  1. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    There was a week of activities scheduled for the 75th anniversary of the RNZN, which included the first visit by a USN warship in decades. The ceremonial entrance to Auckland harbour was downsized and delayed. Half the participants took their helicopters a few hundred km south to help ferry...
  2. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Yes, of course. Just to be clear: I'm not saying moving people to beyong hte Urals would solve the issue on its own. I'm just saying it might provide a faucet through which the Russian state can "leak off" European Russia's peasant population, so it doesn't grow further during the interwar. I...
  3. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Bluhdorn is all about those big dollar returns from the movies. Paramount at this point just made The Godfather which is cashing in massively for the studio with only a $7 million budget. There's no guarantee that another Star Trek TV series will make money. IRL the series actually lost a little...

    Loved to a see a sequel to "The Italian Job" 1969 What happens to the crew on the Bedford VAL? Would they do another job somewhere?, NYC?, London etc ?
  5. From the Ashes, the Purple Phoenix rises once more.
    Threadmarks: Trouble in the North

    Whilst Theodore was metaphorically shouting “this is not a phase, mom” for five years straight, other things were happening in the Empire, firstly, the regency. Zoe’s regency started off badly. The two Bulgarian envoys sent to confirm the peace demanded double the normal tribute, Zoe, knowing...

    A beautiful map, and it's always nice to see Semien make an appearance.
  8. Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    I love it. :cool: :cool: I'll leave comment on practicality to somebody who knows the industry better. I have some small concerns with your Mini lineup. One, is the Classic bigger, as the OTL BMW is? IMO, that's a real mistake. That also makes me wonder about the Match. If you're...

    WI: Frosted Flakes were more crispy?
    Threadmarks: WI Introduction

    What would it take to change the formula to be more crispy? What would the public reaction be?
  10. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    You can’t railroad until it is time to railroad By that I mean you need certain technology before You can do something. And we are frankly having problems with our current level of technology moving away from fossil fuels. I mean where do you think your electricity for those electric cars and...
  11. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    Might it not be easier to just propose a twin brother for Willem 3? Willem 2 can die on schedule, but you still have the brother around.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    The story (book wise) from those who've read it and have found it to be enjoyable. The main problem is the director and script. Have an half decent director who isn't making the film as an 'ego trip' as Travolta clearly did would've helped plus having a decent script writer. I watched the film...
  13. What if Harold Godwinson kept his promise and supported William the Conqueror to the English throne?

    The English nobility would be more Anglo-Saxon mixed with anglo-french and Flemish overlords and the armies of England would probably have a mixed year of mounted Knights and Scandinavian housecarls also England my be a much more of a melting pot of cultures with Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon and...
  14. AHC: Create an exotic party system

    I've been away from this thread for some time, unfortunately! Long story short I had an idea for combining some ideas from this thread into a single concept but I'm having trouble getting the story to properly cohere 😭. Essentially it would be a combination of the ideas from my "history in party...

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Hungary was the main obstacle in terms of federalization. Otl wasn't really very desirable as the Empire had many structural issues that prevented it from really living up to its full-potential. Still the fact that it last so long fighting with an arm tied behind its back is an impressive feat...
  16. Independent Schleswig after WWI

    Adding S-H to Denmark in 1919 would give Denmark a sizeable German minority of a little under 30% (could be lower if the countryside in Schleswig can be convinced to believe that they are Danish rather German, but this is unlikely). Some numbers: Danish population in 1919 was around 3,0...
  17. Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    Even if w accept the video's assumptions about the Russian Revolution and later Hitler's rise, there is ample reason to think that the Ottomans could join or work with the Axis Powers, and that too changes much. Let me back this up one moment though. Iran was a bit of a mess after the war, and...

    AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    I don't know if this phrase is commonly used outside the US, but Lindemann's absence is "Addition by subtraction"
  19. Map Thread XX

    Yup, their state government (so the executive branch, and their judicial and legislative etc) is run by a tribe or a mix of several tribes depending on how many significant ones are plopped into these states, while any natives not in a native state are given simple reservations.
