  1. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    Honestly alot of the myths have faded nowadays, I feel the Nazis are mainly remembered as abject failures, aside from people who only watch History Channel documentaries.

    WI: The Karens take over Persia

    For a moment, I thought of the same thing but I realized it was not the absolute case here.
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    and wreaked great Terror among the paratroopers...
  4. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    Well just based off a cursory look at the wiki we might be able to start a POD even earlier then the parthians and sassanids by going as far back as ancient Persia and the Macedonian successor states for the Karens to begin their rise to prominence if we are willing to accept the following...
  5. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Well I accept most of your points but I think something is missing, for example let's compare Classical Greece to the Roman empire: Urbanization was likely at least around the same levels in the Roman East compared to Classical Greece. While Rome was unified I think we can still see that given...
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I would go with cedar fair or premier parks
  7. How to ensure China remains imperial

    IIRC there was fear/allegations that one of the generals who suppressed the Taiping Rebellion would try and overthrow the Qing although this never happened. Considering how battered the Qing were by this time, a significant amount of soldiers behind a popular general could probably found a new...
  8. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Looking at the insurgency's requirements, creating a 250km line while invading another country to cut off supply isn't very rational. The other military and political implications have been nicely described in the last few pages. Long term the North Vietnamese need to sap the electorate's...
  9. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    One idea I had for an alternate BatB was that Belle turned out to be the Enchantress, having been stripped of her magic after she had caused a great deal of suffering and misuse (perhaps by transforming Beast's generally innocent servants). Maybe that could happen? Just adding two cents.

    DBWI: A totally non-successful Beer Hall Putsch

    That would butterfly 12 years of KPD rule in Bavaria. It had a Backlash of Letting Far-Left grow too big there.
  11. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Popular science book analyzing a large set of fossilized footprints dating to about 30000 BCE that appeared to show a ritual of some sort. Based on foot size and depth, the tracks appeared to have been made entirely by twelve adult men triapsing roughly in a circle in what would have most likely...
  12. AHC: Embarrass the Nazis and destroy their legacy

    The Nazis are often characterised as being militarily successful and having an efficient government. These reputation are of course unearned and based partly in luck and happenstance and partly in inherited successes like Germany's competent officer corps. Nonetheless, myths persist to this day...
  13. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The problem was that it was very, very expensive and they simply couldn't crank it up enough. It takes a lot of coal to produce a relatively small amount of oil and they needed coal as well as oil.
  14. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Well this is considerably more bloody than OTL ending. I’m gonna go and say the Ottomans are going to regret doing that. If not, then Rome will sack and gut them to death

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

    There's probably two ways Beauty and the Beast could be modified. Either it remains as a musical albeit with someone like Tim Rice and Alan Menken for the majority of the score/soundtrack or it is not a musical since Menken/Ashman were the ones that suggested it, iirc. Regardless, it's going...

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The strategic hamlets worked in Malaya due to the different nature of that insurgency. Unlike the Indochinese countryside, Malaya's interior mountains were settled not by a mass of productive peasants, but by numerous tribes that sustained themselves on hunting and gathering. The Malayan CP...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    So Mozarabic is merely tied to the Mozarab Christians and their Visigothic traditions? I find that to be believable, although they will probably survive as part of the Andalusi fabric. Perhaps it'll be the midpoint between Arabic being the universal language of law, culture, science, and...
  18. AHC: Make the Romansh Switzerland's dominant ethnic group

    The majority of the population was Roman in frankia

    Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Ok so the USSR is doomed to be like that... Thanks.
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I have trouble imagining even Hitler would think that the French would just sit on their thumbs after Molotov Ribbentrop and the invasion/partition of Poland. The French military high command/political leadership for all their faults and sins would have had to be gibbering "lead paint chugging"...
