  1. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    The Arabs were not regarded as a separate people by the Ottomans and were not a separatist threat at this point Also Tunisia was not part of the Ottoman Empire at the time (or at any time - it had only been a vassal state). As for the Greeks, not only were there fewer Greeks than Bulgarians in...
  2. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    I don't think it was widely noticed at the time because Belfast was certainly more industrial. This is a good overview of the demographics for Dublin and Belfast though it only starts in 1950. It's actually kind of interesting but essentially Dublin has been growing at a fairly steady clip...

    Threadmarks: The Futility of War

    The actions that took place that night during the assaults on the heights around Port Stanley generated many tales of bravery, heroism and courage in the face of adversity. Yet for all these there were also many tales of suffering and hopelessness and of man’s simple inability to move beyond his...

    If Rome got rid of slavery would it have advanced more?

    Rome was a slave society, not merely a society with slave.
  6. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Not so hard to do, a few minor script edits would help significantly. First, try not to make the plot feel so forced. Coincidences are one thing but hand-of-(blank) is another. Second, maybe actually showing what this map leads to and making it useful to the plot somehow would help. Both...
  7. If Rome got rid of slavery would it have advanced more?

    it actually according to some it did since had Athens won out they said the mentality migth have evolve in to early capitalism so slavery from the greek mainland would have become null in the same way serfdom was gone in western Europe as they gained more freedoms but was they brought slavery to...
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    A tank with a 25% serviceability and a 4 to 1 kill ratio is as lethal as a tank with 100% serviceability and a 1 to 1 kill ratio, but gets the same results with a quarter of the crew losses. Panther crews often walked. PzIV crews often died. No tank can be kept in service long after the...
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Is a working Me 210 any better than a working Fw 190 while using twice the engines, double the weight and price as Fw 190, and using twice the fuel? It is also twice as easy to spot and to hit.
  10. Pop-Culture in TNO

    95% chance Zuko might not even exist TTL to be honest. Asia would be much more closed off and the cultural exchanges needed to facilitate the popularity of asian culture in America would not happen, which also means ATLA would not happen. If China wins, it would take decades before some sort of...

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

    The buttons might say as follows. WREU: "Free minds and free markets." Vyatka: "A revolution rises." Samara: "The death of a nation." IRH: "The power of the mind." Mirror West Siberia Unifiers: The Free State of Tyumen (Tyumen): Kaganovich abandoned communism and embraced "moderate" fascism...

  14. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Thought it was later than that? my bad.
  15. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Actually Dublin was already larger by this point. The 1936 and 1937 census for Ireland and Northern Ireland respectively showed Dublin had overtaken Belfast at some point in the late 1920s or early 1930s. (Agreed on your other points.)
  16. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Listen to the test pilot of the Me-210 when he complained about its control issues Lighten the Me- 210 by eliminating the dive breaks, the bomb bay, the rear guns and the second crewman for day fighter versions. You'd wind up with a lighter higher performance version of the Me-410
  17. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Along with everything that would be needed for the Allies during the war, for example Ireland won’t need to be building any airports post war.

  19. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    But can Dev and co make the assumption that they won’t? I mean yes it’s an Irish government and defence so always assume the worst option and then multiple it but but imagine your in that position in 1940, the RN is using bases in your nation and you’ve just seen German tear through Europe. Can...
  20. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    Probably 2x, maybe 3x-4x, OTL's $133M Marshall Plan funding with much more of it in the form of grants (with the Grant:Loan ratio being 70:30, at worst 60:40)
