  1. Furor Veneticus: A Slavic East Germany

    No, if Hungarians stayed in Ukraine, they'd not become as prominent as IOTL (unless they managed to defeat Varyags and establish overlordship over Eastern Slavs as they did IOTL).

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    While the Crusades are an interesting exercise in economic imperialism (Spice routes), I do not see the relevance here. Bombing of cities was a MORAL PROBLEM, well recognized and agonized about by the Allies during the fighting of WWII. Specifically there were two camps, the British and the...
  3. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    I think Poland-Lithuania could become Sarmatia after the national mythology of the Commonwealth and as a way to unify the diverse ethnicities and religion. Hell, even the Jews in Poland-Lithuania could be a part of Sarmatia via some theory involving the Khazars and their Sarmatian links...
  4. List of US Presidents, 1960 to 2020

    Ah damn, I was confusing this with Alternate Presidents and PMs. Kind of Chat-ish, too. Sorry.
  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True but also still very risky for limited gains that can be achieved by keeping Wellington's bombing the place. By the time the equipment for landing without a port is ready Italy will be on the brink of surrender anyway, at which point the Italian commanders invite the British in unopposed to...
  6. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Somehow Morocco has to hold at least Granada, preferably a bit more of Al Andalus.
  7. The Spirit of Salamis- A Short Allied Victory in Crete TL

    Would make for entertaining viewing.
  8. Andrew Boyd: Duke of Dank

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

    @Johnrankins I definitely agree that at this point, Chicago - Milwaukee is the only sensible place to try HSR in the Midwest. But I actually do believe there'd be room for expansion if urban reneweal were to fix the likes to Detroit and St. Louis. Whereas Indianapolis at the very least could...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Those were some of the reasons for war with the USSR, however it doesn't include the longstanding geopolitical rivalry with Russia/USSR that was a cause of the First World War Well that gets into the difference between British and colonials, which were distinct populations. Not everybody wants...
  10. Alternate Migrations general discussion

    What about the Evenk or Yeniseians or Siberians migrated into Central Asia in around 3rd to 4th Century that pulled a Huns and rampage the declining Roman Empire? Would it be possible for my idea to be put up?
  11. WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    Does it have anything as big as Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt? If it doesn't then it probably won't revive the market. IIRC it was considered the best in 1986 because some believed the NES was a flash in the pan (the NES lineup in '86 was mostly weak) and Atari would restore their dominance.

    Uhhh wrong thread

    The Spirit of Salamis- A Short Allied Victory in Crete TL

    Part of it will be the press, as them being the two most publicised American (except for Ike but he command everybody so it doesn't count for those kind of things) and British generals in Europe they will naturally end up often being compared with each other and the rest will be Patton being...
  14. Age of migration though experiment

    TTL's Austria would be called Rugiland or Rugia unless it became an "Eastern March". But why wouldn't the East Germanic tribes not take the easier land in the North German Plain instead of the harder mountainous areas? Against who? Egypt might have decent luck against the Nubians (assuming they...
  15. Flag Thread V

    I'm trying to make a flag for a Helevtic League which does not involve the Cameroon colours or the white cross? Any suggestions?
  16. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Or, funnily enough Eric XIV (he had wanted to marry her) or Sigismund II Augustus of Poland? Both are unlikely to challenge Philip and suitable enough to marry Elizabeth
  17. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    I doubt Mary would actually execute her sister. Feelings aside, killing her would cause more problems than it solves. I could see Philip arranging a marriage between Elizabeth and some trustworthy Spanish nobleman. Or they could always shove her in a convent.
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    If they hold Crete they can provide air cover to any landing.
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Indeed, there was opposition to it as well. Depending on your definition of "elites" since many would-be adventurers who were commoners could have attained status in the Raj, or Africa, or the White Dominions, and would thus have perpetuated in the creation/maintenance of the British Empire. Yeah.
  20. Implications of having the RAF involved in Libya air strike in 1986?

    Agreed about the ALARM, but assuming this is a joint strike between the US and UK, why not just stick with the USN Intruders and Corsairs armed with Shrikes for the SEAD mission (as in OTL) and let the ‘Varks and Tornados focus on low level strike? Of course this all ignores the reasoning behind...
