  2. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    That claim came later, after the original question for a source The original claim for a source is for this statement "hand over the land" To hand over the land requires no source. Now you asked about the 90% And here are some sources: This book page 169, scroll down "In 1916...
  3. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    @pompejus: William was behind both Mary and Anne in the line of succession. He got the crown (as co-ruler of his wife) because he was married to Mary and she forced the joint coronation (as the English wanted Mary as Queen and William as simple King Consort) and in no way his nephew would be...
  4. Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    The ‘Vette would stay with Chevy regardless of what GM does with Pontiac, there’s way too much brand equity with that model. Part of the Corvette’s allure is that it’s considered the Blue Collar Man’s Supercar and the Chevy nameplate is part of that image. Not to mention that there likely is no...

    Make Canada a Penal colony?
  6. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Soviets have more than enough of army divisions - including their tanks and artillery - and aircraft to burn in 1940. Germany - less so. The experienced veterans and theis Bf 109s are mostly in France now. Luftwaffe PoWs remain under French custody, unlike in OTL. Soviets will not be drawn into...
  7. Earlier use of Tall Boys

    Just act on Barnes Wallis's 1941 Paper on larger Bombs. The Tallboy could have been operational by late 1942. I think the Wiki article is wrong when it states that the lancaster had to nbe strpped of turrets and Armour to carry the Tallboy, IIRC that was only required for the 20,000lb Grand slam...
  8. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Edward IV simply saw him as someone with no realistic claim to the crown of England, not as a nobody. And Henry Tudor at Bosworth had the decisive support of the Edwardian Yorkists, as without it he would be still in Brittany, in exile, without hope to conquer the English crown.
  9. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    Depends on which nomenklatura liquidates Melvyn Dubovsky, doesn’t it, I guess? that’s pretty much what Soviet historians and historiography went through.
  10. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    Can we see a way for South Africa to get an aircraft carrier given the size of their coastline and the sheer numbers of ships going around the Cape? Using helicopters from a carrier to strike at guerilla forces in Angola, Namibia or Mozambique could have made a difference. Anti-submarine warfare...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 24 February 1941. Cairo, Egypt.

    24 February 1941. Cairo, Egypt. Brigadier Harold Charrington’s staff had been expecting the orders to come for a few days, so when the despatch rider entered First Armoured Brigade’s HQ with movement orders from GHQ Middle East Command, the process of putting them into to operation was quite...

  13. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    it may be flippant to say, but America is Warmer (as in climate) so that's probably a reason people opted to go south rather than north. Not really sure how you'd get around that tbh.

  15. "Union of families" (Britain and the Netherlands, post-1702-1714)

    He was not, his mother, the wife of Willem II was also a Stuart, the daughter of Charles I https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_Princess_Royal_and_Princess_of_Orange Part of the reason why William III managed to claim to be king, especialy after Mary passed away, was because he himself was a...
  16. What would the Treaty of Berlin look like if Germany chose to back Russia's claims?

    Headcanon: The "Imperial Alliance" eventually merges via Dynastic Union, expands it's influence over the rest of the world and eventually into North America after the collapse of the USA. There Zefram Cochrane captures several Vulcan Starships and the Terran Empire is born ;) .
  17. What if the Soviet Union never existed?

    There was an election held in 1917 on the 25th of novemeber. If Lenin dies in 1918 or perhaps just a bit earlier than that, then the Constituent Assembly is in charge. The monarchy has already abdicated, they will most likely not have any power. Finland the Baltics and the Ukraine all showed...
  18. NHBL

    AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    I'm going to look at this assuming a minimum of border adjustments with the USA. So, we need a reason for more immigration to Canada. Here's one longshot: When a Great War breaks out in Europe somewhere in the early 20th century, the United States has stricter neutrality laws for whatever...
