  2. WI: Tupac Amaru II captures Cuzco, Spanish possessions in the Americas collapse decades earlier?

    So it'd be a realm stretching across the bulk of the Andes. That's neat. I don't think this Kingdom would be able to grab Chile though. My guess is they grab the Altioplano and link up with the Comuneros in New Granada, but Chile and the Rio de la Plata remain Spanish in the near-term. I'm...
  3. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    1. I was giving you credit for suggesting those in the PM's. 2. Fixed. 3. Alien Productions was the company that I think owned the ALF character back then. I wasn't sure if Ruby-Spears, MWS or DiC should be the collaborator on ALF.
  4. Explain the AH Quote

    Unidentified Russian police officer to American Associated Press journalist Brace Belden in 2014, stated just before arresting Belden for allegedly interfering with the police suppressing an anti-Putin demonstration. Belden would die in police custody, allegedly of a drug overdose but more...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Just have Sulu promoted and given his own ship? Then he can show up for cameos in the films when he rendezvous with the Enterprise for X reason- or saves their butts like in OTL Star Trek VI. Keeping Ilia around does give you a character the audience is familiar with, plus another woman, and...
  6. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    And everyone's just... going to be fine with this? Like, I imagine the Nazis, who are already chomping at the bit to kill as many Slavs as they can are going to have a slight issue with not doing a damn thing as the Soviets gain that much control over a resource they were lacking. The Nazis...

    If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    Plus in any war scenario American industrial potential would still far outstrip anything Germany could ever manage.
  8. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    The Great Depression did not destroy American industrial capacity, merely left it idle. The factories, the infrastcure and the trained minds/hands were still there, just unused.
  9. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    You have forget Petain's Vichy France and the USA war declartion against the commonwealth
  10. Sehzade Mahmud (Son of Mehmed III) Becomes Sultan

    was it possible that had Achmed - or Mahmud - lived longer, i.e. long enough for his son to become an adult, that the Ottomans might've brought in primogeniture instead of the sort of "tanistry" that they seemed to have going on? Or is that unlikely.
  11. AHC: An Irish Economic Miracle

    Not sure how some of that works out tbh. I mean you aren’t likely to have a larger merchant marine without either state subsidies or state involvement. Nor are you going to get the rural electrification and Ardnacrusha without the ESB being a semi-state entity for example. Trading with other...
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, I can certainly expect that some people ITTL will interpret it that way, though it would not be the creators' intent. Certainly the "banning Halloween" would play into that (here in the South there's a lot of anti-Halloween sentiment in some churches, with Jack Chick being famously...

    "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    This one scenario has been sticking in my mind for a while: Margaret Beaufort born a boy. The butterflies that POD would have.

    If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    I suppose it would be easier to significantly reduce American and Soviet industry. I.e a harder and longer depression in the US and less (or no) forced industrialization in the SU. But that of course would create a lot of butterflies, especially since the SU was Germany’s largest trading partner...
  16. RJ Mitchell does not get cancer

    The thing about a Supermarine designed naval fighter in the early war is that neither the Navy, nor the RAF actually controlled their own procurement. The air ministry, which is a separate, civilian organization did. This was passed over to the Ministry of Aircraft Production in May 1940, headed...
  17. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    The nailed the Italian cruiser Pola, and the battle ship Vitorio Veneto, damaging both and setting up the massacre of the Italian cruisers in the Battle of Cape Matapan.
  18. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    The only impediment to a Nazi-Commie alliance was Stalin/Russian fixation on control of the Bosporus. Hitler's crushing victory at Dunkirk would convince Stalin to compromise on the issue. Once Turkey can't expect British help Turkey will readily cave in to German and Russian pressure...
  19. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    Under the forum header it says this: What's your POD after 1900 to make Germany have parity with the allies? If you just handwave it, then it belongs in ASB.

    AHC: An Irish Economic Miracle

    I am not sure about a boom but Ireland could do a lot better. They would need to drop the policy of autarky/self-sufficiency and allow the ownership of business by foreigners. Adopt a zero tariffs policy and trade with as many nations as possible. No state subsites No trade war with the British...
