    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Not much of a plan behind these boxes, though generally it's a much more unstable US, with Washington taking a third term, a more worse War of 1812 and an alt-Hartford Convention that brings about the first of many civil wars. Consider the present time to be around 1999, two hundred years after...

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

    I would totally be even more awkward and insist on Lady Jane Grey being counted. She was Edward's designated heir after all!
  3. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    That does assume that thing actually change and the current generations don't learn the same lessons. The signs are less than promsing- 40% inflation and 'unconventional tools' sounds like a combination which will end badly.

    Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Two words: David Beatty. IRL Beatty screwed up the deployment in the first place and failed to have 5th BS support his battlecruisers. Now I am not a Beatty hater. Beatty was courageous, actually pretty smart and, when he wanted to be, efficient. But he was also aggressive to a fault, and...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Well, there's another country I can't visit.
  6. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I don't see too much of an issue with it. For one, such a merger could be the equivalent of the Fox acquisition in our timeline: a way to compete with streaming outlets. So, in other words, it wouldn't happen for a decade or more into this timeline's future since right now we're only up to...

    With thanks to @Gryphon for graphical support. _ The Interstellar Brotherhood of Shipbreakers was formed by the merger of several existing shipbreaking unions, primarily on Mars, the Belt, and in the eastern colonies. The IBSB traces its roots to the the original "illegal" unions formed in the...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The reality is that ALL the "battlefield preparation" and interdiction by heavy bombers was done at the request (closer to demand) of the ground commanders Neither Doolittle/Arnold nor Mad Bomber Harris were eager to be diverted from wiping out the Luftwaffe/German industry or the "dehousing...

    Have Norton Motorcycles continue to be a successful company

    Apart from having the rights bought and now used in India right now, have Norton Motorcycles be a successful volume producing company. The company like Triumph must produce at least 50,000 units per year. Much obliged
  10. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Also, a lot of the family resemblance is in the solar panels wings--and don't they have design heritage from the MSFC power module for shuttle? Any space station scenario with a 1970s-to-1980s POD will probably end up resembling ISS strongly because of that, I think. EDIT: Whereas, if you had...
  11. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    With what money do they lease it? Apart from that I think the French would be inclined to do that.
  12. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    Parliament, meaning those Parliamentarians who'd expelled James II, couldn't stand their ground because if William went home then James would come back and take their heads, or at least their lands. William had them over a barrel and knew it.

    Earlier use of Tall Boys

    The US used the 10,000 pound M-121, the US version of the Tallboy, with an extended fuze, in Vietnam. Was to make an instant LZ for clearing jungle. They were dropped by Skycrane Helicopter or by C-130. Any VC within a quarter mile of the detonation would be killed or stunned, and set off...
  14. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    If matched like that then I suspect they would be less likely to run off without 5 BS in support in the first place And if taking losses in the scenario you suggest they are not going to keep sailing in line to all get killed
  15. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Warwick has two daughters and two separate Earldoms inheritable in female line, each with substantial lands and would be glad to see his girls becoming Royal Duchesses. ATL Edward would likely give his consent to the matches as that will provide adequately to his brothers and neither is his own...

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

    Not sure, I'll go check if there is any. An Irish noble could work to secure loyalty there though.

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

    No, i was saying that if Rutland si like Gloucester is not changing much EIV still marries Woodwyle, there still the battles of Barnet and Tewkesbury and thats all
  18. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    As third son, I doubt that George will get a foreign bride, so are there any likely heiresses for George?

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

    But you said Edward IV not Rutland, again this is derailing the thread.

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

    And this explains why it will take up to 2050 for the problem to solve itself due demographic changes
