    Is civilizational centrism inevitable?

    It seems some Civilization is always going to have substantial sway. The Ottomans were mostly centred in Anatolia. And one wouldn't considered Britain being American because it geographically had American land. Well that shtick isn't unique to Europe.

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Just had a crazy idea. One of Shatner' s non Star Trek movies was 1980's "The Kidnapping of the President ". Since Shatner is doing Six Million Dollar Man , have Lee Major do Kidnapping .
  3. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    That "Old Engineer" is almost certainly Korolev: He is an engineer. Inspired by the stars and cosmos. He has personal experience in gulags. Rockets didn't exist when he was young. That flag conversation was probably something that an N1-L3 project leader would say. I don't see Glushko (who was...
  4. Man-Made Hell: The History of the Great War and Beyond

    If peace soon comes in the world, I could confidently say that much of French West Africa would do better than they have did IOTL. Of course, you must have had something else in mind that would extend the war up until the 40's, so I'll not definitely draw conclusions from this. After all, the...
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'll keep that in mind, but I want to give everybody else a chance to cast their ballot. Norman Lear brought the Embassy library with him when he was hired by Paramount. Thank you.

    Map Thread XX

    So I'm working on a Map where Southern Asia (Including Southeast Asia and India/South Asia) were the dominant powers of the world and they would go on to colonize Europe and (Possibly) The Americas. Oceania was also colonized by the Malays and Indonesians, as well as the Hindi and Tamil.

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

    Gonna add my two cents to the casting suggestions: Danny DeVito as the Fox.

    List of monarchs III

    What if Napoleon stayed on Elba? Monarchs of Elba: 1814-1824: Napoleon I (House of Bonaparte) [1] 1824-1844: Joseph I (House of Bonaparte) [2] 1844-1846: Louis I (House of Bonaparte) [3] 1846-1893: Louis II (House of Bonaparte) [4] 1893-1922: Ippolita (House of Bonaparte) [5] 1922-1948: Joseph...
  9. What if the Anti-Party group had succeeded in overthrowing Khrushchev?

    Tito and Khrushchev sort of bounced around the desire for socialist unity, if only as a bulwark against china. Malenkov turned to the Orthodox church while exiled in Mongolia, ittl i was wondering if he might turn into MS thirty years earlier?
  10. What if FDR died a year earlier?

    Wallace and Dewey will each lean away from Roosevelt's promises to Stalin but in different directions. Wallace - Soviet Austria, Soviet Greece, Soviet influence in Afghanistan and British Raj is greater, possibly a Soviet Korea. Stalin gets more tech from the West before the Cold War starts...
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Voted. And my votes were decided rather early on because Married... with Children, while being a cornerstone of the network and the first show to air on it, is not a 20th Century Fox Television production, but rather made by Embassy Television, later on by Columbia Pictures Television. Then...
  12. Best accidental president

    It could be argued that the Smoot-Hawley Act took the already bad economy and made it catastrophically worse, and that passed in mid 1930, when the economy was already 2 years into the worst depression ever, so Hoover only had to deal with from 1931 to 1933 Democrats in Congress, and considering...
  13. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    He'd be a tad young to make that work at the time. He would only have been in his late Forties. I would choose Abe Vigoda for a live-action Gepetto, as Pacino playing Gertrude, as it were, would have jolted my mid-teenaged self out of the movie.
  14. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)
    Threadmarks: The squeeze begins

    Jan 5, 1940 Stalin orders the curtailing of raw material shipments, particularly oil, scrap metal and phosphates. The curtailment starts slowly then increases over time. In Jan the curtailment is 15% oil. 8% scrap metal,10% in grains and 8% phosphates. In February it is curtailed another...

    Anti-Semitic Fascist Italy from the start

    Possible but quite difficult anti semetism in italy by this point was no where as prominent within the culture as other European powers. Not just that you would likely have to switch out the leading fascists as many otl opposed said laws hell Mussolini who was evil through and through but even...
  16. What if the Anti-Party group had succeeded in overthrowing Khrushchev?

    Malenkov had some kind of religious conversion? Please explain. I doubt a profession of faith would be *good* for his political prospects in the USSR. Well that would be interesting. Could Molotov's hardline against concessions and enthusiasm for state farms/communes make him more...
