  1. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    I read somewhere that Hoffa wanted to blow up RFK's house with plastic bombs. He wanted to do it after the family went to sleep, and was hopeful it would kill Bobby and his 7 kids.
  2. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    It could be a confusion between a nuke and an actually thermobaric bomb. Let's say for the sake of argument they managed to develop and fly a Me 264 over to New York with a one tone thermobaric bomb. What damage could it have been expected?
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    That’s an accurate summation. It was a call to Holy War with no restrictions for the “chosen of god”. Urban called them to War and let the moral chains off before a sword had even been swung. He either knew what he was doing and was morally reprehensible or didn’t understand what he was doing...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The question there of course is, how long do you spend gradually upgrading the Meteor before to realise it'd be better to move on to a de-rated Griffon?
  5. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    With a Dewey presidency, would there have been a Korean War? And if there were a Korean War, seems to me that the defense budget wouldn't have been cut to the bone and forces would have been much more combat ready.
  6. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Someone would find either the Rosetta Stone or another of the many other bilinguals, and Ancient Egyptian would eventually be cracked. However, Muhammad Ali won't govern the country, and this changes the political and cultural context of the region immensely, including the ways Egyptology took...
  7. WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    From what I understand, Margaret was already becoming feeble by the time she died, and she lived to an admirably old age for the time period. It's not impossible that she gets to be that old, but is she really going to remain politically active to the extent she was for her son? If she does...
  8. Without the 1963 coup in south Vietnam, how would it affect south vietnam?

    As I've stated already, I don't know what the Buddhist expectations for the Communists were (I suspect that they probably thought (rather incorrectly as subsequent events borne out) that Hanoi couldn't be any worse than Diem. Them not trusting Diem to begin with probably made it very hard for...

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    But the huge, well-equipped, and veteran Soviet Army is right next door too.
  10. The Professor

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Buckingham did have his own claim, however fuzzy it was in relation to Tudor, but it's not impossible the deaths were the result of a botched escape. I currently think Anne arranged their deaths and Buckingham helped whether knowingly or not. And considering Richard would get better PR by...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    There was a Supercharged version of the Kharkiv V-2 that managed 862hp.
  12. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    By all accounts Mr Berg was very smart. Regardless of the fact he was a baseball player. He spoke at least 7 languages and was very intelligent in other areas too. He was a graduate of Princeton and Columbia Law, he also gave a very impressive performance on Information Please. He’d been briefed...
  13. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Julius Caesar Genghiz khan Tamerlane Pretty much all famous kings and warlords Don’t get me started on religious patriarchs
  14. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    There will be no need to further equip the Turkish Army in late 1944, by then the Germans will probably be hundreds of Km away from Turkish borders.
  15. Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    The peers didn't decide about succesion of Navarre, so yes - that was a blatant power grab.
  16. Supreme Court after a second HW Bush Term

    Emilio Garza probably gets one of them cause he'd have the "first Hispanic justice" shrouding him. As for the other seat, it depends on what Bush wishes. He could go for someone like Richard Posner (compromise choice but with a record unlike souter) or Edith Jones. Clarence Thomas showed that a...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Second question, does anyone here consider themselves a Mamluk expert? I'm not sure I'm writing them accurately in an update I'm working on and I'd like some advice.

  19. Map Thread XX

    The Frigid War: In 1932, Henry Ford arose to the role of President of the United States. In the years following, he set his goals on the national recovery from the Great Depression through the policies of technocracy and isolationism. In Europe, the tide of fascism spread throughout Central...
