  1. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    You’re definitely right that the Sassanids were on decline since the rise of the Hephtalites. But this is not a “get the Sassanids into their greatest golden age” AHC, it’s more of a “get them to survive”, which I think is doable until a lot later. Especially if you have the Sassanids collapse...

    WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    7800 was before Tramiel and Jack's name was worthless after Commodore.

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Television on the Russian empire (Vyatka) would be focused on the high culture, with boring long transmissions of orchestra concerts, opera singers and soap operas about the empire. Things like this: Otl the Cykablyat Onion was addicted to Brazilian soap operas (novelas), assuming this...

    Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    I also agree with you on this, it was not a lasting and effective program and for a variety of reasons was rolled back by Stalin in favor of emphasizing nationalism and Great Russian Chauvinism. But this is AH.com and it was not necessarily a foregone conclusion that this would happen. It all...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    True they need to be designed for it, and like Kerosene engine, would have issues in starting in cold weather. Alcohol doesn't vaporize well at under 40 degrees F, but needs far larger carburetor jets and higher compression pistons to make the same power on alcohol as gasoline...
  6. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    The by-elections in Doncaster, Heywood, and Merthyr Tydfil caused by the murder of Thomas Connolly, Joseph Burgess and David Ellis respectively by the UV during their attacks on Commonwealth Constituency Party offices on 15 March, took place on 19 April 1884. They were won easlly by...
  7. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    The assumption also implies that the Labour Party in Britain and Commonwealth countries the SPD and arguably the Past WW1 French socialist parties are not socialist. Thats a definitional thing but it arises from the split in the first and second international so the working assumption is that...
  8. Nguyen Chi Thanh doesn't die in 1967

    What if Nguyen Chi Thanh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_Ch%C3%AD_Thanh hadn't died (under disputed circumstances) in 1967? He was 53 at the time of his death, relatively young for a Politburo member--eight years younger than Pham Van Dong, seven years younger than Le Duan or Truong...

    WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    Atari did have a lock for the new 7800 cartridges. It still was a mistake, the 7800 should have been what the later XEGS was, a real 6502 Atari 400/800 8 bit in a Console case, in 1982 or 1983, not 1987 when the 8 bit was at the end.
  10. Claudius dies with Caligula: What happens next?

    I'd say a civil war is all but inevitable with no clear adult male heir, so pre Roman Britain survives at least another generation.
  11. Implications of having the RAF involved in Libya air strike in 1986?

    The first Tornado refuelling trial was in 1975. The RAF were flying Tornado across the Atlantic to exercises and trials in North America in the early 1980s. There was talk of using Tornado in the Black Buck role in 1982 but the mechanical limitations were on gearbox and engine oil, not on...
  12. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    I'd point out that Denmark started widescale investments in wind power from the 1980s, seeing decent levels by the 1990s. Yes, Denmark is small (circa 5 million people), but it proves the technology was ready from early. Nuclear power, hydro power, wind power can all easily play a part...
  13. Never Stay More Than Three Years: Another Dr Who TL

    2008-2011: David Suchet The fifteenth Doctor is by far the most carefree. Cutting links with Gallifrey and Earth he becomes a seeker of new experiences. Travelling to the outer edges of the Universe the Doctor delights in finding whole new lifeforms but finds new horrors as well. He encounters...
  14. Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    Wonderful updates as always. I want to see what the american labor movement has to offer in these trying times. Somehow i feel the UK is at risk of falling to the reds.
  15. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Couldn't we convert it to EPUB in its PDF form?
  16. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    Which were about as long and effective as US Reconstruction after the ACW. By the late 1930's at the latest things were pretty much back where they started except Moscow allowing the natives their only language and folk dances and stuff.
  17. Vichy France, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Thailand gets the same reputation as Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan

    Thailand had been kicked around by Britain and France for a few decades and now had Japan at its doorstep threatening to do the same, and since Japan was doing well and was allied with the Germans who were doing an incredible job against Britain and France, the choice seemed fairly obvious...
  18. DBWI Alexander III of Macedon victorious at Gaugamela

    If you want Alexander to conquer Persia, then you have to find a way to kill Darius. Compared to Kings who have been instantly toppled after losing a single battle, the devotion of the Persian Army to their King is baffling, and his refusal to surrender to Alexander most likely made him a...
  19. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    FWIW I don't think it's gonna be done out of malice, but expect a lot of well meaning but harmful White socialist man's burden type policies.
