    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Thank you for the well wishes and I personally think Catherine's reaction, which we will see soon, is not gonna be the most fun one. She is just the one who had the most foreshadowing and tried to stop it, so it's not like she's gonna be an all together surprised by it. Disappointed, yes...
  2. AHC Plan a successful Anti-Nazi coup

    I didn't say that the various peace plans the conspirators had would work. I just said that the coup itself would work. Heck, it almost worked IOTL despite Hitler not being dead and the conspirators thus receiving mixed signals.
  3. How much could a surviving PLC polonise?

    The PLC, despite the name having both Poland and Lithuania, had a clear leader. Much of Lithuanias land ended up becoming Polish speaking and it showed no signs of slowing down, until the partitions threw a spanner in the works. If the Commonwealth had stayed strong enough to hold their...
  4. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    First and foremost, Hitler was a very emotional and good orator. While many politicians of the time were very uncharismatic and spoke long and confusing sentences, Hitler used short sentences and appealed to emotions. He didn't want to beat the opposite with "facts & logics", but with the full...
  5. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Something I've noticed once or twice is that rapidly diminished forces with their backs to the wall come up with amazing results, and I doubt that such results are scale-able. Taranto is a case in point, with only 21 Swordfish they did great damage, but Wake Island is another; after 8 of 12...
  6. AHC: Romance languages disappear

    Why did Arabs manage to Arabize Egypt? Egypt hN ad 5-10 mln people at that time while there were no more than 2 mln Arabs IN TOTAL, including Yemen, Ghassanids and Lakhmids. Various Romance vernaculars around 500 AD did not have any higher standing than Coptic
  7. WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    This may be a popular myth, but that doesn't make it true. World War I wasn't the product of an inferior complex on the side of Wilhelm II., but the product of the diverging strategic interests between the various European powers. Germany was a revisionist power who sought to establish itself as...

    WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    Even if he was an autocrat, this would leave Germany open to quite a large degree. It could easily get chewed up by its neighbours, particularly perfidious Gaul in the west, with such a lax approach to military matters.
  9. AHC Plan a successful Anti-Nazi coup

    I doubt it - was dependent on people in general taking their word that General Beck had been made head of state. Also the plotters' terms for peace were to essentially call it a draw.
  10. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Wasn't Ace Bailey working for the Kings' front office IOTL?

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

    SOMEONE AGREES! Maybe Trey Parker (yes, that Trey Parker) directs Barney's Great Adventure ITTL (he was considered at one point to IOTL, if I recall) and rather than a boring, padded out slogfest, it's an affectionate parody of 80s and 90s family adventure movies in the same way Princess Bride...
  12. AHC Plan a successful Anti-Nazi coup

    Isn't that the OTL Valkyrie plan? It didn't work because "due to no properly plan" but because the assasination failed. If Hitler would've been assasinated, the plan would've worked.
  13. Alternate Communist without WWI

    A full blown communist revolt is unlikely to happen in the West during peace time and without a UUSR like example marxist leninism is unlikely to arise. A more localized version of socialism might gain steam in places like latin america, perhaps some form of christian socialism.
  14. HMS St.Lawrence

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

    It's early 1945, in the Bay of Tokyo the representatives for the Japanese government are signing the instrument of surrender aboard some American battleship (why not a survivor from Pearl Habrour this time!) thus bringing the war in the Pacific to an end. In 1941, after its initial attacks on...
  15. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Almost all the interest that could go with the five Tudor monarchs are stuffed into Henry VIII, to the point that by wife three it starts getting boring. It does take you for a spin when she just dies instead of being executed though, good plot twist there.
  16. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Fair enough, although now Ace Bailey almost has to be a player in the hockey world now that you mentioned him. Maybe he finds someone for the Kings who wouldn’t otherwise have gone there. Also, I’m still a bit curious what changed that led to the two terrorist dickweeds being killed - I know...

    What if NAZI Germany didn’t build battleships?

    Except for the fact that the British Empire never recovered from the First World War and is already creaking at the seams...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    So the greek economy is about 55% larger that in otl not bad but of course the great difference the greater industrial development i expect growth about 300% or more by 1939
  19. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    There's often very little analysis on what the absence of American involvement in WWI does to US politics and culture. Folks just assume it will play out like OTL. The 1920s were a conservative period, but even then the government was much bigger than before WWI. There was a gradual but...

    Or would there be a stalemate between Brythonic west and Anglo Saxon east? Giant swarms of butterflies ensue...
