  1. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    You can't really blame them though, even the Communists ignored Marx in this regard.
  2. Can you think of any way where the CSA and Britain go to war and the CSA doesn’t win, but survives the encounter like the USA did in the War of 1812?

    The British fight alone agenst the Confederacy, France and Russia all wanked to hell post napolionic wars (CSS survival seems almost impossible unless britan fights alone vs a team of wankistans)

    Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk
    Threadmarks: 283.3

    From: “A Critical History of European Societism” by E. Alcuin Jones (1987)— The Ottoman attack on Greece placed Archking Leopold III of Danubia into what might be an even more difficult position than that of his relative, King Carlo of Italy. Italy certainly had problems, such as being forced...
  4. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    On this wikipedia page you can read that the battleships were requisitioned on 2 August. That's two days before Britain's entry into the war. So it doesn't matter whether Britain remains neutral or not. The battleships have been requisitioned anyway. So the 'excuse' to join the Central Powers...

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    There's a timeline in your wheelhouse! Or, in your "Another Splendid Mess" TL develop the conditions of either Spain or the US raid the others coast, even in reduced form?
  6. Can you think of any way where the CSA and Britain go to war and the CSA doesn’t win, but survives the encounter like the USA did in the War of 1812?

    Here is my scenario for any one who wants context. Britain grows disgusted at the Confederacy’s continued use of slavery. The Confederacy still is busy trying to pay off it’s war debts to the Union. They default on their debt to Britain and Britain uses this as a justification to declare war on...
  7. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    I think the people who came up with the Domino Theory were using a rather different definition of Communism than what Marx was. Basically, "Governments similar to and allied with the one in the USSR".

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Hindsight is a harsh teacher, but NOTE what I wrote? The USAAF had an AAA suppression doctrine. Bomb the AAA sites during the first raid and then return for round two. They had BIG WEEK. Counter-air was an actual USAAF thing in WWII. They killed the LW night fighter force, not the RAF. 19th...

    The heir to Aragon

    Arthur Plantagenet? True but he was younger than Henry. But I guess is isn’t that big of a stretch.
  10. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Interesting, I didn't know that. The comment about women's history was referring to far into the future, obviously not the twenties. I was basing my assertion on my knowledge of the Catholic Church's roll in education in Latin America, where it owned the best schools and chose the subjects far...
  11. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Which sums up the problem quite neatly. Even with a coastal target (much easier to find than inland) and investment in radio-navigation aids - which the British OTL and TTL, did not have in 1941 - 1940s night bombing was simply too inaccurate to hit anything much smaller than a city. The Brest...
  12. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    A few design tweaks is all you can really expect. Better visibility but that was not considered that important then. Add the guns back is pretty obvious. But beyond that I am not sure the technology much less design philosophy would do much more. We are talking a late 50s design.

    The heir to Aragon

    His brother in law lived up to 1540, so he could live as long as that.
  14. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    America was in a pretty volatile mood just prior to Reagan’s election. If Iran had kept the hostages after he took office, and things had gone pear shaped like hostages being killed, then I believe the Military would have been given the green light. I remember a joke at the time: “Q- What’s...

    Impact of an early unified Nepal in the 1400s

    Hope you have a large net to catch all the butterflies!
  16. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    I tend to agree with Callbear on this one given what was historically available in the period for both navies and how the operational routines where, the IJN was the more offensive Carrier force compared to a more or less defensive Royal Navy carrier force, where most of the defense was to be...

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

    Jihad was not actually aimed at the foreign population at all. The Germans tried to weaponize the Jihad declaration against the Allies, ironically the Ottomans did not. For the ottomans did not aim it against the foreign powers even though they did state that...
  18. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    But on the same day as the St. Nazaire raid happen the RAF did the Lubeck raid, so was this about avoiding killing French civilians in German occupied France as it seems the RAF had no problem bombing a German city.
  19. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    Well, yes and no. However the domino theory as formulated by leading circles in the US was nothing but a pretty bad excuse to prop up their pupet regime in South Vietnam.
