  1. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    McKenna will need to return to the House of Commons in a by-election, if he becomes leader of the Liberal Party.

    What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    I am mostly taking my information from the Ottoman Road to War, but it seems that the seizure of the ships were the main highlight of the debate. French freezing of Ottoman assets and Enver projecting the (fake) fact that the treaty of august meant that turket had an obligation to war, and...
  3. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    I think its possible they intervene in the Russian Civil War to aquire central Asia. I imagine pan-turkism has a narrow window to achieve something before whoever ruling russia turns to deal with them.
  4. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Anderson

    William Spencer Anderson: 1881-85 - The Congressman The 1881 Liberian Election was one of the closest in history and also one of the bitterest. It is difficult to avoid the assumption that the two Candidates hated each other at least partly because they were so similar. For a start they both...
  5. AH Title and Description Game

    Woah, dude- I was just suggesting you to add another title or two, not to delete your whole post!
  6. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Using their influence to force other Great Powers to accept this settlement favourable to the Ottomans. Trading something to gain acceptance for the deal. Putting their military might behind the Ottomans to force the French or British to acquiesce to the Treaty.
  7. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    They're smarter, yes, but by virtue of their democratic mandate, probably less directly dangerous compared to the Combine. Any danger they pose would be more insidious.
  8. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    Do you have an account of the debate? Were no other justifications offered?
  9. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Medium to Long term you are correct. But short term I'd be surprised if OPEC has that much spare capacity lying around un-used, this is a matter of practicality not intent. They can pledge all they want, but if there aren't enough oil wells then people will have to wait while more are drilled...

    Side A: The Korean Peninsula under British control. Side B: Denmark takes over all of Korea, plus Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Baltics, etc.

    I think the only thing for a small-sized northwestern European country like Denmark would take control such certain parts of Asia, e.g. the whole Korean Peninsula, Philippines, the rest of Indochina sans Thailand, Central Asia plus Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet, was to learn and thus adopt the...
  11. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Many of my students are quite proud the mayor of Chicago killed in the 1933 attempt on FDR's life was a Czech. And are a bit embarrassed Trump's first wife was as well. Don't hear much about the Kerry connection here in the CR, but I knew about it.

  14. AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    With some 4 million Americans claiming Hungarian decent today, this shouldn't be too difficult. While the most likely candidates are mentioned above, you could also just take Wikipedia's list of notable Hungarian Americans and pick one.

    When I saw Gandalf I thought it was 3D instead of Rakin/Bass's.

    Map Thread XX

    FORGED BY FIRE Ahoy, me mateys, I bring to thee a sequel to the New England map, set after this world's Great War. No, it barely has any plausible changes, except the fact Africa is now much better border-wise and the Confederates are communist. The Russians are surviving somewhat, but not by...
  17. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    I doubt the part about the oil price spike, actually. The USSR throwing nukes around will lead to the Arabs and other OPEC members suddenly rediscovering how much they value the friendship of the NATO countries and pledge to make up any shortfall. With the USSRs Tankies and other useful idiots...

    AHC: American President of Hungarian descent

    Kerry's grandparents were German-speaking Jews who were born in the modern-day Czech Republic. He's not ethnically Hungarian at all, any more than a Slovak-American or Croatian-American is.
  19. Divided France after Hundred Years War?

    Thanks for your kind words. I think for an authoritative illegitimate declaration (which don't get me wrong, a first step rather than the be-all and end-all of controlling France), it would probably have been enough for Isabeau of Bavaria to make said declaration before a bishop etc. I'm not...
