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

    Von Giers had been given the instrument of apology which increased ottoman capitulations to Russia in return for peace.despite envers best attempts to stop the parliament from doing so. Sazonov accepted the instrument of apology on the condition that the German military mission in Constantinople...

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    I don’t know where or how these pieces fit…. The very limited US experience with tanks (and even less with armored cars) during WW1, was with vehicles that were plodders, moving at the speed of foot infantry. Many of the pre-WWI leaders were Cavalry, or one-time Cavalry - even after that war...
  3. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    Because the French navy is blocking the exit of the Adriatic. Or do you consider the French navy incapable of doing this?
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If the British Engineers were willing to copy a German Submachine Gun, then the Viewing Cupolas and Aiming Sights, any chance they would also consider copying a complete tank engine? Just thinking out loud that if in this predicament, someone at the Ministry of Supply 'could' give Nuffield...
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Years ago for a World of Tanks competition I designed a Crusader chassis based TD using the Molins auto loading 6 pounder - with the weapon based in a open turret (like an earlier M10) - that I called a Claymore. Additional ammo is carried stowed below the mounting and not really intended to be...

    Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    Probably not, the allies were more interested in paper pushers in the highest echelons than they were in the field marshals.
  7. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    That sounds like the Uragan-class monitor, Strelets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_monitor_Strelets https://laststandonzombieisland.com/tag/strelets/
  8. The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    With or without borders?
  9. What will happen to the Ottoman Empire if Britain doesn't enter WW1?

    Even though the British remain neutral, the Germans will still have to take them into account. The British don't want Germany to rule the seas. So when Germany starts to dominate the Mediterranean, it could just lead to a British declaration of war. It's a different story when Italy joins the...
  10. AH discussion: Domino theory correct?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the communist victories in Thailand, Burma, or Malaysia", since those countries didn't have Communist victories. Did you mean to write something like "the pro-western victories"?

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Speaking of Sherman, I figured it would interesting to share an interesting article I found written by Sherman in 1888, named "Old Shady, with a moral". In the article, I was surprised to find that Sherman admitted to "feel partial to the colored people of the United States" as the South...

    Middle Roman Empire

    I doubt they’d make the middle Empire be where it is. It screws over the west way too much. More likely Liberius gets Africa, the Balaeres, Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily.

    Imperator Francorum: A Napoleon II Timeline

    Nope. I plan on eventually publishing an update. Yeah I have a lot of things on my plate at the moment. Oui! I think the next update(s) will likely cover Iberia/Latin America, so I'm doing some research for that as well.
  14. Slave rebellion during the Mexican American war possible?

    The issue is Mexico actually winning is very difficult. The United States arguably won every major battle of the war (Buena Vista being arguable, the US held the field but made no further advances in the north), it would take far more than a little luck for Santa Anna to actually win decisively...
  15. AHC: Keep the Shun dynasty around

    I suppose they could go for the same conquests as the Qing: Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, plus a failed attempt at conquering Burma. As for whether or not they would? Well, it could perhaps be argued that as a Han dynasty they would be less interested in ruling lands outside the traditionally...
  16. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    In its edition of 6 May 1884, the Beacon published on its front page, the names of all those killed in the attacks by the Ulster Volunteers (UV) at its printing works, the head office of the Co-operative Women's Fellowship, and the head office of the Good to Wear co-operative...

    WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    The original script proposal had the Devil be the collective negative energy of a people given form by some alien tech , but Next Gen changed it to a con woman. Which version was done for season 5?

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

    With Italy neutral for the foreseeable future, why would the KuK navy be stuck in the Adriatic?
  19. What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?

    While the arguments that The Chieftain mentionned from the report were not unreasonable, I believe that Rock Island's T4 Medium Tank/Combat Car actually still had a number of advantages over the T5 and that there were associated caveats to the T5's advantages. The T5 is stated to be lighter and...
  20. What if no St Nazaire Raid in 1942

    The Atlantic Wall was designed to deter battleships. That’s what the larger calibre guns were for. Chariot did inspire more investment in the Atlantic Wall. The Wall as we know it isn’t how it was originally designed. It’s how it was redesigned after the Chariot raid caused a German rethink.
