    Egypt as an African Pakistan

    I think Egypt would struggle to project power that far south. Mogadishu is 5000km from Cairo, much of it though difficult terrain, and Kampala is a similar distance only this time it’s also 1000km inland. Even the European colonial powers didn’t really have much ‘control’ over their African...
  2. Emerald of The Equator: An Indonesian TL

    So Indonesia might reach "Italy" levels of GDP per capita PPP? It should also benefit from Japanese expertise in high speed rail. How would the healthcare system work in Indonesia TTL, is there may benefits that the state provides? I do wonder, with much better auto industry, rail, living...

    Earlier use of Tall Boys

    If Hillman is successfully suppressed and captured fairly quickly have to assume that British units would be able to reach the northern outskirts of Caen by the evening of the 6th. If they're able to pause, secure positions, and prepare to assault the next day do they have a decent chance of...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Thing is it's easy enough to work or starve people to death. You don't need gas chambers. You can bury them alive, or copy the Romanians and push them into sealed train cars and wait for suffocation to occur like the Romanians did. I'm sure the Nazis would have gotten creative if they didn't...
  5. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Of all the countries that operated carriers post WW2, i would say Brazil would be up there as one of the best, alongside India and Australia (since Brazil actually managed to retain a CATOBAR carrier capability well into the 2000's). Brazil did briefly operate the Sao Paulo (Ex Foch) and before...
  6. What if Henry VIII had been better prepared to be King?

    Henry VII had 7 years to prep the teenage and young adult Henry VIII, who was also highly intelligent and scholarly. There is no reason to expect Henry VIII to be any better prepared than he was.
  7. Sports What Ifs.

    They can draft both, let's say demands more first rounder from texans and they say no. The just took watson at #12
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    @Rich Mullins How do you like the TL so far?
  9. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I mean the aesthetic is impeccable I've gotta say. If I were to quibble, id question whether Christian writers of the period would be willing to give the Bataids or the Asmarids the title of Empires really- the title is just as connected to being Rome as Romanorum. Also the genitive plural...

    Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    The Bush Admin had promised the Russians not to expand NATO eastward, however Clinton pursued the opposite course of action after the fall of the Soviet Union. Would Bush do the same?
  11. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Hey uh what kind of artillery are the Greeks using? Their not still relying on old pieces from the 1919-1922 Greco-Turkish War & WW1 are they?
  12. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918

    This is interesting. I wonder what the effects of the divergences will be on the 1920s in Britain. Certainly not the best of times - maybe it will be better, maybe not.
  13. AHC: competent Red Army by 1939

    Stalin falling off the reviewing platform at a May Day parade in the early 1930s could have smooth things out a little
  14. Wi President Cordel Hull

    Re David T Yes, FDR could not "appoint" anyone as his successor, but he could have 'anointed' Hull as his chosen successor. The nomination would still be contested but I have a hard time seeing the Democratic Party of 1940 defying FDR's wishes.

    AHC get a Dixiecrat POTUS

    Is this a timeline? Where can I find it?
  16. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    There’s more efficient ways to get a expensive ship, a dozen expensive harriers plus a dozen or two dozen expensive helicopters, and a thousand or so highly trained and thus expensive men lost when their carrier eats an Exocet, Harpoon, or some flavor of Russian asm launched by an asset of the...
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The MkVII and MkVIII track system was liked well enough to form the basis of some late/post war SP and APC proposals and trials.
  18. Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    There is no way a German Field Marshall would have been acceptable as head of state or commanding general in post war Germany. Rommel's assumed role in the anti Hitler conspiracy has been used by many to romanticize Rommel. Even in the wildest imagination of the plot succeeding and Rommel...
