  1. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    And it was where the Brinkmanship stopped working - he did not necessarily want war with Britain and France 'then' over Poland but was prepared to risk it.
  2. Ivan's revenge : Soviets try to settle score with EGYpt

    Egyptians stole their tech gave it to the west , squandered millions in aid not to mention The diplomatic humiliation and Cost soviets thousands of lives
  3. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    To be honest I still don't see where this popular idea that the Berbers were particularly strong in this period comes from, OTL they failed to remove the Byzantines in their 165 years of stay, they failed to repel the Arab invasion after the Byzantines were removed, they failed to remove the...

    The Karen’s shall rise to rule us all! min all seriousness I’m.m not sure but will be watching with interest
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Also worth consideration is something closer to the original script where the Genie of the Lamp and the Genie of the Ring are constantly trying to outdo each other to be Aladdin's best friend. Ironically, the lyrics are already a step down from the original racism: Oh, I come from a land, from...
  6. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Germanys biggest mistake IMO* was the self inflicted brain drain from 1933 The removal of Liberals, Jews and others 'unliked by the Nazi criminals' resulted in a gutting of many university maths and physics dept - in many cases effectively closing them To make this worse for Germany many of...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Not so sure about that. The Russian Empire clamped down on Congress Poland heavily after 1830 and 1867, and basically wiped out any vestige of autonomy that had been established at the CoV... Books in Polish and in Lithuanian could be printed freely in Prussia... but not in Congress Poland or in...

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Thinking of writing my first non asb timeline, how close was Germany immediately following WWI from going communist? Also any red Germany timellines from this period would be nice.

    AHC/WI: Karen Empire?

    Funnily enough, I nearly did that, but instead chose the Karen people of Myanmar

    Apparently fluorescent tubes is another one.
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I wonder if this butterflies away Molly Ringwald's role in the teen pregnancy movie For Keeps--according to Ringwald and the screenwriters of the movie (this is from the tvtropes.org page on For Keeps, located here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/ForKeeps) , it was supposed to be...

    AHC/WI: Karen Empire?

    For a moment I thought it was about having the House of Karen replace the Sassanids as the ruling dynasty of Persia.
  13. Map Thread XX

    I'm both happy to see my home village on a national map, and sad to see that it's underwater.
  14. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    If givingg up any of the French fleet is a non-starter then the Brits should be more willing to make peace after the Brits have destroyed their relationship with Vichy France by seizing, destroying and damaging much of the French Fleet. Btw even Winston "no surrender" Churchill mentioned...
  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    And once again, Trebisund is saved. The peace was really moderate from both sides, but we know already the two Anatolian realms will clash again so they would lick their wounds for a future war. But at least David saved the indipendence of the Pontic Greeks, even if now is surrounded by the...
  16. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    57 at least is totally and completely incorrect in every way imaginable. Hitler didn't want a "Small Polish War" he wanted a "Small Polish War" that combined with Molotov Ribbentrop secured his eastern Flank in order to deal with the French. Then he intended to go back east and deal with Stalin...
  17. AHC/WI: Karen Empire?

    Thanks for giving me the idea to read the Wikipedia article about the Karen. I knew a little about them from readings about the WW2 and the resistance they offered against the Japanese. I knew also about their "independance" movement against Myanmar government. The answer to your question is in...
  18. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I'd play this setting. Are the Bretons backing the Legitimist candidate?

    Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    What happens with treaty compliance if the Lexington's were scrapped/stillborn and one (or more) of the other carrier options you cited: 24k, 29k, or 34.5k ton ships were built?
