  1. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    There was a lot of hints by the British that they would buy the Kongos. The Japanese was as you say no to selling. They were dropping plenty of hints that they would respond to a British request for a naval expeditionary force to be sent. No such request was made. Similarly the British would...
  2. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Quite bold to assume Henry Beaufort isn't dead. If Tewkesbury still happens and he's a Lancastrian-he's screwed. If Buckingham's rebellion still happens like otl but in favor of him-he's screwed. No one liked him, nor his father, nor his uncle, nor his house. Henry Beaufort otl 3rd Duke of...

    WI: Apollo 13 becomes the most expensive suborbital flight in history?

    IOTL, the pogo oscillations on that engine caused the center engine to shut down early, which allowed the mission to the moon to proceed. Here, I’m proposing that the center engine doesn’t shut down, but breaks apart the S-II stage.
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Same here. OTOH, this probably leads to Jerry Sandusky and Larry Nassar (for starters) getting exposed earlier than OTL, IMO...

    Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    He already is. GOing outrifght court packing like that might actually piss off people on his side, and that's not something he wants. Either way, next election is gonna be a doozy.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Thank you :) The problem is with the fact that all of the others are descriptors - Yuan, seeking to demonstrate the dynasty's essential nature to the Middle Kingdom, Ming, seeking to promise that the Han Chinese will have bright reigns to come, and Qing, seeking to emphasize the purity of the...

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Definitely. I could see these Beauforts implementing Salic law as a screw you to the Yorks, granted they'll probably still marry into the Yorks to appeal to their supporters.

    Alternate warships of nations

    A host of links to US Navy ship designs 1911-1925

    As it happens, I attended a boarding school called Saint Stanislaus.

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Again as material as said before the Beaufort claim varies from person to person. Richard II's act said the Beauforts were entitled to all dignities in England (which in a strict reading would include the throne) and Henry IV's exclusion legality is disputed.
  11. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    If Margaret was good enough to "pass" rights to her son, then no doubt that both this alter-Margaret and her potential sons would be considered rightful hairs of Lancaster dynasty and supported by any Lancasterians that survived. So I expect War of the Roses to end more or less the same way as...
  12. WI: Apollo 13 becomes the most expensive suborbital flight in history?

    Hunh. I never knew that problem happened on Apollo 13!
  13. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Sounds like Canada had its own version of the Trail of Tears- whereabouts is the First Nations Reserve? On the subject of First Nations, Sherman's OTL middle name is conspicuously absent- what happened with Tecumseh in this timeline?
  14. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    By what logic can you assert this? It just doesn’t pass the sniff test. The lack of support you’re claiming for the PCF is belied by the fact that a majority of the SFIO membership left to form the PCF. And somehow in the wake of the total discrediting of the parties that brought the war, this...
  15. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Interesting. I could definitely see them preferring Germany over Britain if the British failed to defend them, especially if they got sold out at the peace table.
  16. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Facts point AGAINTS him having a good blood claim...
  17. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    A lot of the far right mananged to rally behind the Vichy regime though. Not just fascists, but also monarchists like Maurras, lukewarm socialists like Laval, and so-called "national communists." Also, a lot of major generals were reactionaries.

    How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    None of that does anything to enhance the shipping capacity of the Lybian ports. Egypt almost certainly stands as the same logistical issues hamstring the German and Italian forces.
