    WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    He is already married, I think Alfonso IX of Leon is possible as his marriage with Berengaria was being threatened of Annulment or Berengaria's brother, Sancho of Navarre to compensate an annulment with Berengaria.
  2. Discovery of America 1350 with POD "No Black Death"

    There’s no reason to assume any of that. First of all, the conquests of the Caribbean and of Mexico, which led to a massive decline in the indigenous population, both happened before African slavery was common in the Americas, so I don’t see how a slavery POD would affect that. Secondly we do...

    The truth about the white man.

    What do you mean? Jesus is Jewish? 🧐
  4. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Would many know that? As you pointed out the fire bombings had already been going on, no surrender. The Soviets might be be chewing through Japanese occupied territory on the mainland, but had no way to invade the home islands. In theory some joint operation could have been launched with US sea...
  5. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Much of the HSR discussion on this thread has mooted the possibility of HSR connecting the large cities which already have some urban transit system. SanFran, LA, Chicago, Twin Cities, DC, Newark, New York, Boston, etc etc. Here, there is some kind of light rail to provide access to arriving...

    Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    A timeline based on this would be great to read, and especially if Axis still lost. What happens to France after a possible loss?
  7. The 30 mm HE shell. The ideal weapon for use by WW2 Allied fighter planes?

    Every gram of weight is important these days to the fighter aircraft, it was no less important during ww2. Most people have an opinion as to best aircraft gun of the war and the opposition expected can change what you do. The RAF issued requirements for an 8 gun fighter back in 1934...
  8. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Re: Guns on the Moon. Read a short story in either Astounding or Galaxy (I think) about a gov agent asking why the allies and soviets got on so well since on Earth things were tense. Before the base commander could answer an alarm went off and both the agent and commander went into the hall...
  9. The truth about the white man.

    I fully agree. It's always fascinating and can actually be inspiring for writing projects.
  10. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    These are the usual titles for the Stewarts, if James’ brothers died as OTL. Albany is still occupied at the moment
  11. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    The Worm Cult is definitely a faith that rewards the psychopathic, seeing as it basically says all those horrible or selfish thoughts in your head are actually good and you should definitely try to be remembered by history through your ability to do harm
  12. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    I suppose worshipping a faceless serpentine death god will do that to you.
  13. "What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

    Okay I know the premise of this TL is to show the worst of humanity, but that just f*ck up if you feel thrilled about killing millions.
  14. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    Baldwin of Hainaut son of Baldwin V of Hainaut and Margaret of Flanders might be a good option for Eleanor

    The truth about the white man.

    Ah, but Jews are the true Aryans, you see... because Jesus!
  16. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    I feel the flanking option for Russia is overstated. Up to and including WWI in the east, armies tended to operate on a single axis without too many problems. The Germans even did it during their sickle cut through the Ardennes in 1940 without problems (although it certainly scared them). In...
  17. The truth about the white man.

    I honestly kind of enjoy reading about weird and unpredictable racial theories. “White people are fake Aryans and the true Aryan herrenvolk are the Chinese who are also Indian” is a take I did not expect to see.
  18. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    That's a very long distance over open water... big chance of being spoted. And it would expand the war. So far, there was a (very very very thin) political justification of "retaking our land from evil colonialist".
  19. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I should have made it clear that it was posted before that Anne was told by Leni that her diary would be a best seller and Leni offered to help edit them , Anne refused because they were her personal thoughts and feelings and they were not to be shared with the public. I was trying to point out...
  20. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    I guess another factor is that passenger railroads were largely funded by land speculation (buy cheap farmland, build a rail line to connect it to the city, then either sell the land for a huge profit to developers or build houses on it yourself for sale or rent). Another problem for passenger...
