    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Uh the Chinese were one of the most hardcore backers of the kingdom of Nepal otl. What changed ittl?
  2. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Is Columbia considering more movies? Amblin should license basic cable rights to Turner.
  3. Alternate warships of nations

    Correct And while I do not have the massive downer on the 5.25s that seems all the rage on the interwebs (other than ignoring all the work on the 5.1" that correctly resulted in its cancellation) if they had asked me at the time (and the buggers did not) I would have dictated twin 4" (as...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    But they were not evil. And that is the point of the discussion. For once in WWII, there was a quite clear distinction between "good" and "evil". The allies, and Murphy help us, STALIN, were on the side of the angels.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    So I must have missed the part where Mark Clark was British.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    When you make Nazis sick and moved to save people, you are pretty evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Man_of_Nanking
  7. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    The initial assumption is correct, but that assuming that POD (which is itself at least in 1554, as this is birthdate of John II of England in my tree) doesn't affect Poland at all and Sigismund II of Poland might marry Elizabeth Tudor and have children with her, he might have children with his...
  8. WI: No iPhone

    I don't think so. iMessage wasn't actually introduced until 2011, while WhatsApp came out in 2009. The idea of an internet-based chat service wasn't really new in 2007 (consider IRC and AOL Messenger), so the main barrier would be distribution of an app to the phone, not the idea itself...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Sadly, one of Huey Long's negative characteristics in Kaiserreich is that he is quite nepotistic. Here is the event where there is the option of replacing the Vice President that he has when founding the AUS (who is if I remember correctly, Charles Coughlin) with his brother Earl, and appointing...

    Strange when the British Commonwealth beaches on D day were much more successful than the American!

    AHC: Socrates becomes a god

    Butterfly Christianity (very easy first step), leave Europe to a Hindu-esque anarchy of supreme Gods and lesser Divinities - with the φιλόσοφος as something more like a "priest" or Brahmin than the OTL term "philosopher" implies - and have some zealous Platonists somehow attain a mass appeal by...
  12. Other Portugals: What countries could have remained apart from Spain?

    Branching off this thread: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-castilian-portuguese-union-instead-of-castilian-aragonese-union.506776/ What other parts of Iberia could have stayed apart from "Spain"? Is Spain inevitable, and would Castile be the integral kingdom towards forming...
  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    This really is turning into a Allies-Are-Evil thread.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Let us look at who signed the Geneva Conventions of 1929? Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 27 July 1929. No Japan? But wait... Whoops. It looks like under International Law, that Homma and Yamashita are culpable for the mistreatment of prisoners of war their...
  15. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    A very good video. Unfortunately, they've gotten the oil part wrong, or rather incomplete.

    ...happening that they didn't take their Day 1 objective of CAEN.)) Basically, if there was an original timeline British amphibious operation* in WW2 against a contested coast, as far as I can make out, the British messed it up. (Contrast with DRAGOON, which seems to have been a runaway...

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    That's true of course. As long as Barthou lived and remained in good health. He might well live and be able to work into his 80s, Themistocles Sofoulis in Greece was running around in airplanes to visit towns attacked by the communists at age 88 in Greece, not to mention Petain. Or c\he could...
  18. No Scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet (HSF)

    No clauses about the division. Merely that it would be surrendered. Everyone wanted them though. The Italians and French would have loved any battleships they could get their hands. Even if only as an object of study. That said quiet a few of the German ships were better than what the Italians...
  19. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Posen would be a hella lot bigger because of all the trade going through it and probably would be a major immigration center. I imagine Konigsberg would be bigger than in OTL 1939 when it had 372k, maybe reaching 450k in TTL 1939 and 1M by 2020? I think 700k is more doable. Vienna would be way...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Dry, Black Powder will not degrade with time, unlike most higher energy compounds. Some get more sensitive, other less But BP is very hygroscopic, and damp BP is hard to set off. Once dry, just as dangerous as the day it was made
