  1. 1923 Turkish population exchanges: ATLs possible

    Really? This would have overturned the demography of Salonika. How many people would this have transferred, and wouldn't it have given Greece quite a bit of international bad press in the interwar era? Could Turkey accommodate all the Greek Jews, presumably in its urban centers? Would...
  2. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Just after 9am in the morning of Wednesday 14 May 1884, a man walked into a police station in Belfast city centre. He told the constable on duty behind the desk that he had important information about the Sheffield bombings, and asked to see a senior officer. He was taken to a back...
  3. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Wonder Woman 1984 First off, Kristen Wiig was a mistake. She does not have the acting ability for a movie like this. Or maybe a really good director could have gotten the performance out of her, but it wasn't done in this movie. We keep on having to be told she is good looking, because we...
  4. China does not take over Tibet

    Doesn't Inner Mongolia have a larger Han Chinese population than Mongol population? And wasn't this already true in the 1940s and 1950s? I wonder if Mao could have have accepted the Choibalsang formula of unifying Inner and Outer Mongolia formally under Choibalsang's independent rule from Ulan...
  5. Automotive WI: Hyundai Motor Group acquires MG Rover, Saab, De Tomaso, Hispano-Suiza, Bentley, Jaguar-Land Rover, Lotus, Mini, and Rolls-Royce

    Three things spring to mind... 1. I can’t imagine HMG (Her Majesty’s Government) allowing a purchase of Rolls Royce plc to the other HMG. The car company? Fine. The aerospace company? Not in a million years. Shareholdings, maybe. Ownership? Forget it. Even the Brits, who’d sell their...
  6. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    How many SH60's can you operationally accommodate in a Thetis Bay - it operated up to 20 large helicopters in the mid 50's
  7. The Tudor Rose over Brittania
    Threadmarks: Tudor Rose over Britannia Chapter 2 (Coronation)

    Dressers fit Henry in ceremonial robes, while both Edmund and Lord Shrewsbury sit watching. The Lord Chamberlain, Charles Somerset otherwise known as Lord Herbert was there also, at attention. Lord Herbert was also family, as he was the illegitimate son of the last one who had his title, but...
  8. Which leader had the biggest cult of personality: Stalin or Hitler?

    Hitler, by a far mile. He was perceived as the messiah of the german people, literally send by God. There were church services dedicated to him and he got the Wehrmacht to do an oath not on his office, but himself. He was viewed as the embodiment of the german people. Even some of the...

    Anglo-Chinese invasion of Tibet during World War 2?

    It's not the fighting - that can happen over all sorts of terrain. It's the using that as a logistical route to supply the Chinese forces that I'm questioning.

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Oh I see. For some reason I had the idea he changed his story in my head.
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I'd certainly agree that Me-210 was the major Luftwaffe's problem, in a time when they needed every aircraft and pilot. Even debugged, it will still remain withing equation "either one Me 210, or two 1-engined 'day' fighters". Thus my suggestion upthreads that Luftwaffe does not embark on whole...
  12. What if the US found actually found Nuke’s in Iraq?

    If there was a nuke, it would probably have been used. Which in fact would make for a very interesting timeline where the whole WMD thing is proven by a major US force being utterly destroyed. How would the invasion proceed in such a situation? Or would the Americans go full nuclear?
  13. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    The problem is: where you have EVER seen that antagonism of Elizabeth or her family in confront of Richard? And that part of Edward trusting Richard enough to make him Lord Protector is a total nonsense as the Lord Protector was de jure the first adult male in the line of succession. Th e...
  14. What happens to the rest of Europe if the Roman Empire survives?

    Woden Caesar rules from his hall of heroes in Ravenna, till a wolf-time, a sword-time when comes Surt from Muspelheim (Snorri thought Muspelheim was Byzantium) and the Wolf (Russia? Poles?) and Loki (revolting original Romans?).

    Anglo-Chinese invasion of Tibet during World War 2?

    Nepal and Tibet invaded each other all the time throughout 600 AD - 1860 AD. A military commission in 1934 based in Kathmandu found that the Nepali government could invade Tibet with 60,000 troops on moderate difficulty grounds and capture Lhasa in a month or two at maximum. Despite what people...
  16. What happens to the rest of Europe if the Roman Empire survives?

    unlikely, it’s more likely that Roman border regions falls to power outside them Yes it’s pretty much given, we can just see the adoption of Christianity by the Germanic people Yes and no, only in the context that Russia became Romanized or Poland becoming Frankonized in OTL.
  17. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond
    Threadmarks: Race to the moon, Justice Arthur Goldberg, Sonny Liston, a new era in Vietnam, and Ole Miss riot of 1962

    The race to the moon -- Kruschev’s Speech on the Soviet Lunar Mission. Kruschev announced the Soviet Lunar Mission mere days after Kennedy’s speech at Rice University. In responding to Kennedy’s speech, Kruschev had acknowledged the Soviet’s own intentions to reach the moon before the end of...
  18. The National Basketball Association in the BSiC Universe

    Hello AH.com, long time reader, first time poster here. I recently came across @President_Lincoln 's incredible storyline titled "Blue Skies in Camelot." I just finished reading through what has been finished thus far, and in anticipation of whatever Mr. President is planning on adding to the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 7: Decade in Review

    Chapter 7: Decade in Review As we prepare to enter the more tumultuous 1890s, let us take a look back at the 1880s, starting with President Garfield's first term. The first major event was not legislation but rather an assassination attempt that the President survived on September 19th, 1881...

    AHC: Keep Europe as fragmented as possible

    Preventing the unification of countries could also result in more long term divisions. For example, If the Capetians hadn’t expanded the Royal domain as much, France could be a dozen different countries today.
