  1. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    I don't think its orientalism to suggest that regardless of the fact that the core of the empire was the balkans and anatolia, the empire was not European by any measure other than their participation in European politics. The core culture of the Ottomans was Turko-Persian, not Rumelian and...
  2. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    The message James Baker delivered to Iraq was quite clear "If you use WMD there will be a regime change. You will be eliminated." Now the unspoken corollary of that is that your regime has a chance to survive a conventional war. Saddam was a rationale man.
  3. American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    Franklin J. Cranston is the perfect candidate for what you're asking. As far as I know, there's no such person IOTL. However, with a POD in the first half of the 1800s, there's no reason for mid-20th century politicians to be drawn from the set of actually existing people, let alone people who...
  4. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I think pessimism about future of Native American peoples is very warranted. This thread really wants to be optimistic about various horrors being butterflied away, but I don't see much plausibility there. So far it's been confidently suggested that tragedies in Minnesota, Colorado, and New...
  5. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Doubt it , it wasn't better under Brezhnev or Khrushchev not talking Lenin or Stalin. If anything it was worse particularly under Brezhnev.
  6. Was the first Sino-Japanese war the last chance to save the Qing?

    One and only self bump because this scenario interests me
  7. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    There's another way, one that involves far less death and destruction in Germany. They could sue for peace.

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Very interesting. If FAM won't give us more details on these events, then it would be great if some fan-fiction did it for us.
  9. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Once again I will remind everyone that the UK's shipbuilding industry had a lot more spare capacity than the Germans had and they have multiple different major shipyards they can reopen if they really feel like they need to and have enough time which in this case they do due to the Germans being...
  10. American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    Born way too late, he wouldn't exist.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I woulda kinda liked to see batshit-crazy Sean Young as Catwoman :p
  12. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    How far ahead do you think season 3 will skip? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a longer leap than season 2. Maybe late 90s and the first Mars colony is in the works.
  13. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Ultimately "pleasant" is a relative term. I do believe a communist Russia could be pleasanter for most Russians than Comrade Putin's dictatorship.

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Without giving too much away, there's at least one Queen Regnant amongst Charlotte's granddaughters

    American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    Or William Jenner but either one can do for the OP's purposes IMHO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_E._Jenner
  16. Full Incorporation in 1947

    I came across old thread of yours and enjoyed it. You've always got the best legal threads. I'm more curious about full incorporation occurring in the post-war period, however.
  17. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    They had already started falling out of fashion in the years leading up to the war, especiallyfor less formal occasions and even more in dress reform movement costumes, putting the wearer's comfort above conventions considered as obsolete.
  18. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Indeed - it's one thing for reports that 'Nazi's are buiding an awfull lot of U-boats' to reach the Admiralty, something else to do anything about it .... (British slipway capacity is also limited, and a Battleship takes rather longer to build than a sub. so clearing the slipway is not somethng...

    Hmmmmm. 😲
  20. The Forge of Weyland

    ... used to play Avalon-Hill's Jutland on the church hall floor ... great fun ... and the parents liked it because we learned a little history, it kept us out of mischief, and we left their smokes and booze alone ...
