  1. The Professor

    Sugarcane is primarily used to make wine

    While you may be able to get regions primarily using sugarcane for wine I doubt you'd get the entire world doing so. European countries in particular would grow it in their colonies for sugar since it's more productive than honey or beetroot and easier to transport. They'd also trade for it thus...
  2. Alternate History Combat Aircraft

    It certainly resembles the original Sukhoi T-10.
  3. WI: Charles I Stuart spared, but imprisoned

    Not surprising at all. Leaders who are overthrown have a good chance of being killed. Ones that abdicated, not so much. Plenty of examples of both overthrown and abdicated living. Charles V of the Habsburg empire Phillip V of Spain Charles IV of Spain Napoleon III, France Manuel II, Portugal...
  4. Cinco de Mayo

    I love Chamberlain pulling a mini-Bismarck and giving the Irish just enough to defang them but not enough to actually, you know, do anything to address their needs. Great juggling job by him.
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If the theatre commander wants to end his career. It's a lose-lose decision. Withdraw before you lose your command and be sacked. Lose your command and be sacked.

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

    Finally, my dream of playing as Anime-girl Taboritsky can come true! Purging the whole of Russia and poisoning the land with extremely lethal gas and bioweapons, devastating the agriculture and biology of Russia for decades to come, has never been cuter! Alexei-senpai, come back to us! :happyblush
  8. AHC: A feasible anarcho-monarchy

    Anarcho-Capitalism is tried somewhere. Communities are quickly formed on ideological and religious lines. Small scale wars and conflicts arise. Within a few generations, a successful private defense corporation (McMissile) settles most of the conflicts. The CEO crowns himself Emperor of...

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

    Out of all of the Disney classics that they could remake into 3D, Pinocchio might be the most likely. With Disney's resources it's very possible that it'll more successful as a more faithful adaptation to the original story.

  11. ArmaLite AR-10 rifle in service?

    Note don't know if this is ASB What if the ArmaLite AR-10 rifle was adopted into service despite arguing from traditionalists, the composite barrel was never tested and fully certified rifles were used for the tests? The new M-10 rifle enters service in 1958 instead of the T-44/M14 rifle...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    I don't think it would mean much except for being interesting trivia at some point. Much of India was already under British yoke and a Prussian king isn't going to lead to Nepal going on a conquest spree unless it's directed towards the declining Qing dynasty. I know Nepal had its share of wars...

    A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Why do I feel the early days of the marriage between Henry and Eleanor will be a bit... awkward.
  17. DBWI: A totally non-successful Beer Hall Putsch

    Well , the "Man of the Year" doesn't mean "Best Person" but "Most newsworthy" and he was one of the most newsworthy after assassinating Stalin, not that he lasted long.
  18. What if Mao Zedong was president of the United States

    Joe Steele becoming POTUS is more plausible than this.
  19. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Ooh it's interesting to see Margaret's thoughts on the matter.. Hopefully Eleanor will eventually forgive Henry for jilting her.
