  1. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    The dive bombing monstrosity would be the S.M.85.

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    Well, there's still going to be railroads built to Oregon and Washington, but with a much larger Pacific Coast, there's a lot more development in the southwest. Don't worry, though, while Washington isn't as large as it is IOTL, it's still going to be large.

    Could a Communist Romania lead to a Trotskyist Russia?

    There wasn’t really a point IOTL where the Red Army could have been able to assist the soviets in Hungary. The only connection between Petrograd and Budapest IIRC was a shaky radio connection and the Red Army was very tied up fighting the Volunteer Army, the Provisional All-Russian Government in...
  4. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Interesting suggestions, but I'm going to keep the Ceti Alpha situation the same as IRL because I don't think there's a reason for Khan to be bothered if he's in control on his planet. Terrell will recognize Khan instead of Chekov, because in TMP I'm going to have some backstory involving...
  5. Sports What Ifs.

    That is just blatantly false
  6. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    More often "my family is starving while I'm sitting here unable to help them". That happened a lot in WW I. Cost the Russian Royal Family their lives. The other hope/expectation was very much a result of WW I. Russia fell out of the War because of internal social upheaval. Germany was on the...
  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    I suspect you're caricaturing Zhdanov a bit too hard here. They'd likely invest a lot in television infrastructure, true, but they'd also probably try all sorts of experimental, weird, or marginally viable things with it. I see a lot of experimentation with tele-education (since that fits...
  8. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    And build lots of IMAN Ro.63 STOL Aircraft and use them exactly like the Germans used their Storks

    Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    This probably doesn't count as an image from an alternate world but I always wanted to envision what would be the dresswear for the native Mexican nobility whose titles and lands were recognized by the Spanish following the establishment of New Spain. Could be very well be a microscopic peak...
  10. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Yep! In OTL, women were beginning to be more assertive and visible in Al-Andalus toward the end of its existence. It's about time we saw such women in this timeline.
  11. The Plantagenet Succession

    Good Luck.
  12. The Plantagenet Succession

    The death of Henry Tudor, Duke of Richmond, and his mother, Margaret Beaufort, Dowager Countess of Richmond and Baroness Stanley, would lead to the House of Lancaster residing in a small child - Margaret of Richmond - who, thanks to the entail terms of the Dukedom, inherited the title from her...
  13. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    There was a government reshuffle in May 1948. Arthur Greenwood, the Lord PrIvy Seal and Leader of the House of Commons resigned. He was replaced by George Buchanan who was moved from Home Secretary. Other changes were Chuter Ede from Minister of Education to Home Secretary and Aneurin...

    WI: Queen Elizabeth II was gay

    "So what" if she is.
  15. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Have CANT make S.M79 rather than Alciones, and keep them building the excellent Z.506. Stop building the B.R.20 around 1937infavour of... You guessed it, more S.M.79. Build enough Piaggio P.108B to matter. Basically, the simplified line up would be: Recce - FIAT C.R.25 Medium Bomber/Torpedo...

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

    And from there come the very original names of the Spanish Free-to-air channels: La 1 (The One) La 2 (The Two) Antena 3 (Antenna Three. Weirdly, at its original first launch tried to call itself Canal 10-Channel Ten. Probably that is why that failed.) Cuatro (Four) Telecinco (Telefive) La...
  17. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    The Sasanian view of their own history was rather spotty, and they claimed descent from the mythical Kayanian dynasty. They also ascribed the ruins of Persepolis to them. In some of the descriptions of the Kayanian kings you can recognise things from Achaemenid rulers, but for the rest it seems...
  18. Realistic Outcome of a Henry Wallace Presidency?

    I specifically mentioned listening to his advisors, re the bomb. Two the US DID start the Cold War, Stalin was prepared to accept the Yalta agreements and liked and trusted Roosevelt, it was Truman who reinterpreted those agreements and tried to bully the Soviets into changing course. The...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    "War means fighting, and fighting means killing."
  20. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I'll just go back to Sophomore Year. First day of class Rape. Loot. Burn. Kill. That WAS the way of War during the Crusades Part and parcel of the entire enterprise. The Crusades were all about power and money. Control of the Holy Land meant control of Local Trade Routes. It meant taxes from...
