  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Got an R&R this weekend that may eat my attention
  2. Claudius if Germanicus becomes Emperor?

    Claudius would certainly be very useful to his brother. As others already said, he wasn't someone who could mount a coup because of his condition. And that is very useful when paired with someone as capable and intelligent as Claudius was. A perfect combination for a number two really. So I...
  3. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    Churchill - a fervent anti-Communist in his time - famously said "If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons" when it came to defending British aid to Soviet Russia. But what if the situation were reversed? Many in the British...

    Alternate Migrations general discussion

    How plausible is this idea: Proto-Samoyedic clans migrated south to North China Plain and most of the Yellow River basin.
  5. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Advance development of the Piaggio P.XIX and the Re.2000 with this engine - equivalent to the Re.2002. Arm with four Breda-SAFAT 12.7mm guns. The wing gune will have a higher rate of fire (700rpm according to Wiki) as opposed to the synchronised version (575rpm from the same source). Built early...
  6. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    It's not like the Germans were completely bereft of technical and combat skill, mind you. The Spanish Civil War provided the Germans valuable combat experience through the Condor Legion and other assorted 'volunteers', allowing them to form the basis of their "maneuver warfare" strategy...
  7. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    But as ridiculous and horrible as those things were, there was an internal logic to them, rooted in their agrarian vision of Kampuchean society. As a comparison, if I proposed an ATL Hitler who tried to exterminate Calvinists, and someone replied that that's pretty far-fetched, I don't think I...
  8. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    The problem is that by the time alternate sources were technologically available, the world was already totally dependent on fossil fuel (and the energy companies were firmly entrenched). Can't see it happening.
  9. Alternate History: Explain the historical event

    in What OTL calls 181 BCE, the Neo-Hittite Empire and the Third Empire of Assyria, after centuries of peace, came within a hair's breadth of war, after Carthaginian assassins killed the Assyrian governor of Cyprus and framed the Hittites, making it look like the Neo-Hittites were planning an...

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

    Unified Baltic states is a fairly common AH trope. Could happen in a Kaiserreich-style scenario. As for Sweden, it could easily have become Gothia or some variation of it.
  11. 1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Unfortunately this could result in a smaller & more obsolete Italian Air Force. If there is always a new cutting edge prototype in development there is a temptation to wait for that to be fully developed before putting it into mass production, in the meantime a new & even more advanced aircraft...
  12. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    Alternate Migrations general discussion

    That's what I'm thinking as well quite recently.
  14. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    This is a valid moral opinion to hold, just don't expect major nation-states to agree with you.

    1933-43: Italy remains on forefront of aviation?

    Use their Macchi racing seaplanes as the starting point for modern fighter development, similar to what Supermarine did. (that turned out OK...... ;) )

    Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I don't know if this is a coincidence or not but here's an animation hazegrayart made of the Boeing SRB-X.
  17. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline
    Threadmarks: The Siege of Constantinople: Part Two

    Mehmed's wrath was now turned to his luckless admiral, Baltaoglu. He rode to the naval camp at a place called the Double Columns. Here, the Sultan launched into a vicious diatribe against Baltaoglu; lamenting the man's failures, insulting his manhood, questioning his bravery. When he was done...
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I don't understand your question as posed as a response to my post? I thought your point was that because G.plan Ost etc wasn't known about at the time then the moral aspect couldn't be part of the justification only the practical concerns. I responded that the moral aspect would have been...
  19. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Most likely yes but then again the Yorks do derive their claim from a Philippa, wouldn't put Lionel out of the running either due to the same reason.
