  1. Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    Austria_hungary was in a similar position. Until late in WW1 it was everybody's lesser evil For the Hungarians it wasthe lesser evil to a much more unequal partnership with Germany For Galician Poles and Jews it was the lesser evil to annexation by Tsarist Russia. For Czechs and Slovenes it...

    Would it be possible for the Western Turkic Khaganate to conquer Persia during the Third Perso-Turkic War What would be the impact of this How would the Gokturks deal with the rise of Islam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Perso-Turkic_War
  3. Impact of an early unified Nepal in the 1400s

    If Nepal was unified in 14th century instead 18th century drastically changes, for one, there would be a Stable State in the Subcontinent, one that is united by Language and Culture and seems to have much more robust foundations than any other Subcontinental States, Nepal would be perhaps bit...

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

    I'm surprised and glad that you said that. Cheers.
  6. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I sort of kind of wish one of the Alaska's would have ended up a museum ship (even if it's one where it's put on dry land to save money). They might not have been worth the money or resources to build them but they'd make cool museum ships. Same with say HMS Hood if she'd survived the war.
  7. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    Wow the idea of actually restoring it into actual service never occurred to me. It seems frankly insane. Beyond the vast costs involved in actually restoring it to military standards the fact that it would be a pretty easy target for a sufficiently large LGB bunker buster seems to render the...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The naval version had a smaller and lower loading tray which still held six rounds, this version could at least fit in a casement or even a turret .
  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Btw, the one who won the Trumbull seat (Lincoln seat ITTL) after Lincoln was elected was Owen Lovejoy, while the other seat is held by Browning. So Illinois is split between a very conservative Senator and a very Radical one. Logan may try to "primary" Browning instead. I just discovered that...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline
    Threadmarks: Appendix D: September 1525, Ananuri

    September 1525, Ananuri The rain patterned away at the walls of the tent, sounding like the stamping feet of marching soldiers or the faint clatter of galloping horsemen. David shuddered and crossed himself for the umpteenth time that day, but didn't break stride. He paced across the muddy...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Sorry guys, there was a giant hail storm last night and I was busy dealing with that.
  12. AHC/WI: US Adopts Jefferson's "Measures Plan"

    To a certain extent that was already the case IOTL--there were many instances of "metric foot" and "metric pound" in the 19th century, and you see things such as the Chinese li or the Russian verst that were either "metricized" or were very close to a metric unit and could have been metricized...
  13. Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    This has got to be the most comprehensive and plausible idea to save Triumph and Leyland Group in this particular scenario, well done good sir.
  14. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Creed Bratton also appears in the madnessverse office. His character is exactly the same.

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

    I think Thomas would be a great way to boost attendance for the United Kingdom pavilion as a ride, since the World Showcase lacks rides (especially family rides) while being thematically appropriate to the UK, as it's known for train locomotives and they actually made the TV show.

    What if the Greek Revolution failed?

    Mahmud II not getting a direct rejection from the ulema... or coming to his senses... or Alexander I plain out threatening the Sultan. Not necessarily. A Greek state succeeded as the rebellion was concentrated on Greek and Christian area. Rebelling in Thrace, Aegean Anatolia and Black Sea...
  18. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    Similar things could have been said of early bourgeois-liberal states, especially the revolutionary ones. It would not be *surprising to a see a degree of authoritarianism (though, at least in the US, probably to a lesser extent than that of the pre-revolutionary state) in the immediate...
  19. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    I mean I'm pretty sure by volume 1 dollar bills might make up for the majority of US notes printed. I imagine the cost is mostly the same per bill (Though I think they put extra security bits and pieces for the 20,50, and 100 dollar bill.) I do know they were talking about phasing out the 100...
