1940s. Given that you may be being a bit lenient on historical timelines, what era of vehicles are you considering for your potential StuG?
