    American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    Plenty of potential paths. Christian Democracy, American Pim Fourtynism, "Democrats but less so/slower", vague 'right-wing populism', formerly racist now modified to being anti-immigration new dealism, euro-style market liberalism, etc

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    it kinda would. Britain was going through mild shortages after 4 years of war. Germany had a famine going on. Germany was just as exhausted to come to the negotiating table as Britain was.
  3. Anybody else read Summerland?

    In the book souls have two components: luz, the actual indestructible bit that falls as ingots from the Unseen, and memories, which get tangled around the luz when they get stuck in human brains at birth. On death the souls fall again into a lower dimension called Summerland, where they exist as...
  4. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    That's a cliche in itself, that where armies were on the ground in Africa made the slightest difference if the CP won. It would only matter where armies were on the ground in Europe, if the Germans were on the Pas de Calais and Cherbourg peninsula Britain holding SW Africa won't make any...
  5. How long can Germany delay defeat without allied use of nuclear bombs still at least 1950s

    (edited to try to clarify) Rommel conquers the Nile delta in the early summer of 1942, due to whatever it is which Germany does differently (Rommel wins what was in original timeline first El Alamein?); British lose Malta (edit: cannot resupply or relieve it and it falls) and all credibility...
  6. what if the vikings went to china

    there are two options, go around Africa or drag the ships over land (which could be done, and was done)
  7. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    IOTL Modrow was pretty conservative tho (he even ordered the police and Stasi to squash pro-unification protests). Anyway, would the SED leadership be content if Renata becomes leader? Communist countries aren’t really used to having female heads of state, as far as I know
  8. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    Maybe an Indonesia without Suharto? Or a communist Greece with the KKE winning the civil war?
  9. what if the vikings went to china

    Sailing to Asia directly is a no go unless they can come up with the technology or the logistical bases to do so.
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Probably a typo.
  11. what if the vikings went to china

    I can imagine there being plenty of islands that would be easy targets
  12. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    That's an interesting proposition; 'No Marshall Plan'. Now, a lot of people say that this would mean a Communist W Europe. I don't - at least not by default. Generally speaking, even in the direct aftermath of the Second World War their general SoL was higher than what was found in the USSR...
  13. Arab Teutonic Style Rule in India?

    I dont mean it in the sense of a monastic order, more in the sense of the Teutons being a warrior class lording over subjugated lands and having massive cultural impact on them

    Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    a few years more or less. 10,000 pounds is around the total cost per person today in britain per year, back then, it would be good for some 4 to 7 years.
  15. what if the vikings went to china

    He'd probably last a little longer than Franklin did. Emphasis on "a little."
  16. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    Stalin pretty explicitly told some East German communists during the winter of 1945/46 that he expected the US would withdraw all of it's troops from Europe and he'd follow that by seizing control of their occupation zone and from there undermine the Anglo-French ones. So Germany, most...
  17. what if the vikings went to china

    What about the rest of Asia?

    WI Man in the High Castle with Surviving Soviet Union?

    What about the 1960s? Assuming MitHC levels of development of course..
  19. what if the vikings went to china

    true but what about the rest of Asia?
  20. DBWI: MLBs Reserve Clause Ended earlier

    Mike Trout was signed to a one year $1.7 million contract with the Dodgers. He complains that he is not getting paid enough due to the Reserve Clause. I heard that in 1975, a Mr. Seitz had almost overturned the RC. Now tell me, what would Baseball be like if the Reserve Clause was overturned?
