  1. Without the Ottomans, what happens to the Mamluks?

    The consequences of the POD of a successful Hungarian Crusade are different from a victorious Tamerlan in Anatolia because Timur will established some kind of Mongol/Muslim state, who at the death of Timur could replaced the Ottomans OTL in Anatolia.
  2. Magniac

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    My feeling is if this film had been made, it's a no-brainer to bring back Vaughan and go pedal to the metal on post-Watergate stuff. I'm a little amazed nobody back then ever did a real cop procedural/political paranoia thriller mashup.
  3. Which countries would have been most likely to fall to Communism during the 20th Century?

    How about Iran? The revolution could have gone quite differently without Khomeini, giving the reds a chance there.
  4. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Could the Ottomans support revolts in Egypt and Sudan? Late in the war they were getting close to revolution.
  5. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    They made a separate peace with them in 1917 though. The pro-Ottoman regent was sent packing and the young Idris became Emir of Cyrenaica under Entente "protection." That didn't last post-war.

  7. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    How would the Ottomans manage to acquire these territories? Would they be able to push the British back, or would some kind of political pressure be used?
  8. Gokturk conquest of Persia during the Third Perso-Turkic War

    Unlikely thw turks were raiding sure but let's not forget the turkick khagante was also in decline by 628 heck not even whent the Muslim armies destroyed the sasanid ones did the turks conquer anything really big or significant of persia proper just transoxiana
  9. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Oh shite, its genetic. Let’s hope we don’t have a Romanov situation here, and that psychosis doesn’t keep recurring in the Kommenian line. The problem with aristocrats in general is that the gene pool tends to be pretty small, due to inbreeding and such. An issue like this can plague a dynasty...
  10. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    WOuld the British withdraw their support, though? Or would they attempt to maintain some of their conquests in the peace deal?

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    My approval of a 'turretless' Lee is on record earlier in this thread, having the Americans experiment with an autoloader on the same platform might actually work in its favour since the off-set casement placement would make room for the similarly offset magazine in a bit of serendipitous design.

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Not quite a sequel, but I keep thinking: the premise of the original 'Forest Gump' movie was that a total nitwit kept inadvertantly showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time and thus played a part in some key moments of history... The history of the sixties, seventies and eighties that is...
  14. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Transposes? Would that be: ‘to change the relative place or normal order of : alter the sequence of’? Or ‘to change in form or nature’ ? Or Dang auto correct? 😁 So, for that one: The answer would be ‘yes’, we have a name, Denson, now, the final two questions remain unanswered, specifically...
  15. Heraclius tries to take Ctesiphon

    Heraclius could have there was no real army to stop him but apart from the bridge collapsing He already saw the writing in the wall and sent word to khosrow to give up now : I pursue and run after peace. I do not willingly burn Persia, but compelled by you. Let us now throw down our arms and...
  16. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)
    Threadmarks: Beginning Preperations

    Oct 24,1939 Ivan Khabarov sat behind his desk reading his new orders. Apparently the upcoming invasion was called off and the troops would do training exercises instead. He thought the men were trained enough for this but apparently Stalin did not. He was not one to question orders...
  17. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I didn't know that about the Yukizaze. Thank you.
  18. American Venezuelan Filibuster

    Say on the eve of the Federal war right when Venezuela was weakest and about to break, what if a small army of American filibusters successfully invaded? Could Venezuela be annexed, and if so how? Could this cause the American Civil War to break out a year or two sooner? What would be the long...
