  1. What if Reagan is nominated in 1976 and wins, effects on China diplomatic relations?

    FWIW, IOTL, the Gang Of Four had already been arrested a month before the US election, and more than three months before the victor assumed office.
  2. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    Indeed, that will be addressed in a future update. In OTL Asquith waited until Paisley in 1920, but McKenna will be finding a seat quicker. I have one in mind. I will also address who will be the Commons Leader. OTL Asquith chose Donald Maclean. Glad you think so! Not too long, readable enough?
  3. Map Thread XX

    What will happen when Vikings come? Sure, maybe some of them at least will be converted to zoroastrianism (Scandinavia seems too far to me, but zoroastrian Kiev?) but before that (if not after that), they will surely raid... and since Tabaristan is stretch of land, sandwitched between sea and...

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

    Really? Wasn't Henry VI continuing his reign part of the OTL agreement, why not just continue it here and put Edward in the Monastery or declare him illegitimate.
  5. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    The article seems to imply that German and Japanese research was within a few months of a workable nuclear device.
  6. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    I suspect eventually in this time line someone is going to re emphasize the concept of SMG type firearms that fire from a closed bolt (and perhaps are largely intended to be used in semi auto mode..) Maybe long barreled pistols with shoulder stocks also become more common (I could see FN...
  7. What if Reagan is nominated in 1976 and wins, effects on China diplomatic relations?

    And in regards to Taiwan specifically, OTL, the Carter admin didn't break relations until the 1980s had started up, and I don't believe that played a significant role in Carter's political demise. Thus, an ATL Reagan can probably also delay recognition long enough to massage public opinion...
  8. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    It develops independently - an intermediate cartridge as we don't know it. Perhaps out of Belgium, Czechloslovakia, Israel, China, or elsewhere after World War II.
  9. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Henry VI will stay in the Tower and likely also Edward of Westminster... Then you know, one has not a great health, the other is a small kid and the Tower is not exactly salubre so...
  10. Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    Unfortunately an ASB Everyone knew that the badshah was a puppet of the British east India Company. The rebels chose him because of that exact reason, they knew he was a figure head a symbol and nothing more. Joining the rebels doomed his dynasty but saved the legacy of the dynasty. The...
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Looking at the terrain somewhere around Palmer Lake/Spruce mountain would give enough flat(ish) space and access to I-25 while being close enough to both Colorado Springs and Denver to get traffic. USAF Academy Upperclassmen will appreciate the nightlife and their supervisors will appreciate...
  12. Could any of the communist goverments of Eastern Europe have survived the Soviet Collapse?

    Maybe if allowed to pioneer smaller gradual freedoms under a charismatic leader one might survive long enough to be recognized as semi-legitimate by historians. Or the charismatic leader might be elected without the Party as a monolithic organ.

    WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    I call him the Welsh Usurper
  14. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    And, very significantly, considering that the entire premise of the discussion we were having was significantly higher oil prices at the time due to more rapid development of India and China, for a similar price. For example, the best information that I can find shows that TWA charged $33 for a...
  15. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Choices have to be made. Do you want pristine parks or do you want HSR? You can't afford both. There is a decent question if you can afford the latter at all even if you build the rails right straight through the park. The estimate is $100 billion now and the only question in my mind is when...
  16. Napoleon, instead of invading Egypt to get to India, disembarks his troops onto Egypt and pays for some ships to get to India

    ‘Hires some ships’? From whom? Is there a functioning company “Rent a ship”? Then, what do you mean by “some?”. Egypt expedition involved 13 ships of the line, 14 frigates, and 400 transports for 40,000 troops. The plan was to sail 15,000 to India so, taking into an account a greater distance...
  17. WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    Henry VII wanted Eleanor of Austria for his second son and she was a much better match than her aunt under every aspect.
  18. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    Debatable. There are still files from the end of the war that are not easily accessible, even today. CIOS 125 etc. They were developing new weapons and techologies but where the prototypes begin vs where the design stage ends is debatable. Of course Kammler disappears at war's end and no one...
  19. AHFA 2021 United American Cup/2021 Copa America Unida

    A very interesting team and a good entry! What would you think about building in Leon Richter (Striker) and/or Leon Schulz (CAM/RW/LW) - both of them are fictional, I have to admit.
  20. What if Reagan is nominated in 1976 and wins, effects on China diplomatic relations?

    China as an anti-Soviet counterweight rather preceded Al Haig's glad-handing visit. The Chinese had already supported the western-backed forces in Angola in 1975, over a year before your hypothetical Reagan '76 victory. And it's just common sense that most of the foreign-policy establishment...
