  1. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    America had been planning for a war to dominate the Pacific since Perry. While the urgency waxes and wanes it is basically institutional by the 40s.
  2. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    There's a few interesting pull quotes from Gallup's polling about the Pacific theater that I went through here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/what-if-japan-only-declared-war-on-britain-and-the-netherlands-and-not-the-usa.498705/post-21194779 Most notably:
  3. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Britain won't go to war over a few U-boats, but Britain might back France going to war over the Rhineland or go to war over Munich or over Anschluss if it's obvious that the Nazis are gearing up to attack GB. Great Britain had a number of strong casus bellis during the Nazi[s rise that it chose...
  4. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    No it hasn't. Britain will have only lost the war if German troops are goose stepping down The Mall. Losing the BEF is a blow, but not a fatal one so long as the RN controls the seas.
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Will the Jim Henson Company ever merge with ABC in the future? I just imagine Eisner wanting to be head of that channel one day?
  6. AHC: Unite a continent.

    You would need to delay independence as much as you can, so that you can enjoy the benefits of better means of transportation.
  7. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    I tend to agree. I am, however, very interested in the prospect of the "winglets" being anhedralled, instead of dihedralled. Would that have had the same aerodynamic effect? Would it have conferred a benefit, too? (I'm going to presuppose the oversight in the design process that led to their...
  8. AHC: Unite a continent.

    Britan probably wouldn't stand a chance fighting a war for the Falklands against a united South America, specially if they are, as in OTL, an empire in decay who has lost its colonies. They would probably just sell it, together with Guyana.
  9. AHC: Unite a continent.

    Well no Napoleonic Wars would mean Latin America would remain unified into the late 1800s at least, so the idea of a Spanish South American Federation is possible
  10. AHC: Unite a continent.

    All of them would be very hard, I'm just saying North America would be the second, after the easiest Oceania. I agree there's a considerable gap in easiness between the first and the second places.

    AHC: Unite a continent.

    This might have actually happened! South America was divided between Portugal and Spain, but they were under personal union from 1580-1640, so you could make the argument that South America was united under one polity during that time. The Falklands weren't colonized yet, so that wouldn't be a...

    AHC: Unite a continent.

    North America would be incredibly hard due to so many factors all through history that make it incredibly hard.
  13. AHC: Unite a continent.

    The thing is, this already happened, so I assume Op is referring to something that lasts until today.
  14. AHC: Unite a continent.

    The easiest one is Oceania, Britain could've conquered it all. The second would've to be North America, basically have the US conquer all of Mexico and Canada.
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Can Turner make a deal with Warner Bros, and the Jim Henson Company in the future to air portions of their cartoon liberties on a potential future Cartoon Network? @OldNavy1988
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Well there is empire intenral pcitures but they went out bussiness in 1986 otl. I still think there is a change to save them. You also forgot Samuel gownlne Torma and Canno group Ted turner still needs an animaiton studio I belicve abc is for sale. I would go turner wanre News corp Henson...

    Remember the Rainbow Redux: An Alternate Royal Canadian Navy

    Very much so, British Columbia seems to be a fairly large hotbed for discrimination and large amounts of abuse towards the local environment. Leipzig's little journey will definitely work to shake up the collective mindset of Canada at large that they "are safe" from any foreign power, sadly I...
  18. AHC: Unite a continent.

    I think everyone is missing the easiest pod. Portugal and Spain remains in a personal Union, allowing Spain to control all of South America, besides Suriname and Guayana

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Assuming Disney buys NBC than they could also have access to David S. Pumpkins:
  20. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Turkish Petroleum Company was (is) a private company. The British government doesn’t have a big enough share in the conglomerate to stop it. They can threaten and may even get the A-P oil company to withdraw (they owned 51%) but doing so would just give Germany more power.
