  1. Fate of an Entente Netherlands in a CP Victory Scenario?

    That sounds like it would have been a good model for reform of the Ottoman Empire
  2. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    But they're going to expand at a much faster rate sooner or later (natives are almost certainly going to have a much higher TFR than European settlers)

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

    For the Finnish Navy: The coastal defence ship Väinämöinen. One of the two biggest ships of the Finnish Navy has built so far. Was handed over to the Soviets after WWII, and served as the Vyborg until being scrapped in 1966. The minelayer Ruotsinsalmi. Built in 1940, along with its sister...
  4. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Isn't Ethiopia land locked these days?
  5. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    For anti piracy ops you don't even need a harrier carrier. Something like the recent USN x class will do the job fine. Basically take a large newish merchant hull. Mount a CIWS and a few pintle mounts for HMG and grenade launchers. Add facilities for say a company or two of spec ops forces. Add...
  6. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Probably not. Mostly because they use American air-to-ground munitions and would need to acquire suitable ones to take down a dam. And it's in Uncle Sam's best interests to say "Yeah, no." Not to mention with no aerial refueling capability they're going to have a hell of a time getting even...
  7. What if the Soviet Union never existed?

    True, but it’d be much harder for the elites to distract the lower classes sufficiently with Hungry as the big socialist red menace that goes bump in the night, as opposed to a USSR that has nukes and has colonized half of Europe.
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Why is this thread not in Chat? It has less to with discussing alternate history, and more to do with discussing a moral/political debate.

    Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    You need governors or presidents who recognize the problem, decide to solve it and whenever they need to buy concrete, they demand top quality whether they need it or not. And when the suppliers come with a bribe to ask them to allow weaker concrete, this paladin of honesty and productivity...
  10. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    a more successful Operation Neuland attack on the oil refineries in the Caribbean? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Neuland or even extended to terminals on the US Gulf Coast?
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Now, I don't condone copious amounts of booze in one sitting, but I was the guy who predicted that he'd become an alcoholic to ease his pains during the first few pages, so I'll make an exception in his specific case right then and there. Maybe Ralph Bakshi's Tattertown cartoon pulls an OTL...
  12. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Honestly, the only way it's remotely possible is if Spain falls apart somehow and the Moroccans end up with Granada or the environs there of. The Spanish/Portuguese option isn't realistic (Spain will always have more important fish to fry in Europe as opposed to the giant money sink of a...
  13. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    Maybe not at the same rate but the population did decline by about 1/3 and given the already relative low population density in the region the argument that the native population is too big has really no merit.

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    BARs were too long to jump with, WWII airborne units used the Browning M1919 in its place. Former paratrooper and son of a paratrooper.

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

    Ok, well if Edmund is like Richard does not change much, maybe he convince him to not marry Woodwille or simply does not kill her first husband, if he does not kill her first husband so Edward will not marry her but ofc will not marry Warwick's choice so the battles of Tewkesbury and Barnet...
  16. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    @CV12Hornet They have a bone to pick with Ethiopia over the dam Do you think Egypt had the military might to destroy it if Ethiopians resisted ?

    Hey, if you want to have a competition, set up a new thread and poll. But, like @RedKing has said before, please stay on topic here in the thread.
