  1. JCC the Alt Historian

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

    @tezeta , where does @kirbopher15 specifically mention that he's on the spectrum? I'm on the spectrum as well (Asperger's specifically), but you don't hear me constantly asking other users for infoboxes about John Belushi this and Dan Aykroyd that and such.
  2. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    As mentioned some pages ago in the thread, part of the first chapters need extensive reediting to be consistent with some changes we decided later (a remarkable example being the role played by Garibaldi, who is still traveling by sea and will hardly get a chance to fight in Dalmatia as...
  3. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Kinda hard, IIRC the first Jacobin Italian Republic was the Republic of Cispadania, a name which is too specific to be maintained if said republic unites the peninsula. I believe to have Italy as Romagna you should have a very earlier POD, with a more successful Exharchate of Ravenna and maybe...
  4. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    I love the fact that you focused on big systematic factors. :love: And not flashy personality factors, such as “decline in Protestant work ethic.” And we humans so gravitate to the flashy, like all the time, even though they usually get swamped by the big systemic. PS Catholic persons work...

    Der Kampf: The Rise and Fall of the Austrian Führer

    A question: Rommel will be making more appearances in the story? Also, seems that TTL, Yugoslavia would become in the Hitler's 'bête noir'...
  6. TL-191: After the End

    The US government fully relocates back to Washington, DC after the end of the SGW, even as the city undergoes extensive reconstruction. This is both to symbolize the reunion of the country, and due to the devastation of Philadelphia at the end of the conflict. - In 2021, the US no longer views...

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Well, Romania could be Dacia. Romania is itself a fabrication in that it harks back to Roman occupation of the principalities. A national movement looking instead to an independent origin could have chosen to progress Dacia. The UK could be Britannia, or near offer, if the dreams of James VI/I...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    To anyone who has listened to Thomas Childers Great History course on WW2 (if you haven’t I highly recommend it) when he talks about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki I think he makes a great point that is relevant to this topic. Instead of debating the pros and cons he says that at...
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    ...types) that would claim even individual self defense is murder and thus the country sized comparison is unacceptable because 'non-combatants' *eye-roll* of the enemy country during a total war end up dead. If you want to figure out if a war or its tactics are justified or not then apply it...
  10. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Some fuel weights at OTL Italian fighters (the rangier ones) in kg; divide by, roughly, 0.75 for liters : Re.2001: 400 MC.202: 312 Re.2005 and G.55: 430 F.6: 480 MC.205N: 365 P.119: 700 (!) So indeed the P.119 seems like a winner here, if it can be had earlier of course.
  11. Could a Communist Romania lead to a Trotskyist Russia?

    Should I lock a thread or just leave it be if a topic hits a dead end when determined to be implausible?

  14. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Ah, no I'm afraid it don't work that way :) A vacuum is still a vacuum and the Gemini suits, even with pure O2 and reduced pressure weren't as 'flexible' as more modern suits. (Worse they had no cooling system and overheated at the drop of a hat :) ) The entire reason you want "some" pressure...
  15. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons

    Wow. I did not expect Thomas Sweeney to end like that. That was amazing. I guess Raleigh is the way to go. Nice to see the NCR flexing diplomatic muscles, I wonder how far it will go.
  16. TL-191: After the End

    It’s possible, in each of the great powers, to receive medical exemptions from national service, depending on the case in question. - In the USA, by 2021, one major difference from OTL is that no equivalent of our world’s Community Mental Health Act was passed, meaning that there has not been a...
  17. Could a Communist Romania lead to a Trotskyist Russia?

    That Trotsky was defined primarily by 'World Revolution' and that Stalin was defined by 'Socialism In One Country' is a vast oversimplification. Just getting Communists installed elsewhere (especially in Romania which isn't that far removed from Russia in material condition) isn't going to...
  18. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Romania that Germany and Russia had already divided between them into spheres of influence? Romania that the Soviets moved into first? I’m not sure what your sources are, but maybe you should double check them. When Britain looked weak, Stalin was less likely to agree, not more. Stalin was...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    It's already pretty liberal even before the Blossoming. Women are starting to openly flaunt the hijab (albeit rich women), while there is already a history of women in the naturalist fields already (like Lubna of Cordoba) over the centuries (and even in the modern day). Not to mention that women...
