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

    Nonsense. Federal funding for this network would be utterly fair, since it serves the parts of the nation that PRODUCE the most money. The states that would whine the most about it are the ones that TAKE the most.
  2. Foreign policy changes after a Bush win in ‘92

    In 1994, the Rwanda President’s plane was shot down by a missile. And as a result, the Hutu majority murdered approximately 800,000 Tutsi minority persons. Yes, 4/5’s of a million persons. Here’s going to be the tension: We in the U.S. had taken a hit in Somalia with the Blackhawk Down...

    Map Thread XX

    A map of the French Empire around in the year 1812 prior to the Battle of Leipzig. I purposely excluded Spain from the map as it was disputed and what the French occupied was under tenuous control. I plan on making another map series on Napoleonic France based on particular alternate events...
  4. Map Thread XX

    uhm, I also did this...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Not the killing of noncombatants? I would LOVE to have seen the reaction of my junior year Western Civ teacher to that statement. Or maybe not, he was decent enough guy, hard grader but fair, and watching him stroke out would have been unpleasant. Of course he might have had an ax to grind...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I wouldn't go that far, they're just going to be monitored and policed more heavily. The ones that took up arms however, it's probably going to get messy.
  7. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Stalin would want to immediately settle outstanding territorial disputes with Germany if the BEF disappears. The Soviet Axis talks would start much sooner and Stalin would probably give up his demands on Bulgaria in exchange for guarantees on access to the Bosporus. Iran and Iraq are easy...
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Neither was the object to kill christian civilians. Nevertheless it happened, and not exactly accidentally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Constantinople
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Wikipedia says it was unlikely Rommel authorised or even knew of the events. Possibly. It was nevertheless a tough battle, the British fighting like cornered stoats or some such. Probably. He does seem to have been, to some degree, wilfully ignorant of the Wehrmacht's faults. That's likely I...
  10. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    Even a "Doomsday" solution with Britain immediately pulling out of NI still doesn't lead to unification. The Ulster unionists/loyalist paramilitaries, Royal Ulster Constabulary, Ulster Regiment, and the former NI Territorial units are combined probably massively stronger then both the various...
  11. A French New Zealand

    Britain annexed New Zealand to prevent the French taking it over.
  12. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    That version is good only if you like max explosions, no characterization and no plot. That version of the Clone Wars is totally lame. This version of Grievous might be tougher but far more boring.
  13. List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    So, with Anne of Brittany marrying Richard III, I had Charles VIII marry Mary of Burgundy. They had two daughters, the eldest of which is Margaret de Valois, Duchess of Burgundy. At Charles VIII's death, Mary books it out of France, not wanting her daughter to marry Louis. My thoughts were...
  14. A Mini by any other name?

    Even with 10 inch wheels? In my very limited experience these kinds of tiny wheels make a huge difference to the ride esp. on slightly subpar road surfaces. The beetle had ‘normal’ size wheels and was fine even on African roads.
  15. AHC - Best Case Scenario for Poland Post-WW1

    Your challenge is to create the best case scenario for Poland post World War One, without straying into ASB. General good pointers would be infrastructure, economy, homogeneity (obviously some minorities are expected but if this Poland is majority Ukrainian or German... less than preferred)...
  16. Little Rock Nine Massacre

    ...and gasps interrupt his first few words, so he repeats' As I was saying, an act as human as that demonstrates the main message for the south: N****** aren't welcome here, I implore everyone in Alabama and as many states who have this problems as well, grab whatever weapons you have, and...
  17. WI: No iPhone

    Probably not. The first all-touch-screen phone, the LG Prada, was announced before the iPhone (about a month earlier). It didn't really go anywhere, but it shows that the most obvious UI change of the iPhone was "in the air". If the iPhone hadn't existed, someone else would have figured it out...
  18. The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    I wonder how Spain keeping Portugal with impact Brazil itself.
  19. Boris Yeltsin Captured during the 1991 Soviet coup attempt

    Would there be another leader for the opposition to rally around ?
