  1. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The difference between South Vietnam and South Korea or Taiwan is that they never got land reform to work, unlike in those places. That was absolutely critical in not alienating the populace; it's one thing to deprive them of political rights, it's another to do so while they're economically...
  2. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Probably not. Even trainer aircraft need a fairly long takeoff run with any kind of weapons load. And light naval attackers like the Skyhawk are right out.

    Threadmarks: The Argentine Revoultion

    The Argentine Revoultion (Spainish: Revolución Argentina) was an armed insurrection which ended the Argentine Republic. Initiated by socialist agitators north of the country, it was fuelled by dissent in the military and economic turmoil caused by the collapse of Argentine international trade...
  4. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Possibly, but what’s the point? COIN? You’re likely not investing in your navy so much anyway. And/or that role can be done better by an attack helicopter.
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Well later Sea Lions made 600 hp, so losing 1/3 the power is a pretty steep drop.

    There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Also: if Catalina is going to marry then she better do it soon. Only a matter of months before she turns 27, that's getting on in years by 16th century standards.
  7. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    ^^^^ ideological commit does not always come from temptations of heavenly pleasures What were the kamikazis promised in afterlife ? I’m not sure

    There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Don't worry at all about it being late! And I think you did a good job. Nice to see that Ferdinand and Isabella 2: The Electric Boogaloo seem to be getting along well already. Hopefully João and Catarina will be the same once Catarina is a little older!
  9. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Any small conventional planes that may not require CATOBAR ?
  10. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    With no Watergate I doubt he would be the VP, and even if he was im not sure he would want to run.
  11. Instead of launching Gettysburg Campaign, Lee relieves Vicksburg

    What would have happened if instead of launching the Gettysburg campaign, the Confederates took a defensive stance in the Eastern theater in order to send forces to help relieve the pressure on Vicksburg? They must have seen the the pressure Grant was building on Vicksburg a mile away, couldn't...

  13. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The way to win the war was to cross into Laos, and cut the HCM Trail. If the Communist supply lines into the South, and Cambodia had been cut they would've' had no way of winning the war. Cambodia would've been spared the Killing Fields, and the world would be a better place. SV would probable...
  14. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Uncle Joe could've solved that just by given Lithuania to the Poles... which is something it looks like he'll have to do anyway now.
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    ...cartoon would be that the time would be split between subplots involving Mickey and Kermit and the Top Brass. The first one would be close to a M*A*S*H parody* and the other subplot could be a G-rated homage to Strangelove with the Brass squabbling in the War Room. With maybe a couple of...

    Slave rebellion during the Mexican American war possible?

    86%. Almost 2/3 of whom had been born in Africa, ie had probably been born free and only been enslaved later in life.

    Have the SARO Skeeter be as successful as the Bell 47. Much obliged!

    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Well, if it's possible, letting the jokes and Napoleon stereotypes aside... I guess that you know, that it never was his goal...
  19. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    For a Hungarian-on-Hungarian election: 2004 pits Democratic nominee John Kerry against incumbent POTUS George Pataki, the latter catapulted into the Presidency after President Quayle's death on 9/11.
