    Slave rebellion during the Mexican American war possible?

    Yes. The initial revolt began, at least in part, because the slaves thought that the king had issued a proclamation freeing all of them, but it was being suppressed by their masters (/the governor). France itself was undergoing go just all kinds of changes, faster than news of them could even...
  2. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Can't really blame Stalin for starting the war, this Polish "peninsula" inside Soviet territory does look atrocious.

    With a POD in 1750 can new imperialism be avoided?

    A disease spreading in Africa that kills Europeans in large numbers, in Africa, making European colonisation not practical.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I've always liked the idea of Kaiserreich board games. An Axis and Allies version of KR (Kaisers and Communes?) or some similar world scale strategy game is something I would definitely play. The only downside is unless you want to implement a pre-war diplomatic system you'd have to copy-paste...

    In WWI, the collapse of German began on the Salonika Front, in Greece... There are plenty of places to go from Greece, it just takes a little longer to get there. If the local populace supports your efforts it is easier. Churchill understood this, this is one reason why he kept pushing for...

    TL-191: Featherston's Finest - Uniforms, Weapons, and Vehicles of the CSA and Freedom Party

    The Austin A-41 Otter of the 17th Naval Reconnaissance Squadron based out of the Hatteras Naval Air Station, circa 1943. The Otter was developed in 1939 to meet a CSN requirement for a new, fast, long range recon plane that was to deployed from the William T. Ponder class Aircraft Carriers. The...

    Threadmarks: Underdogs: Luxembourg at the 2018-19 World League

    Luxembourgian fans had reason to be happy. Indeed, their nation would participate in their first-ever World League in 2018-19, leaving only Gibraltar, Kosovo, Malta, Kazakhstan, San Marino, Andorra and Liechstenstein as UEFA members not having participated in the competition, with the two first...

    What if Rainer Barzel had become Chancellor of Germany?

    History would probably not be much different. I'd imagine Barzel would call a 1972 Election (the pressure would be too great for him to wait until 1973) and would promptly go on to lose to Willy Brandt (likely by a quite reasonable margin). This scenario might stop the Gunther Guillaume affair...
  9. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

  10. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    The British air-dropped torpedo carried a 388 pound TNT warhead. The comparable Japanese weapon had a 452 pound (Type 91 Mod 2) or 529 pound (Mod 3) warhead and the Mod O USN torpedo carried a 404 pound warhead. There is relatively little information regarding the vulnerability of Kaga or Akagi...

    If the war in North Africa ends much earlier, and authorial fiat aside I don’t see how it won’t. The Germans and Italians will also not be engaged as heavily, 230k Germans were captured with the fall of Tunis in 1943, most of them will not have been shipped to North Africa if Libya falls much...

    WI: Arab Viking Age in Indian Ocean

    Can’t really see this happening. Going north and conquering the weakened Eastern Roman and Sassanid empires was far more lucrative...and probably easier than sailing (where you risk yah know...sinking). Only way I can see this happening is if the two empires never bash each others skulls in so...
  13. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    Al-Qaeda used that because they didn't have missiles capable of seriously damaging a ship. The USSR definitely did. Despite what PragerU may tell you, the Soviet Union was not a 3rd-world country on the verge of collapse and with constant starvation and no economic growth (although it wasn't a...
  14. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Could be more Colt 45s and M1903s? And I expect that far more guns were made year on year so the year of making extra M1s and then spamming out millions more M3s is going to make it greater than a 50/50 split. I would expect that the majority of the M1 Carbine replacements ITTL would be M3s...

    Map Thread XX

    This is actually a really cool idea. Might be interesting to start a thread for this sort of thing.
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Oh I completely agree, as it stands the Victor is the tank for WW2 though work on the replacement starts pretty much right away. Two small points however. Firstly even though the current iteration of the Victor has a 66" turret ring that does not mean the final production version will...
  17. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    One interesting question is how a Dewey presidency would impact TTL's Brown v Board of Education equivalent. Curt Gentry's biography of J. Edgar Hoover, "J. Edgar Hoover The Man and the Secrets" claims that Dewey had promised to make J. Edgar Hoover Attorney General and then appoint him to the...

  19. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    I disagree actually. Watergate sucked all the oxygen out of the room in a way which kind of caused the public to ignore some of the issues of the time that were a result of pure policy failures on behalf of the Nixon admin and the "GOP establishment". 1976 had nationwide primaries too, an...
