  1. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    My bad, in that case then I think you're exactly right. What I'm focusing on here is what if instead of the 90s seeing a rise in the Clinton style New Democrats, it instead saw the brief resurgence of the slightly more conservative style of democrats that were still pretty common in south and...
  2. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    The Decelerationist Decade Refers to a period of Anti-Reformist sentiment in the Ottoman Empire after a pious awackening eventually leading to the end of the Tazimat-Reform era. From 1876-1886 many modern reforms had been revoked. Secular institutions were disbanded in favour of clerical. The...
  3. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    I disagree that the US would've had fewer opportunities for industrialization. The whole argument you're making there is based off of the assumption that everyone agrees that protectionist measures aid in industrial development, which we obviously do not as that has been the entire point of this...

    Medieval America Mark III

    Part 2: Next, onto livestock. As these maps show, the bulk of cattle in the US are farmed on the high plains and/or the Midwest, while the majority of hogs are also farmed in the Midwest, with substantial populations in the south as well. Sheep are primarily grown in Texas, the plains, and...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    That's a pretty good summary of it.
  6. How does the situation in Israel/Palestine play out with no WW2/Holocaust?

    Israel has a larger population and is possible on both sides of the river Jordan. The Arab population will likely be expelled in it’s entirety to make room for the vastly expanded Jewish population.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Improve it, but it won't save it. If you want to save Daikatana you need to hit John Romero over the head anytime he hears the phrase "Quake 2" and keep doing so until the phrase has left his head. If the game had released on schedule, or with only a slight delay it would have been far, far...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Tbh with hindsight, to save the whole sequel trilogy there needed to have been some actual overarching plan/vision involved instead of winging it from the get-go. The general production of the trilogy was mis-managed with Solo for example having a revolving door of various directors brought on...
  9. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    can we maybe have more of your idears if you have some ?
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    While it is wonderful to see Freddie Mercury survive, as you say a bright spot amongst the dark, there is a part of me that feels a more careful Freddie is somehow a lesser Freddie. There was always a sense of "Better to burn out than to fade away" about his life, without it he is a different...

    Map Thread XX

    So we never finished the key because we ran out of Vodka at the time, but this is as much as we got
  12. WI: The Karens take over Persia

    I was just going to say the same thing.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Reminds me of a joke, Russian in origin I believe... A pessimist and an optimist are sitting on a park bench. The pessimist has his head in his hands... "things are terrible... things are awful... nothing could ever be worse than it is right now!" The optimist laughs, claps the pessimist on the...

    How does the situation in Israel/Palestine play out with no WW2/Holocaust?

    If Israel did exist, it would be considered more legitimate and less criticized, as settler colonialism wouldn't be viewed as negatively without WW2. And might exist as some British or League of Nations entity.
  15. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    This really has me shaking my head. Laos isn't neutral, the North Vietnamese have already invaded the country, and set up a logistical network inside it's territory. They were using Laos as a base from which to attack South Vietnam. To say it's neutral is an absurdity, it had become a...
