  1. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    James Baker was Bush’s Secretary of State during his 1st term, and then left to help with Bush’s re-election campaign. Sometimes a person likes coming back to a previous job, sometimes they don’t.
  2. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France - of course the Soviet Union could. More informative questions would be: - Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France and win? Would USSR attack Germany during Battle of France? Should USSR attack Germany during Battle of France? Could...
  3. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Had Edward IV lived a few more years, Henry Tudor would be a Yorkist since Edward IV was very close to giving his titles and lands back before Richard III screwed everything up
  4. American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    Well, I apologize. I was just trying to flesh it out. I agree, of course, that it could make a great timeline. Alas, I don't have time to do one.

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

    I doubt the last bit. Again it depends on how the York attitude to Tudor evolves. If they develop a good attitude towards Tudor probably 50/50. Heck if Tudor's brother likes him he could leave him and his heirs some lands. The thing is Tudor probably becomes loyal to Edward IV here, if Edmund...
  6. The World of Turtledove's In the Presence of Mine Enemies

    Interesting that you bring that up. I haven't written up anything on this specifically yet, but I foresee some sort of event like this - but not in a negative way like we saw IRL in January. But the way I see things happening, the anti-fascist candidate will likely win the 2020 election, but the...
  7. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    On a purely legal basis? Tudor gets all. On a likeliness basis? Tudor gets some money as compensation and Edmund's (eldest) son gets all. If Edmund has only daughters then probably 50/50.

    Rome vs Unified Eastern Mediterranean

    The bigger problem for Rome is that such a Hellenistic state could easily interfere prior to Rome's victory in the Second Punic War, which was after all a pretty close run thing. I don't see a unified-Argead-Empire-sized Hellenistic state being so easily pushed aside by a few rebelling Greek...

    American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    I guess I wish the TL had started just by mentioning the incident and not listed the article. The TL could be interesting with the election, RR maybe getting elected, anti-Nuke people, cleaning up that part of the country. IMHO the author just wrote a poor article with a poor title. I missed...

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

    Not impossible. According to some Margaret was as old as 16. Then things get interesting, @CaptainShadow what would happen here? Tudor is the eldest child and going off strict primogeniture the rightful heir to his Mother's lands. They could split it 50/50.

    AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    Doesn't matter, because these people never dominated the area. The dominant people were always Scythian nomads, and the only places where this wasn't so were on the coastline and connected with the Greek world (ie. Theodoro, Bosporus, etc). Certainly there weren't any politically-relevant...
  12. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    Wasn't an issue that all the bridges over the Dnieper river were blown, and it was hard to supply what they did have until bridges were rebuilt just in time for the 42 offensive??? Attacking at Moscow in October pulls Soviets reserves away allowing Kharkov, Kursk and Rostov to be taken with what...
  13. Jasper Tudor had children. The effects?

    Yes, particularly since the Bretons have expanded outside of their cultural heartland. Also, geopolitics on the world scale would be affected, as the French sponsored Catholicism in their colonial ventures. With the ATL circumstances, Huguenots would take over
  14. AHC: reverse the fates of Eastern and Western Europe

    The research is suggesting that of their sample (Scythian Era Ukraine) very few people moved long distances in their *lifetimes* (sedentary, localised), and were mostly born and raised in the same local region with very little long range movement. This is a different question from whether there...
  15. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    But what if Margaret and Edmund have at least one child? I know a miracle would need to occur for that to happen since she almost died giving birth to Henry Tudor, but life is funny in certain ways. Then again, should that happen, it could start a whole legal battle like with George and Richard...
  16. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    ALL HAIL!!! Autocorrect: revolving, Keybeck, maximalists Is the idea that all the powers would be like this and decry each other for doing what they're doing?
  17. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    These all increase your logistics problems. Now you have to feed and supply your collaborationist locals, instead of taking their food for yourself. This all had to come from Germany. Plus dedicate logistics capacity to supporting those bomber groups within striking range. This all has to...
