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

    The Lexingtons as CC were overblown versions of Courageous and Glorious as 'Light Battlecruisers' rather than the traditional 'heavy Battlecruiser' like a Kongo/Tiger/Lion and what Renown and Repulse were converted to when they were uparmoured with new belts. Their mission could be filled by...
  2. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Submarines were excluded for the Anglo-German Naval Agreement (i.e. no limits), and was signed mid 1935 (so, around 2 years into my suggested 6-7 to year ramp-up program, by which time the Nazi's would be launching around only a dozen or two a year. In fact, OTL 1935 they launched 14 , then in...

    Car WI: Nissan minus Infiniti and Renault, 300ZX maker buys Kawasaki, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Isuzu until the last three, plus Subaru, gone dead

    So, before or after you people end up posting replies in this thread here on this website, therefore I would show to you this article regarding Nissan: === Fear and reprisals: How Nissan crushed its Ghosn probe whistleblower - The Japan Times Nissan Motor Co.’s former top lawyer, who led an...

    Threadmarks: The Song of Susan

    Chapter 15; The Song of Susan Excerpt from Renegade Suit, the autobiography of David Lazer (with Jay O’Brian) Jim was devastated to learn about Richard Hunt’s and Howard Ashman’s illness, though at the time I only knew about Richard, who told me himself. Howard’s illness was a secret even to...

    Threadmarks: Johnson Jr.

    Gabriel Moore Johnson: 1913-1921 - The Herald In 1910, W.E.B Du Bois, the African-American humanist and intellectual, gave a speech in which he praised Liberia's history of democracy and civil order. In his own words 'the record of peace, efficiency and ability made by this little...
  6. UK General Election in 1938-39?

    The war breaking out didnt save him in OTL, almost up until the very moment the wartime Churchill coalition was formed there were tensions surrounding Attlee's leadership. He was ill for several months during 1939, hence why it was Arthur Greenwood and not Attlee who gave Labour's response to...
  7. Can the US keep the Lexington-class battlecruisers?

    So they would have served in the same fashion as the Kongos did for the IJN and the Renown did for the RN - Fast consorts to CVs?
  8. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The French started building the Maginot Line because they had a looming demographic problem vs Germany and that it was clear that GB and the US were not going to help France in any future war against Germany. Germany is not just building submarines - they are building weapons expressly...
  9. China does not take over Tibet

    The whole world did. Nobody recognized an "independent" Tibet. Yeah, but that's not my point. "Chinese" is what defines China, not the Han ethnicity who are merely a part of China.
  10. Could Germany have Caused a Reverse-Battle of Britain?

    The RAF had learnt all they needed to know by 1939: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Heligoland_Bight_(1939)
  11. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I would suggest that the secret was already out in 1929 (when the French started building the Maginot Line), and I seem to recall some annoying chap in Britain by the name of Churchill was for-ever warning of Nazi aggression ... By the time anyone has added up the 300 U-boats it's 1939/1940 and...
  12. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    Russia behaving rationally is not super common, historically. It;s what happens in complete autocracies with no competing power centers or any ability to limit or mitigate an autocrat's whims. Russia, TTL as in OTL, has spend centuries establishing what is possibly the most centralized autocracy...
  13. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The Anglo-German Naval Agreement was a very important political victory for Hitler. With the British consistently trying to have the submarine banned at every treaty there is no way a purely submarine strategy would work. The Germans themselves didn't believe the submarine was viable because...

  15. The Diamond Map Thread

    Diamond isn't a timeline, he was (and presumably still is) a person. Arguably the alternate history cartographer in the very early days of AH.com. Was banned years ago and a lot of his old maps were in danger of being lost due to being hosted either on now defunct sites or on very old versions...
  16. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The point is not that Thailand will help the VC/NVA, it's that there's no hard point to anchor this new DMZ's flank to. And all you've really done here is bring the issue to Thailand's porch Thailand might be one of the staunchest allies against communism at this point but it's not exactly...
  17. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Note I'm not saying 'in a couple of years you have 300' .. I'm suggesting starting in 1933 and building at an average rate of around 1 a week for 6 or 7 years, which will would indeed mean 300+ by mid/end of 1940, by which time rate should have ramped to 2 a week i.e. 100 a year. OTL the Nazi's...
  18. In a scenario where the byzantines are able to hold Syria and Egypt and repeal the arabs, can they hold the Exarchate of Africa?

    In the immediate future yes, easily enough. Beyond a century or two it is impossible to say. Not a very interesting answer, but long-term questions are basically unanswerable. There's thousands of possibilities, all of them plausible enough.

  20. China does not take over Tibet

    Frim an old soc.history.what-if post of mine: "According to Melvyn Goldstein's *A History of Modern Tibet, 1913-1951: The Demise of the Lamaist State* the Tibetans were actually willing to concede Chinese theoretical suzerainty for a while in the mid-1930's in return, however, for territorial...
