    In otl Egypt managed to take Somaliland and Kismayo which is even farther south than Mogadishu. Ethiopia was rather divided until the 1870s

    Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Didn't the Senussi Order fight both Italy and Britain?
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Hence the old joke that about 75 percent of all Russian top soil is consisting primarily out of human teeth.
  4. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    Ahhh, a thing of beauty. What a timeline would be with these cars on the streets of Argentina... https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justicialista_(autom%C3%B3vil) Given that IAME was already producing pick-ups for work purposes (the Rastrojero, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastrojero) I'm...
  5. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    In the "for what it's worth" department: in World War II guerilla raids could either go very well (the St. Nazaire raid) or very badly (Dieppe). The Germans had very few resources to spare for guerilla raids and in any case the animosity which brewed between the various branches of the armed...
  6. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Yeah from what I understand there were problems with the death squads that committed shooting massacres (Like Babi Yar). They tended to have very high rates of alcoholism, nervous breakdowns, suicides, and even cases of death squad members taking leave and going home to kill their families and...
  7. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There is something in what you say - I mean the attacks on the landing beaches by medium bombers on D-Day might have well have not bothered - but I can point to a number of operations (by 617 and 100 Sqdn for example) where very accurate tactical bombing was conducted in direct support of the...

    Wi President Cordel Hull

    Under these circumstances, I consider it likely that Hull would die in office. However, this might butterfly the Truman Presidency if Hull picks someone other than Wallace as his running mate then sticks with him in '44.
  9. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    What would justify them?
  10. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    Perhaps, if nothing further happens then banks may seem less risky. Though you might be under-estimating the family effects, children pick up habits about money from their parents (both good and bad) so it may take even longer for actual habits to be rebuilt even if 'trust' does recover...

    AHC get a Dixiecrat POTUS

    So apart from racial issues he seems to be a pretty positive figure. Could he be reelected and maybe soften his racial views after finishing his therm?
  12. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    You may be under a misconception regarding the demographic situation in Latin America. The further you go from the coast and the temperate mountain areas, the more likely you are to find assimilated native people. That plus the somewhat rational attitude the Spanish had to racial mixing (at...
  13. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    true but now they have no aircraft for it due to being kicked out of the 35 project. Also I suppose it depends on what the OP is looking for, I mean if it’s helicopter carrier does stuff like the planned Qatari hull meet that Even though she’s a small LHD?
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    Before Italy entered the war, troopships were usually escorted by a cruiser
  15. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    The red areas represent the highest incidences of malaria. Europeans tend not to last long in malarial areas. Trying to turn the Phillippines into a settler colony just gets you a lot of dead Europeans. I'm amazed the Spanish did as much as they did tbh. The Dutch held Indonesia for only a...
  16. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    I really can't, Buckingham's OP enough as it is I'm not really feeling Edward giving him an heiress. Could see him married to one of Montagu's daughters tho. The wiki's wrong, Bourchier was dead before 1462 and she and Woodville were married before Towton. Besides isn't she like 15 years his...
  17. What if the Soviet Union never existed?

    There would be still socialist movements altough probably much more moderate than communism. And Germany probably still experience Spartacist revolution and Béla Kun might still establish socialist state in Hungary.

    Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Something memey I found:
  19. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    And even if he is born ITTL (quiet possible when Libyan history is not changed yet at this point very much) him would has completely different life.
