    Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    I agree, and that was my idea behind the F-Type. It's the cheapest Jaguar and the way to get into the brand in the sort of car that defined what Jaguar was all about, a combination of wonderful luxury and fabulous sportiness. A V12 in it would make the car very fast in a straight line and very...
  2. Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    If new england is separated from the rest of the otl 13 colonys due to the Dutch being at least in new york as otl then new england will likly be reabsorbed by the British and the remaining united states would be vary southern dominated with the slave states calling the shots, not needing to...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    It's not just the money, but resources. US spent 500M USD on K-25 Gaseous Diffusion plant, largest building on Earth. And it still needed the Y-12 Calutrons and S-50 Thermal Diffusion plants to do the partial enrichment, and those cost extra.
  4. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    I mean, objectively yes. But from Hitler's PoV there was a strategic threat and not going to war meant "inevitable" strangulation by the Global Jewish Conspiracy [TM]. There was also the more basic eco-military issue that Germany's lead in military power would not last past 1940 now that the...

    WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    Another factor to consider here would be the French government's desire to limit and control illegal immigration. Keeping all of Algeria would make that difficult considering that its frontiers are hard to police...
  6. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    https://www.dingeraviation.net/delta/willoughbydeltas.htm The never-built Delta-9. The link gives a good rundown on the plane and its history, with an included "What if?". If Willoughby had not died in his prototype, and been able to develop his design in the US, or if he had developed it for...
  7. Fate of Alaska with an American Canada?

    If anything, an outright American victory in the War of 1812 (or any other point where it could take control of Canada theoretically) would strengthen the concept of the Monroe doctrine. The United States, having effectively limited European presence in the Americas to small enclaves in the...
  8. WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    Any timeline that involves Napoleon not coming to power should raise those odds. Without Napoleon conquering the Netherlands, Britain has less of an opportunity to seize Dutch colonies like South Africa or Ceylon.
  9. Indonesia ATL: The Presidency of Try Sutrisno (1997-)
    Threadmarks: 148: Busy Season

    ...an event in which there were three items on the agenda. The first item on the agenda were “housekeeping” matters but which was no less important: *1st March 2002: The Final Candidates’ List is Published *17th April-14th May 2002: Campaign Period *15th-20th May 2002: Election Silence *21st...
  10. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    Do you really think Connally could get confirmed for VP even in a no-Watergate timeline? The Democrats in Congress hate him as a traitor, and the congressional Republicans are going to be leery of him since he was a Democrat as recently as two years ago. And it's not like Nixon is all that...

    WI: France gives all Algerians full citizenship during the Algerian War

    I feel like we are getting too hamfisted here. Why would France want to integrate all of Algeria, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos all at the same time as integral parts of its own territory? Catholic or not, the Indochinese, like the Algerians, are still not European, and i have a hard time seeing...

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

    I must say, I really dislike the way Stalina route is built on, let me tell you why

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Nice update! I think a look to the east would be good, it'd sure be interesting to see what the Persians have been up to. Any chance of a map any time soon btw?
  14. The world of Harry Turtledove's Atlantis.

    ^^ A modern depiction of John Elphinstone Fleming (1751-1819), later a key figure in the History of British Terranova, during his service with the King's Atlantean Rangers in the War of Atlantean Independence - note the 'overhauls' increasingly ubiquitous to the British Army in the field at this...
  15. WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    The Boers resisted Dutch rule as well, including setting up their own short-lived republics. There's no guarantee they won't trek anyway.
  16. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    Alright, now that there are ten updates in this timeline, what do you guys generally think of it so far? https://www.strawpoll.me/42877663
  17. Gulf crisis 1990 : Saddam's asymmetric response

    They would, but that's not the same as a big ol' war with a huge international coalition coming in to wreck Saddam. It'd be more of a small'ish border dispute that may or may not go to some international tribunal and get dragged out for years until it's a fait accompli.
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    But you were questioning the point that he was inciting violence? Or were you merely questioning the target of that violence? That wasn't the First Crusade though, was it? I thought that was the response to the later Crusades (Forth?) that targeted Constantinople and pretty much noting else.
  19. WI No Enlightenment?

    I think you can avert it if you avert the Black Death. How you would avert the black death or a similar pandemic with the state of trade routes at the time though is another matter though.
  20. The alternate US of the Great Nebraska Sea.

    We would see tens of millions of refugees fleeing from areas that are what we now call "Red States". We can safely assume that most of them would be conservative christians, and many (if not most) of the states to which they relocate would be more liberal and secular. This would affect the...
