  1. Lusitania

    A Lusophone World
    Threadmarks: 1960 - World - Uruguay & Paraguay

    1960 – 1969 World (cont.) Uruguay and Paraguay Uruguay Uruguay reached the peak of its economic prosperity thanks to the Second World War and the Korean War, when it reached the highest per capita income in Latin America. The country supplied beef, wool and leather to the Allied armies. In...
  2. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Again, what is that stuff really worth? A car is not just a car. What would have been the free market price of the typical 1973 Soviet car in New York? What about the typical free market price of the typical 1972 Soviet dishwasher in London? What about the typical 1971 soviet clothes dryer in...
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I would have Carton de Wiart in charge of training. By the time troops had been through a scheme designed by him, there would be a few less of them, but the rest would scare the Japanese rather than the other way round. Either Auchinleck or Montgomery as Malaya command, with Percival as Chief of...
  4. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    Range (without declaring the conditions) seems to be 8 km - not much of a BVR missile, but certainly more useful against the incoming targets than that was the case with the chase-only AA-2 versions.

    I guess you know that the climate pattern you envisioned for southwestern America is not plausible? Since it's alt-geo, I know it's already fantastical, but are you looking for suspension of disbelief on multiple levels or are you trying to stick to climate realism with your alt-geo?

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Is there a population density map for the Worlda?
  7. AHC: 8 Wives for Henry VIII of England

    Think we can slot in 10+ in that much time.
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, what you're saying is that... -Danny Antonucci met and worked alongside Tex Avery. -Ed, Edd, n Eddy could very well be labelled as a Hanna-Barbera production instead of being A.K.A. Cartoon's magnum opus. -An earlier Nicktoons Network should be in the cards to incorporate both the old and...
  9. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Well, the problem with Arthur was that he was not a man at the time of Richard's death, he was a mere boy and Richard ultimately chose John, barons acclaimed this - so John was a rightful king (that was before EI's entail introducing male preference primogeniture), so Eleanor wasn't a rightful...
  10. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Tonnage sunk per U-Boat at sea per month continued to fall though out the war. That is regardless of most of the losses of merchant ships being loners. U-Boats were having a harder time finding targets. Aircraft were driving them further, and further from coastal areas, and out to the mid...

    AHC: 8 Wives for Henry VIII of England

    A POD in 1518 might work better. Katherine dies of her last miscarriage, the sweat gets her successor and that leaves you 19 years to slot in six more wives...

    There's a very thoroughly written but complicated history there revolving around the Koxinga, the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, and an Ottomanesque WW1 turn of events for northern China in the restoration of the Ming. I won't be able to get into that now. It will come out in the map plate...

    WI: Japan never modernizes

    I would think Russia would be Japan's main problem in the first instance. It's already encroaching in Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, and it wouldn't be too much of a step to having a look at Hokkaido if Japan's resistance is minimal.
  14. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Oof. That's a proper mess. But at least they all have -1929 after their names, which gives hope that something happens that will return peace.

    Mario Goes Hollywood: A Collaborative Timeline

    Honestly, it's definitely a silly spectacle film and while it won't ever be seen as a masterpiece, I can see videos talking about how it's a "loving tribute to the sillier side of 80s action films" what with the cyborg dog and the aliens being mostly practical effects (there's probably some CG...
  16. Map Thread XX

    Bad idea. What they wanted to archieve, colonize the dried sea floors like the Atlantropa project?
  17. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Finally, some sourcing that the pricing issue exists. Progress! Unfortunately for you, none of your links suggest that academia has been unable to factor for it in their examination of Soviet materials. Indeed, the wikipedia article offers a list of methodologies which are well-regarded as...

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

    On the subject of market values for Soviet goods, back in the 70s and 80s new Ladas cost ~25% less than comparable compact cars on offer in Canada (largely due to quality difference). Which gave them a brief bit of success in the "cheapest car on the market" niche, until then the Pony came...

    Techically, HB already had a Toronto office IOTL under the name of Canimage Production: http://www.alivingdog.com/Antonucci_.html
  20. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Would a mercantile China allow this? I have a sneaking suspicion that Japan's fate will be closely tied up with China's growing power, so the religious speculation should also take that into account. Maybe Muslims in the Chinese court manage to get Chinese backing for their trade in Japan...
