    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Hmm I suppose, France would be more distracted defending it's Lowland territories.
  2. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    I think in the scenario where France gets Burgundy - and therefore has to deal with Low Countries unrest, and Low Countries are a lot richer than Britanny, so France would request from Breton duke not meddling and paying lip service to Paris - keeping the Low Countries would be seen as more...
  3. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Building 300 u-boats says 'I'm coming to attack you...again...in the same way you beat me last time'. Not much more simple than that. To the OP - removing the safety on Gen Halder's pistol or anything easier to let him pop Hitler before 1940 will be a big improvement. Failing that - whatever...

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    I'd love to see that scenario (I've seen people claim he suggested such a match while in Brittany in OTL), but sadly it's a bit of a stretch, it causes Brittany to become isolated from both France and England.

    That, and/or they thought that any enemy coming that far would be so exhausted they wouldn't have the forces?
  6. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    And I think that nuanced France-wank would be a nice counter to that, maybe with Henry Tudor marrying Anne of Britanny and house of Toudour becoming Breton ducal ruling house.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I stayed in Corinth several years ago and was quite excited when we left to go to Athens to look at the canal, but foolishly hadn't anticipated that driving across it on a motorway would mean I didn't see much for long. Had we not been en route to the airport I would have turned around. Anyway...

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    A region that tries to break from France regularly? That could work. Especially since York scenarios result in a France-Screw a lot of the time.

    China does not take over Tibet

    These reforms happened on paper only. My grandmother was from Tibet, and was the daughter of a 'freed' slave. Nothing changed about their actual practical situation and her family along with many others fled into Sinkiang, Bhutan, India and Nepal (my grandmother came to Nepal). Nothing changed...

    Looking at that, with some proper fortifications set up on one side of it, it would be hell to cross. I suppose the reason the Greeks never built any was because if somebody got that far it was all over anyway?
  11. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    The reparation bill presented to the Germans in 1921 added up to a grand total close to 300% of her GNP of 1913. All these reparations were largely, though not entirely, due on top of the seizures of German foreign assets and of deliveries in kind. Reparation demands came in three portions...
  12. China does not take over Tibet

    To recycle a old post of mine... ---- First off, Tibet would be a theocracy. In the early 20th Century until (I think) the 1940s, Tibet was still keeping serfs in a state of slavery and would amputate limbs as punishment for offences. The 13th Dalai Lama attempted to bring Tibet out of the...
  13. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Maybe, unbeknownst to Ben & Wim, Black Knight III may well end up stuffed and mounted in the Luftwaffe Hall at the Military Museum on Fischer Island as the ride of Uhlan the Jabo Ace & his back seater Risky.
  14. List Political Parties of Alternate Countries

    Here is a USSR from a project I've been working on for a while: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Government: Defensive democratic federal parliamentary republic With the original vision of Bolsheviks for the USSR being an actual federation of equal socialist republics, with the admittance...

    Well, I think Burgundy could end up like Brittany
  16. Horus Triumphant - an Alternate Antiquity timeline

    Philip was born after the establishment of the Argead Empire and has been raised with the idea that he would one day rule over a vast multiethnic realm, so he is quite well aware that his empire wouldn't survive if he offends too many of his subjects. He also hasn't ruled for very long yet, so...
  17. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Fair enough on the territory. As far as the indemnity and occupation though, that aspect was harsher. The only reason the Germans didn't put such restrictions on France's military was because the defeat, occupation, and indemnity were expected to basically end them as a major power. I...

    It will delay them as long as it takes to get enough bridge parts to make a rigid span to cross a 27m chasm (plus enough extra to act as a counter-balance). True. But if the bridges are out, it will still take a not-insignificant amount of time to build a bridge, especially one capable of...
  19. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Sorry, but this simply isnt true. The RN were no more obsessed with battleships than any other major navy, in fact they were a lot less so than, for example, Japan. The submarine danger was certainly not ignored, they trained and exercised. Now true, there were some mistakes made here, which led...
