  1. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    They could have - they have an army after all - any army even a poor one can launch an attack and while it had many issues in May 1940 and was not as good as the Heer it wasn't that bad! But they wouldn't - Stalin would not have had the confidence With hindsight certainly they should have I...
  2. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    TR returmed from the west and became involved in the rebuilding of New York. Teddy was a war hero and became Governor of New York. In 1900 he was selected as the Nationalist Candidate for President of the United States and went on to win the National election.
  3. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Beauforts had NO claim. Richard of York was Henry VI’s heir presumptive and Edward IV was recognized as King by everyone after Westminster’s death Keep Edward IV‘s line on the throne and Tudor’s chances will remain the same

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There is no point in building a special air force on a special front for a special mission. The air force to be effective in the camp missions will of necessity be large enough to execute battlefield interdiction missions. And if the thing is built to successfully attack the camps through the...
  5. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    He was called as husband of Mary and got the crown only because his wife said who she wanted the crown to go to William and Parliament still accepted only a joint rulership.

    WI: Sebastian of Portugal Returns = No Iberian Union

    Without an Iberian Union, how would Spain deal with wars in Europe, like the Dutch Revolt, and the English? Also, could Portugal keep their monopoly over the Spice Trade, and for how long?

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

    Nope, Beauforts had a claim. Richard II never specified if they could inherit the throne or not and based on what he did say in his will one could argue the Beauforts had inheritance rights. Henry IV's exclusion of them is disputed, hence they had a claim of some form. I suppose, but overall...

    Hail, Britannia

    What is the most popular alternate history scenario ITTL?
  9. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    He was neither. The Beauforts were NOT true claimants and the Lancastrian line died with Edward of Westminster. His odds against Edward IV were inexistent, his odds against Richard III were pretty good since the beginning. Remember who Henry VII feared Yorkist claimants for all his life and...
  10. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    He was called to England because some members of parliament wanted to get rid of James I and he only wanted to help them get rid of James I if he could become king. After that he invaded and effectively conquered England.
  11. Tiberius Gracchus - More Successful?

    Putting the Consuls of the year in charge of this gradual reform resolves most of the Senate’s concerns on both issues and allows them huge influence in steering how it is done.
  12. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    The Hillman fortress that sat astride the main roads to Caen from Sword beach was far more extensive than was appreciated and it very likely was the greatest German contribution to the failure of 3rd Division reaching Caen on D-Day Perhaps a greater appreciation of the fortifications results in...
  13. The Plantagenet Succession

    Ahh, thank you. Also, I'd actually like to see Alien Space Bats. Has Doctor Who ever done it? A slight spoiler - Carlos will obtain a lot more by the end, so he can afford to lose Italy. Remember, this time, there's only him and Eleanor - no brother to divide everything between...
  14. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    He was called in England and supported EXCLUSIVELY BECAUSE he was married to Mary. And English Parliament would NEVER gave him the crown if Mary had NOT INSISTED on it
  15. Tiberius Gracchus - More Successful?

    Good idea, but what will Tiberius's brother in law, Scipio Aemilianus do when he hears about the proposal while he's bogged down in Spain with the Celtiberian tribes? In contrast to Aemilianus's cosmopolitan sheen in public, deep down he was a rock ribbed optimate despite his unconventional...

    AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    USA was the Great Satan USSR was the Little Satan Invading a crazed Theocracy might be one of the few joint efforts the two superpowers could agree on during the Cold War: if the Soviets don't stay when done
  17. The Plantagenet Succession

    ASB, or Alien Space Bats, is an expression to say something borders an implaussible territory.
  18. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    ...wanted the conflict in 1848/49 to end in a negotiated settlement, unlike Kossuth and his radical idiocy. But the collapse of A-H here doesn't *have* to involve combat (again, anyway), and depending on when and how it happens, Hapsburgs remaining on the throne there is not outside the realm...

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

    Yes because C fought for B in B’s name hence B killed A. I’m saying he beat all odds by getting the throne.
  20. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    Black historians (1950s-1960s) struggling to get plantation walkouts during the American Civil War recognized as a bona fide "General Strike" instead of as a pre-capitalist peasant revolt is perhaps one of the more interesting history feuds I've thought up.
