  1. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    The USN was considering large carriers before the treaty came about. In October 1918, the Bureau of Construction & Repair provided a sketch design for a carrier of 24,000 tons and 825ft long capable of 35 knots on 140,000 shp. In 1919, BuC&R proposed a carrier of 34,500 tons and 35 knots (based...

  5. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    “Another one that is less brutal”,and that is not the Germans. Among the three partitioning powers,Prussia (then Germany) treats their Polish population worst,just for example.
  6. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    In my Doctor Who timeline where the Doctor gets Elizabeth pregnant and vanishes, she knows it's the Doctor. She can't marry Dudley for political reasons (I think something happens to him), as it would be better to wed a fellow monarch. She winds up with Eric XIV after pages of political...
  7. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    From what I understand the Germans in the 30's built a sizable number (something like over a half dozen) very large modern auxilary fleet tender ships that were supposed to be able to resupply and refuel fleets while still at sea. That would have been great if the Germans had a considerably...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    They lived miserably under the OTL USSR, so unless you have another one that is less brutal, they will live better under it I mean, I never tough I would see someone claiming that the USSR would be better than these puppet kingdoms

  10. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Also,puppet states the CP wished to create like rump Polish Kingdom are not going to become rich by being the Krauts' economic (and political)slaves just because “Muh,Capitalism Works!”
  11. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    They do not have to beunited we can have a bunch of Arabs tribes migrate and step up a series of petty kingdoms like Dunes of the Desert.
  12. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    What type of socialists replacing what type of empire ruling over what type of colony? All three tended to be a diverse lot... Though considering the OP mentions revolution (not peaceful transfer of power) it is likely the colonies will be lost to the motherland, as it is unlikely colonial...
  13. Mad Bad Rabbit

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

    Lysenkoism wasn't removed until the Brezhnev era, by which time the USSR was having to import grain from the US. If they had implemented glasnost and perestroika right then, say in 1970, maybe they could have transitioned to a China-like state; but that wasn't on the table.
  14. What if the Russian SFSR survived?

    The dissolution of the USSR caused real GDP per capita to fall over 50%, with recovery to the level it was at before the collapse of the USSR taking place only very recently (and in some areas, not at all). It would likely have a slightly larger economy and somewhat better living standards...
  15. Sides in WW1 if France won the Franco-Prussian War?

    If the French put their machines gun on the first line, the Prussian infantry will even more suffered. And because artillery is still firing a direct fire, defensive position can be choose to avoid artillery direct fire...
  16. Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    I honestly think that war is only going to be truly averted permanently if Democracy survives in Germany, in addition to referendums in certain areas like Danzig/Gdansk. Perhaps a unification between Austria and Germany still happens as well (not sure on that issue). But if any kind of highly...
  17. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    The sight of Burt Hopwood, senior designer for BSA , approaching a junior draftsmens desk was not a good sign, especially when he had chewed you out and nearly fired you a year previously. Calm down lad, I'm here to eat humble pie announced Burt, care to join me in my office for a cup of tea. 'I...
  18. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    No. While the USSR is certainly imperialist in foreign policy,how do you know Imperial German will be less so? More Slavic nations could have their own states and the existing states could have larger territory under USSR than under Kaiserreich,especially Poland.
  19. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Both of those were much smaller issues after Stalin died, with the idiotic ban on actual genetics being lifted in the 1960s (and the whole thing being avoidable if Lysenko died younger) and the population in gulags decreasing dramatically after Kruschev took power (although even at its peak, it...
  20. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    u-boats vs. battleships was kind of the argument they had within the KM? the former runs up against the RN (and sounds alarm bells), while the latter runs up against reality. in a certain sense the AGNA "balanced fleet" was not a bad idea, there is not really any category they were going to...
