    The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    By rights Anne would be regent of france on charles viii's death but if she remarried then she would lose that position (and likely custody of her son) so she needs to pick her battles here very carefully; does she remarry and try for the (admittedly unlikely) possibility of passing Brittany to...
  2. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Not to mention the attempt to convict the Germans for their undersea warfare campaign foundering on the fact that the Americans had done the exact same thing to Japan, and more successfully.
  3. AHC: Make Lyndon LaRouche actually a relevant political figure

    And FWIW... I think his greatest fame, such as it was, was actually in the mid-80s when, thanks to some perfect storm of political circumstances, he managed to get a couple of his followers elected as Democrats to some state-level positions in Illinois. That was also around the time when his...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    In training situation , not facing ideal opponents is actually ideal to get ideas what needs to be worked on for what is needed for the invasion of sicily and italy and later d-day by doing a few island invasions in late 41/42 instead of dieppe is my thought altough who knows how important the...
  5. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    @curlyhairedhippie: father and son share the same name, that is the origin of the confusion. Also Hugh X sometimes is believed be born AFTER Isabella's wedding to John and/or to be son of Mathilde (and the date of the wedding of Mathilde and Hugh IX is also a mystery). But Hugh X was older than...
  6. WI: Root vs Wilson in 1912

    True. However,in the heat of the Civil War, McClellan was nominated to oppose Lincoln at age 38.
  7. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    Depends on how it survives Well. . In that case it might work.... A big maybe, sassanid dynasty ends if chobin takes over, but does he have allies from what I read the phalav faction wasn't ready to support him and the parasig faction was definitely against him, it's very hard to tell, you know...

    Map Thread XX

    No one actually knows where the name came from. Those are the most plausible theories I've heard but there are others.
  9. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    There are actually a decent amount of mountains and valleys in Mongolia where a defense could be conducted, particularly in the west of the country. It's among the least densely populated countries in the world, has barely 3 million people, and most people are pastoralists or agriculturalists...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Oops, my mistake. Looks like I should go reread from the beginning!
  11. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Bingo. And I'm sure pretty much everyone with leadership ambitions in Poland and most persons in government circles in Poland at the time knew that/realized that too. Much as how they knew that once there were Soviet troops in Poland there would be no effective way to make them leave either...
  12. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    Yeah but taking everything at swordpoint is being a bad vassal etc so not very useful in the long run. But who am I kidding it's Richard. Would he try to get independence do you think?

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    GE GG-1 catenary electric passenger engines were capable of 100mph+ service in the 1930s, and stayed in use thru the 1980s
  14. Collectivist western society?

    Do not dismiss him because of a single map. He still has a ton of correct stuff to say. Although I do prefer Monsieur Z. More extroverted and upbeat tone than whatifalthist.
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True and keeping the Turk's out was in everyone's best interest as both sides wanted their chrome. Thankfully Turkey probably doesn't want to get involved (more money as a neutral and their miltary isn't very good at this point) but they'd have to react if an island is flattened or invaded by...
  16. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    I don't have a converter for that. If you can do that to the PDF he uploaded, I'd welcome you uploading it somewhere.

    God Owes Phillip II Twenty Bucks

    thats the thing, Henry was an odd character, it wasn’t till he lost the siege of Paris and therefore any chance of holding France, that he “converted” to Catholicism OTL. And regardless, these are proper religious wars at the time in Europe, faith was more important than national cohesion for...
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True but Rommel had a reputation and lots of worse folks ahead of him in the line for prosecution. Much like Guderian he would have simply ended up on the shelf and then been bought back after '55. Problem is most of what was used at Dieppe was based in an entirely different theatre. Also the...

    Edward IV and Henry Tudor/VII switch personalities

    But if i do a TL about this, should i put in Before 1900 or ASB.
  20. AHC: Make Lyndon LaRouche actually a relevant political figure

    Have him stay an orthodox trotskyite, move to the UK, and join up with the mob of trots over there pursuing an entryist strategy into the Labour Party. Don't think he'd be rivalling Tony Benn for public notoriety, but maybe end up a player on one of the so-called loony left councils in the 80s...
