  1. What if America banned guns instead of repealing prohibition?

    During the Prohibition Era, to fight against organised criminality, laws could be passed to separated guns into two categories, legal weapons such as handguns and "hunting" rifles that respected the 2nd amendment and "military" weapons such as semi-automatic rifles, SMG and machines guns who...

    What if America banned guns instead of repealing prohibition?

    This was the 1930s. Tell WWI veterans they can't be trusted to own a gun, see how far that proposal gets in the legislature.

    What if America banned guns instead of repealing prohibition?

    No. Guns weren't a political issue in 1933. In fact, the NRA was pro-gun control in the 1930s (largely because of the rising power of gangsters). It wasn't until the culture wars of the 1980s and 90s that guns became a partisan battleground. So this is ASB, basically. It would be nonsensical...

    Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    But again, with perhaps the exception of places like South Africa and Namibia, Africa will be receiving a relatively small percentage of the excess European immigrant population compared to the United States, Latin America, and British dominions such as Canada and Australia. That gets...
  5. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    It depends what you mean exactly by "Salic Law". If you mean having a queen regnant of France, I guess Philip II was the only one to actually consider this. If you mean giving the throne to a male descendant in female line, that's what the Leaguers wanted to do. Had they won the civil war, it is...

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    She did suffer damage in a storm in 1969 and in the 1970s the United States sold some surplus destroyers to the ROCN. It was costly repair the Yukikaze because she was old and the surplus Fletcher-class and Allan M. Sumner-class destroyers would be more effective.
  8. Impact of an early unified Nepal in the 1400s

    A Nepali empire that unites the valley is gonna have to play a very clever game to make sure the north indian states don't unite- if a hegemon in North india appears, their unity makes them tempting for expansion, and fragmentation would be the only thing that could keep them independent. I...

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    There were technical issues. She had some features that would make de-reactoring her to museum state, unsafe, and there were some features that "might" not be too good for a hostile tourist to photograph and take back to his/her own country. Just the reactor alone would be "sensitive"...

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I thought I heard about Yukikaze was planned to be a museum ship but was sunk/damaged in a storm. Might be misremembering.

    Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    They certainly could have. If no necessary reforms were made, and the pre-ww1 status quo was maintained, it is certainly quite possible that they would eventually collapse due to unresolved problems and trying to stave off change. That is however quite unlikely, as it goes much against the...

    Here's a real challenge for those of us in this thread not interested in re-litigating tired arguments about the Disney Star Wars movies: Make "Battlefield Earth" not a flop/terrible. And yes, you have to keep the movie at least close to the original source material. No cheating!

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

    @CaptainShadow suggested I tweak the titles slightly to give Richard and Anne's son both Warwick and Salisbury, as Edward IV would most likely skew the Neville inheritance heavily in favour of his nephew. I have now done that, and given Isabel's son the Buckingham subsidiary title instead.
