  1. China does not take over Tibet

    ...reluctantly agreed to recognize the MPR's independence after a "referendum" solemnly validated by Chinese observers--487,409 for independence, *zero* for being part of China! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_independence_referendum,_1945 But after it became clear that Stalin was...
  2. 'The Changes'

    Yes, Survivors would be post-watershed these days. As would much of Blakes 7 and many other shows. Into the Labyrinth was another of those weird HTV series that was aimed at children but rather disturbing.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    True, he probably just sucks it up then or just requests Burgundy goes to a second son.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Because there is a difference between Person A marrying Person B and a Breton fishing boat making it across the Atlantic and the crew not dying before reaching the New world. I am not arguing for it. I am literally saying it's not impossible, just highly unlikely. I have literally made a tree...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Don't you mean "would?" If lots of paratroopers die early they won't be able to land on Crete in May.
  6. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    I think the opposite is just as likely. The Euro has been a German tool to depress the currency they use - previously the Mark was subject to periodic revaluations. Conversely, the opposite is true with the southern European economies of Spain, Italy and Greece. The latter had a lot of...
  7. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    And what better option does he have? And Philip could die in around 1500, when Charles and Meg might have their own children and the annulment would be impossible.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Max would probably abort the marriage at that point. No way in hell he'd allow the French to inherit Burgundy.
  9. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Edward probably won't marry a York to Tudor but yet you say it can happen. Then why are you arguing for it? Why do you do so in all the threads involving Tudor coming back? And I said estate not treasury, Edward granted so much land to his in laws, his brothers, et al that the crown estate was...
  10. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Charles VIII for Meg would be interesting, especially if Philip died before he could have any children and now Charles would be duke of Burgundy.
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Trying to hold it might commit some (all?) of the available German airborne force to hold a bridgehead to allow a decent bridge to be bullt. That wouldn't help Crete
  12. WI: Heydrich Succeeds Hitler in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    Has happened in.fiction. I believe that Hitler would have outlived Goering and Heydrich succeeded him.
  13. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    They sure did: Pete Dawkins and Laurie Pritchett
  14. The Quarter-BAM project

    Here's a version of the map with Atlantropa for all your TNO needs.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Except it literally isn't. The boat carrying him probably couldn't hold together in Wild Atlantic waters. I have acknowledged a York girl is most likely not occurring and he's probably marrying Elizabeth de la Pole. As for his Beaufort inheritance I don't see why that would be confiscated...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    Given the stress of the situation, and his actions up till now, it didn't seem a totally unreasonable thing for Leopold to do
  17. AHC: wank the Milesian school

    The Milesian school was a pre Socratic school of thought in ancient Greece which believed that the world is governed by laws that can be uncovered and described by humans. How can we make this school of thought as popular as possible?
  18. Q: Would Hitler still be the man we know if he wasn't kicked out of art school?

    Rohm out of Germany in late 20s. Take away Hitler and I believe democracy manages to survive.
