  1. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    What makes you think that these would have been good for the USSR? There are a lot of ways for detente and liberalization to go wrong; they destroyed the USSR OTL. Furthermore, it takes two to tango. Even if Beria wants a neutral, unified Germany, the West will reject it for the same reasons as...
  2. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Perhaps Germans would be more light handed because their puppets are,after all,white europeans. But I don't understand the “Germany less interest in land” rhetoric. Soviets OTL didn't annex any polish-majority land except Vilnius which is a very special case,while Germany occupied Poznan and...
  3. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    It depends on when you are talking about. In the late 19th century, for example, most colonies would be too weak to avoid reconquest or alternative colonization by another great power.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    In the span of one comment you have moved the goal posts and only responded to one of the three points I raised. If you're going to admit to having misspoke you should just be upfront about it.

    AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Wank Sebastian I of Portugal’s crusade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Alcácer_Quibir Instead of dying, he successfully puts Abu Abdullah on the throne. Abdullah relies increasingly on Portuguese support to maintain his realm, eventually evolving into a de facto Portuguese client...
  6. China does not take over Tibet

    China isn't going to let the source of some of their most important rivers be an independent country.
  7. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Bravo! Glad to see a fitting successor to the veritable Space Transportation System, this TL is an absolute dream for Shuttle fans, seeing it fulfil it's potential. Although I've gotten a gist of what the Shuttle-II looks like, anyone want to do a quick-n-dirty render (or even a sketch) of what...
  8. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    What would stop the colones rebelling and establishing nations of there own while the colonizers are busy..
  9. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    I'd describe them as being more socially liberal than past democrats but aware of the how their views weren't the norm (so they were incrementally socially progressive), fonder of markets in general, more excited about technology, and generally wanting more liberal social policy (health and...

    That was awesome! Great job!
  11. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Electoral College system is still a democratic system,albeit flawed from hindsight,but in German Empire the Chancellor was simply appointed by the monarch.
  12. What if the Russian SFSR survived?

    Continuing to be a socialist state might make Russia lose some points with the West in the short term, but considering where Russia is now, nearly anything would be an improvement over Putin and his cabal. Honestly, it's a bit impressive how much Putin has been able to economically and...

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

    A lot to unpack and much of it which may be wrong. MOO. YMMV. 1. ICE research to make lightweight high performance aero engines. Jets and rockets are a desperate post 1940 grasp at straws which are uncertain. Germany has to score a series of knockouts or she will be stomped. Her best chance is...
  14. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I don't think the puppet kingdoms would be to that extent. Resource extraction won't be possible like how it is in your examples, with the people sidelined. Germany doesn't have the support base to pull that off anyways, in my opinion, and would mainly be concerned with security, taking less of...
  15. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Work well compared to who I think is the question. Compared to present day Syria for example, it would probably be great. Compared to present day America, it probably wouldn't be all too good. I think its easy enough to envision it pulling through the crisis' of the late '80s/early '90s in some...

    Is this yours or someone else's job? If it's yours, I'd say you done a good job.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Oh I see. So until the second son comes of age, Edward V will be ruling Brittany for Anne then.
  18. Speculum Telescopes in Antiquity

    The use of parabolic mirrors to concentrate light was known in antiquity, as the apocryphal incident of Archimedes setting Roman ships on fire attests. Speculum metal, an alloy of copper and tin, was used for reflecting telescopes before the invention of silvering techniques. What if some...

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    So what would he repeatedly blow up instead of the White House? The Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace, the Reichstag?
  20. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Does real life Capitalist puppet state,be it military junta banana republic,or reactionary monarchy like Saudis or Thailand,have really more political freedom and representation?
