    Ninja'd, by about two minutes. So: @TheDetailer has @Red Arturoist has
  2. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    ...so, with some other senior officer. It's just that Stilwell, while a fine line officer, was a poor diplomat. He managed to go out of his way to p*** off the Brits, too. I understand why he got the gig - the list of highly respected senior generals who could speak Chinese was so short that...
  3. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Nice! There are so many little details on the map. I noticed Clipperton Island is called "Passion Island" and is owned by Mexico, in both this map and the 2021 map. Why doesn't France control it?

    WI: President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, & Secretary of State All Die In Office

    I can give you a scenario similar to but not exactly your scenario. JFK is killed, but Oswald also gets Johnson. John McCormack takes over but dies from stress. Carl Hayden refuses to assume the presidency (which he would). Dean Rusk, who Kennedy saw as a human potato, becomes president.
  5. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    "Hey Iraq! The US is going to nuke you! Send us more of your warplanes so they don't get hurt!"
  6. What if the Mark 71 8"/55 gun wasn't cancelled?

    The one thing about the Zumwalt's I find amazing is the failure to give what is a cruiser a full long range missile defence system. It clearly shows a failure somewhere in the procurement process. The lack of full SM-2/3/6 capability is murky with An Admiral claiming incompatibility and the...
  7. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    About 24 million more people at a very minimum, and most likely more as there are also fewer deaths due to those that died within and as a result of the slave trade. A higher population would most likely mean greater development. The slave trade did act as a resource curse, but it also acted as...
  8. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    There's a lot of unintended orientalism in this thread. The Ottomans were for all intents and purposes a "European" state. They were tuned into European developments and the Balkans was their core, not the Arab-majority lands in the east. Arab nationalism emerged very late and was largely...

    I'll give a quote then if nobody minds: "He's just some capitalist who shouldn't meddle with any field in science. We can safely ignore him."

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    More likely in my eyes would be substantial expansion of the Armenian and/or Georgian ASSRs - both had substantial claims in Turkey, and expanding to the Pontic coast would provide a very profound benefit to the USSR in giving them a number of good warm-water port sites on the Black Sea...

  14. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938
    Threadmarks: Chapter XIX: The Invasion of Germany and Consolidation, August-December 1953.

    @ferdi254 I suppose it has something to do with the USSR having had years to prepare for an invasion and that this is supposed to be a reversed Barbarossa on steroids. Besides that, this invasion into Poland and then Germany is being carried out by a Red Army that wasn't first pushed back to...

    Nice, but you need a quote!
  16. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Richard victory seems more likely everyday so I'm betting on him, although there's several historical examples totally unforeseen and non controllable variants that results in the winning side having the rug pulled under them, so it could really go either way depending on what you're planning...

    No disaster in Malaya, no invasion of Burma; how long does India remains in Britain's sphere?

    Probably not a massively longer. IIRC whilst Mountbatten pulled the 1947 date out of thin air when he was asked the question in India it was the general direction of travel. The UK always ran Imperial India via a tiny British executive perched atop a giant Indian civil service, as such it was...

    Explain the AH Quote

    Outspoken Marxist Activist and Author Angela Davis on the first her book "The History of Asia", describing how the Cold War (1948-1991) affected Asia, as the People's Republic of China (1949-1991) and their Comintern claimed to stand up for the "oppressed non-white proletariats of the world"...

    I still have one of these on one of my secondary PCs at home soft touch on those keys, but not mushy. That replaced one of the IBM AT clicky keyboards
