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

    No, a dictatorship even if it thinks of itself as a benevolent one is always evil

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    For the leader Fritz Kuhn specifically, Kuhn only moved to the USA in the late 20s so I'm not even sure he would be in the USA in the KRTL. Some other leader could potentially create an alt-GAB, but IDK how many of those potential leaders would be in the same boat as Kuhn on the immigration front.
  3. AHC/WI Surviving North Sea Empire

    Harthacnut isn't such a sick man (thus bypassing his early death and inviting Edward in 1041) and lives long enough to have a son of his own . That would be only England and Denmark though, to have Norway in the equation, have Svein Knutson invade Denmark and England
  4. Dalai Lama assassinated in 1959

    I can't see the Communist Party caring all that much about the selection process. Rigorous testing for a candidate might be the Tibetan tradition but China is already occupying Tiebt at this point. There may be a token effort made, but all they have to do is find a baby, maybe bribe a Tibetan...
  5. WI: Edward VI dies in 1547 while Henry VIII lives on?

    Anglo-Catholicism claims that the Pope is the head of the Universal Church, a proposition which Henry vehemently denied; actual Anglo-Catholics, had any existed in the 16th century, would have been burned as traitors. Henry would be best characterised as a High-Church Protestant.
  6. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    And with President Clinton regarding the federal budget: https://www.factcheck.org/2008/02/the-budget-and-deficit-under-clinton/ Yes, one can say Clinton was the best Republican president our nation ever had :openedeyewink: , and not even that big of an exaggeration! So, if Al has similar...
  7. Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Joe Craig has always hated management meetings however this one is by far and away the most important he's ever taken part of. 'So let's make sure I have the facts straight' said a member of the board. 'You authorised the delivery of company property to another company, instructed them to...
  8. The L84A1, A2 and A3 Assault rifle - "The Last Enfield"

    The L85 is significantly more reliable than the M4 or the M16 and one of the most accurate mass issue weapons in current service. There's not a massive amount wrong with it, even in the A1 version (which could have been improved but was never quite as bad as it was made out to be).

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    This would make a Irish independence even less likely, wouldn't? The UK wouldn't want an German influenced state so close to home.

    Threadmarks: Round of 16 2019-20

    This edition of the Round of 16 was marked by the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. All home games were organized with no problems, but some of the return legs did offer some problems. Indeed, Croatia v Brazil was postponed along with Netherlands v Belgium, and eventually played under closed...
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    Now is the birth of the Friesland Island Empire!
  12. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    My bets are on also altava or aures i think the Romans would attempt a reconquest but we'll depends on how they go but i agree with the coastal holdouts proposition Also since islam was not a thing in north africa it's most likely that the Berberes would be romano berbers hence the survival of...

  14. The Forge of Weyland

    Technically the constitution of Belgium invests the title of king only in the descendants of Leopold I. Though it is obviously not impossible to change that kind of thing, it would technically be unconstitutional. On the wider question of authority the King of Belgium is technically a...

    It's allied propaganda, not actual war plans.

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

    So, when we talk about the USSR, the main elephant on the room is not the political repression or the military spending, but usually the planned economy who seems to be something irrational for modern times, so usually any modern USSR scenario has the Soviet Union adopting Chinese like reforms...
  17. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    Immediately, yes. Long term, the Berbers are gaining strength, and at some point a strong local King will probably kick the Romans out. Rome ITTL will be constantly warring with the Arabs, Lombards, and Slavs, so they'll be too distracted to stop it, most likely. So likely path is a a century...
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    Well: he has suffered a serious mental breakdown. Horrible position to be in, and he wasn't up to the stresses and strains.
  19. Well apparently it isn't a monarch given you think H7 was the best of the lot, so Arthur.

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

    One idea I've had for Schenk would be making it possible for him to finish laying the groundwork for an African state in Sudwestafrika. The final step would be installing enough Africans in leadership positions to be able to swiftly take over the RK. Then, if/when Schenk is murdered by Huttig...
