  1. Nations that could have join the Axis powers during WW2?

    Late in 1940 the Germans tried to get the USSR to join the Axis but Stalin's price was too high for them.
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 5- 15 March 1941. Sudan.

    5- 15 March 1941. Sudan. The Matilda II Infantry Tanks of 42nd Bn RTR hadn’t been designed for the kind of terrain that they’d found themselves in. The 4th and 5th Indian Infantry Divisions had been using the tanks for roles that no one had ever thought of. The fighting was primarily an...

    Flag Thread V

    Reminds me of 'The First Men in the Moon' by H.G. Wells - he calls the natives of the moon 'Selenites' - so you're in good company!
  4. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I'm glad. At the end of the day this is what it's all about.

    WI: Timur restores the Yuan to the throne of China

    Honestly, if we are at the point where Timur is actually making a successful invasion of the Ming in the late 1300s, he is far more likely to take the region for himself than prop up some puppet ruler. Whether victory is feasible or not is another matter, and we are really in a race against time...
  6. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    Wotcher, So many people are dead. So many 30 years rules have passed. So many NSW Police have retired. The Iron Law of Disco has fallen before the Iron Law of New Wave which rapidly looks to be threatened by the Iron Law of Party Rap leading inevitably towards the Iron Law of Grunge. It may...

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I still do not want Nixon to win. Brown was right about the solution there, though the comparison might have been better left off. Servicemen's Readjustment and Protection Act of 1962- great act, shame about the end date, and that racism still crept into combat personnels provisions! Latin...

    Ottomans in CP Victory?

    True. They would indeed. However unlike the APOC, the TPC was not a conglomerate and despite shares, the government in Istanbul controlled all of the oil distribution. Which is why i think the British will not give up their shares. They need the oil, and will keep the shares as a means of...
  9. Best President USA never had (20th century edition)

    If we are talking about "VPs who plausibly could have reached office due to a vacancy" Thomas Marshall would be an obvious possibility. He would be far more likely than Wilson to agree to reservations necessary to get the Versailles Treaty ratified and the US in the League. (How much...

    Nations that could have join the Axis powers during WW2?

    If the Yugoslavian coup by the allies failed then that could have helped quite a bit, with an axis-aligned Yugoslavia. Fewer delays and more troops
  11. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    May I say that I'm enjoying this? And that I prefer Nixon to Brown and do not like Bobby Kennedy?
  12. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    But would that have mattered much in the long run? Iirc Hamlin, as a Senator in 1872, went with the majority in lifting most of the disabilities iimposed on ex-Rebs by Sec 3 of the 14th Amendment. He too wanted to reconcile the South. And there was no way of doing that w/o leaving them a pretty...

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    So in 1483, Edward IV of England and Margaret Beaufort had just completed talks on allowing Henry Tudor (later King Henry VII) to return to England, with him being restored to his Earldom, being made the heir to his Mother's estates and even potentially being married to a daughter of Edward IV...
  14. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    That's a fair point, but controlling the shares would give the British government controlled company financial leverage which would allow them to be obstructive if the peace was contentious. The scenario as the OP lays it out doesn't align with OTL aftermath of WWI so would we see an ATL Treaty...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Well, we do know that due to foreshadowing, that the Crusaders will take Egypt eventually. But, you are right, there's no reason to assume that this particular invasion will be successful - in fact, if it is, then I don't see the Crusaders gaining the entirety of Egypt. That is, of course...
  16. Roger Taney Dies, 1855

    As were Juatices Wayne, Catron and Gries, who had also joined the Dred Scott majority. He will still get aome flak for Dred Scott, but his wartime loyalism will go a long way toward rehabilitating him.
  17. Have the Austin Metro be more successful

    It was quite successful as it was. According to the AROnline website 2,078,218 were made 1980-97 and was BMC/British Leyland/Austin-Rover/Rover Group's third best selling car. (The Mini was the best-seller and ADO16 was the second best-seller). IMHO the Allegro, Marina/Ital, Princess/Ambassador...

    "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    I'M BACK. Now to answer PMs. lol After 1,457,382 delays thanks to my shitty luck and health, I am back in form, hopefully. lol This update really shows that old Georgy boy has really let his ailments totally dominate his self-perception and his sanity has flown a little too close to the fire...

    Iraq if Germany and Rashid Ali had acted more decisively in April-May 1941? https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/germany-and-rashid-ali-act-more-decisively-april-may-1941.389692/#post-12464964
  20. The Forge of Weyland

    Everyone thought they'd already sunk it because they'd seen oil and wreckage, he makes them continue the search because he doesn't believe it. He's right (I rewatched it on Saturday because it was on ITV2 or More4 or something :D)
