    Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    No. Not until the middle to late stages of the war. Morell was giving him vitamins and other relatively harmless injections until the war started going bad, which encouraged more drugs... Hitler's drug habit is becoming the new "Hitler had one testicle."
  2. WI: ATL Congress of Vienna partition of Poland

    What if at the Congress of Vienna Poland was partitioned differently between Austria and Russia? OTL Russian part of Poland goes to Austria while - crucially - Galicia goes to Russia and the task of collecting lands of Kievan Rus is completed. Does Ukrainian nationalism develop then? Big...
  3. Chinese pulls a Russia, conquerors the eurasian steppe

    Is there a way for a Chinese 'cossack' people to form? Would the Chinese also need better gunpowder weapons?

    AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    No there is only two main ports the regia marina can use Taranto and Naples.
  5. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I can't say that I feel sorry for that. I've only gone to one baseball game in my life and me and my dad left before the game was over.

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Mostly as OTL Indonesian/Javanese symbolism but as adapted from the Dutch flag.
  7. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Don't tell me, Jim pissed off the radical Christianists?
  8. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Ah i see what is the meaning of the flag?
  9. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    The numbers aren't accurate, as No. 10 Group RAF (Brand) is completely ignored. As to the actual scenario, as has been mentioned a few times, if Britain calls it quits, Stalin will recognise the buildup for what it is, and react accordingly, so the Soviets aren't caught with their pants down.

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    As you guys can probably guess cricket is pretty popular ittl, and baseball takes a very large backseat.
  11. Arab Teutonic Style Rule in India?

    Isnt that how they controlled the middle east in the first decades of the islamic expansion? Fortified fortress-towns for arab garrisons while the locals just pay tax?
  12. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Why ? [it's not hard to POD this ... instead of keeping their Pact secret, Hitler and Stalin leaks their deal over Poland ... France & Britain step back from the 'guarantee' to Poland when faced with declaring war on BOTH Hitler and Stalin ... EDIT why both ? because Hitlers and Stalins forces...
  13. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    Time. It would have taken time, that alone would have cost many lives (not just Japanese and allied soldiers but POWs, Chinese and other occupied peoples) before we even get into troops storming ashore etc, time that costs giga bucks, time that will allow the Russians to occupy more of Japan...
  14. WI: Rome does not conquer Gaul

    Instead of losing, Ceasar might invade pannonia if the governor of transalpine gaul hadn't died.

    A New Coat of Arms Thread

    Cool idea and a pretty cool design ! I would have smoothed out the edges a bit, though. It's possible if you use a paintbrush tool in Paint or GIMP or other software, rather than a pencil. The pencil tool creates a hard edge, the paintbrush creates an edge you can smooth out into a neat...
  16. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    Many people resented the Jews, Germany was in a bad, bad place due to Versailles, here comes Mr Mustache Man promising to heal Germany and create a solution to the "Jewish Problem"... That, and he was just a natural orator... not really shocking why he went placesm
  17. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Couldn't the far-right form a coalition like the Spanish nationalists did? Perhaps under someone like Petain? They had a lot of the top generals on their side along with the Catholic population. I could picture Blum starting out in charge but he may well lose control of things (just as the...
  18. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    Wouldn't the well-entrenched left be more resistant to a far-right takeover? Also I would expect the right to be revanchist toward Germany (unless defeatists like Petain prevail).

    Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    A right-wing nationalist France more focused on "civilizing" (read: ramming French culture down the throats of their colonial subjects) their (remaining) colonies than revanchism?
  20. WI: Rome does not conquer Gaul

    Caesar losing to the Gauls (Probably at Avaricum rather than Alesia though both are doable) probably means the death/enslavement of many of his soldiers and his death. The republic putters on for a few more decades. For Rome, it could be a slow death as ambitious generals try to vie for power...
