  1. AHC: competent Red Army by 1939

    I’m actually going to speak in favour of purging the red army. Slowly. On a competence basis. From 1924. Mostly by retirement, sidelining, etc. Ensuring party rule over the Red Army is a foundational element of it being the Red Army rather than a slightly red nomenklatura military dictatorship...
  2. AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    That was what I was thinking. Is there any way to make people realise the likely consequences earlier on? E.g., by making the industrialisation process start in one region or sector of the economy and only later become more widespread, meaning that people would have plenty of time to observe the...
  3. WI a canal was built from Thessaloniki to Belgrade?

    Assuming you want to be able to take ocean going ships, that's going to involve a LOT of dredging, I would imagine, and probably a lot of dam building, creating artificial lakes, etc. Is there a good source of water at the height of land, or will water have to be pumped up hill, as with the...
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    You know, I was a bit on the fence about this idea, but considering the Song of the South remake and the Walter Elias Disney Signature Series line of movies, I'd be okay with this.

    Threadmarks: Vive La France - by Eglantine Delacour

    An excerpt from Vive La France - Published January 9, 2004, by Eglantine Delacour. Though Louis XII died on 1 January 1515, he left a relatively secure legacy for his son. Louis, Dauphin of France, became King on the moment of his father's death and was crowned, five weeks later, with Suzanne...

    Ottoman Empire & Austria-Hungary collapse naturally?

    The Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary were partition after WWI by the Entente, creating the borders of the Middle East and Central & Eastern Europe. Here are two PODs for this scenario POD 1: What if the Germans won the Battle of the Marne, and captured Paris, and then going to defeat the...

    I've been seeing these maps pop up on Deviantart and Alternatehistory and other sites, but I've never found the template these are based on. Could you point me in their direction?

    He was under consideration to marry Pilar. a daughter of Isabella II.

    This sounds amazing! @Geekhis Khan, take this into consideration!
  11. Fumbling through the Wilderness - a TL from 1918
    Threadmarks: Prologue

    Prologue - The Liberal splinters and the coupon election of 1918 In its British form especially, political liberalism has never survived as a monolith force. A loose coalition of interests characterised by a fierce individualism, to lead it meant not just shepherding a flock as stopping every...
  12. Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    Back in 1994 GM tried to build a top of the line sports sedan that could compete with the best Germany could build. They nearly did it with the Oldsmobile Aurora. It was a great looking car, that anticipated the much admired later Mercedes CLS but was. More practical, had a good engine and a...
  13. Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    A good presentation but a bit too much focused on USN ships, but then my list would be a bit too focused on RN/Commonwealth ships.
  14. Ottomans defeat Nader Shah

    That makes sense if there is a unified Safavid Iran. I wonder how likely that is though, rather than the sort of bloody messes that happened both before and after Nader OTL.
  15. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    People forget the Cold War sometime. I grew up about 7 miles from a pair for Category One targets and around a mile for a High Cat. 2. The joke around the neighborhood growing up was that if the Russians attacked were all supposed to go up on our roof with catcher's mitts to foil their evil plan.

    Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    The Renault models that Pontiac would really want are the Megane, Scenic and Talisman. The Altima is a boring blob, Nissan would never let the Maxima be sold by another brand and they are having enough trouble selling the Titan on their own let alone if divided between two different makers.
  17. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Unless I'm forgetting a major shift in Orthodox theology ITL (which is unlikely since Basileus doesn't really like to touch on theology), this just seems unlikely. Orthodoxy never had a concept of "Holy War," which has its roots in Augustinian theology, something the East pretty strongly...

    I think I know which timeline you're talking about ;)
  19. WI a canal was built from Thessaloniki to Belgrade?

    The river Vardar flows south to the Aegean sea near Thessaloniki and near it is the Morava river which flows north to the Danube near Belgrade. Widening and dredging the rivers, combined with an 80km canal to link them, could let ship traffic bypass the Bosphorus. What if the governments of...
