  1. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    True. What I meant to ask was, whether any potential social unrest/civil war/coup would occur in the 1930's and what it might look like. Perhaps an escalated Feb 6 incident? The anti-clericalism was certainly a problem, but I don't know that they all opposed having state control of the economy...
  2. Explain the AH Quote

    Quote by the Duke of Wellington in 1812, upon seeing the rabble that formed much of the Royal Army of the British Empire in the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic War. These soldiers were often low-quality because the British Parliament had low hopes for the Peninsular campaign at first...
  3. If Song China industrialized would Europe have remained a backwater?

    Indeed, but in the long run the Chinese population might be substantially lower than OTL, given an early demographic transition and the skipping-out on of New World crops. China may end up with a population of only 800m-900m... If it can leverage it's massive population with industrialized...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Think you might be safe. I'm definitely not, I just put his favourite person on the entire planet in the White House :p Mind if I take the Camp David idea? I do wonder if that would really be a concern ITTL? Nixon's only AG here, a far less nationally prominent spot than VP, and he'd only be...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    This film sounds like a bit of a fun romp, one of those movies I would have watched and probably enjoyed as much as the Goonies. Alice Cooper as the devil is a nice touch. Hope Barrymore is able to hold off her own demons after this. I hope Hocus Pocus gets remembered come Award season! Nice...
  6. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Yeah, I was really split between the two. Both are really interesting options that have so much potential. I ultimately voted for Renata because I thought that was the more realistic option (I didn't think a reformer would hold as much sway considering the economic success of East Germany at the...
  7. How long can Germany delay defeat without allied use of nuclear bombs still at least 1950s

    Not doing barbarossa extends it for well decades (Stalin isn't the type to start something that isn't guaranteed). Winning against the Soviets probably extends it for a good while too (a victorious Germany will be very weakened and the nazis probably quite unpopular even with a victory)...
  8. Defeat in WWI: Will France go radical or not?

    I was definitely thinking a later CP victory. Though wouldn't this prolonged and pointless war help discredit revanchism to some extent? That could prevent the "stab in the back" myth from gaining traction.

  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Kangaroos are a) native to australia, while cows aren't b) kangaroo feet have a much lower ground pressure, and don't churn up the land as much as cattle hooves. c) provide a lean, tasty, higher quality meat than cattle, as well as the leather. Why farming kangaroos isn't more of a thing, I...

  17. Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    So the Allies and that will mostly be the Americans will send in hundreds of thousands of troops into battle when the Japanese are willing to unconditional surrender, that makes no sense, the Americans now have to occupy Japan not with peacefully landing there as they did in OTL, but with blood...

    Allies reject Japan’s peace offer

    See below: This. It was the Allies - MacArthur specifically - who decided that keeping the Emperor on would reconcile Japan to the way things would be going ahead. Which...honestly, all things considered, seems to have been the right call.
