  1. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Most definitely

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    I mean it would be an excellent propaganda piece for York, and a wasted one if he didn't use it.

    What If...Scotland beat England in that Euro 2000 Play-Off?

    Maybe Scottish football starts to be taken more seriously (investment into infrastructure). Also, would success of Scotland NT reduce the religious tensions in the country? I'm a Celtic fan from Croatia, so I might have incorrect ideas on the situation.
  5. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Oh agreed, it's just adding to the febrile environment.
  6. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    NB. lets also remember that torpedo range (low speed) is around 9,000 yards to (high speed) 4,500 yards and ASDIC (sonar) range is around 1,000 yards ... also remember that the submarine can hear the asdic at more than double the 'echo' range ... (ships propellers can be heard from multiple...
  7. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    To late and to long a life. Kennedy's health was already failing during his presidency so the odds of him being healthy enough to run after about 1966 (and alive after 1980 at the latest) are very low. Also no connection to California (although Marilyn has lived there for many years) so real...

    WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    Indeed, the first settlers were indentured servants who partook in uprisings and social upheaval after their contracts were up, so much that slavery had to be introduced as an alternative. This is a rather interesting idea by Edmund Morgan, if you’d like to check it out. He calls it the American...
  9. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Why is this even on this forum? The question whether marxism & communism "can work" is no question for historians, but an ideological question.

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Oh I know realistically it's York's fault (if he was a real and rightful King, he'd be supporting Welles), but he's just going to blame Henry VI and what not.
  11. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    About the flag of Cabo, my own idea: yellow- green fields, maybe left/right like flag of Malta, as a symbol of dry and wet parts of Cabo/SA? With a coat of arms in the middle?
  12. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    I think it depends on who you support. If you're a Lancastrian, then this is York's fault, because he's done nothing to aid Welles. If you're a Yorkist then it's Welles and Henry's fault for not allowing Bourchier in.

    Uh oh. This is only going to make Henry VI looks worse! Hopefully a miracle occurs!

    WI/AHC: Independent European Colonization

    European colonialism is definitely not my strong suit, but my understanding is that most colonial expeditions were sanctioned by particular monarchs or states in order to see some sort of return: e.g. Cortes' conquest of the Aztec Empire was not undertaken by his conquistadors in order to...
  15. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    You are probably correct regarding the territorial expansion of Japan and the re-thinking of the British regarding their alliance with Japan. I only know that Germany had some warm business relations within China. I do not know how deep this relations were or that they were mere what they were...
  16. WI: Carthago non delenda est

    I don't think there was much of a Punic presence in the country beyond the southern/south-eastern coasts, so if the Peninsula is conquered by the Romans I think that Latin culture would become dominant as in OTL.
  17. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    What happens worldwide if the US starts shipping 8 inch guns? The RN started using the Mk8 4.5" gun from 1973 and eliminated it in 1980 with the Type 22s. Would they instead maybe revamp say the 6" gun used in the Lion, Tiger and Blake and fit it to the Type 22? Would the French go for...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 126: Calais

    Chapter 126: Calais July, 1460 “We have enough food to last us through the winter, Sir.” John Dynham, the treasurer of Calais said. “And the imports?” Sir Lionel Welles, Captain of Calais asked. “How badly affected are they?” “We’re running short by at least twenty percent, Sir.” Dynham...

    AHQ: Royal Navy carrier strike on Wilhelmshaven, 1939

    Do you know what the load on the Swordfish was? Did the RN have 1000lb bombs for them, which could be carried under the fuselage? These would be much better for attacking battleships in harbour. If that's not possible, I'd have the Swordfish carry three 500lb bombs; one under the fuselage and...
  20. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I hope ttl georg friedrich prince of prussia is a bit better then the otl equivalent who is just suing historians and wanting stuff back that the ddr took from him. I hope in ttl german politics will be a bit less corrupt and that lobyism isnt such a huge problem as it is now. I also kinda...
