  1. WI: Free Italy - a.k.a. Kingdom of Italy in exile as an Allied nation

    Well i understand and things as morale are difficult to quantify, frankly Italy is the invaded party and it's a defensive war against Germans so morale and determination will be high on the other hand the Jugoslavian are neither suited, equipped or extensively trained for this type of offensive...

  4. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Almost ironically- economics as a discipline was disdained in the Soviet Union, particularly by central planners. Their perennial idea of "make prices align with reality" was dismissed by the very planners who you somehow imagine to be the same people.

    Part of the Malaya problem was the lack of what is now described as Joint ops. The RAF was told they needed to defend Malaya by air. Singapore to the likely landing beaches was too far for the aircraft of the day. So the RAF sensibly built new airfields closer to the beaches. What did not happen...
  6. "Hey, That's An Imitatable Act!"

    POD: August 1914 A Sorbian nationalist assassinates Wilhelm, Crown Prince of Germany, as he is on his way to take up titular command of the German 5th Army. Effects? Maybe the anti-Sorbian reaction in the Kaiserreich politicizes the Sorbian population more than OTL...
  7. Why not cut off Gallipoli?

    The RN charts were not good enough for this area and a surveying effort would alert the defences, not that they weren’t alert!

    It would greatly slow things down and 'dampen' the effectiveness of airpower and if the Japanese can be held in Malaya - might possibly also result in the colony not falling but that's a big ask - however given how logistically weak the Japanese were at the end how much worse off would they be...

    Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    I think you forgot that the Japanese and German nuclear weapons programs miraculously come to fruition in 1944 at the latest.

    Here are the results to the most recent election: The body of the poll for it contains links to all the others: Admittedly, I've taken some creative liberties. I was thinking of posting them here as a timeline, maybe with more detail, do you think that would be of interest to some people?
  11. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    You do realize that company actually defaulted on the Russian collapse post-USSR, right? They weren't trying to price derivatives on a regulated and established exchange, which is what they were famous for and what their formulas are still used for. I'm not entirely sure you understand all of...
  12. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    I agree with you a lot of people drank the strategic bomber Kool Aide. In a different context FDR won the war when he insisted on shifting B-24/PBY-4 units to address teh Atlantic air cover gap. Still by 1941/1942 the limitations of the heavy bomber were, or at least should have been obvious...
  13. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    ...I feel Williams's data is thoroughly unconvincing as he overestimated the scale of the profits taken from slavery, as shown by Engerman's rebuttal*; and he failed to account for how investments that would have gone into industrialisation instead went to slavery, an oversight that should have...

  15. DBWI: J.D. Salinger Stops Writing after “Catcher in the Rye.”

    I don't know why you say that Right Turn is as acclaimed as Catcher as are a number of other books such as The Last Man in the Hi You Diner which was about a convicted felon who worked in a Diner that was going bankrupt and committed suicide because that was the only job he could find and he...
  16. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    How long would 300 B-17E/F, couple hundred B-25s, 112 A-24s, 3-400 P-40s and 200 P-38Fs last? On airbases defended with 90mm M2 AAA with ranging and raid warning from SCR-268 radars. With regular replacement via Guam (with the 1st Marine Division in garrison) and Wake (with two full Marine...

    WI Nazis overthrown from within ?

    How would history view WW2 and Nazi Germany if, instead of being defeated by the allies, Hitler and the NSDAP had been overthrown by the Germans themselves? Let's say the POD is that Operation Valkyrie is successful, Hitler is killed by the bomb, and in the aftermath the army succesfully disarms...

    So if the British can delay the fall of Singapore until April, there's going to be no advance in Burma until nearly the end of the year? That should give the British a major advantage.
  20. Middle East without Christianity or Islam

    The Turks were already adopting the religions of every group they were in contact with. Confucianism, Buddhism, or Zoroastrianism, the Turks had no issues with switching religions if it suited them. They would most likely go native.
