  1. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    I can't speak about the possibility of Beria's victims being buried in the garden/basement. But I have always wondered about the incident with Stalin's daughter. From my understanding Beria was a utter and true monster. But he wasn't a complete moron. Actually raping Stalin's daughter with...
  2. Explain the AH Quote

    Part of a speech being given to a Christian scholar in a 1982 debate with how the religious figure tried to bring the importance of religion and against evolution's supposed support of selfishness. The counter-argument presented pointed out the opposite; that humanity's nature was cooperative...
  3. Rosenberg's Reich: The Myth of The Twentieth Century

    TTL, people are like "WI: President Eva Duarte". They'd be like "ASB, haw haw!"
  4. WI: Timur restores the Yuan to the throne of China

    I don't know much about the Timurids but I expect that this would be nigh impossible to do. But say all of the Ming's top generals and administrators get a sudden case of stupid just as Timur starts his campaign and the madman actually manages to pull it off. What happens afterwards?

    Philip V Manages to Successfully Intervene in the Second Punic War

    Was there any significant naval power who A. Would be friendly with Macedon and B. Would want Rome taken down a peg? I've yet to think of a candidate
  6. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    The Battle, had war come a year earlier it would have done well, had it mainly served in the Middle East it would have done well against the Italians, even in Malaya and Burma it would have done well until swamped by Oscars and Zeros as the Nates and Claudes that made up the bulk of the Japanese...
  7. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    I'm eating my metaphorical popcorn has I watch reverse uno Stalingrad. I say metaphorically because it is Passover and I can't have anything leavened.
  8. WI: Saddam and Khomeni were full allies

    So Saddam in 1978 expelled Khomeni from Iraq after Iranian agents notified him of a pro-soviet coup being attempted. I'd imagine this didn't go well with Khomeini and influenced him to call on Iraqi’s to overthrow him. What if say Saddam didn't expell him and Khomeni after taking control of Iran...
  9. Philip V Manages to Successfully Intervene in the Second Punic War

    The problem is that Rome did not have difficulties în finding allies to throw against Philip V and keep him sufficiently occupied în Greece. Also his fleet was inadecquate to contest Roman maritime supremacy so he could not transport 15-25.000 troops across the Adriatic. Hannibal is on his own...

    Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Was Stalin close with any of his children? I've read the relationship was strained at the very least.
  11. Photos of the New Order

    There wouldn't be. This world is sitting at preindustrial development, with greatly varying areas of industrialisation, and in some cases, even electricity. They are better off than medieval peasants, but not by a lot (this also varies greatly. Some areas are relatively unharmed by much of...
  12. A European "China"?

    I misunderstood the title of the post in the sense of Indo-Europeans migrating to OTL Chinese territory and creating a civilization in there.
  13. A New World Wreathed in Freedom - An Argentine Revolution TL

    I can imagine bullfighting would be like Japanese hunting for whales: frowned upon, but continued out of nothing but tradition.
  14. The German Century

    I think what we would mostly likely see are the old tsarist policies (Pales of Settlement and pogroms) being done on an industrial scale. A TTL Russian version of the Holocaust would mostly likely be multiple Kristallnachts and Jews shipped to the desolate wastes of Siberia.
  15. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Did All Andalusi Romance was replaced by Arab by now? I thought would still exist, regardless the written language is Arab anyway
  16. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    The He100D-1 had classic cooling. By the time it was in pre production the Bf109F was in the works and there was no real need for it. The DB 601 was not powerful enough for the FW190. They used the DB 603 and the Jumo 213 when they were ready. They had a 30 ton tank for 41, the VK 30-01, and...
  17. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    What ball, what road? If you had a front line running from the SCS, to the Thai border the NVA has to launch a conventional frontal assault. That's what the U.S. Military is best at, force on force, brute firepower. They'd destroy the NVA in a stand up fight. With almost no support from the...
  18. A European "China"?

    Give someone in Europe 2000 years to do the usual business and they will get similar results.
  19. Photos of the New Order

    The idea of their being wiki boxes following a nuclear war seems strange
  20. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    They weren't "State sanctioned" in the sense that their was an outright law stating Beria was free to hunt teen age girls for sport. They were most definitely state sanctioned during the Stalin era in the sense that Stalin pretty clearly was aware of what Beria was up to (as shown in Stalin's...
