  1. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    ASSUMING the Germans put a pre-war building tempo you are looking at BEST 2.5 but more likely 3 full years. So we are talking late 1917 but much more likely 1918 for any ships to be finished. Then you need to include another several months to work the ships up so we are into 1918 without a...
  2. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Because of the recent death of prince Phillip, a lot of stories about their marriage has been in the media. One of this stories is that Phillip propose Elisabeth in 1946, but Georg V said to Elisabeth wait until after the travel of the family to South Africa to give time to her thinking about...
  3. AHC/WI: Reagan 68', Nixon 80'

    One thing to consider: Reagan was much more Libertarian at this point in his career. Much of his move to the right was to appeal to the Moral Majority that Carter was courting... and they don't exist yet. One key thing for a Reagan Presidency in this era: he wasn't against abortion, just felt...
  4. The Empire Parnell Built

    That makes sense to me. I've made the change in the text but kept his title for the infobox because it reflects the British cultural hegemony of TTL's wikipedia equivalent.
  5. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Mac historically warned Kennedy against involvement in Vietnam. His argument was, “never fight a land war in Asia” with the example of Japan’s experience in WWII showing that such a conflict in all but unwinnable, especially once China gets involved. It’s possible that Korea in TTL will have...
  6. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    Doesn’t Miami have two of the largest airports in the US with Fort Lauderdale and Miami International? With their combined traffic Miami must rank fairly high in the OTL.

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Ooh good to know. No worries I won't rush you. And I agree "Camp Arthur" is a great rename too
  8. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    What does Iceland have to do with this? The HSF had plenty of ways to draw out the Grand Fleet without adventuring on to the Atlantic: raids in the English Channel, bombarding Britain’s east coast, the Scandinavian conveys, etc.

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    That was the first thought for a rename I had too! Think I'll go with 'Camp Arthur' though (thanks @Locke01 )... seems to be the more realistic pick. Mac almost definitely wouldn't support a federal right-to-work law. His ideology is rather hard to pin down, but 'libertarian' fits better than...
  10. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    But Mackensen was laid down in Jan 1915. The last German battlecruiser to be completed before the war was Seydlitz - in the 27 months from Feb 1911 to May 1913. If Mackensen is constructed in the same amount of time, she’s commissioned in April 1917. The Royal Navy for its part commissioned the...
  11. AHC: Craft a post-Napoleanic France with survivable nations detached from it

    I do find it interesting that France never had to return their segment of the Basque Country or their corner of Catalonia to Spain after the Napoleonic Wars when it's such a minor loss. Although given political events in Spain in the 20 years after, it's possible that France would've found a way...
  12. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    And the reality is that even if they came out early they would have wound up facing Queen Elizabeth class "Fast" BB (probably the single biggest change if the HSF had them in service earlier is that the last four Revenge class are reordered/modified to be Queen Elizabeth class). Germany would...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I honestly don't mind the mod in and of itself. My issue is that so many people think of it as in any way realistic.
  14. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Kaiserreich cliches sound annoying enough to make me pine for the old-school "Axis U.K./France vs. Germany + U.S." cliches.

    Impact on Great Britain during WW1 and WW2 if Canada part of USA

    ...Southern Québec + Labrador) would be different, as @David Flin quite rightly points out. Now, assuming we're ignoring the butterfly effect here: *WW1: Probably would not make much difference as far as the British war effort goes, as much of it was primarily a strategy of trying the same...

    No 1991 August Coup

    What if the coup d’etat attempt against Gorbachev never happened? Does the New Union treaty get signed and reform the USSR? How would things differ for the lands of the USSR in comparison to OTL? What events are likely to be changed by this?

    WI Spain never allies with France during the 1790s and 1800s

    While I'm not necessarily an expert on Napoleonic Spain and its policies. It does appear to me that regardless of Spanish desires, the country would be dragged into the war. Ever since the War of the Quadruple Alliance in 1718-20, it became painfully obvious to anyone in the Spanish government...
