  1. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    At the very least, the Revolution itself could've been avoided if Britain assigned some competent people to head the Colonies, instead of all the rejects. Having anybody except Thomas Gage or George Sackville running the show is an improvement.
  2. What would the British do if German tanks roll into Dunkirk? (no halt order)

    This only makes sense if you assume the Halt Order really was a capricious decision on Hitler's part inspired by panic. Since we now know the decision originated with Generals at the front and reflected the reality that the Panzer Divisions were exhausted and depleted after two weeks of...
  3. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Von Braun took this squirreling away to extremes when at the Army Ballistic Missile group. When ordered to shut down the Redstone project, he persuaded the brass to let him conduct a “long term storage test”. So when Vanguard went Kaputtnik, he has a bunch of Redstones (rebranded as Juno) all...

    Three monarch death from unnatural cause? Are they being cursed?
  5. Map Thread XX

    Speaking about taking numbers seriously, is the population for the Frankish Empire just for the European metropole?
  6. Challenge: Have a Quasi-Fascist POTUS elected in 1932

    Thanks for the clarification.
  7. Earliest self-rule for India as a part of the British Empire

    The unfair tariff, the colonial government giving guarantee for unprofitable railway routes paid for by the Indian tax payer, chopping of hands of weavers and other artisans ( nothing to do with industrialization) , oppressive taxation during time of famine- the east India Company had no clue...

    In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    I like British America thread a lot, so thanks for making the discussion. Britain intervening within the colonies went against the long standing policy of statutory neglect, refusing to accept the new political reality in the colonies. Which was interesting because a unique trait of Britain's...
  9. Alternate History Combat Aircraft

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

    Don't have experience with Mexican customers so much, Argentina the biggest problem is the government who makes international stuff hard (which means we basically end up trusting our customers more in a way). In comparison to Russia, not even close.
  11. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    yeah, but people think lots of things.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I hope that this kind of event never happens ITTL, but it really just depends on how pervasive ethnoreligious chauvinism will become in Russian society over the centuries, and whether they will weaponize it against the native peoples of the frontier like the Circassians, Nenets, Vainakhs, and...
  13. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    And you'd be correct on that, because I AM surprised about this! Speaking of Atari not being sold off, what would you say to this being an early hit for the evolution of Fox's Games of the Century division for the Atari 7800? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momoko_120%25 I mean, given the runaway...

    And the Czarevich as well... Nikolai IV is Alexander's second son. As of Primakov, he served as Foreign Minister at the time of the Vladisvostok terrorist attack.
  15. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    So if RAF Bomber Command had just said we can't bomb within miles of the target at night what should they have done? Give up the whole idea? Go back to daylight bombing, despite the losses? Have only tactical aviation? With the technological limitations of the time what were their alternatives...

  17. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    I speculated earlier in the thread it might be his OTL successor, Yuri Andropov. He took over in 1975 after Brezhnev had a stroke before formally becoming Premier in 1982...followed by crashing and burning and dying shortly after of kidney failure.

  20. Challenge the Keep British empire together after World War I

    Not sure that a back bench MP or 1st Lord of the Admiralty had much influence over colonial policy in 1939. He did resign over policy of making India a Dominion in 1931 but it was Conservative and Labour policy to support this policy. Not sure why naming a ship Agincourt caused the fall of the...
