    Without the 1963 coup in south Vietnam, how would it affect south vietnam?

    The question is how does he avoid the coup. Has he been smart enough to avoid the Buddhist crisis* or has he just outmanoeuvred the plotters? If it's the latter then as others have said another coup slightly later is pretty likely. If it's the former then South Vietnam is a lot stabler and...
  2. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    To threaten Russia from Constantinople one would need ships to start with. A lot of the ships. Taking into an account that at this time the French navy on the Med was facing combination of the British, Russian and Ottoman fleets, this requirement does not look realistic. Then go the annoying...

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

    Maybe Henry VI is allowed to continue his reign but is to be succeeded by Edward IV? Edward of Westminster might be forced to take the vows, which gets him out of the way

    Depressingly realistic though clearly in this tl Boeing are less incompetent as that's a much smaller over run than SLS.
  5. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    The ancient Greeks could have been using minor differences in language to justify an existing disdain. (There was an existing disdain: The Macedonians lived in a large kingdom rather than a city-state.
  6. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Some form of compulsory labor in agriculture was enormously difficult to get away from in civilization when feudal farming was the only game in town. One good year where an early farmer could pay their work force might give way to three years of drought where they couldn’t. Many of the early...

    Threadmarks: Polish Chaos

    During the chaos on the death of Louis I of Poland and Hungary on 1382, Lev III of Galicia-Volhynia would seize and annex the land of Lublin, during this time, Katherine I of Poland, the chosen heiress to Poland would marry Siemowit of Mazovia as her king consort on 1385, elevating him to being...
  8. Mexican backed Black South

    Say that just after winning the civil war (only requirement on how being whatever was realistically possible), the CSA forgets that they just barely won and almost immediately invades Mexico. Despite a surprisingly successful initial blitzkrieg, emperor Maximilian is overthrown in a republican...

    I dont think that she could live until 100
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Stalin will take all the tanks Britain will send him (complaining bitterly that they're no good, but will you send a thousand more next week) but he does not want a single British soldier on Soviet soil. They might give his own people dangerous ideas.
  11. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    At a guess to tie down some German/Axis forces at the end of a long supply route through the Balkans that is ripe for attack by air forces and partisans. I don't see a big offensive give the terrain, but it still represents another drain on German resources. On the other hand, if the Germans do...
  12. WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    Well in the unlikely case who Henry listened to his grandmother about his wedding he will NOT marry Catherine but wait for Eleanor and if he followed his grandmother’s suggestion on foreign politic he will try to keep better relationships with Scotland
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Victor is some way off still. FOr a start the switch to the Meteor might require some changes to the design of the tank to accommodate the engine better, things like the new cooling system for example. In addition further changes to the Victor could well occur, a larger turret ring for...

  15. AHC: Rome without slavery

    In Ancient China slavery did exist but was very much only limited to household slavery, actual peasants were not even tied to the land. In Achaemenid Persia slavery was also either limited or nonexistent.

    AHC: Rome without slavery

    Kinda hard to do, pretty much every ancient civilization had some form of serfdom or slavery - that said, hereditary chattel slavery was not the norm, and even in Rome there were widely recognized paths to freedom for most slaves. In fact, literate urban slaves might've been more socially mobile...
  17. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    This makes sense. Heck, given the Famous Studios catalog ITTL, we could very well see an earlier Toon Lagoon at Universal Studios Orlando. With what, might I ask? Now this is news. Hallelujah! Looks like I'll have to ask again. What does Carolco own besides FHE? And what benefits could be...
  18. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    So it kind of sounds like the August Coup but successful. Surprised that Sergey came out on top of it all in light of the men in other positions of power at the time. Perhaps there was a secretive deal struck to put Sergey up in exchange for favors, I don’t know.
