  1. Pyrkal Machine Gun: A Few Years Early

    So I just stumbled across this project from 1938 to create a cartridge with a power less than a rifle but greater than a handgun and put it into an automatic firearm. Seems forward-thinking to me! The cartridge was 7.92x36mm, and a little bit lower muzzle velocity than the postwar assault...
  2. BELFAST

    Confederate Victory

    The USA is a lot smaller and more concerned with internal matters. There might not be any US involvement in WW1 or the war that followed it. Lincoln in his Gettysburg address seems to me imply that a divided America between the USA and CSA would lead to the failure of government by the people...

    Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Again, Tommy Gun Thompson is a moniker and is not OTL Governor Tommy Thompson, who ITTL never made it to governor. Anyway, Mike Leavitt is an interesting political figure. Maybe he'll run; we shall see! I'll cover that in either 2017 or 2018

    American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    Oh, also... On a slightly more light note with regards to this... Without Goldwater and such, we probably may never get this classic C-SPAN moment with Pat Buchanan, which I honestly can't stop laughing at. Gotta admit, the guy has a good sense of humor.
  5. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    On top of this even if Germany won the BoB it changes nothing. Germany was planning on using tug boats to transport its soldiers for s******. All the Royal Navy has To do was create waves and it sinks the invading force before it ever gets on GBs soil.
  6. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    I know what Z-list figure we could see as a Presidential candidate ITTL. Monica Lewinsky is a good idea, but what about Mike Leavitt, OTL Secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush. Considering that it would be better than what his predecessor is doing (TTL's answer to...
  7. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    That is not at all modern historical consensus. In reality, the Luftwaffe was in a losing stalemate with RAF Fighter Command when Berlin was bombed. The heroic narrative is that Fighter Command was on its last legs by September, and only the last minute shift by the Luftwaffe to bombing London...

    AHC: Largest possible Finnish-American population

    A cheat: have the Russian authorities forcibly move Finns to Russian Alaska, then on-sell Alaska to the USA.
  9. The Tudor Rose over Brittania
    Threadmarks: Tudor Rose over Britannia Chapter 12

    Henry grinned as he saw Margaret and Edmund walk together in the yard of Newcastle, with his wife Madeleine smiling and talking with them. Whatever Madeleine had said must have done the trick, as his oldest sister and younger brother were truly getting to know each after not seeing each other...
  10. WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    Ok so ignoring the sea mammal aspect of this. So is this a lend leased USSR or one going at it alone? Lend leased USSR- defeats Germany and marches to Berlin sometime in late 1946. Germany lacked the logidujcs, resources, and manpower to defeat a LL USSR. The Soviet Union prolly suffers an...
  11. AHC/WI: land focused Netherlands

    If it's poorer, how does it dominate the wealthier regions? Frisian armies OTL achieved their best results on the defensive, if they try and invade the cities have walls and the money for lots of artillery and mercenaries.

    WI: Byzantine Emperor converts to Islam?

    (1) Pagan Rome wasn't fighting a desperate struggle against a powerful Christian Empire at the time of Constantine's conversion. (2) Fourth century Paganism was much less organisationally and doctrinally rigid than eighth century Christianity. We're talking a Christianity that had been through...

    WWII: German Victory in Battle of Britain, could USSR win alone?

    OK but my point is who would win the 1v1 Germany or USSR

    Perhaps not but right-wing parties might try scare people so much that it vote against leaving of NATO.

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    The Ravens, who also operated in SE Asia during the same time period. The USAAF pilots who flew for the RAF during the BoB. As well as a number of covert operations along these lines. The only time it really blew up in the CIA's face was in the 80's when missile sales to a sworn adversary and...
  17. FRG withdraws from NATO

    Is there a final post 1945 settlement in your time line or do the US, France, UK and the Soviets keep their historical residual powers ?

    AHC: Largest possible Finnish-American population

    Given that American mandates in Europe were at least briefly considered in the aftermath of the First World War (most prominently, Wilsonian Armenia), what might it take to do this with Finland?
