  1. Regarding French India

    The french came up with the system of princely state allies iirc. So they had direct control over some coastal trading posts and local allies controlling the major regions.
  2. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I assume the bullet must have hit something and ignited it since those things are full of oxygen it cooked the poor cosmonaut up from the inside. Think I say a Mythbusters where they showed a dummy do something similar in a seal cockpit. On another note, I'm not in the military but I would...

    Regarding French India

    I have been researching a bit of Indian history to support the TL I'm writing, and I'm finding difficult to find much about the French enterprises there, and I always find the same map and not much details about it. Has you can see in the French control is marked by the green dash and dot...

    ooooh! snazzy!
  5. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    Oh certainly by the time they were flying the Gloster test aircraft the AM had sat up and finally taken interest in his work What I am talking about is the earlier period when by contrast his work was not supported and in fact officially criticised resulting in the private backers not backing...

    The Forge of Weyland

    Noooo, Corinthian leather.
  7. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    There is a way for the KM to not build destroyers and still have an efectivve fighting force, but it rests on nomenclature. The KNMrated their small destroyers as FTB (Fleet Torpedo Boats). The mid war FTB Type 1939 was a good vessel that could have been built earlier. If the KM avoids the...
  8. FRG withdraws from NATO

    That was my point. I wasn't sure if the occupation formally had ended, but I thought there were some limits to what the German government would be allowed to decide. It looks like indeed it had ended up to a certain degree, but that it formally ended with the reunifaction of Germany in 1990...
  9. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Difficult but not impossible. Let's say that during the early to mid '70s the DKP (German Communist Party) manages to establish itself as the left-wing alternative to the SPD (winning, say, 5% to 6% of the votes on average). The NATO Double-Track Decision would still prove to be very...
  10. The camp David Accords fail

    But the longer Israel keeps the Sinai Peninsula the harder it will get them out of there as in OTL, Israel had to remove Israeli settlers who had already move there, some with force.
  11. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Even more fun (for some definition of fun), a single world (not sure which way) with the *losers* from each world in it. (UK,FR,RU from this TL, Germany, AH and OE from OTL. Not sure where to get Italy from)

  13. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Kind of, I mean yes they espoused that a bit but it was all pretty much in the "what happens after we win" authors notes, plus in the 60's and 70's it gives you a bit of street cred when it come to hob-knobbing with other terrorist groups / support networks of the day and trying to cache in...

  15. The camp David Accords fail

    Inevitably there would've been another war had Israel not returned Sinai. By means of bold peacemaking, Sadat avoided it. Had he been assassinated or overthrown before the peace process got underway, things might've turned out much differently.

    Look at the name of this story and you'd understand. Marc A
  17. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Umm, yes, it's exactly the issue == the thread is 'What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?' .. (which I'm taking to mean capitol ships), so plenty of resources .. Before the start of war OTL, the Kriegsamarine sortied 70%+ of their boats ... i.e. they are NOT limited to 1/3rd before war...
