  1. Most likely end date for World War I without American involvement?

    Well, the real important point here is, how would the economy of the Entente hold out. Or to be more precise, will the USA supply the Entente as it did after the entry into the war? If yes then the Entente might have a chance to fight on as long as needed. But still has a serious problem with...
  2. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    To be honest, this would be a very hard premise to fulfil. The likelihood is that you'd see more violent slave raids in the region because it would still be profitable if local African economies wouldn't trade. What is interesting is that the area would probably be more visibly relevant and...

    Threadmarks: Aug 45: The mushroom clouds begin

    Aug 45: The mushroom clouds begin With Romanian territories partitioned between Hungary, Italy, and Ukraine, Romanian forces held up in the Carpathians were significant at this juncture—nearly 400,000 strong. Without a serious chance at resupply, they cooperated with the Soviets in a breakout...
  4. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    These aircraft seem better than what they are because they were not mass produced. So, I honestly think producing a cheaper FW-190 under license would make more sense, especially considering that it would be more reliable and probably perceived as better--and the FW-190 was a bit better all...

  6. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    If anyone's curious what Ronald Reagan is up to after the success of The New Rough Riders, he's parlayed that success into a number of guest starring roles on major television programs. He spent most of the year campaigning hard for Nixon, however. The TV appearances are largely busy work by...

    Weekly Flag Challenge: Discussion & Entries

    Emmm, there was already a Centroamerican Flag when they were one country, plus we know very little about Centroametrican Culture. I can draw one tonight, but feel free to change the challenge if you have any new idea.

    Threadmarks: Pop culture in 1962

    Pop culture in 1962 In a nutshell: The year began with the American people evolved in a jingoistic fever from success during the Cuban War. However, as the year went on a successful conquest of Cuba turned into a slog in Colombia and Panama, as well as The Great Standoff in Turkey and...
  9. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Other than the greater greek GDP and arms procurement expenditure, it is worth mentioning the TTL trade balance. It has been mentioned already that Greece got an important grain producing region (east Thrace). The hard currency used in OTL to import wheat, can now be used to import machinery and...
  10. How much could a surviving PLC polonise?

    In late 18th century the era of nationalism is just around the corner. There would almost certainly .be a strong national awakenong among Lithuanians Belarussians and Ukrainians comparable to the one among Finns, Estonians and Latvians. Their languages would gain official status sooner or later
  11. Prolonging the Futility: A WW2 European TL

    It would seem, the a-bombs are going to drop. Keep in mind that the USA had only 3 working versions after the trinity test IOTL in 1945. In 1946, about 10 more were made. So, in reality, the a-bomb would not have been enough to end the war if either nation was intent upon continuing the fight.

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    That would be extended to the NKPA (or what's left of it anyway), but I can't see one being used for the dozens of communist bandit groups south of the 38 (and there were probably some to the north as well) that had been fighting the government off and on since 1945. Those are the groups Rhee...

    PC: More European monarchies survive WWII

    While one could point to the French Revolution as the beginning of the end of the dominance of monarchy over Europe, and the aftermath of the First World War as the continuation of the trend, it wasn't really until WWII when the pendulum swung firmly in the direction of republicanism. Italy...
  15. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    That's a lot of ifs to go right, especially given the years of Anglo-German rivalry.
  16. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Well going for wiki in 1955 the URSS had a total of 200 warhead and the R-2 had an accurancy of 1.2 km (but other sources give even 4 km)...but they tested between 1953 and 56 radiological weapon like the Geran radiological warhead to compensate the lack of accurancy; naturally for all that...

  18. What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    @Finbarr the Fair, he's right. You seem to be quoting the "Vote 8" cost which IIRC excludes the guns and fire control systems, but might include the gun mountings. This table comes from a Cabinet Paper called Defence Expenditure in Future Years which is dated October 1937. .

    What If: Greenland Norse has survived the Little Ice Age

    i mean the norwegians and danes certainly thought that paganism had been revived when they lost contact with Greenland.

    What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    I do not think the extra uboats would make difference for getting rid of the battle ships. What the head of Uboats thought they needed. Doenitz, 300 U-boats and grand strategy https://uboat.net/forums/read.php?3,285,554
