  1. AHC/WI Reversed Cold War: Democratic Russia, Totalitarian America

    During the summer of 1917, if the Bolsheviks were to try and overthrow the republican government who then ally with reactionaries like Kornilov to stay in power, you could end up with a reactionary vs republican civil war. In that scenario if the republicans win and have some very good...

    Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    Mayor Larry Agran (D-CA) / Representative Mickey Leland (D-TX): 322 EVs, 37.78% President George H.W. Bush (R-TX) / Vice President Dan Quayle (R-IN): 203 EVs, 33.81% Businessman Ross Perot (I-TX) / Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick (I-OK): 13 EVs, 27.42% no it was a reference to alan keyes' end of...
  3. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    It is true that Goeben did have armour that was proof against 9.2" shells - principally the main belt and the turret faces - at the ranges they were likely to have been engaged But lots of it is not proof aginst such weapons - at 9,000 yards (8,230 m) the 9.2" is penetrating 5.3 in (135 mm) so...
  4. Map Thread XX

    How far east does French-HRE extend?
  5. Sports What Ifs.

    I could see that if the NFL still expands into the same markets it did IRL (the Cowboys and Vikings get replaced by Lamar Hunt's Dallas team and Houston). That would leave the NFL with just 18 teams in the 80s (pre-USFL). (again, assuming the Saints, Falcons, Bucs and Seahawks still get added).
  6. Images from the Footprint of Mussolini

    The Greek flag flying proudly flying over Athens on the 200th anniversary of the country's independence from the Ottoman Empire. Following the restoration of democracy and its liberation from fascism, the country has made a strong commitment to the ITO, while developing its armed forces, albeit...
  7. WI: Spain turns the Philippines into a Settler Colony?

    Why? How many Spanish would be willing to farm and settle there? The Philippines is a hot and tropical place, so unless they simply just need more labor I doubt a considerable population would be willing to go there. Unless they use the islands as a prison colony like Australia, or deport rebels...
  8. Little Rock Nine Massacre

    Okay. Time to stop this abomination. To the OP: I URGENTLY recommend you do some research beyond some basic name checking. This thread is literally into Alien Space Bat territory simply based on the impossible series of events. If this was simply a first try at writing, good for you. More you...
  9. Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Neither of those questions were asked in the 1st post here...
  10. Pride Goes Before a Fall: A Revolutionary Greece Timeline

    This is a story with a point of divergence in the Greek War of Independence. Its author is an American who has deep knowledge of modern greek history. That is admirable. Since today we celebrate in Greece 200 years since our War of Independence, I would like to dedicate to the author the 22nd...
  11. WI: Władyslaw Jagielłło converts to Orthodoxy

    I'm not so sure you would get Poland to adopt Slavonic. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania, absolutely. I think that, under such a regime (pressured by the Teutonic Order and not really having an incentive to follow Moscow into schism, unless the Papacy tries to subjugate them to the Latin Church)...
  12. AHC - Get the USA to intervene militarily in the Iranian Revolution

    Correct, I meant like a proper overthrow the Islamists and put a friendly government in power intervention. Now is there really no one in American politics gung-ho enough to try it? Not even Reagan (assuming he wins in '76)
  13. GOP position on abortion in a timeline where Moral Majority never took off

    Legally or personally? Like, did he believe in banning it or just personally disapproved? And yeah, without someone making it a major issue, it probably becomes settled law like Loving v Virginia. (Which makes me wonder if there’s a TL possibility where people to this day could run for office...

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

    That would lead to carpet-bombing and/or a special-forces team taking Khomeni out, but probably not a significant number of boots on the ground.
  15. Map Thread XX

    This was OTL with Elwood Towner aka "Chief Red Cloud", a Depression-era Native American activist who turned to antisemitism and became a favourite speaker of the German American Bund.
  16. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Problem is; what's this 'oil-short' world stopping from exploring alternatives, such as a more rapid development of coal liquefaction [RL, 1913] or on ethanol [according to Wikipedia, the Ford Model T could!]. There's also the fact that electric cars were almost as promising as petroleum ones...

    GOP position on abortion in a timeline where Moral Majority never took off

    ○ Other: eugenicist pro-abortion for minorities and the working poor.
  18. WW2 Technology WI: Airborne Divisions Create "Drop Pods"?

    Better if you include fins that impart a "stablizing" spin and built in landing nose that will both arrest the spin and ensure a secure exit

    American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    Calling this “American’s Chernobyl” is disingenuous at best. Chernobyl released around 50 million curies of radiation. If there had somehow been a detonation of the conventional explosives, there is only a few pounds of Pu 239 in a bomb. Spreading this out over miles of farmland would not have...

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

    Publicly execute the Hostages on TV, ISIL style. You will get your US intervention.
