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

    The MN was fully capable of blocking the Adraitic and did so otl by itself for a few weeks until the British came in and aided them. The Austrians did not try to break out even once knowing the futility of it.
  2. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    Another interesting thought: If the French need the RN to protect their troop transports, and the British remain neutral, is there any possibility that the French will hire some of the RN? The British will certainly want to avoid a Mediterranean dominated by the Central Powers. So perhaps the...

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

    I mean some of the competent leaders in (admittedly pre-1900 history but there are some examples in post-1900 as well) have been criminals by all rights. If Beria can do what he actually said he would do then yes he would have been a very good leader his womanising and rapist traits aside, but...

    East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    You're welcome. If Finland is not invaded by the Germans or their allies, Finland's position would be dependent whether by the time of the peace Finland is still under Russian control, or whether the Finns themselves have created a country in a post-Russian power vacuum and declared it...
  5. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    Referring to Stalin’s seizure of control in the USSR, this was the reaction of a small group of monarcho-socialists, led by Maxim Gorki, who thought Lenin’s children were the rightful heirs. (In OTL Lenin never had children) The Decelerationist Decade
  6. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Well, I hate to quote myself but... Look at the numbers, look at your post again, and then tell me who butchered whom. I didn't equate the two sides. I proved (and that's a basically universally acknowleged fact outside of America) that the US was MUCH, MUCH worse in the Vietnam War. Are you...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    ...hardly ineffective. Considering that many Turks in Anatolia were also Nomads makes revolts more problematic as they can just move to somewhere else if they don't like taxes and sh*t. I can try to look for it but I am kinda busy lately with school. If this topic remains alive I may add more.
  8. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Perhaps, but do the money-people in your HQ office know this? [3 days is seriously pushing a trans-Pacific route. I'd give it a week, max]. There's also the issue that there would need to be lots of investment in airship infrastructure etc to make it viable. And not many companies would bother...
  9. Side A: The Korean Peninsula under British control. Side B: Denmark takes over all of Korea, plus Norway, Finland, Iceland, the Baltics, etc.

    Okay so assuming you're honestly not taking the piss out of this forum, how in the name of all hell would Denmark, a small European country, would manage to not only take control of but also hold onto a massive swath of land across Asia? Korea alone would be more populous than Denmark and Norway...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Sheikh Bedreddin rebellions. Kalendershah Rebellion (smaller but still...). Shahkulu rebellion was pretty much pro-Safavid, Jelali were rebellions of Sekbans and other Anatolian Turkmens unemployed and overtaxed, some had the intention of restoring the old Beyliks within or outside the Empire...
  11. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Does the CP winning mean that the Ottomans get stronger, or are they relying on the Germans to do the "heavy lifting" for them? Can the Sublime Porte be sure that Berlin is going to expend the effort on their behalf?

    AHC: Longest possible airship age

    I work in a machine factory, having an airship like the Cargolifter would be a huge boon to us, it would cut down transportation time of special machinery to East Asia from two months to 3 days. Just pick it up at our place and put it down at the customers, no middle men or choke points necessary.

    Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Apart of India, the African part of the Empire was recently gained. The Caribbean was of no interest for the Germans, risking undesired negative American attention on the Germans. I am not sure if Ghana, Kenya etc. would be more valuable than continental ally France. Actually I am, and France as...

    Ottomans in CP Victory?

    It was briefly Ottoman usually but the last time the Ottomans ruled it was in 1732? The province might not have been too relevant for the Soviets and most of the Armenian Population there was probably gone, with Kurds and Turks largely remaining. But the Turkish Army had taken Gyumri and were...
  15. French constitutional monarchy

    The OP hasn't given us a timeframe but I am assuming this is post 1870. Versailles was turned into a museum by Louis Philippe I so I think we can strike that out. I think any French Orleans monarchy installed post 1870 would have continued the precedent established by LPI and been keen to...

    AHC: Keep the Shun dynasty around

    Honestly, the single most important task in keeping the Shun going is keeping the Manchu on the other side of the Shanhai Pass. Yli probably had the right idea, but in general I think the main task is just getting Li Zicheng out of Beijing earlier. IOTL his forces ended up getting stuck into the...
  17. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    My impression was that the term "Tartary" was only ever used by Europeans, and not by actual people living in those regions.
  18. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    I doubt that Napoleon woud accept Frankfurt propose in any case, afterall in OTL his situation was desperate and he didn't accept. I think that Murat can remain king of Naples if Metternich think that he woud was controlable and usefull for hold divided and weaken italians states... but the...

    Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    Immigrants tend to do One of two things. One change the culture or two integrate into it. It honestly depends I think by modern day with what you would have a hybrid culture that integrates the three largest ethnic groups with very subtle influences from the smaller ones. For example when I...
  20. AHC: no unification of China by Qin

    Development of philosophy is an interesting topic Without the Qin- like dynasty for much longer there is no central authority to impose a single ideology and the Burning of Books and Burrying of Scholars never happens.
