  1. WI: Willhelm II dies in 1913

    I do know we have a TL about a similar thing. What if Wilhelm II got a heart attack in 1913? His son, Kronprinz Wilhdlm, ascends the throne. Is it possible to avert ww1?

    What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    To keep maybe in line with the OP Say they were in the process of finishing one - in desperation they do use it but it fizzez they get about 3KT out of it rather than the 200Kt they expected and take out a company size caombat team Bagdad Bob claims it was an American friendly Fire accident...
  3. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    Problem is that an Arab "national conscious" did not begin to develop until the 1880s, and was nascent even in the 1910s (the Arab revolt was more-less a British convention that tied itself to Hashemite ambitions). (From what I know) the Egyptian elite were used to seeing themselves as distinct...
  4. WI: Japan never modernizes

    China isn't humiliated in the Sino-Japanese War. I don't think the Qing can be saved, but they might limp along a few more years. Korea would be a bit more modernized earlier since its modernizing Empress Myeongseong wouldn't be assassinated by the Japanese. Russia isn't humiliated in the...
  5. AHC: Gothic Restoration in Al-Andalus

    a super early reconquista could mean that spain ( if the system is not sick) by 750 i agree it most likely is christian the conquest was barely 40 years old at this point but as i was saying the umayyed caliphate would be overthrown quicker imo i mean with them loosing to the romans , the...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I'm sorry for the delay. Unfortunately, my health has not been great for the past few weeks and I have decided to take a small break from writing. I will still see when I'm able to upload, but it will not be as frequent as it once was. Hope you can understand.
  7. AHC: Romance languages disappear

    Make the Romance languages disappear in the centuries following the collapse of the WRE and be replaced by Germanic ones with a possible exception of Sardinian, as happened with English in Britain Basically Frankish in France, Gothic in Iberia and possibly Romania, Longobardic in italy

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V
    Threadmarks: 3rd of July, 1522.

    Winchester, England. 3rd of July, 1522. Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England bends slightly forward as she watches her husband sign the piece of paper. Her brown hair has been perfectly tucked under a glittering blue french hood, a garment that matched her exquisite royal blue gown, her...

    Hang gliders in combat

    That was Escape from NY , The Hang Glider attack on Kingdom by the Sea was Escape from LA. Kingdom by the Sea was another park that went bankrupt after their park in Paris failed .
  11. WI: Richard II had a breakdown in 1392 instead of Charles VI?

    John is effectively head of the royal family once Richard goes mad and he is the greatest magnate in the kingdom, but his path to securing this sort of role is pretty complicated. He had been rehabilitated somewhat by this time and, in OTL, he had the support of the king, the Hollands, York, and...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    My idea for a post credit scene was for Diana to , give birth to a daughter, "Hippolyta Lyta Trever " . The character that was Fury in the Infinity Inc comic . Then have her appear in a latter Justice League movie.
  13. Greek Style colonization by the Maya

    A few Mayan cities were located in a prime position for maritime trade and though concrete evidence of a Mayan presence in Cuba or any other Caribbean island is yet to be found, the presence of cities like Tulum on the coast of Yucatan only a few tens of miles away and a few caches of Mayans...
  14. AshM vs Dual purpose weapons

    As other have said the ideal performance parameters for SAMs and AShMs are different and not particularly compatible, that said once the AShMs have been expended SAMs are are useful backup at closer range.
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Japan is occupying FIC, and it doesn't take a huge amount of imagination to consider that, once the embargo goes up, that Japan will object to it. Of course, it comes down to whether Britain and the Netherlands actually go along with the embargo, which may not necessarily happen if Britain...
  16. AHC: Gothic Restoration in Al-Andalus

    I would have to bet that a successful rebellion so soon after Muslim conquest would lead to a reassertion of Christianity. The Muslims could theoretically come back for another round of conquests over the next couple hundred years.
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Dieppe in the Med I fear as they don't have landing craft or worked out beach landing tactics yet. Better hope the Italians are asleep at the switch that day.
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    No they won’t. Not until Japan actually enters the war will they demand their return.
  19. AshM vs Dual purpose weapons

    Not adequate by USN standards but a lot of Japanese Soviet British Italian Egyptian and Turkish nAvy frigates did not have dedicated AshM in 1970 to 1990 timeframe Do you think they would have at least benefited from these ? Some ASUW better than just main gun and some of them were not small...
  20. AshM vs Dual purpose weapons

    If one has a workable and affordable dedicated AShM, the appeal of SAM missiles to be used as AShMs is certainly diminished. But of the wait time for the dedicated AShM is measured in many years, adopting the SAM for the anti-ship work is a worthwhile proposition. Me, I'd love to see the Talos...
