    Weather is a downside for half the year.
  2. Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    My last paragraph would answer that, very little. May be more bengali freedom fighters since capital would still remain in Kolkata.
  3. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    As for a purpose for invading Greece, if Napoleon wants to recruit the Ottomans into his anti-British-India effort and the Ottomans are unwilling, he might try landing in Greece and marching on Constantinople to force them to join him. It would be a pretty dumb plan, but not much dumber than...

    Who complains 'our gear is too good, better than it's needed to do that job. Please send junk instead, so it will be more of a challenge'

    Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    probably i am more interested in the impact on the indian national movement
  6. Bahadur Shah Zafar, Last Mughal Emperor aids the British in 1857

    What difference would that make to the general course of events? Yeah the surviving mughal raj reduced to areas of delhi would make a good novelty item. Mughal empire was done by 1757 or 1707 whichever side of the political spectrum you fall on. As far as the legacy of the Mughal is concerned...

    Threadmarks: Part 32: The headaches and hassles of developing the next generation of reusable systems - Diana & Shuttle II

    Boldly Going Part 32 NASA’s success in preparing Enterprise to be the home for a new generation of reusable spacecraft came at a critical time for the agency. While the conversion of the station’s LH₂ tank into a spacedock was ongoing, NASA’s budget had been under increasing pressure at home...

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

    Henry the VIII, he was mad, bad, and dangerous to know, but he advanced England. Question at the end of the day, was that ruler a net positive overall? 'Terrible human being' can overlap with 'Effective leader' and 'improved country's standing' A USSR that tones down the Cold War and Lysenkoism...
  9. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Thank you for everything you've done here thus far; and best of luck on your finals. It may be hard to believe right now, but I can assure you that you'll look back on this time with fondness and accomplished satisfaction. You've got this.

  11. WI: Britain wins the war of 1812 and takes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Maine

    They aren't going to touch New Hampshire, nor Maine beyond the Penobscot. There were simply too many Americans to want to occupy northern and western New York and that's way too many for Britain to swallow into Canada. If they take anything in New York it'll be the front range of the...
  12. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Slavery as in chattel like slavery, yeah possible to have an ancient society without it but relationship between unequals where the person holding inferior status occupies a position bordering on slavery, absence of the latter seems impossible. I mean slavery chattel or other wise would remain...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Case in point - JP Morgan, who treated the NYNH&H as another investment vehicle instead of as an actual company, which was why the railway was in such financial distress.
  14. Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Regarding strategic importance, what about the straits? Constantinople is hardly a booby prize if Napoleon could take it and incorporate it into a Hellenic Republic (or appoint one of his brothers as a new Latin Emperor), and it opens the possibility of threatening Russia from the south and...

    You're building the tension beautifully. With this many butterflies in the air, there's almost no need to look to TTL events or chronology any more. Most options are now on the table for where this could go. Loving it.

    AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    What are the economics of the raid? That is, what's the cost in Axis casualties and the relative cost of planning and preparation time and resources vs any useful objective? And what is the overall net gain to shoot for? Blowing up a refinery and fuel stores in Curacao is great, probably...
  19. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    Beria did the 'liberal' things he did as an attempt to build support for his leadership ambitions. He temporarily weakened the MVD in anticipation that he would no longer be running it and didn't want his successor to run the private army that he had used.
