    Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The VC and the NV army did commit its own acts of violence as they got enthusiastic with popular justice, yes, but it pales in comparison to the indiscriminate bombing and napalm campaigns, patrols, and torture that was practiced en masse by the US, ARVN, and their CIA accolades just to keep a...
  2. Map Thread XX

    In this instance, I am referring to Russians in an ethno-lingustic sense. Much of Russia's population are not Russian per-se -- especially populations in the Caucasus and those bound to the east of the Volga. This is what I consider to be the primary concentration of Russians in Russia.

    Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    Yes and no. Women did usually succeed to the counties and the duchies. Add in that Navarre allowed female succession to their throne. So even if Joan wasn't usurped for the throne of France, she was for Navarre, Champagne, and Brie.
  4. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Athens (unlike Rome) had a strong burgeoise that would become even more influential if Athens create a colonial empire. So in worst case we'd have power split between capitalists and aristocracy, not dominated by aristocracy
  5. Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    ...exact same probably would've helped it's chances. FLCL deserved a better continuation, too. I'll go to bat for Evangelion's ending. It's not actually that depressing, considering *SPOILERS* it's outright stated anyone with the will to live in the real world can come back (case in point, Asuka).

    Nintendo's New Groove: An Alternate Nintendo Timeline

    Hey MegaToon1234, what do you mean by this quote? which is a duel between Super Sonic and Emerald Eggman (which is taken from Sonic the Comic)

    Map Thread XX

    Not too surprising due to earth curving and the distance of Siberia means that even its puny 30 million can shift the centre of mass significantly. Centre of population of European Russia though? I'd be surprised if it was north of Moscow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_population#Russia
  8. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Joe Namath, New York Jets legend and hall of famer, somehow decides to start a political career and goes on to become president years later. Namath was 1st or 2nd generation Hungarian American.

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    It did, and it's still called India in the West. And considering the cultural and religious issues on the Subcontinent, an Indian state that abhors the term "India" and demands to be referred to as "Bharat", even in Western languages, would probably be Hinducentric enough that "India" might even...
  10. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Except that the Ottoman Empire was no enemy of France's, quite the opposite really, the two countries hardly had many conflicting interests, and a very long history of fruitful cooperation. The expedition to Egypt was primarily meant to harm Britain (although it was a monumentally idiotic plan)...
  11. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Not really, India could have easily chosen to call itself Bharat after independence and it would have stuck
  12. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds. (Democritus) The CBIC – the Central Bureau of Investment Control, the WAU’s domestic security service – had its site in downtown Deygbo, slightly closer to the riverside than to the embassy quarter. The building had been erected in the...

    WI: Pepin the Short has more sons

    Not a given at all. Charlemagne was a huge force for Early Medieval Christianity, but it's not like it wasn't running on its own steam by the eighth century. If the Frankish realm is partitioned into four or five states, and presumably never fully reunited, then each of those states will be far...
  14. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    What did the Arabs conquer in the 1400 years before Islam from when they entered the scene in the Assyrian period? Nabatea? A couple of small kingdoms in the Jazeera desert or Charakene? I don't think the Arabs were destined by climate or history to conquer more than this, especially considering...

    So that's really why they named them "Emperor Penguins"! x'D

    No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Pretty much a 1905 Winchester, then. I think those were around $35 MSRP

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Yeah, but I'm assuming that the AHC means a well-accepted, if not exclusive, international name. India is "Bharat" only in the Indosphere itself. Making it "Bharat" in the West is implausible at any point after the Roman Empire, IMO.
  20. Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    Yeah, and prior to these parts there was no succesion laws (not even England-style entails) so French were free to determine their own succesion line, so Philip V wasn't an usurper.
