    East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    Lessened need for Nationalized Railroads, no Daylight saving time, no anti-German propaganda tht helped push along Prohibition, no Peacetime Draft. That's some of the positive. Negative is the Wright-Curtiss Patent War goes on unabated, rather than the Government taking all the Patents, and...
  2. A European "China"?

    Have Rome discover silver in Bohemia, colonize it, and move from there, down Elbe, Odra and Vistula. Putting limes on Carpathians and Vistula-Narew-Bug gives them half of Europe.
  3. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    Admiral Darlan was major Vichyite but even he chose to scuttle his fleet rather than hand it over to the Nazis.
  4. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    I probably have a much stronger anti-price control opinion than you, but you bring up an interesting point. Of course, for purposes of this discussion the decline in manufacturing jobs won't be too big of a factor, because by 1976 it won't have had a large enough effect to be a very large...

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    So Crittenden agrees to run, then.
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Germany was on the ropes, They wouldn't have lasted until August. The bomb won't be ready until August, but Germany would have gone down months before. Germany was on the rope by April, they wouldn't have stuck around another 4 months. Nope, my numbers include the total materiel lost in...
  7. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Where does this idea come from? This basically pushes the idea that somehow very few records remain from the Byzantine world, Italy or the rest of the Roman territories, this to seems a very unsubstantiated premise.
  8. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Oh, perfect, there you go.
  9. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Part of it is based on political conviction - Fermi had severe misgivings helping a potential enemy of his birth country develop a weapon like that, Einstein, Bohr and Jolliot basically opposed the idea on principle, and Kurchatov actually sabotaged the Russian effort (not that it was going...

    Remember the Rainbow Redux: An Alternate Royal Canadian Navy

    given what ive seen in the last few chapters in regard to the government using the militia on strikers, that wouldnt be much of a surprise to me to see in a newspaper at the time. i know corruption and contemept for the enviornment and local people was pretty common back then but hearing about...
  11. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Within the context of Bronze Age Europe, it was likely that things like writing, iron working and early states would appear in Greece first before the rest of Europe, but in terms of iron age Greece and things such as art and philosophy I don't think that was necessarily the case, mostly because...
  12. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Agreed. Shall we leave the discussion of the Crusades now?

    US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    For backstabbing their French ally? France is not the Netherlands. Hell, the US supported the Dutch in the Indonesian National Revolution at first. The difference was the Indonesians were not Communists and the Viet Cong obviously was. Also, France is MUCH bigger and more powerful than the...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Now I’m wondering why someone brought up Aquinas, who presumably lived in a world without bombers, in a thread about said bombers.

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Who says John Bell is going to be the Constitutional Union candidate? Although I'll admit it is going to be someone similar to him.
  16. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    Maybe they had an epiphany and realised they're not going to win a war against the US? But if they had, they'd also realise it would be a bad idea to go to war at all.
  17. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    Yeah, if Saddam wants avoid meaningful international retaliation, all he has to do is limit his invasion to seizing only the disputed region. The most that he would have gotten was some strongly worded letters. Instead, he got greedy and ultimately lost everything. And what are they going to...
  18. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Russia is not Uzbekistan. During Soviet period, Muslim republics were much more corrupted than Russia or Ukraine. Are you understand that you compare magnitudes (only diamonds and all resources)? Numbers that you led say about sustainability of resources economy model if future but not about...
  19. WI No Enlightenment?

    I feel like something that makes this tough is trying to specifically define the Enlightenment. All kinds of thinkers thought all sorts of things and had different views. Looking at the US Constitution and Articles of Confederation, the various governments of the French Revolution, and the...
  20. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Done that its not that fun especially if you’ve been been at sea in rough conditions throwing in german hunters after them and any sailor would want to get off. Heck a my ancestors on the Atlantic convoys used to love going to the USA because it allowed them to pretend that the war wasn’t going...
