    AHC: No Zoroastrianism (POD of 600 BC)

    Perhaps the most plausible answer is a continued emphasis, or perhaps re-emphasis, of Mihr? There'd be a similar divergence of beliefs as OTL, but in different directions - Mihr as a god of war and covenants, Mihr reinterpreted in a millenarian sort of way, all sort of different explanations...
  2. AHC Wi Scotland independent by 1980

    In 1914 there was a Scottish Home Rule Bill that would have set up a Scottish Parliament with similar powers to the proposed all-Ireland model. IF that could have been revived in 1920 and established like Stormont in 1921, then Scotland would have been largely self governing for fifty years...
  3. FYI : about Ludwig Beck on "East First 1914"

    I put 'Plan Beck' on the map! The western front:
  4. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    What I really like about this TL is how unpredictable everything is. I really do not know if the Soviets will be able to hold the Germans alone.

    The Reform Party: 20 Years of History

    That has to hurt the Democrats in ways not once possible in the past. Not even Cities are safe for them now. First DC and now this?
  6. How far does Communism spread if the US is disinterested?

    If the US had decided in the early stages of the Cold War that Communism is just a fad that will fade within a few generations and fail to create wealthy societies or a new man, and that even if the number of Communist countries greatly increase many of them will turn on each other over...
  7. AHC: No Zoroastrianism (POD of 600 BC)

    Well you may be correct actually, and John7755 does know more than me on the issue, but in the end, it still relates to the question. The rise of the Achaemenid, Alexander, and Parthian Empire's were largely events outside of the development of Zoroastrianism. I do still think the Ascarids as...
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Well, WB bought the rights to Speed Racer roughly five years ago, so that could work for an attraction and/or stunt show. However, if they should have to get a licensing deal, I'd hope for Henson to be the company to do it.
  9. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    First they must deploy the super maid. 😁
  10. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Okay. I could be super technical and point out that the Soviets had annexed the territory on March 13th, 1940, but your point is taken.
  11. WI: Franklin Pierce wins the 1864 Democratic nomination?

    I think he'd do much worse, given his reputation. This might free up Little Mac to be the Democratic nominee in 1868 or beyond, though! He did continue his political career post-1864 even in OTL, after all.
  12. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    If Progress City Detroit (Motor City or whatever it's called) is successful, then I feel like Warner Bros. should build a theme park in suburban Detroit. However, WB only has the Looney Tunes characters. Would it be possible for Warner Bros. to license from News Corp. (Miramax), Henson...

    AHC: No Zoroastrianism (POD of 600 BC)

    How does this square with the evident power of the Zoroastrian clergy during the Sassanian era? The campaigns of iconoclasm and persecutions of minority religions clash with the vision of a marginal Zoroastrianism. I fully recognize that Mazdaism within Iran was complex and varied, but I'd be...
  14. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    What was the take off and landing distance of the Shark, particularly the Pegasus powered version?
  15. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    There is really nothing the Republic could do. As was/is the case with most small countries it really comes down to "beans or bullets". There simply isn't enough income to have both. It was particularly an issue in early 70s Ireland (and the UK for that matter) where the economy was anything but...
  16. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    When Serbia becomes an independent state again, the pre-war situation will return. The Black Hand returns, nationalism remains and hatred against Austria-Hungary has only grown. After all, Serbia has lost 2/3 of its territory. This Serbia will continue to try to destabilize Bosnia. When...
  17. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    I know, we deployed special forces there in the end of the cold war (and learned a lot about degrees of cold, for example that there is antifreeze and then there is artic grade antifreeze.) I was talking about a pre winter war scenario before their annexed Finish territory.
  18. 2018 Presidential Election

    Don't think to hard!!
  19. Wi,: Senones capture Rome 387 BC

    Honestly, that era is so shrouded in myth its impossible to say. Roman history didn't become very reliable until the Punic Wars, and even that period is not nearly as well-documented as the 1st century BC and onwards. There are examples of Gallic settled towns in Italy though, like Senigallia.
