  1. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Few points on this: The biggest issue for me is the idea of Mary of Burgundy settling for the Dauphin Charles - there is a 13 year age gap and to be honest Louis XI screwed negotiations after Charles' death and she opted for Maximilian. Elizabeth marrying Maximilian (without his earlier...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I think it's getting lost that I know what the Crusades was about and that it was accomplished by killing noncombatants. ;)
  3. NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    What is the state named AU?

    'Liberty and Happiness': The British Republic

    Probably this in TTL: When this can be OTL flag of Slovakia? Why can't the above be Hungary's?

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    They thought the fate mortal flesh of far lesser value than eternal damnation.
  6. The Plantagenet Succession
    Threadmarks: The Power of the Plantagenets - by Alison Weir.

    An excerpt from The Power of the Plantagenets - Published June 6, 1999, by Alison Weir. The Second Cornish Rebellion would, near enough, mark the end of the House of Lancaster - and the reason and blame lies solely with the Nevilles. More than a little annoyed with the long deceased Elizabeth...
  7. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    And in that sense a reroll is good. Look, as a human being, I hope for boring prosperity. But for AH purposes, we need Bush to have tension, if not foreign policy, then maybe economic downturn or political scandal. And really, for a good story maybe three different obstacles he needs to...
  8. Age of migration though experiment

    Are we talking 300 BC or 300 AD datewise? Theres a big difference and I can't quite figure out which one....

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    You mean by stopping the life functions of humans that were not an offensive capacity?
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Based on? Like he offered OTL? How so? If anything, the Soviet-Axis negotiations moved the two nations closer to War, not nearer to an alliance.

    Save immortal souls. Even if they didn't want to be saved.
  12. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    There was a handful of Su-2 produced with M-82. Please look here (table translated from Shavrov's 'bible' on Soviet aircraft) and here (Russian-language Wikipedia, detailing the series sample of Su-2 powered by M-82). The Su-4 was a spin-off with better armor that was supposed to be powered by...
  13. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    Erm... sending telegraphs? And 'mail-bags' were common cargo - both Hindenberg and Titanic had a load [in fact, it's still common cargo on passenger planes. It's why air-freight costs ballooned during the pandemic; they had to hire special planes due to the lack of travel]. If we can find a...

    A South American World War 1 Craze

    Peru-Bolivia will lost this war, hard, Chile was good enough to steam roll boths countries alone again, this is when the country was rich thanks to the salpeter and a lot of that money was spend on the Army/navy, heck we were experimenting with war aviation during this period, if we won the...
  15. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Lack of control over industry led to some wrong choices. In 1938 the RA was certain that the best of the new fighters was the Macchi C.200, but FIAT being FIAT they built their own designs, the inferior G.50 and the anachronic CR.42. Just to make things more complicated, Italy also built the...
  16. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    OTL it seemed it was seriously contemplated by at least some in the British establishment, provided the German expansion was ‘channeled’ in the ‘correct’ direction, i.e. towards the East and Russia. It would seem the aftermath of WWI had changed that viewpoint somewhat, but more than enough...
  17. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    George Lucas himself confirmed that he modeled the rebels after the Vietcong. Star Wars was always a political film series, just because now it has more women and black people in leading roles doesn't change anything.
  18. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    Or how about ussr setting up a formidible Mongolian Air Force that can essentially cripple PLAAF in a war or at very least help defend Far Eastern ussr against Chinese bombers
  19. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Stalin has got what he can get from Finland - he just needs to garrison it. Along with the Baltic states he's acquired. And start building the Molotov line to guard against German duplicity. Bessarabia was gained from Romania - I'm not aware the Soviets had claims on Bulgaria. Those demands...
