  1. Supreme Court after a second HW Bush Term

    It would be a very Republican Court since Jimmy Carter had gone through the rare presidential term with zero SCOTUS appointments. If the Court is too pro-corporate too abruptly, that might bring about a backlash of sorts.

    AHC: Earlier Industrial Revolution

    There's an answer to everything on the Youtube channel Whatifalthist, run by our Lord and Savior, Rudyard Lynch! See his video on the matter, titled What if Greece industrialized? Personally I think it's very far-fetched and is subject to my criticism of Rome, just less so.
  3. WI No Enlightenment?

    Homosexuality might not have been stigmatized, at least to the degree it was in the 19th-20th centuries (pre-Enlightenment societies were actually quite flexible with sexuality -- it was the great Christian states of the world, full of post-Enlightenment testosterone, that pushed aggressively to...
  4. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    More powerful select fire SMGs aka Machine Carbines Perhaps more weapons using the 7.62x25 or 9x25 for example?
  5. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    Maybe if not then you will make it up yourself but We Need to Have Real NHL Players as we progress like Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe.
  6. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    On the topic, Thunderbirds Are Go (1966). Now I'd say have Cliff Richard not live so close to Gerry Anderson and maybe avoid one rather strange dream sequence that I remember severely annoying me as a child. Maybe leave some more room for characterisation of the the other brothers instead of the...
  7. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Could be, it doesn't matter to the story.

    AHC: Earliest possible North Korea nukes

    Perhaps if Soviets wanted to bring them away from China, following the split? They offer technical expertise and the requisite machinery in return for a pro-Soviet foreign policy turn.

    WI No Enlightenment?

    Okay. If you want to remove the cringiest parts of the Enlightenment (so pretty much all of it), you're going to have to think in terms of the Enlighteners' predecessors. These predecessors were in fact the English Dissenters, who were a scummy bunch of motherfuckers indeed. So what do you do...

    ...once war was declared was to limit his input to the military. Prior to the DoW, his actions consciously left the US with our pants down. US Navy * Secr. of the Navy Josephus Daniels (to me, a political hack. A meddler) * Admiral William Benson * Admiral Henry Mayo * Admiral William Sims...
  11. Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    Bahadur II. doesn´t join the rebels, and the Mughals keep their position. No Empire of India, and the 20th century a descendant tries to free India from British Rule...

    Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    Hmm... it seems US was the one who had plans to deploy "weaponized suicide" in case of World War III: https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-tactical/this-soldier-trained-to-carry-backpack-nukes/ https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/green-beret-backpack-nukes/
  13. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    It would be a tiny percentage of the park. You are talking a strip what? 50 or so feet wide in a park 10s if not 100s of miles wide. You want to keep costs reasonable you are going to have to make choices. HSR enthusiasts don't want to make tough choices even though real life is full of them...
  14. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Right. Seriously though - if the Allies had success in this region then potentially the Turks might join or at the very least allow ships to transit the Bosporus allowing a far shorter and more benign SLOC to Russia.

    Why is MacArthur seen negatively on this forum? Was he a bad general? Perhaps I'm just uninformed, but the way he was taught in my school put him in a positive light.

    Tiberius Gracchus - More Successful?

    There's not much spoils to be gained, and the only major effect of switching from an independent land commission (something well established in Roman endeavors like this) and the consulars controlling the distribution would be the Gracchan opponents gaining an ability to effectively block the...
  17. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    I wonder about the MP5 in this time line.. Does the MP5 count as a blow back smg ?
  18. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Is he an ethic German? Gregor is a German name, and Krensky sounds like a German surname of Slavic origin.

  20. Margareta domina II: A Margaret of Austria Re-do

    Well, I doubt that there would be even a single regent for Jan August - last time there was a child king (Jan August's great-uncle, Vladislaus III of Varna) the task of regency was left in hands of regency council (albeit one dominated by one man, bishop Zbigniew Oleśnicki), so I think that...
