  1. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Such an escalation wasn't politically viable from the very beginning, remember we have to ramp up our OTL presence in South Vietnam in 1965 as is Right but you were inferring the left had made this a morality play earlier than that I agree some did indeed relish it in that way. But that's not...

    AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Hi. Actually living in the Czech Republic, so wanted to chime in. Public support is very low for joining - I think it's only around 25, 30%. The prime minister is deeply phobic of anything that makes him unpopular, but I think he'd join it if he could for his business holdings. You get the...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    the coat of arms will include the dynastic coat of arms, with Waldemar, the hohenzollern coat of arms, so yes, the coat of arms would be changed.
  5. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Belisarius II is specifically saying that the United States and ARVN should not set up a defensive perimeter on the western frontier and should not fight a guerrilla war (or at least not the way they were fighting it) but should invade Laos to extend the DMZ across the Laotian panhandle to the...
  6. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Dont worry if you wrote a tl like this i will follow it to the best i can (btw will the coat of arms change too?
  7. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    I wonder if Armitage could be "convinced" that the betrayal would be all for the good of the Worm. I wonder if he dies by being sacrificed before Patton completes his union with the Worm, just as Armitage started sacrifice before completing his union with the Worm in the start of the TL.

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Prussian Militarism and Nepalese Militarism will inevitably mix imo. The parallels between the two are just too obvious. Both believed in the Army With a State Philosophy during this time. With a Hohenzollern on the throne Prussia would inevitably invest in the country. To counter Prussian...

    AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Greenland are all possible with a bit more EU joining and ambitious politicians. Croatia and Bulgaria are joining in a few years. There could be some monetary agreements with Kosovo and Montenegro (Still would not make them part of the Eurozone though) Poland...
  10. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I didn't even try to follow that part of the thread down the rabbit hole
  11. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    In that case what happens is that Prussian Militarism with Nepali and Hindu Traditions, The Waldemar can also help Nepal build more modern infrastructure, as such by lets say 1950s, when British Raj is independent, Nepal would be a much more developed country compared to India
  12. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Massaquoi

    Momulu Massaquoi: 1897-1913 - The Diplomat Zeppey was stood down for the 1897 election by the Party. He had been a useful figurehead, a way of proving that the True Whigs were not just a Monrovian party and convincing those in the interior to engage in the democratic process, but he was also...
  13. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    President Theodore Roosevelt had pushed through a number of laws designed to insure the safety of the American Food. Meat was inspected to insure that people would not suffer having rotten or infected food. The President went after Monopolies which tried to eliminate competition and...
  14. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Ah, OK, so you essentially meant that for Mary her brother is similar to Richard I and thus she saw name Richard as a good name for her son, despite Richard III also bearing it?

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Oh, I always thought he had reconciled with them for some reason. Guess I got that one wrong.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    To put it into more practical terms... is the expenditure of effort a willful act of murder that has no more other result than to instill "fear", or is the effort that kills civilians as the direct result, a byproduct of the main intended military result, to disrupt, dislocate and hopefully...
  17. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Agreed we set the stage for our own defeat. The U.S. Military is trained to fight decisive battles, not indefinite wars of attrition. We have tapes of LBJ talking to McNamara in 1965 saying the war was militarily unwinnable. If they thought that in 1965 why the hell did they go in to begin with...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    it would be quiet fun to write a timeline based on this, however i find that in this site, small obscure nations and their associated TLs which largely focus on country building rather than plain war don't get a lot of attention or views at all.
