  1. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    But they will be revived as Minor League Teams in Triple-A or Double-A when we get to the 1920's and New Orleans could be part of the New Southern League in Double-A with a Team from Atlanta and Birmingham

    Map Thread XX

    The Algerian Revolution Beginning in March 2011, in the context of the Arab Spring, protests erupted in Algiers against Bouteflika's erratic reign, the poor economic situation and mismanagement of public founds. Those protests, who started being peaceful, quickly escalated to a countrywide...

    WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Juana la Loca was 19 when she had her first kid, but I also think that having your first kid at 16 is perfectly acceptable for royalty of this period, especially since Henry VIII will likely be very concerned to get grandkids ASAP given that he has no 'spare'.
  4. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    A France free of Germans would be priceless in British eyes. The Germans would evacuate the channel ports which would eliminate the threat of an imminent invasion and stop a potential aerial bombardment. Plus the Brits tried to take the entire German fleet in WWI so a German demand for half...

    Who could have been the most chaotic, insane and "lost" American president ever if elected?

    Ok, so here a candidate Curtis LeMay Did you ever heard of his gaffe about nuclear bombs? If not take a look at this video at 18,55
  6. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    You vastly overestimate what special forces can do. Stopping a port from being useful requires lots of explosives and ideally heavy equipment and trained engineers, it isn't something a few guys can do with what they can carry. Any damage they can do is the sort that can be fixed fairly rapidly...
  7. Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    Why did DeLorean use stainless steel? Was it cheaper? Easier to work with? I agree that the plain metal look does stand out but there were many complaints about how easy it dented and how hard it was to put right. I think many more customers would have appreciated an actual colour choice...

    WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Didn't Joanna, the Aunt of Maria give birth at a similar age? 16 wasn't an uncommon age to have children too back then.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Ok that was unexpected² Right Yeah, this is the event that made me stop and think "What the hell..." Well, ok you won

    The Plantagenet Succession

    That is also fun to say too!
  11. Who could have been the most chaotic, insane and "lost" American president ever if elected?

    Gen Macarthur would have been a fun guy especialy with Gen Patton as VP. Doctor Strangelove would have been a documentary.
  12. No Soviet Invasion in the 1939 Polish Campaign

    Poles last a little bit longer, Soviets are a little bit less prepared, but have the benefit of their defensive fortifications.
  13. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Given how fucked in the head he was, it's entirely possible he did have such a fetish. It's been seen in similar sociopaths before like John Wayne Gacy burying all those bodies in his crawlspace. Are there any plausible alternate explanations for how they got there? Because it is, to say the...
  14. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Whilst I see what you're saying, I think this is more to do with the internal politics of the Stalinist USSR. Getting bodies off his property and to somewhere where they could be disposed of 'professionally' widens the circle of people involved. People were looking to take him down - When...
  15. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Why would socialist America even want to be part of the Internationale and their wars? It's been mostly isolationist for decades and people wouldn't be in the mood for foreign adventures after all the shit they went through. It's probably not a good fit for Kaiserreich as it is right though, you...
  16. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    How about Europeans' movable type printing? I guess it would come soon. I feel interested about why did European Renaissance come so late in this timeline. As we know, the flourishing of handicraft industry provided the economic basis for the Renaissance; economic prosperity prompted the lords...
  17. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Japan and Germany are also much MUCH more compact though, which allows for better infrastructure, as well as better investment opportunities. Also density helps with capital accumulation
  18. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Two issues here : Firstly, I don't actually like any of those people you mentioned. Secondly, we're not talking about left-wing nationalism (which is typically utilized by oppressed groups in a non-chauvinistic/non-supremacist manner) or even the more banal kinds of liberal civic nationalism...
  19. A European "China"?

    I think the question is why was China able to integrate so many peoples into its home culture while a European state was unable to. The Roman identity was the closest it ever got but even that conception probably doesn't reach the same level I forgot to mention that some of this may be a myth...
  20. WI: Napoleon becomes a dual Emperor of France and Germany

    He doesn't need to abolish the aristocracy. The German Empire under Napoleon doesn't need to turn into a copycat of the French Empire, at least not at first.
