  1. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Again, those groups are against the existence of the Republic, declaring that they (each one of them) are the one and only Government of Ireland and that the Republic was an illegitimate state. Aiding them and potentially having the world blame the Republic for any Republican terror attack isn't...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’ They kind of got ducks right
  3. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    Sure, any WMD needs a delivery system and I think the fear is greater that a domestic enemy might get ahold of a WMD and use it internally. I had a political science professor who had a funny spiel about what if the Chicago Police and the Mafia got nukes.
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I don't think there would be an official port, but there would almost have to be several study-hall efforts. Remember, Lode Runner, Karateka, and The Last Ninja originally began as after-hours efforts in high school and college Apple II computer labs. The MICKEY has better specs than, say, a...
  5. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    ...Iraqi airspace. Go big or go home. Yes, this ratchets up the tension dramatically, but are Israel and the US willing to provoke a now proven nuclear state anyways on the assumption that anti-missile defense can *maybe* intercept all the inbounds? Or that they know where *all* the launch sites...
  6. How long could Nazi Germany delay its defeat?

    1990's I figure (edit: in terms of 'survive'; not in terms of avoiding military defeat), based on how long Stalin and his successors' version of a communist Russia lasted. That presupposes Hitler gets couped/assassinated, along with half a dozen key advisors as early in 1943 as the point of...
  7. WI: President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, & Secretary of State All Die In Office

    It would cycle through the Cabinet in teh order that the Departments were created. There is no provision that addresses what to do if the entire Cabinet is kolled. That is the reason on Cabinet member always skips the State of the Union Address,
  8. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    And I will ask again - who is the President of the United States now? Did Roosevelt TTL went to the third term, without OTL WWII?
  9. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Just a list of Presidents of the U.S. footnotes: c- Member of the Federal-Republican Party d- Member of the Patriotic-Whig Party e- Initially elected vice president as the runner up for the losing Patriotic-Whigs, but switched halfway through vice presidency to the Federal-Republicans. f-...
  10. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Well, a trench warfare between USSR and the United West. That seems to be a very, very lond and bloody conflict, since both sides had A LOT OF RESOURSES (mach more, than Central Powers had in 1914-1918 ). THAT War coul devastate Europe.
  11. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    in Brazil: https://library.brown.edu/create/fivecenturiesofchange/chapters/chapter-3/slavery-and-aboliton/ People judge other people’s character a lot during war, perhaps more than they should. So be it. That’s a fact of life. As a result of the Paraguayan War 1864-70, increased calls for...
  12. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Ireland had also watched the League of Nations neutered and wither away, acting as if the UN was going to be a certainty and survive is an over stretch. Nor does that change my point as to why it should have convinced/coerced Ireland into joining the War.

    heh, that has one of those new-fangled 'Windows' Keys present
  14. Let There be Peace in the Great European Plain: A Story of Teutons and Slavs in 19th Century.
    Threadmarks: ACT 2

    ACT 2: “The White Negroes of Europe”: The History of Persecution of the Polish People, by Piotr S. Wandycz. The years of 1879, 1880 and 1881 are generally regarded as the time when institutional segregation became not only accepted, but also the norm of the German Empire. In effect...
  15. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    The "Declaration of the United Nations" was signed in Washington on January 1, 1942 by Roosevelt, Churchill and the Soviet and Chinese ambassadors and immediately published, I am sure the Irish were well aware of what it said and which way the world was headed. I think the reason Stalin...
  16. Crowns of England and Poland and their Parliments

    Were the kings of England (later GB) stronger or weaker compared to their Polish counterparts in terms of internal control in the 17th and 18th centuries? On one hand, some who sat on the crown of the Kingdom of England got deposed by traitors in parliament. Charles I could not get his...
  17. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    I get the feeling that if one of the forward guns get swapped with more missile tubes and the other for a 5" gun as it seems increasingly likely said issue will mysteriously get resolved
  18. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    That is basically the result of the program getting cut due to overruns elsewhere in the program. The DDG-1000's used a brand new combat system that was supposed to replace AEGIS, so they had to write new software to use the Standard Missiles in company with the new radar and computers. Wasn't...
  19. WI Jesus was Executed by Sawing

    There are no records of Jesus at the time of him supposedly being alive. AaMof: the whole ‘census, return to your birthplace’ has no record (though reportedly done ‘throughout the known world’) and never would have been done, anyway. Banishment for troublemakers at the time of Jesus was a thing...
  20. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    it always amuses me when people say "If Iran gets nukes, then terrorists will be nuking Israel and the US!!:" There are lots of reasons why we don't want Iran to have nukes, but fearing that they will be giving them out like candy to terrorists isn't one of them....
