  1. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    It's well known that he was Elizabeth's favorite. Then this happens,. WI: Elizabeth figures she can't marry Dudley for political reasons. However, they still fool around and have an accident around 1561. Why 1561? Well, look at this blurb from Elizabeth's Wiki: Supposedly this "illness"...
  2. WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Hell, look at the Howards - most of them married young and had a metric fuck-tonne of babies, so being married at 16 is, back then, hardly "concerning".
  3. No Soviet Invasion in the 1939 Polish Campaign

    If I recall the Polish were already in full retreat and disarray by the time the Red Army rolled in.
  4. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    I don't think the Japanese Army could avoid committing a long list of warcrimes which would quickly sour the US public opinion, reports of murdered white civilians and soldiers would quickly emerge. Furthermore assuming the US is providing a high level of support to the Dutch, British and...
  5. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    I agree that as more facts about the Armenian Genocide become known to the (German) public, it will affect German-Ottoman relations. These will get more complicated. But whether it really helped the Armenians ... Ultimately, oil interests take precedence over human rights, as the OTL history of...
  6. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    I don't know if Dewey would lose in 1952. Even if Korea still happens (and that is far from certain), Dewey shouldn't be plagued by the communism and corruption issues that also damaged Truman, so Dewey will be in a much stronger position come 1952 than Truman was. But even if the...

    No Soviet Invasion in the 1939 Polish Campaign

    Maybe Poland still loses.

    Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    Getting back to the DeLorean car company, the building of the facility in Northern Ireland wasn't ideal but as the people building the cars got more experience I doubt that the initial problems with build quality would remain. If it does, then replace the Dunmurry plant, but the building of the...

    AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    BOLOs and OGREs
  13. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Latin Western Europe in the Middle Ages was hugely interested in what Greek heritage had been preserved though Arabic and, even more critically, in the Arabic original elaborations upon it. Direct Greek-to-Latin transmission also was there, of course. The two complemented each other.
  14. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    All the good and popular things regarding Beria such as unification of Germany and various other territorial concessions are most probably made up by those who killed him rather than his own ideas. He was a cowardly lecher with power he abused and he’d be the same at head of Soviet Union.
  15. John the Baptist's movement survives, Jesus' doesn't.

    Assuming he did his miracles
  16. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    In the Middle East, Aristotle, Alexander and Plato at least are known well enough. Leonidas probably less so, but this has to do with choices made a lot more recently.
  17. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Even if it wasn't, over Vietnam, anything that produced less smoke than the J79 would be a benefit. ;)
  18. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    It is my understanding, that the synthetic fuel industry was hugely expensive and produced far to little for too much investment. Those money would have been a lot better used on creating a huge strategic reserve of natural oil, rubber and tungsten, enough to last at least 3 years of intense...
