  1. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    As I said I'm not questioning the reality of rape on campaign or even that some manner of 3 day rule has at times been indulged in history*, just the narrative that it was rough punishment visited on Germany by a red army justifiably looking for vengeance. Because as I said they raped Russian...

    Earliest self-rule for India as a part of the British Empire

    Not that I have a horse in this race but @Anik, stating facts doesn't make someone "worshiper" of that person. Do you have anything to deny his claims? Because claiming something without evidence is called bias. Also Didn't the British empire claim to give India self governance after WW1 in...
  3. Map Thread XX

    The stuff about etymology of state names etc and discussion it has brought up, is interesting. So, on a related note, I'm thinking of starting a old/New isot project. For example in the first map I probably will do Jersey and New Jersey. If I feel competent enough to continue (mapping is pretty...
  4. AHC: Replace the main cash crop of the CSA / Southern USA

    No single cash crop could take cotton's place in the antebellum south, due to its value as a raw material for all kinds of goods like clothing and furniture. Coffee and tobacco were in high demand but they weren't nearly as useful or sought-after for industrial applications. Other valuable raw...
  5. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    John to Mary, and Francis to Cecily makes sense. Sforza's probably out, Edward did ditch his mom after all.

    Could USSR attack Germany during Battle of France?

    Since the option for France to attack Germany during the battle of Poland was often talked about. Could Stalin tear up Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and just stab Hitler at the back?

  8. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Here's my current list of potential grooms for Mary and Cecily: John Oldenburg, King of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden Francis Phoebus de Foix, King of Navarre Gian Galeazzo Sforza, Duke of Milan Any thoughts, feedback?
  9. British Empire in WW2 using colonial forces across pacific and european theatres in much larger numbers

    1) Not really important, just a general info: The British empire is nowhere near close to the empire with the highest population ever, neither absolutly nor relativly. 2) What allowed European nations to conscript a large part of their populations, afford to arm and sustain them and send them...

    Q: What other areas could have been ''Re-Christianized''

    If you have Spain focus more on Morocco and North Africa (if, for example, they had to destroy a big Moroccan sultanate which was a mortal threat to their existence), then possibly you could have that whole area taken back. If you have the Byzantines survive, Turkey and the Balkans remain...
  11. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    I don’t think the US ever did sort out a reliable fighter aircraft 20mm. Even as late as the F-8 Crusader, the 20mm guns had jamming problems. Also didn’t the UK switch from the HS 20mm to the 30mm ADEN (a continuation of a German design)? ric350
  12. Descendants of the Dragons and Fairies - Volume I: One Inch Missed, One Mile Fixed

    Do I gather you're dead, since you're using your posthumous name in your sig? (I googled it) ;):)
  13. AHC - Best Case Scenario for Poland Post-WW1

    Have the Allies give Poland all of Upper Silesia, (Gdańsk) Pomerania, basically the red line in this map in the West, North and South. Relations with Germany are lost cause anyway and no matter what Germany is going to be enemy...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    "The Three Day Rule" was not confined to Russia, nor was it uniquely a Red Army custom. The Siege of Badajoz is highly instructive. Let me quote... That seems to hold true as a general rule for human beings in general. They, as an army, can go berserk for 72 hours as a mob and nothing can be...
  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Or maybe something like you let the Soviets know the m16s are there, but for now it’s gonna be beanbag guns until you decide to escalate things.
  16. Collectivist western society?

    No, the map is blatantly untrue, due to the fact that it outright ignores the local advancements that did in fact benefit the general population, and instead perpetuating Victorian-era myths that Africa was a continent stuck in the Stone Age, with was further fueled by Scientific Racism and...

    Q: What other areas could have been ''Re-Christianized''

    As far as I recall, the only areas that used to be Christian and converted away which hasn't become a major institutional center of that religion are Nubia and the Balkans. Before conversion to Islam -- through conquest and decimation by neighboring Islamic powers -- Nubia was home to a local...
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Quite the accomplishment, considering the competition included bloody PRAVDA.
  19. Q: What other areas could have been ''Re-Christianized''

    Anatolia with a later Byzantine pod say the 13th century . The northern parts of morroco if say the reconquista ended earlier , the levant with a better byzantine empire in the 11th century or the crusades are somehow successful in the long run . The area of modern day Azerbaijan once...
