  1. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    You'd need nuclear power and a government willing to fund the huge amount of capital it would take. Better get the environmental movement onboard with it too. I don't see any push for wind/solar at that point in time, especially since it's far less technologically feasible than just installing...
  2. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Nope, unless the oil and gas are as expensive in 1930s and on as they are in 21st century.
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I heard 80 too Fine looking tank. Hard to say whether the Pz III will be cancelled earlier, the Germans needed a lot of tanks and there was concern about converting. Not implausible if the Pz III long 50 program is lagging behind, but they might wait to convert to a brand new tank rather than...

  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I take your hindsight point, however even at the time I don't think it's either/or moral or practical, but both

    Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Election of 1812 Aaron burr wanted to run for a third term. He had doubled the size of the country, had come to dislike Washington at the end of the term and was quite popular. The democratic-republicans and federalists however both spoke out against this. Sensing that...

    Threadmarks: Chapter Twenty-Six: The Monroe Doctrine

    Chapter Twenty-Six: The Monroe Doctrine Ireland. Following the 12th century Anglo-Norman invasion, England claimed sovereignty. However, English rule did not extend over the whole island until the 16th–17th century Tudor conquest, which led to colonisation by settlers from Britain. In the 1690s...
  9. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    ¡Very good timeline! I have enjoyed very much :) I only would add some comments about this post: For what I know the king name Duerte is misspelled. The right one would be Duarte, that is similar to Eduard in English. Is very unlikely that a union of Portugal and Castile would be named...
  10. Effects on the UK's rail network with an earlier setting up of 'British Railways' in 1900

  11. Effects on the UK's rail network with an earlier setting up of 'British Railways' in 1900

    1900 is too early. However, IIRC a private members bill to nationalise the railways was going through Parliament when World War One broke out. Nationalisation was seriously considered as an alternative to the Grouping. IIRC Churchill suggested that the railways be nationalised and run at a...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Battle of Hanuut is a different in a few ways. Firstly it was fought to tie down French forces rather than as an actual attempt to break the French Lines. The purpose of tying down the French was to allow the Army group going through the Ardennes to Break the French lines. Yes it was costly...

  14. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    People keep bringing up Generalplan Ost and the various horrors that Germany and Japan carried out or planned. This makes some sense in hindsight 75 years later when entire libraries have been written on the subject but I highly doubt that the Allies fought the war the way they did because they...

    Chapter Twenty-Four: Louisiana Purchase Burr took on an idea that to survive America had to grow, it was a common idea in America by 1805 that America had to expand west. Though people did not completely agree on how it should be done. American’s had already begun to expand out west and with...
  16. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Were Portugal or Spain somehow more susceptible to British influence than Italy and Greece? The fact Goeben took on coal multiple times in neutral countries in OTL indicates to me that the British were not effectively exercising the kind of mercantile influence you describe.

    For Singapore: 1) Johore Sultanate actually tried to build up Singapore with Malay immigrants before handing it over to the British. 2) Raffles created a Javanese quarter or Muslim Indian one in Singapore, and actively recruited more muslim immigrants. 3) God forbid, the Japanese imported...
