  1. What happened if indonesia become a monarchy?

    In my hopinion it would work nicely, better then the republic did.
  2. AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    What was the real disaster was that the merger of the RNAS and RFC took all the air minded career officers away from the RN. All the hard earned experience of what was the most efficient and innovative military air service in the world was lost with the stroke of a pen in 1918. After that all...
  3. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    Germany does have interests in Russia's eastern european holdings - Ukraine, for instance - and if they stay allied with Russia, they're going to need to find somewhere else to put those interests. Which means they'll start aiming in the direction of the Balkans anyway, even if not that far.
  4. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Its actually a little more unclear than this. For starters the ship in question was a Kreigsmarine auxiliary carrying British POW's, so the Norwegians should have actually interred her or forced her out of Norwegian waters before the RN took her anyway. Basically no one supported Norwegian...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    As for no foresight of Japanese intentions: https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour/finest-hour-169/churchill-and-the-fall-of-singapore/ Includes the following (my emphasis): "During the last week in March 1941, as a result of Britain’s capability to read Japanese top-secret...
  6. When was the earliest plausible timeframe for electric vehicles to attain relatively widespread use in a major country?

    I am sorry but the technology is not there before now. Not for a practical car. Even today the electric cars are relatively short ranged. Don’t try to take one from Detroit to Florida.... They are good around town cars (where most folks drive most of the time). But even today long haul is...
  7. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    The Low Countries Caught again between two European Great Powers, and both relying on their neutrality, were Belgium thought it was protected with the treaty of 1839. Although the war of 1870 showed this neutrality could be difficult to enforce. Lessons were learnt form this war and large...
  8. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I suspect it formed as a result of an ATL Voortrek, and managed to remain independent.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Oh man, he's going to be so amazingly cursed. It's going to be fascinating to watch/play as him.
  10. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    This is OTL. The illegalist current of anarchist thought included bank robbers and extortionists who used the proceeds of their crimes to fund the cause and for various projects (this wasn't limited to anarchists; Stalin spent a few years robbing banks in the Russian Empire to fund the Bolsheviks).

    For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    I still don't think a Turkish majority 'pontus' and Armenia here is going 5o be sustainable for long. They were around 70 percent of the population in the areas depicted in the map. That would require killing around 5 million Turks and Kurds to make the lands actually pontic and Armenian majority.
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The reason for the collapse in Malaya was nothing to do with the quality of size of the British ground forces. While a better equipped and better led ground force could have inflicted more Japanese casualties any defence was doomed because Malaya is an island peninsular with no land link to...
  13. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Kennedy's public dismissal of LaMay is also a way to punish him for very publicly undermining him during the period of extreme global tension that occurred in October of 1962.
  14. Pop-culture of the Kaiserreich

    Also who would she create stuff for. One of her creation helped lead to the internet in OTL.
  15. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    It was too late to get the USSR after Stalingrad, if it was possible at all. Any agreement would be highly unpopular as all those deaths would be for nothing and everyone knew any treaty with Hitler wasn't worth the paper it was written on. There is no way in hell the Soviets would agree to...
  16. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Thinking about the world post war, where would the US and the Entente be most likely be on different sides on a proxy war? Persia? China?

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Oooooh. So does this mean the South African Federation was a Dutch colony all the way through to independence? Interesting.
  18. BELFAST

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I think Scottish regiments might be suspect too.
  19. AHC: The world today looks like this 1962 prediction

    I wonder if those vehicles are supposed to represent pedestrians going faster, OR drivers with more privacy.
  20. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Welcome on board, ex-lurker ;) A successful 1848 (which is very much in the cards ITTL) would be a true game changer for Italy: it would be achieved by Italians on their own, it is likely to settle at a stroke all the border issues which plagued Italy after unifications (no irredenta ITTL)...
