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

    Remember, post 1914 the old order in the army is dead, the army is now a national militia not the old order gendarmes, if anything soldier would not come happy and they knew it, of course will not be easy but the political party knew this and are still organize for the next election, plus after...

    Threadmarks: Groups A-D 2019-20

    Group A saw the resurgence of Uruguay, as the Celeste made their way to the top of the group without much opposition. For Switzerland, the story wasn't as good, as the usually well-off Nati instead fell last, leaving Sweden to finally qualify for the Round of 16, with Slovakia clinching a World...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Hindenburg didn't care about power? He might not have, but German and Prussian conservatives sure did. Germany was indeed a democracy of a sort. I'm skeptical however of a late war victory resulting in a stable democracy

    Middle Roman Empire

    Hmm... someone should do an alternate timeline in which the Roman Empire is divided into three parts. While some ficus could be shared between the Western and Eastern empires, the Middle Empire would be the main focus Not volunteering myself, as I'm already draft-writing on Notepad an alternate...
  5. Conservative Democrats in the 1990s?

    Al Gore wasn't considered a conservative Democrat in his time- he was what was sometimes called a 'New Democrat' which is sometimes maligned as being a retreat from New Deal liberalism (and therefore, conservative) but was something else altogether (Gary Hart was one of them and had a certain...
  6. AHC: Unite a continent.

    I personally prefer the "greater continental mass, lesser continental mass" schema that the Race used in the Worldwar series.
  7. AHC: Unite a continent.

    Absolutely, India was just an example, but the underlying problem is that any definition of what is or isn't continent is purely one of politics. (Western) European exceptionalism is what drives the notion that Europe and Asia are somehow separate entities when there has quite literally never...

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

    I don't disagree with you at all! ...Ehhhhh, good point. BUT I STILL WANT DIVINE IN THERE SOMEWHERE! :P
  9. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    But you have so weakened France that if Germany breaks the treaty (just like every other one they have done) France will fall easily, so the UK has given up too much for nothing. That is your fundamental flaw. You pretend Germany is out of France, when you have so weakened France that Germany...
  10. Vietnam WI: Diem without his brother?

    On the other hand, the continued rule of Madame Nhu might mean more support for the South Vietnamese gasoline industry.
  11. AHC: Unite a continent.

    Therefore, New Zealand is also a continent.
  12. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    That make sense, Hidenburg didn't care about power, without him ludendorff is powerless and Germany already was a democracy pre war, the longer the war, the more power the old nobility loss, but no one would have cared about it France going revanchist again, either commie or poor's man nazi is...

    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Yes, i know South Vietnam had minorities who were repressed by the North Vietnamese government. And while the removal of the merchant class in the south was bloody, they eventually sprung back into existence through the Doi Moi reforms because Vietnam was not a capitalist economy prior, and the...
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    I'm fairly sure that the officers were at least on them, as during some of their defences on the war crimes i think they tried to claim that they were on so much pervatin, and so little sleep, that they couldn't be expected to deal with any reports of potential war crims happening in their area...
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Personally, I think Pat Carrol did a great job as is. But if a casting change needs to be in order, then the actress they wanted to play her, Bea Arthur(AKA: Dorothy Zbornak) would be grand. I mean, she already had ties with the company thanks to her pretty much carrying The Golden Girls on her...
  16. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    Now that we're talking about German guns, seems like they used 5 (five) different ammo types of 88mm calibre. Talk about waste.
  17. AHC: Unite a continent.

    If India is a continent, (which as you say geologically it has a greater claim to continenthood than Europe) then Arabia and Central America are as well, they are separate plates from their parent continents as well.
  18. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    When Algeria fell what happened? I forget. Please remind me of how stable the post war French state was.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Germany somehow coming out of a late victory 1917-1918 as a stable managed democracy.
