  1. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter 128: Woofferton

    Chapter 128: Woofferton August, 1460 Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick looked up from the map as he heard footsteps. “Well?” He asked. “Six hundred men, all told, Sir.” His cousin Sir Henry Neville said. “Buckingham?” Richard asked. “At the forefront, Sir.” Henry answered. Richard...

    Alternate warships of nations

    We're poking along at Navalism.org in a similar way (albeit we're at 1916 right now).
  3. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    It's not questionable. Given that a lot of countries nowadays have survived without expansionism, that theory is completely debunked. That being said however, as Kylia said, back then, expansionism and conquests were on a the minds of many, the idea that their countries should be that "empire...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    I‘d hate to sound insensitive or morbid but I’ve just updated my older wikibox regarding the late Duke of Edinburgh

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    And considering Stirling is stated to be even worse than Thatcher, that probably says a lot about his regime.
  6. Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    So China is now under a new dynasty...I find that to be very fascinating.
  7. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    If you had read my post till the end, you'd know that this isn't true. I quoted two scientific works that prove you wrong. Which doesn't refute my point in any way... And that's flat-out wrong.
  8. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Chernov's assassination and the political crisis it causes in the Savinkov's government if anything is a nice parallel with Matteotti's murder.

    People wanting to join a Union, rather than be required to join.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    This is something i'd really like highlighted. Even the best Collab routes are going to be horrible for a lot of people.
  11. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Both the U.S. and Soviets more or less flirted with the idea that a nuclear exchange would not really be the end of the world throughout the Cold War--in the case of the United States they called it the "broken back" scenario, while the Soviets were never as fatalistic about nuclear war as the...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Worth noting he's not released yet and stuff can change. Also QOL might be better under him than Thatcher (narrowly) but Thatcher comes ahead in some areas. Having looked at the issue a few times i'd actually say Thatcher's controlled democracy (as opposed to the outright rigged one) is actually...
  13. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    I didn't say Germany couldn't survive without expansionism (but expansionism was pretty much on everyone's mind constantly back then), but if you don't think there were Germans who hungrily eyed Ukraine and the resources of Eastern Europe even in the late 1800s, you'd be wrong.
  14. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Well Mary Talbot will make for an interesting Queen to say the least... I am sure that she won't irritate half the lords of the realm.. Fantastic chapter!

    indeed. Though he probably will take refuge somewhere in europe.
  16. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    It was Richard the second how made Edmund of Langley Duke of York he was the first Duke of York then it was his son Edward who died at Ashton court and finally we have Richard III Duke of York whose father was Richard of Cambridge.
  17. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Overly simplistic - there were a mass of conflicting interests among the Soviet "elite" - most wanted to simply continue as they were. Some could see how to take advantages of the changes that they could see were coming.
  18. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Just No. Planning may work for capital investment in factories. It does not work well for consumer goods where demand is uncertain. I worked in the Former Soviet Union in the early 90s, and saw a lot of the hangover of the USSR. In 1992 there was 1 foreign owned supermarket in Moscow which...

    It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Really hard to say with any degree of finality what they would opt for tbh. Remember that while we know how the OTL campaign against France went, no one in 1939 had any idea, not even Hitler, who OTL was contemplating a very long war in the West. And it's a place where Germany's new allies...
