  1. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Germany going full dictatorship. It was more democratic than either france or britain at the beginning of ww1 (universal male voting for reichstag) Septemberprogramm Belgium becoming flanders wallonia. Niederdeutschland is more realistic long term (bavaria wanted Belgium to use as a bavarian...

    They weren't called the "crown jewel of the Empire" for nothin'
  3. Nations that could have join the Axis powers during WW2?

    I doubt they would have lasted very long or contributed much.
  4. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Yeah, we would all like to find a POD that keeps Stalin out of eastern europe ... whilst still leading to a Nazi defeat and thus avoiding the Holocaust .. Hitler posponed his invasion of Poland for about a week when the British & French announced the Polish Guarantee .. what if Hitler had held...
  5. With a PoD starting from 350 AD, make a revival of Egyptian Paganism Possible

    I looked it up and it's not a history book but a "religion" book that in many ways takes great influence from neo-paganism written by a husband and wife couple of which the wife was an arch priestess of the "Fellowship of Isis" and the husband a professor of philosophy at Warnborough College and...

    Transformers: The Movie Released on December 5, 1986. Production Companies Nelvana Hasbro Productions Distributor TriStar Pictures The voice cast is mostly the same as OTL. Optimus Prime lives, but he is battered and bruised heading into the next season of the TV series.
  7. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    I don't have a problem with the idea of a revolution breaking out in France. One did in 1871, after all, at least in Paris. I don't even have a problem with the monarchy collapsing in Britain in these timelines. I have a problem with it being successful and installing a recognizable communist...
  8. WI: Suge Knight stays in the NFL

    Suge Knight originally wanted to be a football player, but after his football career failed to take off, he entered the music publishing business, co-founding Death Row Records and helping catapult gangsta rap into the spotlight. Of course, he's more well-known for his violent antics, and is...

    Nations that could have join the Axis powers during WW2?

    Aside from the countries already mentioned and, depending on how successful the Axis might have become, I could see Egypt and Iran as possible Axis allies. The Arab population in the British mandate of Palestine might have been very helpful to the Germans if they had broken through to them...
  10. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    ...scholarship that shows the infant industries argument doesn't hold water. Quite simply, people put factories and industries in places for a *reason,* because that's where it's most economically advantageous to do so. Maybe it has a lot of a given resource that is needed, maybe it has...
  11. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    You can't hold the line with economy of force* because the line (unless it's literally a brick wall with soldiers standing on top across the country which would take a huge number of resources and men and so be no one's idea of economy of force) will be infiltrated. Plus you basically just...
  12. China does not take over Tibet

    I think the most plausible way to avoid the PRC takeover is the Mongolian solution: become an independent Communist state under the protection of the USSR, with the PRC recognizing it on the USSR’s request. This probably doesn’t change much until the Sino-Soviet split, which could get bloody...
  13. When was the Levant and Egypt lost/unconquerable to the Romans/Byzantines?

    The elite were, but the population was something like a bit under half Coptic-speaking Christians in the 10th-13th centuries.
  14. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    And with Aerosmith singing a few Robert Palmer songs when we get to the 1980's who will sing "Simply Irresistible" ITTL? Probably Debbie Gibson or Tiffany or maybe Alyssa Milano? But will wait and see when we get to the late 80's maybe ITTL that song will hit #1 as opposed to Robert Palmer's...

    What happened to The Age of Monsters? In your last post on that thread you said that you'd have a new chapter up in a month... that was in 2019. Did you abandon the story, or are just suffering from writer's block?

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    what i meant to say is that internationally vietnam in my opinion would be rather neutral but let's agree to stop this comment chain nah they were the party of the intellectuals and they were gutted by the french in the 1930s, anyways, with the last of them being further gutted by the...

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

    I'll note that to my mind the biggest missed opportunities of Germany were DIPLOMATIC. If they can keep the UK and France neutral, at least, whilst Nazi Germany launches some kind of 'Crusade against Communism' they don't need to worry about how to force the UK to surrender or blockades against...
