    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Agree, but, IMO, rather than try to defend the Ottoman Empire and if Napoleon would pose a clear, imminent menace to Constantinople, then it would be more probable, that it'd set off a race towards Constantinople, either for protecting it (British) or to put on siege/take it, before that...
  2. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    There’s no way the U.K. could have paid for their ones, besides wasn’t Warspite in just terrible condition by the end of the war?
  3. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    The only time Germany was in a position to hit New York was the end of WW1 funnily enough.
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I suspect it would not on its own and might have some mates close by But yes - if the obstacle is covered and also protected by mines etc???
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    LOL I'm former USAF. I know from experience. Needless to say the SPs will have folks permanently stationed there. I also see Mickey Mouse in a USAF Uniform becoming an extremely popular plush toy, but not for the reasons Bo Boyd thinks.
  6. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I know, the Boeing execs in this tl would be so envious of SLS.
  7. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Some types of bondage are so different that comparing them is really not a valid thing to do. Saying that Roman mass slavery was typical is untrue and you wouldn't find something similar in many other societies(even large empires) especially when you look throughout world history rather than...
  8. Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    Not really, Isabella married Edward II when she was 12 and he was 23. assuming Edward and Margaret marry and have heirs as soon as she can conceive (as cruel as it sounds that what Edward I would want to secure a heir as soon as possible) Lets assume Margaret and Ed have a heir by the time she...
  9. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    Gun Jesus did a vid on SMGs and concluded that you had 3 Stages of SMG Quality - Hand made in small number SMGs - MP18, Thompson, Suomi KP/-31, MAB 38 etc Austere mass produced SMG - MP38/40, STEN, PPSH, M3 Quality mass produced SMG - MP5, Sterling, UZI etc What I think we would see here is...

    Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    $1 bill 5.8 years $5 bill 5.5 years $10 bill 4.5 years $20 bill 7.9 years $50 bill 8.5 years $100 bill 15.0 years https://www.visualcapitalist.com/many-u-s-dollar-bills-circulation/ The average lifespan of a Euro banknote is 3 years...

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I think we're coming up on the end of the timeline now, looking forward to seeing the OV-300 Spirit series of shuttles rendered. Once again a fantastic timeline, probably the most unreasonable thing about the whole thing has been Congressional willingness to fund the program (certainly...
  12. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    RE sherman racial views In a biography of him I read it tells a story about him sitting in a Opera with some people and then halfway through he's disappeared!They go outside [after the Opera is finished ] and see him sitting on the ground with a black man sharing a cigar and laughing. now...
  13. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I'd say: USS Enterprise HMS Warspite HMS Furious USS West Virginia USS California Bearn HMS Victorious
  14. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    One thing we could do is eliminate funding to airports that have less than 100 passengers a day on average and put that money into metro transport. I don't know how much money it would be , but it would be at least something of a start.
  15. Mexican backed Black South

    My understanding is that SC and MS had clear black majorities around 1860, with AL, GA and LO nearly evenly split and FL white majority, but only a very slight one. The whole thing would have almost be 50% of each "race", more or less.
  16. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    Welp, I just got a very interesting butterfly to use when I finally write an Argentine update for my Post-1900 TL...
  17. Vice President William O Douglas

    He'd probably have less stellar relationships with the Senate than the veteran Barkley. I don't see him as a strong contender for the Presidency -- he was too liberal and not exactly very good at politics (there were too impeachment attempts in 1953 and 1970, and openly had a mistress during his...
  18. More Than A Feeling

    1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    And the legend of John Brewer begins... Reno went from 0 sports to 2 after the got Vernon from baseball and Sacramento from hockey.
  19. WI No Enlightenment?

    At the time scientific racism was not that cringy. In 18th and especially 19th century it could be seen that all all European countries are developing while non European ones are backward and that among westefn countries the level of development corelates with Germanic ancestry For people at...
