  1. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    The British would not have intended to engage in daylight but "no war plan survives contact with the enemy" even if things go on the British are still going to give the Japanese a bloody nose
  2. After Spitfire: what should Supermarine be doing to remain relevant well until 1960s?

    Success is probably a consequence of something being good a product, not a cause?

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    If Gumilyov really is out of character compared to his OTL self, wouldn't it be reasonable to say that the destruction of Russia and its collapse into warlordism have radicalized him to his in-game beliefs? I mean the fall of the USSR and Nazism's "victory" (to put it generously) has...
  4. WI: Petain Joined The Resistance With De Gaulle?

    Didn't he call him a wannabee right-wing dictator? So if you are uncharitable the reason he didn't like him was because he correctly assesed him.
  5. Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/map-thread-xiv.383564/page-3#post-12139052 They had powerful neighbors. (Also, at least no Chinese dynasty proclaimed itself to be something as pretentious as the "Master Race")
  6. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    If the airstrikes from the island and the carriers are perfectly coordinated. OTL the strike force on Midway should have overwhelmed the Japanese air defense. But coordination and planning was near zero. We know the result. Even a properly organized overwhelming attack would suffer heavy...

    Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    That sounds very much like Zapp Brannigan organising a strike.

    WI: Probably circa 1970s - Toyota buys Citroen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Chrysler Europe, and Honda until the latter marque went bankrupt

    Perhaps not, but I think the DS would might as well go FR and five-door along with the Celica and Alfetta, see also: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/automotive-wi-citroen-without-peugeot.431626/post-21786764 If Toyota would have kept both Citroen and Alfa in company with each...
  9. List of monarchs III

    What if Napoleon died in the Invasion of Russia in 1812 and the French continued the Empire with Tallyrand as the 2nd Emperor? Emperors of the French 1804-1812: Napoleon (House of Bonaparte) 1812- 1838: Charlemagne II (House of Tallyrand-Périgord) [1] 1838-1847: Achille (House of Murat-Napoli)...
  10. An Alternate History of the Republic of Nauru

    Yay a TL about Nauru! Watched!
  11. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    What we got in OTL was an intended phase-out; slave value was declining, and raising new slaves was perceived as a negative investment. It was only the cotton gin that changed this.
  12. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Ireland was only a short while after a bloody war of independence against the British. A significant minority would have still been the type to think England's struggles are Ireland's opportunity. Ireland under Dev (who had been sentenced to death by the British in 1916 but not executed) would...
  13. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    Japanese fleet defense was horrible throughout the entire War Their AAA was inadequate and the zero did have a large enough ammunition load to effectively perform fleet defense duties The British could still overwhelm Japanese defenses even in daylight
  14. Alt-History Aftermath Scenarios Implied by Media

    Not implied but instead not really though about occurs on the Scarlett Pimpernel (a book series published in the early 20th century, ended up creating the trope of the hero with a secret identity as well as the trop of said hero having his social identity be an buffonish rich guy with no day...
  15. The Forge of Weyland

    That was part of the modernization plan.
  16. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    Only if they break Sommervilles doctrine & try to attack in daylight. Reviewing his decisions in OpC its clear he respected the Japanese capabilities & carefully set up for night strikes only. If the Brits follow that pattern they have a chance.

    Automotive WI - Citroen without Peugeot

    For sure, the only suggestion both Citroen and Maserati, along with Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, and Chrysler Europe, would have refused to merge with either Peugeot or Volkswagen is to let both aforementioned European car manufacturers (along with Honda) financially integrate into Toyota's...
  18. WI: Probably circa 1970s - Toyota buys Citroen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Chrysler Europe, and Honda until the latter marque went bankrupt

    Could the Citroen then be renamed the Citroen Leon. And the Alfa could be called the Alfa Romeo Charlatan.
  19. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    IOTL, the sword was sent directly to Weinstein when Miramax was about to dub Princess Mononoke.
  20. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    What I find interesting is that Ireland never declared war on Germany. Even Argentina eventually declared war on Germany and Japan on March 27, 1945.
