  1. WI: Japan never modernizes

    That sounds like a project beyond the scope of American ambitions at the time, especially considering all the internal distractions the US is about to confront.
  2. ES1702's Wikibox & Graphics Thread

    Good heavens.
  3. No Pakistan: what happens to Balochistan and the NWFP?

    India has used military force to incorporate 2 territories since independence, Portuguese Goa and Sikkim, that's it. Any sane Indian government would realize that Afghanistan and Balochistan have much better use as client/buffer states against Iran and the SU instead of poor and insurgent ridden...
  4. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    I'm sure that opening quote has nothing whatsoever to do with anything going on currently IOTL. No sir, nothing at all. :p
  5. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    The challenge is how do you do it without making Canada (that mostly-British but with a twist of Quebecois country north of the USA) something other than Canada. How much land, for example, can you take before Canada's sense of self is something other than Canadian. Also, if you get Canada a...
  6. WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    No, but Burgundy is still in a tricky position. Philip the Bold may not rebel, but his son is another story. A ban on wool exports would be devastating to Flanders and a serious blow to Burgundy's pocketbook. John the Fearless would only be willing to take that for so long. And in a world where...
  7. HMS Audacious

    AHTL: British Carrier Strike
    Threadmarks: Operation Judgement pt 1

    21st October 1940 Trafalgar Day. The biggest carrier battle group the Royal Navy put to sea at that point in the war manges to get within 120 miles of the Regia Marina naval base of Taranto. There targets are five of the six Italian battleships and the nine heavy cruisers along with the six...
  8. WI: Willhelm II dies in 1913

    I think one takeaway that I had from the diplomatic records is that with the exception of Austria, everyone was pretty clearheaded on how dangerous war would be, but they were consistently unwilling to take the offramps they had available, in large part because they couldn't trust their rivals...
  9. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    😳😳😳What a great update
  10. AHC/WI: An early Chinese colony in Japan

    Do they even know that Japan exists? Do they have ships capable of making the journey and forming a colony? IIRC the first mentions of Japan in Chinese reccords date from the Three Kingdoms period...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    DAK, without its oversized truck park, doesn't really bring that much to the Party in the Eastern Front Army Group North's three panzer divisions (the 1st, 6th, 8th) equipped with 635 panzers Army Group Center had the Second Panzergruppe with 1,086 panzers in it's 3rd, 4th, 10th, 17th, and...
  12. WI: Willhelm II dies in 1913

    Some people think on this board that never was going to happen, Britain would never agree to a take down split against Portugal's will, Portugal would never default on their loans to do it the regular way. Perhaps Germany could just force the issue when Britain is distracted and invade Angola...
  13. Map Thread XX

    Yeah I think that might make sense, thanks. :) Sorry for the confusion - I do a few different projects and this most recent series isn't the same as the David Bowie thing. The recent series is based on the idea of places with matching names (i.e Ireland and New Ireland, or Scotland and Nova...
  14. WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    But he never had a reason to go for Charles's head (at worst, Charles was an annoyance for Philip) and Philip because of having no Burgundian support, needed to pay Charles and money was one of the things he valued the most, and Jeanne as a Queen would be the threat to his life as he could not...
  15. The Empire Parnell Built

    Just to confirm, are there any differences from the OTL Government of Ireland Act (1886)? Or is it exactly the same?
  16. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    I believe the US has officially lost around 30-40 nukes. Mostly in the ocean (except for the couple that fell in that patch of North Carolina they still haven't found. Mostly on subs that went down, planes pre loaded with nukes that rolled off of carriers, or various types of aircraft carrying...
  17. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Given that the treaty did give the U.K. rights for airbases to support the Treaty Ports even without the POD I suggested of there being a demand at the time of the talks, perhaps sometime during the Free State the U.K. could have pushed for it? Maybe as a trade off against some of the land...
  18. AHC/WI: An early Chinese colony in Japan

    Make the Chinese people colonize Japan before the Shang dynasty and the early Warring States period. One path very early on may be the same as with Chinese colonization of Taiwan - make the Shang flee to Japan and then make the Zhou conquer them. Then Japan is open to Chinese colonization.
  19. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    the colourful keyboard reminded me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(computer)

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    I believe that the Waldemar's family would go native over the generations. They may get Sikkim if the British want or maybe they will ask for Sikkim instead of the Terai after 1858 Sepoy Mutiny. Garhwal and Kumaon were not fond of the brutal(not so much by the standards of the time butNepali...
