  1. WI: Carthago non delenda est

    The problem is that in my view, if Carthage was a prosperous trading city with inclusive government would not have been allowed to be turned into a province. A poor Carthage away from the sea could have been turned into a province.

    WI: Japan never modernizes

    France's focus was on Africa and Indochina, they had nothing at the American end of the Trans-Pacific Route, so even if they tried to knock on Japan's door, Japan would be the end of trip...
  3. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    But this is the 1940's with D-notices and no 24 hour rolling news. As the full scale of Nazi's atrocities became apparent no one will object to the most brutally repressive tactics being used, not to mention that guerrilla movements rarely last long without an external source of support.
  4. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    In 1989 the Soviet Union's GDP amounted to 2.5 Trillion US Dollars. GDP per Capita amounted to 8.700 US Dollars. In 2013 the countries of the former Soviet Union had a combined GDP of 2.75 Trillion US Dollars. GDP per Capita amounted to 9.503 US Dollars. Between 1980 and 1985 the USSR's...
  5. Nothing to Lose but Your Chains! / a German Revolution TL

    Things get messy, but hopeful too... And, by the way, was there ever a regular update schedule or nah?
  6. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Do you mind disproving my arguments then?

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    While I loved that Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was on PBS the fact that it could have been a Disney production is interesting. I love the idea that Henson both supporting the show being on PBS and helping with the production.

    Threadmarks: Setraland: The Hreinings, Bolverk Arvidsson

    Bolverk Arvidsson (1045-1082) Bolverk Arvidsson, second Hreining King of Setraland, could not have been more unlike his father if he had tried. Had his grandfather still been alive, that aged conqueror would have found a kindred spirit in young Bolverk. Bold and brash and loving every manly...

  10. Would America have been better off trying to stop Communism in Laos and Cambodia rather than South Vietnam?

    The youth of america would be better off at home and listening to 60s music, really. Not to mention laos and cambodia did eat an awful lot of american ordinance, regardless.
  11. Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    1879 The Little War began in Cuba, the rebels would fight the Spanish once again. The Cubans would put up a fight against the great European power. Stephens began sending arms to the rebels in May. The Spanish King Alfonso XII soon found out the Confederacy supplying the Cuban rebels. Alfonso...

    AHC: 8 Wives for Henry VIII of England

    True, actually. Knowing him he’ll probably take a few mistresses in the off years.

    AHC: Make the Romansh Switzerland's dominant ethnic group

    Or push South East to Byzantine territory.
  14. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    The question is not whether it's easier to build than the MiG-23. It's whether it's harder to build than the MiG-21. That was the last and most sophisticated fighter Poland and Czechoslovaki built. Well, then that gets back to the problem of what the point of this is. A re-engined F-5 would get...
  15. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Monsieur Maurras might even get a look in.
  16. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I would like to point out that in military terms Astria was concentrating the majority of its armies to fight Russia. On the Serbian front they had inferior numbers I think and were supposed to defend - but Potiorek the idiot thought it better to attack using a plan which resulted in serbian...
  17. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Why was she rightful Queen? At that point England, didn't follow male-preference primogeniture and any source of claim acknowledged around that time - king's entail, baron's acclamation (remember who Matilda never was counted as a Queen) and proximity of blood spoke for Henry being the rightful...
  18. WI: Ford Motor Company buys 'Austin Rover Group' in 1986 - 1987?

    I certainly think it would have accelerated the Roverisation of ARG. The M cars would’ve died earlier and the Rover strategy accelerated so it could be Ford’s equivalent of the 80s Audi or of Volvo (which of course it eventually bought). The one spanner in the works is what Honda would think...
  19. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Yeah - and I think the form of anything to come out of this in France is somewhat unpredictable, but the key point will be that a defeat to Germany is going to really cause problems for the future of the Third Republic, and it's hard to see something more democratic or liberal arising in its...
