  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Eh, the original Magic School Bus already demonstrated that - it just needs to catch on. I'd rather Jim focus on proving how kids shows don't need to be 40% singing and 60% spazz attack.
  2. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    How exactly do you see a global nuclear war resulting from this? The Soviets aren't going to put themselves in harm's way if Saddam used WMDs first.
  3. Epsilon Tauri

    The Winkel-Tripel BAM project

    They look about the same to me, honestly.

    Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Wouldn't it be more likely to be Army Group D? Germany seemed pretty intent on alphabetical identification in 1940.
  5. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    He gave people intellectual permission to believe their worst prejudices, ignore the evidence against them, and not feel guilty for following them.

    The Winkel-Tripel BAM project

    for comparison, this is what the existing Winkel-Tripel basemap looks like new one seems a bit bigger.

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Honestly I am expecting the slave holder fanatics to do a bloody coup and end up killing Breckenridge thus truly alienating the slave holders from the poor whites permanently and allow some rehabilitation of certain confederates or their memories if they are more closely associated with...

    WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    "the Ancient Egyptians forced the Jewish slaves to build the pyramids" I believe Herodotus also claimed this, so it's an old myth, not one necessarily made up by Joshua
  9. AHC/WI: Make South Vietnam win the Vietnam War with a POD after 1968

    Well perhaps if you could get more troops into vietnam that might help hey i mean you could try asking post sukarno indonesia to be involved in vietnam in exchange of military and financial aid though that would be unlikely I think the problem of vietnam is that the us need keep supporting...
  10. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    I don't think this is an accurate depiction of Hoover's response to the depression. I definitely don't think his response was good, but not at all for the reasons you listed. He did follow a far more interventionist approach than ever before in American history. However his tariff bill was the...
  11. WI : Seward in 1852/1856?

    With the South still fairly strong within the Whig Party in 1852, I don't think he would have had a chance to be nominated. Scott was just barely nominated, and got few southern votes in the convention, in part precisely because Seward supported him. Still, Scott did get some southern...
  12. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Why would Australia become involved. It is at the other end of the Earth from Australia and it's concerns. It has just undergone massive upheaval caused by it's commitment to Vietnam, it's society has become riven with dispute and demonstration. It has more then enough problems. Would it...
  13. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    This is a huge misunderstanding of economic history. The vast majority of capital investment for the industrial revolution came from the profits of the agricultural revolution, not from the Americas. The differential in industrialization between the northern and southern United States shows what...
  14. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    Africa is far more populated, creating more urban locations that states can form around. This produces far more states that are adjacent to each other, and develop the control over their populations and centralization of bureaucracies that allow for longer lasting states and development.
  15. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    If Hitler had allowed his generals to fight a retreating delaying action with preservation of men and material he could have bled the Soviet Union white and had enough strength to do the same in France. This would delay things no more then 6 to 12 months before fuel caused complete loss of...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    No, because that occurred overnight for me.
  17. List of US Presidents, 1960 to 2020

    ???? - 2001: Warren Beatty / Paul Wellstone (Liberal) 1996 def. Joe Biden / Richard Lugar (Republican), George Wallace III / Robert Casey (Democratic), Larry Sanders / Ralph Nader (Independent Liberal) [7] 2001 - 2003: Patrick Buchanan† / Elizabeth Dole (Republican) 2000 def. Al Gore / Hillary...

    Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    Hmmm... seems to have no colouring at all.... might have been an oversight, or maybe the author/cartographer wasn't quite sure what he wanted to happen to it. I just assumed it would be left to Romania, with the post-1913 boundary to the south of Constanta, including the "Cadrilater"...
  19. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Basically, yes. That was how the US Navy was planning to operate jet powered aircraft from it's escort carriers before they were retired in IIRC 1972.
