  1. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    ...things end up as cliche for a reason! And nationalist pressures within Austria-Hungary and extremist movements in France both have ample precedents *before* the war, so I don't think it's a stretch to anticipate them continuing and gaining strength in the aftermath of a defeat. You're right...
  2. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    11 Essex class carriers were on order on December 7, 1941. The F6F Hellcat was ordered on June 30, 1941 and the prototype TBF Avenger was already flying on that date.
  3. Soviets beat Northrop with F-20 idea?

    But what role will this fighter perform? and mig23 production ramping up Why not produce another 800 or so M/ML? Or more mig21bis with upgraded engine and BVR missiles

    the commissioner found out the muslim league was being backed by the soviets. this enraged the british, who punished them severely -Oversimplified Productions this looks fantastic, and is actually fantastic. however, unfortunately india is incorrect, and indochina changed hands from japanese to...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Ah, I gotcha now :) I am still a bit leery of adding anything too 'extreme' into the TL... no small part of my motivation for writing the whole 'Mac is President' part of it is to show a more reasonable side to the man outside of all the 'nuclear spam' and 'complete idiot' tropes that are...

    WI: Ford Motor Company buys 'Austin Rover Group' in 1986 - 1987?

    I'm sure it would be as well handled as OTL Jaguar :'(

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Ironically, I was born exactly a week after the change would've happened in the series. The Change happened on March 17 while I was born on March 24 of 1998.
  8. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    I doubt any of the countries listed would move to heavier guns than they did, because none of them have a need to drop a heavy shell right on top of a bunker at a range surpassing lighter-caliber artillery, which was the reason the Mark 71 was developed to begin with. The only place they'd run...

    WI Operation Ten-Go Successful?

    He's been and gone, we will be spared.

    You do now mentioning two Alaska in a sentence will get a bear involve.

    AHC: 8 Wives for Henry VIII of England

    With a POD in 1536, give Henry VIII 8 wives! Henry VIII will die in 1547, as per OTL. Bonus points if you can include some of his prospective wives from OTL and get Henry VIII to have more children than IOTL!
  12. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    ...1939. However, they did order 9 capital ships. They ordered Battleships H & J on 14th April 1939 which they were entitled to do under the AGNA* which was still in force. The Agreement was denounced on 28th April 1939 which allowed them to order Battleships K, L, M &N on 25th May 1939 and...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I can see a chain reaction where Beaker gets electrocuted, the others laugh, then Dr. H. gets zapped and Beaker and Prof. L. laugh, then Prof. L. gets zapped and the other two laugh, and then the cycle repeats itself over and over as the credits roll.
  14. Have Space 1999 be more successful

    No. It really isn't good at all. Here's a BBC documentary called 'Do We Really Need the Moon?' Short answer to save you from watching it (although it's very good): yes. Yes, we do. Very much so.
  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I'll certainly watch whatever they put out and likely enjoy it. But honestly I'd be just as happy if they move things along at a faster pace. We know they've got at least one more season, but no promise of more yet. Hopefully we'll make it to six seasons and a movie, but who knows? If it is...
  16. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    It is quite a stretch to characterize Wake and Guam as threatening anything. Even the Philippines were quite weak. 35 B-17 bombers, three cruisers, 13 destroyers and 24 submarines (with defective torpedoes, although the Japanese didn't know that until they failed in battle) would not seriously...
  17. Better 20th Century for France?

    Its very hard to say. It's a lot easier to do if other things go in France's favour but much harder to pin down the date. If France fights WW2 its very difficult to see them ever choosing to do it. If France successfully avoids WW2 they can do it depending on butterflies somewhere later 40s...
  18. AHC: Romance languages disappear

    Romanians were pastoralists. Their lifestyle changed so much that they lost the entire vocabulary dedicated to city life. Even the word for city was forgotten and had to be borrowed from Hungarian (Romanian has oraș, all other Romance language have a descendant of civitas as the word for city)...

    1. black people in the SSA are better off than OTL USA in this 1950, but considering everybody's living under a dictatorship, that isn't saying much 2. pre SSA mixed race couples and marriages are seen as totally fine by the regime, but other interracial mixes aren't seen as prestigious as...
  20. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I think it's plausible, but highly optimistic. Or at least, it will require an extremely significant investment in both reform and counterinsurgency efforts. Bosnia was never fully integrated (Princip himself was Bosnian!) and this is going to lead to a much larger Serbian population in the...
