  1. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    ...15 in 1702; IMO there was no chance of his being elected stadtholder of the five major provinces in OTL, and I see no reason why both of the Orange *heirs would be passed over for him ITTL. *William IV, OTOH, would be 26. His brother *Charles would be 23. Both would be plausible candidates...
  2. The 1988 Democratic primaries if Jesse Jackson didn’t run

    I agree in just the abstract, Gore does better. But if Jackson doesn’t run would somebody else try and get in his lane? Depending on who that might be, would be secondary effects.

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Here's a challenge: Judge Dredd, (1995) My thoughts, (from memory): NEVER remove Dredd's helmet No having Dredd kiss Hershey Dump Rob Schneider's character Don't use Chief Judge Fargo, Chief Judge Griffin would be better. Better cannon use of the Cursed Earth, the Angel Gang & ABC Warriors...
  4. Charlamagne dies in the winter of 771-2

    Let's say Charlamagne dies close to the time his brother and rival Carloman dies. Both have very small sons. Unfortunately, Charles (won't be called Charlamagne)'s is Pippin but his wife is pregnant with a second son. With no adult head of the Kingdom of the Franks, what happens long term...
  5. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Yes Off topic but other option is to send a land army’s through Sudan Better still have Eritreans do the work if mistrals can supply them via red sea

    More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Yeah the old Protecteurs could carry three each. Speaking of them, they also got decommissioned around the same time as the Iroquois class. So the RCN lost A LOT of helicopter capability in the 2010s. The interim support ship Asterix can only carry two, and the same will be true of the new...
  7. AHC: competent Red Army by 1939

    Not really. What goes for the mechanized and air forces also go for the infantry and artillery, even leaving aside the fact the former are much more expensive than the latter. Having a more solid training network and logistical basis set-up come 1938 will pay massive dividends when it comes to...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    ...Tank and Armour regiments and allow that initially Cavalry regiments would be able to have a squadron of the lesser Crusiers and later the Valiant* to give them some spine (a bit like a modern Armoured Cav Regiment) and once the heavy AEC is available have it issued like the Firefly in recce...
  9. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    Even if the rich had the same TFR (proof please) they'd also do things like go into the priesthood, go aboard and never come back, etc. Peasants have more children because each mouth to feed can also add labor (starting from the age of 4-5). And why would societal patterns be vastly...

    More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Canada won't spend the money.
  11. The 1988 Democratic primaries if Jesse Jackson didn’t run

    I don't think Al Gore gets much going, though he may smear the Duke worse than he did in OTL. Gephardt's vote stays the same, because his base would take a bullet for him, but there was not enough of them to seize the primary. If we are assuming in this timeline Gary Hart still Gary-Harts...
  12. WIP Map Thread

    The First or Second Ones. Although I personally think it would be even better if Florida (both halves) were either a part of Canada or another independent nation
  13. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    In pre-industrial societies fertility rates were not lower among richer peoples, in fact if anything they would have more surviving children as a general rule because more well off people would have better nutrition, generally be less likely to be in worse professions without having the...
  14. Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    Can someone go into more detail on the effect on Africa? How much European immigration would there have been, and would it only really be seen in northern Africa, Rhodesia, and South Africa, or would it have been more widespread? How might decolonization be affected by larger European (and...
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Don't forget about Ed, Edd, n Eddy, which was very close to becoming a Nicktoon IOTL.
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    It was almost certainly due to the infamous scene in Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures. With that being gone, I can see Tattertown being the first Nicktoon in 1990, with Doug, Rugrats, and The Big Beast Quintet following suit in 1991. After that, who knows what'll happen? In fact, feel free to...

    Indian Territory Independence after CSA Victory

    With all that Oil in the Indian Nation’s border, could the Indian Nation industrialize around major cities, like Tulsa, and get investments from foreign nations to build up that industry?
  18. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Yeah I seem to recall the Iroquois could also each carry two Sea King Helicopters. I seem to recall at least some of their UNREP ships also carried (or carry ?) Sea Kings but I may be miss rembering this.
  19. Fate of an Entente Netherlands in a CP Victory Scenario?

    If Wilhelmina had died before 1909 before she had here daughter Juliana then William Ernest, Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach would have become king of the Netherlands as he was the grandson of Princess Sophie of the Netherlands.
