    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Nazis were evil because they did evil things. They did evil things because a little man with a little book and a big voice got some people around him and worked wonders. Fascists are their older, slightly-inbred Latin cousins. Fascists generally didn't get up to the sort of shenanigans the Nazis...
  2. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)
    Threadmarks: Chapter 69: March and early April, 1972

    A little late on the updates today, but I should get them in. MUSKIE ROLLS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARY; MCGOVERN A DISTANT SECOND Washington Post, March 8, 1972 Maine senator Edmund Muskie, the vice presidential nominee for the Democrats in 1968, established himself as the clear frontrunner with...

  4. NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    Both quote below is much smaller than what I intended. Sorry. How do you INCREASE from 1/10 to 1/20? I think there's a typo/continuity error.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    More likely they’d claim, and more or less be telling the truth, that they were collecting unpaid wages.
  6. AHC: Make Lyndon LaRouche actually a relevant political figure

    La Rouche is a balancing act between non-orthodox pathetic cultural analyses of capital and gross cultural conspiracy mongering. Historically La Rouche flopped one way. Flop another and he’s got his choice of James P Cannon or Tony Cliff. Given his conspiracy angle that’s Cannon. Cannon...
  7. Alternate warships of nations

    Is this another example where a USN failure is passed off as a RN one? Just checking like Lets face it Savo went tits up for 4 reasons (not forgetting that the IJN were brilliant that night and man for man and ship for ship the better force) Relatively Green USN crews and officers - and was...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Or simply getting blown to flinders, which happens occasionally to this day.
  9. WI - a different electoral system for the Netherlands

    Probably. A lot of the rules and culture of Dutch politics is based in the "pillarisation" of the Dutch society, which stood at the basis of the "great compromise" that led to the current political system. While the effects of the pillarisation have lessend over time it is still there.
  10. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Homma was pretty much railroaded, although the charge of failing to retain control of his men might have had sufficient strength. Yamashita was flat out murdered. The entire Battle of Manila came about after a IJN officer refused to follow orders, which were to do exactly what the Americans...
  11. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    So to be clear, I don't think all of the possible American socialisms out there would have a tendency towards authoritarianism, but that the ones on the impossibilist side of the spectrum are definitely tilted that way. A few definitions are probably in order. First, impossibilism...

    Little Rock Nine Massacre

    Taking pointers from the Snyder Cut, are we? If anybody does a poll for the worst TL's on AH.com, this one definitely gets my vote.
  13. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    of course satellite "garden' cities could develop, but yes all other major cities combine a good spot for trade, and just added capital to that, Berlin in comparison is mainly the just the capital. plus the past with all the different states of the HRE also made sure that development didn't all...

    Alternate Electoral Maps III

    Decided to make an electoral map of this. Not as impressive looking but does put a more partisan look of the US at this time. I've been trying to figure out what the popular vote and percentages could be, effectively both sides have forgone reconciliation for the most part with the...
  15. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    One human soul please. Afterall you don't have to worry about a sin tainting your soul if you no longer have a soul in the first place. Don't worry I'll keep it safe and sound and in no way make a deal with Satan to trade it in return for eternal youth. No way at all that will happen.
  16. Ottomans defeat Nader Shah

    The Safavids can't get there if the Ottomans are in the middle in Tabriz. I take your point though about limitations on Russia's interests and capabilities in the region.
  17. WI: No iPhone

    No, that's true. But the features that we take for granted - like real-time traffic data - didn't come about until like 2010 or maybe a few years earlier. So while it will be there, it won't be baked into the phone's infrastructure.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    What makes you think that bloodiness is a quality only shared by totalitarian empires? Second, winners write the history books, and in them they are always the Goody Two Shows good guys; you won't hear the winning side jabbering about how it's in fact slightly closer to the enemy than they...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I mean I suppose the average crusader involved in the conquest of Constantinople could argue they were protecting property stolen from the cities residents from possible Ottoman aggression. After all if crusader didn't steal the loot first then there's a chance that at some point in the future a...
  20. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Before the "George Lucas raped our childhoods" idiots crowbarred their way in and the 3D rerelease, the RT scores for all three prequels were over 70, as the Wayback Machine shows. They only changed after the rerelease. And if you took only the contemporaneous reviews of the original trilogy and...
