  1. For Want of An Extra Ship

    I had actually forgotten about this. But I digress. Part 1: The Early Life And Times of Arthur Hitler Arthur Hitler was born on April, 20, 1889, in Waterville, Wisconsin. Waterville was where many Austrian immigrants like his parents, who had taken the names Alfred and Clara Hitler, lived...

    WI Germany Took Indochina Instead Of Alsace-Lorraine In Treaty of Frankfurt?

    Was the French navy used at all in the suppression of the Black Flags? Unless they have some sort of naval component or the Chinese are willing to overtly back them Germany having a smaller navy seems irrelevant – they would be able to ship in troops and materiel via chartered liners and...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    30,000 versus 200 gardaí The old one was in a Georgian Terrance building and not built for defence. The new one was built like a bunker. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/18/newsid_2514000/2514727.stm
  5. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Without Studlersterring the pot the British will continue with the Rifle No9 in the original .270 calibre, both the Canadians and the Belgians want to adopt the FN Fal in the same calibre. During trials by other nations the Spanish 7.92x 41mm CETME cartridge shows superior performance than...
  6. Chrysler Europe minus Simca

    Automotive challenge: Find a way to turn Rootes aka Chrysler UK into a major European manufacturer. Chrysler’s European focus is purely on Rootes. Therefore, one condition: Simca is bought by Fiat rather than Chrysler (although an ATL Stellantis may lead to them all being bundled together...

    WI: no alphabet

    There's likely still going to be diffusion of scripts from West Asia and North Africa. That means Europe picks up some kind of semanto-phonetic tradition, either based on a mix of syllabic and logographic characters à la cuneiform or hieroglyphic Luwian, or the consonant-syllabic-logographic...
  8. WI: no alphabet

    A nearly alphabetic script may still emerge in Kush. IOTL it stayed there. ITTL it might find ways to fill an otherwise empty niche and spread, although it might find a stiffer competition as the Hellenes and the Canaanites would likely adapt a simplified script for themselves, either cuneiform...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Dublin and Monaghan and bombing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_and_Monaghan_bombings If the British were behind that one they made sure they never got caught. That is the point of a covert operation, it is meant to be covert and you need plausible deniability. You need to have so very...

    Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    The Quipu Chronicles were the writings of an unknown Spanish imperialist on the local cultures in the Andes mountains from economic recordings to religious observations.

    I hope you don't mind how I made my character the Human bad guy already in Them, I've always wanted to be a bad guy in something, and every story needs a good villain.

    How big was the crowd that tried storming the new embassy in 1981 compared to the crowd demonstrating outside the old embassy in 1972?
  13. List of monarchs III

    I guess it has something to do with Byzantine Empire or one of it's remnant states.

    Thanks.
  15. WI: no alphabet

    What if the alphabet is never created? The Semitic tribes never create the Proto Sinaitic script and all subsequent systems are butterflied away. Provided Linear B is still forgotten how does w?riting develop in Europe

    When did the Western Roman Empire lose control over Raetia and Noricum? (Some maps depict the Empire holding them until 476, others do not.)
  17. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    That was what I was going for Ah, no. Nice only fell at the eleventh hour. I'm actually glad you brought up updates. It gives me a nice segway into an announcement: From now on, this TL will update once-weekly, on Sundays. This way, I have a weekly deadline which forces me to write something...
  18. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Good call, there is really no need to reinvent the wheel, and NATO countries are already using it anyway. Either of those works for me. Even the 7.92 Kurz necked-down to .30, .28 or .27 makes sense. Before people say the .30 carbine is about the same - nope, the 7.92x33 offers ~50% greater...
  19. Explain the AH Quote

    A line from the political campaign against john kerry re election which in the previous year has been indicted as a prime suspect in the collapse of the croatian economy. Kerry was known to invest in a croatian medical firm "MediCro" whl in turn have been outsourcing many legal bonds to the...
