  1. Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    I disagree, The Russian pogoms and succession of new Balkan nations were more controlling factors in the passage of the law than was the world war itself.

    WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    Agreed, but I can't see her being happy about it! All right, so Margaret for little Edward, then. That works for me. Maybe they could have Calais back as her dowry!

    Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    Another good update, excited to see more :)
  4. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    He pretty much did actually. The prince had just made a deal with the States of Holland that ended his siege of Amsterdam. The deal put him in an advantaged position vis a vis the Estates Party and was more a truce than a peace treaty. Delaying his death for half a year gives him another...
  5. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    While it is a better BAR, and we can both agree it should have been the quality of BAR given to GIs in WW2 its still to long and too heavy for paratroopers (9.2 KGs) The Monitor on the other hand is 6 kgs and no longer than a Garand (which is 4.3 KGs)
  6. What if FDR died a year earlier?

    The incumbent president is not going to be denied the nomination during a war the administration he's a part of has been winning. Likewise, he's going to win the general for many of the same reasons. Henry Wallace will be president long enough to leave an indelible mark on world affairs and will...
  7. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    Well, IIRC, the drooping airlerons and slats weren't really intended to reduce the takeoff speed. They were meant the Phantom more agile in air to air combat. Any reductions in take off speed were just a bonus.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Ooh. There's a thought. I could see that.
  9. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Oh, yeah, that's right. We are here to fix movies that did not make much of any money, not change bad movies. That would be a different thread.

    Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    The rise of the Serbian Empire and the conquest of Constantinople pushed Belgrade into a world-class city. While Constantinople became the capital, Belgrade was favored considerably, becoming the "second city" of the Empire. The city reached a population of 300,000 and magnificent projects were...

    You may be right, but hat fish movie itself was "woke". so to speak....
  12. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    Hence why I said, he needs to win the throne by right of conquest, because he would need to end all the Capetian claimants, which, besides Henry III of France, there is also Henry III of Navarre, his younger brother, Archbishop Charles, and the Brothers Conde (Henri, and his son that's also...
  13. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    It was pointed out more than once that, providing the population growth in the empire remains more or less the same, even addition of the new agricultural lands would not provide a long-term solution. It is not quite clear to me if, even with Stolypin alive and in power, the program would be as...
  14. What If Paramount Make Twilight

    well i never thought that Paramount making Twilight rumor was so real,Twilight was originally Been Made by Paramount Pictures or MTV Films,Paramount originally was supposed to make Twilight into a far more action-heavy horror movie — something of a high school-set version of Underworld — in...
  15. Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    But will there still be migration to the United States from Europe at anywhere near the same rate? Remember too that the U.S. has immigration quotas in this era that won't be there for, say, the temperate lands of western Kenya.

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    IIRC Wichita was the most unstable of the US Treaty Cruisers, that's something that could be fixed as well without the 10,000 ton limit. I agree on cutting down the range, the only things the Greeks need to be planning on outside of local ops would be working with the British in the Eastern Med...
  17. Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    Well I'm specifically thinking about Visconti Itsly joining Hungary at an alt Varna and destroying the Ottomans (presumably they'd conquer Egypt sometime in the next couple of centuries), but Venice was historically a dominant power in the eastern Mediterranean, and absent the Turks it's not...
  18. Bush Jr Daughters Join the Military

    They would have been a liability in active duty, because they would have had a huge prize on their heads the moment they left the U.S., and if engaged in operations their units would be de facto their security detail. When Prince Harry was deployed in afheganistham his presence was kept...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    So long as we're spitballing ideas...how about a Rocky Horror remake with Jim as the Criminologist and Tim Curry as Dr. Scott?
