  1. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    As I said just look how much of our modern vocabulary dedicated to intellectual life derives from Greek. Everywhere from medicine to astronomy to politics you see tons of Greek words, not even Latin ones. You see major works written on Greek some 300 years before a major literary work was...
  2. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Whether or not the rape victims claimed during Beria's criminal case that they were harmed physically or not, there are studies where the rates of immediate physical injury range from 30-50% depending on the study. You need to get better educated on what occurs to rape victims before parroting...
  3. WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    This is only going to get things worse. Now France has to care about a jungle on the other side of the world and defend it against China and communism. And who said the Indochinese even want to be French? If the British couldn't create a Federation between its white dominions then it's going...

    The Forge of Weyland

    ^^^ I don't know when the ground thaws in Northern Norway, or more importantly when it dries up enough for tanks to traverse open ground, without sinking in to the point of being mired. (That happened with some of the OTL tanks at Narvik).. I'd guess that by the end of May much ground should...
  5. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I mean... Authoritarian nationalists think that things would run smoother if they were allowed to just run things the way they want. Progressives are trying to build something that resembles functioning democracy. Should we have more text explaining why the nationalists do what they do because...
  6. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    Speaking of this land based compinent, why not putting the fightersquadrons on theMidway Islands in th game, Replace the totally obsolete F2A Buffalo fighters as well as the not that potent F4F-3 fighters by true fighters, like the contemporary Spitfire Mk-V, which at this time was more than...

    AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Linguistically, sure, just due to being on the edge of where the phoenecians were. But i would argue that, because western law and ideas of rulership comes far more from Rome, who were influenced by the Persians in the early days (albeit by proxy of Macedon), and Christianity specifically...

  10. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Well, you gotta smash the power of the landlords somehow, or the peasantry is going to hate you forever. In Taiwan, the Nationalists had the luxury of the former landlords being colonists who simply returned to Japan after the war, leaving a lot of land to be handily redistributed. If anyone has...
  11. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    I suppose that any prisoner captured was later executed by beheading, impaled, and grilled, as customary in the Poultry Wars.
  12. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    1. No, not really. Eisenhower was very reluctant to enter the political arena; it took a significant amount of pressure and disillusionment with the Truman administration, combined with the fear that the 'isolationist' Robert Taft would win the nomination, to get him to run. Even after he...
  13. Challenge: What if the SS tried to overthrow Hitler? (Or someone else?)

    I don't remember if it's what the July 20 Bomb plotters were actually planning or just something from For All Time, but I believe the original idea was to frame the SS for the assassination and coup and to seize power under the pretext of stopping them. So what would motivate the SS to actually...

  15. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    The USN carries out a plan to convert large numbers of its laid up CVE's to Thetis Bay standards. Most of these have seen and continue to see limited operational service and are thus put onto the export market in the mid to late 60's with relatively low mileage. They are used by US allies as...

  19. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Could be but do those culture have the location advantage of the greeks? The greeks had access to technology progress of Babylonian, assyrians, Anatolian, Egyptian etc it was the proximity to these other civilization that enabled greeks to become what they are, the land of Greece is not that...
