  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    In other words, you are using big words and complicated math to illustrate what others consider common sense (i.e. that some people blow off difficult choices). Note, I am not trying to mock you at all, just trying to restate your statement as I understood it.
  2. WI: Richard II Has a Henry VIII Type Succession Scenario

    I don't think Richard would allow his daughters to end up marrying an Englishman, period. But I do think Richard would repeatedly make and break the eldest daughter's betrothal between Mortimer and Monmouth to keep their families in line, much as he played with the succession in OTL. Though...
  3. Lusitania

    A Lusophone World
    Threadmarks: 1960 - World - Chile

    1960 – 1969 World (cont.) Chile Chilean and Portuguese relations had always be cordial and the two countries had slowly expanded their trading after WW2 as the Portuguese built up their manufacturing while purchasing Chilean agricultural goods especially fruits and vegetables grown during the...
  4. JCC the Alt Historian

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

    You know ryloren!!, maybe I'll go have a talk with @kirbopher15 on his message board and see what's up.

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

    Rome or Romania for a united italy.
  7. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    In general, I am anti-alcohol. 3 of my 4 grandparents were alcoholic, so damn straight, I have those genes. When I go out, I will have either zero drinks or one drink. And I can tell you from personal experience that zero drinks is usually respected more. Still, I’d rather put more of the...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I think the problem with the characters is that they’re trying to dea with so many characters and it feels sort of crowded and limited in a way. The same thing happened with last few seasons of Orange is the New Black.
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    All of those people constantly brought up the moral values of the war.

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

    Japan could also perhaps be referred to as Yamato or perhaps Wa could remain in use. Edit: Also Bharat being in widespread use for India. Similarly India for Pakistan (since it is the one that includes the Indus River). 1. While Kingdom of Bohemia did include all of Czechia the fact that...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    One must keep in mind the bait and run tactics to draw the British tanks onto 88mm guns will still work against Valiant tanks.
  12. The Plantagenet Succession
    Threadmarks: Plantagenet - Series I Cast (2018) - III

    The next set of Casting Pictures for the first series of the eagerly awaited Plantagenet - an adaption of Philippa Gregory's Novels: The French Queen and The English Duchesses - have just been released. Starz have confirmed that part three of the English court will come in releases over the next...
  13. WI: Britain Keeps Michigan and Wisconsin Territory If America Still Goes Independent?

    It depends on if this alt-Treaty of Paris butterflies something like the Jay Treaty of 1794, which conferred most favored nation status and allowed local Natives, American, and Canadian citizens to freely pass between the two countries for commercial purposes. Obviously economic realpolitik...
  14. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    I haven’t ever really considered an August 6th POD viable. Skikida (Phillipeville) to Cadiz is about 700 miles and Skikida to Messina is about 450 miles. Also, Souchon had his ships initially feint west before turning east again on the 3rd so there must have been some margin for error...
  15. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    And your $2 billion space telescope is not exactly what you want to be proving out the concept on, either.
  16. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    The major problem with the 'pressure seal' was you essentially have to open up the whole end of the LH2 tank and then swing it back in place and HOLD it there. Then inflate the 'seal' and hope it holds leakage down to a workable amount. There were some workable concepts I'd seen but how well...

    AHC: Save a notorious flop

    I love the movie as a monster film but it fails as a Godzilla film. I feel like at least half the criticism and hate would’ve gone away if it acted more like Godzilla. Hell, most fans would admit that the tv series was worthy of the name. If they just did that I think it would’ve done a fair bit...

    How come Kucinich tanked after winning Iowa? Opposition from the DNC?

  20. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    I could see an alliance with a more generic right-wing revanchists Germany but not with an OTL Nazi one. The Nazi regime was just too unstable, irrational and violent to ally with.
