  1. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    https://books.google.com/books?id=5nAt6N8iQnYC&lpg=PA229&ots=FQCDmq_yDP&dq=%E2%80%9Can%20unruffled%20Salerno%20replied%E2%80%9D&pg=PA229#v=onepage&q=%E2%80%9Can%20unruffled%20Salerno%20replied%E2%80%9D&f=true This is kind of the good part of the mob. Here Mr. Anthony Salerno (“Fat Tony”) is...
  2. WI: Cheney dies in 2002?

    ASB Cheney doesn't have a heart, so it can't fail.
  3. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    Taft would also have defended the record of the 80th Congress (something that Dewey pointedly refused to do) and would have attacked Truman (something Dewey largely refrained from doing.) From The Roots of Modern Conservatism, Dewey, Taft, and the Battle for the Soul of the Republican...
  4. WI English displaces popularity of indigenous Scandinavian languages starting from the 1800s

    For the North Atlantic Islands the simple answer is Britain just annexing them. The rest is more difficult, especially Finland considering the Great Northern War started in 1700 so there isn’t much time to set up a PoD here.

    Threadmarks: Rough Map of Overlord/Neptune as of 1600 May 14 1944

    This is a rough map of the situation at D+10 hours or so. The division responsible for beach defenses has been effectively destroyed as a divisional unit. Some companies and battalions are in good enough shape and are coherent. Fixed defenses are either being bypassed or taken by deliberate...
  6. WI: Cheney dies in 2002?

    A common joke of the time was that if Cheney died, George W. Bush would become president....
  7. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    To me, the answer to "why are these butterflied away" is "because not as many evil th8ngs happened as could have." It's easy to see these 2-3 things not happening (and it looks like new Mexico can't be butterflied like the others, so let's say 2 of 3 are) because things were bad enough 9ne could...
  8. WI English displaces popularity of indigenous Scandinavian languages starting from the 1800s

    The Brits could end up adopting Scandinavian cultural traits, like binge drinking, dry humor, passive aggressiveness and extreme public social reservation.

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    So deeper in Russia, and facing stronger ally forces in Normandy and Southern France and extra front in Greece. Bagration coming up, even more brutal fight perhaps for the Soviet Union and Germany on the Eastern front. The Soviet Union may not be first to Berlin, If so I hope the Western Allies...
  10. WI: Cheney dies in 2002?

    “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.” The 25th Amendment My guess is Bush would pick someone from his cabinet. The confirmation...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Two more Polish Barrels for TL-191 A 14TP armed with a 50mm Kwk 38 main gun And a medium barrel based upon the 14TP armed with a 75mm Kwk 40 main gun.
  12. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Only realizing this now but if the CS Air Force is its own department, who would be likely candidates for Secretary of the Air Force? Been speculated Ira C. Eaker is Chief of Staff/Air Operations in the active duty/ranking officer capacity.
  13. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    There was a post arguing that the SBA's military dictatorship path fits as it's a system of collective leadership full of cynics who truly do just want power rather than being committed to any ideology.
  14. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    But they could have them deployed fairly quickly if need be. Certainly within a day.
  15. TL-191: After the End

    I've also thought that instead of annexing Serbia, there'd be a member of the House of Obrenović on the throne or someone distantly related to them since said house were more friendly to the Austro-Hungarians during their rule. Because of that, Alexander I and his wife were deposed and murdered...
  16. Sports What Ifs.

    The football team scandal was after the Patrick Dennehy murder and the fallout from that. Maybe the basketball program getting the death penalty causes the football scandals to go differently, since someone would probably remember what happened to the basketball program...
  17. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Makes sense, and creates interesting conflicts for the future. That would be amazing. I hope you come back to that. You've done the research and have the skills; if I went down that rabbit hole I'd enjoy it but never do it proper justice, and if it were someone else who knows if they'd have...
