  1. AHC/WI: land focused Netherlands

    Possible , the Republic (assuming there still will be a republic) will not be ruled by a merchant elite from one city and one state who ever shadow all other cities and States. Territorial expansion, as strategical, defensive, purposes, was not in the interest of Holland and Amsterdam in...
  2. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Yep - and if Chamberlain is still PM after the fall of France what's the chance Hitler is able to convince him to sign another 'peace in our time' Treaty ??? OTL, after France fell, it was a VERY near run thing -- most of the cabinet opposed Churchill and only his speaches in the House...
  3. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    I think the American public was more supportive of the war, and the fight against Communism then people think it was. Today peoples memories are a bit foggy, because of subsequent events. People don't like to say they supported something that's unpopular today. In 1975 I couldn't find anyone who...
  4. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    OTL Norway resisted every effort to get them to declare on Wallies side, so no bases without force ... and no stopping the ore shipments without sinking neutral Norwegien ore ships .. Churchil was actually planning an INVASION of Norway (Hitler got in first) === this would NOT have gone down...

    AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    A Taurus would be more likely if the Albacore had been developed faster (and possibly the Beaufort land-based torpedo bomber too) However, like some other British Engines, the problem with the Taurus was the reliability of its initial production and the glacially slow response by Bristol in...
  7. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    problem here is that it would be fairly easy to set up ore mining elsewhere.
  8. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Plus it's only in winter that the Narvik route has to be used , so max loss is around a quarter of possible exports .. (if you ship 33% more durirg the spring/summer/autumn and none in winter you can still end up with the same total ...) ... and if Norway is neutral, WOULD the Royal Navy realy...

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

    Threadmarks: Chapter 22: Success and Setback

    Chapter 22: Success and Setback *** ‘To the victors of this war, their way of life will be vindicated. To those who lose, only revolutions fill their future.” – Emperor Franz Joseph in 1915. “The Russians began the month of June, 1915 with an attempt to reconquer the territories that...

    All of them had male suffrage at this point, and most of them for quite some time?

  14. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    I think the US gets most of its raw materials for steel from scrap rather than ore. I think that steel is too easy to come by to cartelise iron ore production. I did once see the suggestion to cartelise gold production, OGEC.

  16. Is an OPEC for iron ore unrealistic?

    Fairly unrealisitic I think. The fact that not every country produces iron ore doesn't mean that those countries that don't, don't have any, it just means it's less economic to produce it than to buy it.
  17. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    Oh whoops .... looks like more 'peace in our time' would be on the cards then ....
  18. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Marie (last day of holidays): "Boys? Sex? Babies? Ewww! Yuck!" Marie (first day of school): "I don't remember that boy looking so cute before. Hmm."
