  1. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Reality is that, with very few exceptions, there is no difference. The Italians used aircraft to drop chemical weapons in Ethiopia and the Japanese did the same with bioweapons in live testing an Chinese civilians. those were both violations of the Laws of War. Beyond that? No real difference...

    It would take another six months before Richard consciously uses his abilities. A new girl joined his schoolroom. Her name was Jackie Graham, and she was the most beautiful thing that Richard had ever seen. Spurred on by his hormones, he gathered up the courage to speak with her. The...

    WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    An overambitious monarch is probably the last thing France needs right now, after years of war under the Sun King, with the main thing being won “honor.” France was at this point, AFAIK, exhausted financially and militarily. Napoleon did not simply transform France overnight, first there was a...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I got to the point where the Central Eurasian Provisional Authority exists, and I got to a new set of focus trees. I'm at the screen with "Dismantle Slavophilia" on it, and I can't seem to find any trees for invading other countries. Do I have to go through every focus on the screen before I can...
  6. Abnormally Suasive

    I think I see what you're trying to convey. In the end empathy is more powerful because of all the different situations it can mitigate. Whereas sympathy really limits your options.
  7. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    That's one hell of a compliment: thank you very much, on behalf of @Tarabas and myself :) Your point is as good as usual. As a matter of fact, Italy should be in an even better position, since they don't even need to pull a full Meiji, being in many ways in a better position than Japan was...
  8. Map Thread XX

    Ah, I am more of a worldbuilder than a proper writer. I might try my hand at it, but I would definitely be alright with people dabbling around with it.
  9. WI: Middle East as cultural power comparable to East Asia

    You need the ottoman empire and CP to win, if the entete powers collapse they OE can easily sweep back egypt and their lost middle east possesions and influence back persia

    Little Rock Nine Massacre

    I was wondering about that. I know that the military was still somewhat racist at the time, but I’m pretty sure the average para would plug the Klansman before they got close when a CHILD is on the line!
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    More like a half-million dollars today, maybr. It's hard to find a decent calculator, but most of the few I've seen give values not less than a half-million dollars, up to over 800K. So yeah, incredible wastes of time and money.

    Metromedia chief John Kluge is on a spending spree. His purchases include Vestron Video and the merger of New Line Cinema with the cash-strapped Hemdale studio. - CBS Evening News Ron Miller confirms Orion's plans to place the Fat Albert TV series in the public domain. - USA Today Rupert...

    I seriously did not consider that bit of 80's cheese. And now that you explained it, I'm left wondering how the heck I didn't see it like that.
  14. Explain the AH Quote

    A quote from the book "A History of the European Continent Between the World Wars", more specifically page 137. "With compromise no longer possible, Swabian forces crossed into Bavaria on March 17, 1927. Within three weeks the massive chain of alliances in Europe had activated and dragged the...

    What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Shiny Happy Noncorrupt Democracy Russia is pretty much a non-starter. Their history for the last several centuries has been either feudal autocracy, authoritarian communism, or authoritarian kleptocracy. I place equal blame on Narodnaya Volya (for being stupid fucking accelerationists, when it...
  17. “Arab spring” like uprisings in early 1980s

    Agreed. But some zones would be a little more complicated, eg. Iran. OTL the Soviets didn't meddle too much in the affairs of post-Revolutionary Iran. But that might change if the events of a proto-Spring somehow compel the Iranians to extend their violent anti-Communism past the early days of...
  18. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    Why would they need to challenge the existing parties? This whole dynamic of "American" vs "British" interests is unlikely to be the dividing one. They would be one of multiple interest groups in parliament, just like Westcountry agriculturalists or London merchants, who would join existing...

  20. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I that to quote myself but as I said before "Most likely scenario, at least a few American bombers get shot down , some American pilots get killed and not a single prisoner escapes. Auschwitz was in Poland which meant US bombers would have to fly long distances through enemy controlled space and...
