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

    Privileging the Roman Catholics for starters (IIRC converting to Catholicism apparently increased the promotion prospects for military officers). If the Buddhists still view the Diem regime in 1970 as an inherently Catholic only project, then there's no way Saigon survives short of turning...
  2. THE LUSOSPHERE

    The Crown of Portugal internal politics started to concentrate in three movements, the portuguese party, the brazilian party and the gael party. The portuguese party was dominant in the Empire inner workings and Rafael Riegos Flores, the minister for the Crown Integration, promoted the dominant...
  3. AHC: Earlier Industrial Revolution

    Ancient Greece is a good candidate, Athens in particular. It was the only Greek state in which the capitalist classes actually had political power.
  4. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    The start of the NHL?
  5. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Comissars in 1935-1940 were deputy commanders responsible for political education of personnel. Just military officers subordinate to their commanders. What you have in mind is apparently an "osobist", a NKVD officer attached to every unit larger than a platoon. An army or a division has a whole...
  6. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Right now, the Greek campaign is a mostly Commonwealth led and supplied effort. The material flows and some of the divisions that in OTL went to 14th Army are instead in Greece on a much shorter logistical pipeline.
  7. No intermediate cartridge as we know it?

    No: MP5? Or perhaps FG-42 in 7.62 NATO or in something else? I'm sure Stoner will cook something, too.
  8. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Rest assured, he’ll be involved in this timeline
  9. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    This is vastly overestimating the velocities in day to day operation. The TGV did indeed set a speed record of 574.8 km/h or 357 mph, but that was with a highly modified unit on a modified line. Standard operating speeds of the TGVs are between 270 km/h or 168 mph and 350 km/h or 220 mph, with...

  11. Sārthākā

    Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Huh. Didn't know that thanks.

    WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    Old man Tom Parr allegedly lived to 152... he was born and lived around the same time as Margaret
  13. "Revolution Plowed the Sea" What if Latin America was a Great Power?

    Were the Federal States allowed reunite with New England and New Africa? Or is this before WWII?

    Cursed out of 10
  16. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    For a much more innovative and sensible vehicle as well.
  17. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    The British in Yugoslavia are more than happy, at this time, to hold the Adriatic ports and to let the Royal Navy do their thing while supplying the partisans to a tolerable level.
  18. WI: Martin van Buren vs. Henry Clay vs. John Tyler in 1844?

    Yeah, I thought so. It would have been cool for the election to go to the House though.
  19. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    DeGaul irritated all other Allied leaders he had that effect on people. Still, I don't think it would be worth putting any British or Commonwealth manpower on the Eastern Front especially if it falls under Soviet Command on that front since the majority of high ranking officer at this point in...
  20. WI No Enlightenment?

    Is it even a possibility? The Enlightenment is a culmination of trends that have been happening in Europe since the Late Middle Ages, not easy to get rid of it If European civilization takes a different route, it may be possible for at least some of proposals of Enlightennent to br...
