  1. Sugarcane is primarily used to make wine

    You can make alcohol out of most anything. In fact it takes work to prevent fruit juices from fermenting. Pure sugar, on the other hand, is difficult to get. Sugar cane gets you the latter fairly easily.
  2. The Empire Parnell Built

    Things are slowly improving even OTL. Here it looks like the baseline is higher at least. Presumably the FA for eg were less unhelpful....
  3. Denliner

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

    Fair enough, but it's predictably going to see a similar fate to its OTL counterpart, with it getting quickly panned by organizations like the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and independent critics for its Orientalist stereotypes and racist lyrics, although for the 90s it probably...
  4. Treaty Ports (Ireland) in WW2

    If the UK doesn't get the right to establish airbases in addition to the naval facilities then not very much. If it does then the mid Atlantic airgap is smaller and allied shipping losses fall, possibly substantially.
  5. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    sounds logical (and real life does have a sense of irony, in the Netherlands there is talk of slightly increasing the role of the king in cabinet formation again, so essentially what we are discussing here)
  6. Have the Austin Metro be more successful

    You know i could see that getting succesfull in indonesia (if it cheap that is and could compete with toyota)
  7. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    Maybe they can cast a deciding vote in the event of a tie, but with some restrictions?

    Have the Austin Metro be more successful

    For sure, if British Leyland would have faced troubles in all extents, from financial to others, around the 1970s, then BL would have merged financially into Nissan immediately as the latter had licenced a handful of technological components from Austin in the 1960s - this would have benefited...
  9. How to ensure China remains imperial

    Interesting, what became of the timeline?
  10. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    so a monarch who has only symbolic power and is the only citizen that can't vote, and for that reason can preside over the assembly. makes sense
  11. Have Hudson Motors continue to be viable company up to the present.

    I think it would need to produce a car that can compete with something that is quite common at the time also that idea of the kubelwagen as a farm/utility car could work especially shipped to mostly agricultural nation like india or indonesia or any post war country that desperately need...
  12. Mad Bad Rabbit

    Deutschland Uber Alles?

    A big country with crippling reparations from WWI. They were screwed until those were taken away, no matter who they chose as leader. In order to get Shiny Happy Non-Holocaust-Having Germany, you need go a couple of generations back and airbrush both Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm out of the picture
  13. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    Maybe the king is the presiding officer of the democratic assembly? They're the ones who call out the agenda, shouts "Oooooooooorrrrrrdeeeeeeeer", etc.
  14. How to ensure China remains imperial

    I once briefly plotted the outline of a timeline involving a fictional character who was able to distinguish himself during the Sino-French and Sino-Japanese Wars, who then became a reformist military governor in one of the Southern provinces by becoming aligned to the Guangxu Emperor. The...
  15. Deutschland Uber Alles?

    Some sort of rightwing dictatorship, war in polish corridor, and antisemitic legislation probably inevitable.
  16. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    Someone takes "every man a king" a little too literally... all jokes aside, I'm not really sure how you'd ever get this to work...maybe a monarch with no power and no other form of government? Somehow?
  17. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    Are there any union commander beside mclellan and grant that the republican ever consider offering the job as president?
  18. Map Thread XX

    jesus christ just do a q-bam in stead lmao, this is absurd
  19. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    Yeah i guess i wonder did seward and johnson ever had a major disagrement?
  20. Mad Bad Rabbit

    AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    "We're an anarcho-monarchist commune: we take turns being king for a week, but all decisions made by the monarch have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs, or a two-thirds majority in the case of more major..." [ due to...
