  1. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Yet another way to stick a finger in Charles' eye! And also has the benefit of keeping the @#$% bloody Inquisition out of there!

    Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    It's way bigger, nearly double the payload of the C-130.

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Huh, why do you know? Either way he’s an interesting choice for a period drama (and could do a brilliant job).

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Hardly. Looking back less than a decade the first CA movie parroted it with the "the first country the Nazis conquered was Germany" nonsense.

    in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    If tobacco is so terrible then it should be banned, not taxed. Same for Alcohol. Governments love that 'Sin Tax' money, though.
  6. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Great question and I'm not sure why people on this site and elsewhere act like Russia isn't European. They've been a big part of European foreign affairs since at least the middle of the 17th Century. The vast majority of their population lives west of the Urals (so in geographic Europe by...
  7. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    'Allows' is probably 'alloys' there. One can have more money than before if he wastes no money. Wasted time is probably harder to quantify, but it hurts never the less. I've tried to cover the engine situation before. It was wasteful for Fiat and I-F to embark on the the air-cooled engines...

    Have the IA 58 PUCARÁ be more successful in the export market

    Possible but first flight was 1975 (The Bush War) was going on since 1964 and how do you get it past the 'embargo'? Would South Africa offer to pay for an earlier development if they could license produce the aircraft and help the Rhodesian's? Not only that if there were nations that would...
  9. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    That is correct, but they could've done better I suppose. Plus, it might've kept Jake Lloyd's life from turning into a living hell.
  10. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The bombing actually was fairly effective, especially when focused on the Ruhr in 1943, the problem came when Harris tried to win the war by flattening Berlin. In 1944 bombing France produced serious casualties, and yet without it D-Day might not have been possible. Also even a campaign aimed at...

    Photos from Kentucky Fried Politics

    [pic: imgur.com/k66tXtx.png ] – During his first trip to Buckingham Palace, as part of his first Presidential trip to the UK, Colonel Sanders sits on some ornate furniture while waiting to meet with the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II (who was ultimately 15 minutes late) only for a butler to remind him...
  12. Austria-Hungary consulted italy.

    I simply do not read that out of the text you showed. I agree that on a settlement Italy would have to be consulted and recompensed and the temporary part is dubious. But still in a case of war I do not see it in the sense of occupation that would matter as that is in war and not occupation of...
  13. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Oh dear, I forgot a very important step! To put THIS General Grievous (same voice actor too) in Revenge of the Sith, instead of that coughing, cowardly, mustache-twiriling wimp we got in the movie and the 2008 TV series. Not only may at least some people in the audience fear for Obi-Wan's life...
  14. Was Austria-Hungary really doomed?

    There are have been tons of multiethnic states throughout Human history and in the present. The collapse of Austria-Hungary into nation-states is not inevitable.
  15. A Lusophone World

    Wonder how much Hispanic immigration the Southern Cone would siphon away from America? A low skilled labor shortage could force an increase in wages.
  16. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Europe also isn’t really a continent in the geographic since either. The boundary between what is defined as Europe and what is defined as Asia has long been vague and shifts, largely to suit Western European policies (who are themselves most adamant about Europe and Asia as separate entities to...
  17. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    The main problems were slow develpment pace and lack of mass production culture. Take the Macchi C.202. An excelent fighter when it first flew in 1940, but it took one full year to get it to units, by which time it was fighting alongside the Bf-109F-4 rather than the E-4 and it was only in 1942...
  18. The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    The main issue here however is age. As Charles 9th would become king in 1498 when he's only 6 years old, and this is the exact year when Eleanor was born. So it really depends on who can get their daughter to marry Charles first, which is why we came to the conclusion that a surviving Elizabeth...
