  1. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    That would be ample to deal with any Italian fighters but would be at a disadvantage if sent to the Far East.
  2. WI: Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar dies in 1792

    I remember reading somewhere that Lotf Ali Khan, the last Zand ruler of Persia, had a chance to kill Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar after a battle in 1792. Apparently, he hid in a pavilion and survived, going on to found the Qajar dynasty and ending the Zand & Afsharid dynasties. What if he was found...
  3. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I think I would agree here : THIS Flu might still be around bust due to above mentioned argumenst and changed conditions much less fast in spreading and much lesser people inflicting. There will be "break-outs" and "hotspots" but the most efficient means to reduce spread and numbers infected...
  4. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Based on this description "The Troubles" may be one of the great bits of British understatement in the last half century. That IS the Viet Cong's playbook. Yikes.

    And that is an issue which will be examined in later posts.

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    AntiSemitism is prevalent, but at worst it's like the anti Irish and Italian sentiments in the 20s. Jim Crw is especially bad. You don't see pogroms happening anymore outside of Russia or the Balkans, while lynch mobs againsts Blacks was a frighteningly real phenomenon. You can see people with...

    What if the Italian unification failed?

    I can envision, in the case of Austrian victory in 1859 war, that they can arrange the destruction of the Kingdom of Sardinia: Nice and Savoy go to France (Nap III has obtained something for the pound of flesh he asked from the nation), Piedmont is split, east of Sesia river is annexed to...
  10. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Now THAT is a bad sign. Even if the barracks are only company size they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to hold back a largely unarmed mob for a day. Based on what I just looked up there appears to have been a BRIGADE size base near Antrim and Regimental size facility near Down. An...

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    You've done a great job on the recent updates Kaiser and they have only reaffirmed my love for the story. One thing that can be incredibly frustrating about CP Victory TL's is the black and white moralism of the world with the Central Powers along with best friend America becoming the righteous...

    Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    CR7 won the 2006-07 Nations League and Messi won the 2007 and 2013 World Challenges.
  13. The VT-BAM project

    So, I recently found the historic atlas for the German state of Hessen online for free ( https://www.lagis-hessen.de/de/subjects/browse/mode/grid/sn/ga ) and decided to draw the 1815/1821 borders of the Hessian states. Feel free to correct any inaccuracies. I'm not 100% sure that my borders are...
  14. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I can't imagine what you must have experienced. As I said I've tried to understand what life was like during that time. Like many I've watched the excellent documentaries by Peter Taylor and tried mentally to place myself in the shoes of people like yourself, the RUC and especially the ordinary...
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Okay I have idea. So I take it in this more conservative European culture Antisemitism would be more prevelent. Maybe we could see a Jewish civil rights movement like a mirror of Otl 1960s America.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Not to mention that most of the trends that definitively were killed by the war, were killed by the war itself rather than its specific outcome. IIRC high necked dresses are an example of this, they fell off during the war as they were a wasteful use of fabric.

    The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    I will have more on this on the next update, but I don't plan for the peace negotations to be pretty- Russia has, rememeber, received assurances that a greater Germany will not be formed, even though that is much demanded in this timeline in Germany, and the usual great power competition is...
  18. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    The end of the Cold War prompted very dramatic rethinks of what the US Navy was supposed to do. No more escorting REFORGER convoys across the Atlantic. No more trying to penetrate Soviet submarine bastions. There was still expeditionary strike, and that quickly assumed even more importance...
