  1. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    Then the Pope is still in Charles V’s hands, and he is the ruler who had lost Vienna. More reasons for calling that crusade Still Spain is direct possession of the Emperor so they will do what their ruler want. And Francis I was just released by Charles V after Pavia, want get back his...

    Claudius if Germanicus becomes Emperor?

    I think Claudius could also expect a consulship. Even Caligula gave him that, one alongside himself no less.
  3. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    It's a very interesting question. I think if the Nazis had clung onto power, a civil war would have occurred, but if they were removed by the military, what would new leaders have wanted? Suppose a vaguely sensible German nationalist faction had come out on top. They might consider that Germany...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I could see a M.A.S.H. analogue being made, a German field hospital in Korea. Possibly as a movie rather than a series as there's no Vietnam war, (yet - touch wood), for it to be a protest against. Although if there is, I can see two things happening if Gerta is involved in the production...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    He could but it's a tough one at the time because: 1). he thinks "dehousing" will be effective 2). he already knows he can do it successfully vs. gambling on precision bombing 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the nest'. 3). it's less risky than than pinpoint bombing so he's also weighing...
  6. Se Deus quiser, há-de brilhar! - Uma História do Império Português (Updated 03/18)

    What happened with La Beltreaneja? Did sve marry some Castillian member of high nobility? Any issue? Same thing for Isabel, did she marry for King of Naples?

    Pop-culture of the Kaiserreich

    I wonder how a Command and Conquer: Red Alert style game would work. Like, obviously there would probably be three factions from the start, rather than just two, namely the German Empire, Syndicalists, and the Entente, but how that would look in detail is a bit murkier. German Empire, though...
  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Even worse than 1915, because in 1915 they were holding almost all of Belgium, as well as Alsace Lorraine and the most industrialized areas of France.
  9. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Ayutthaya for a more ambitious Kingdom of Siam could probably work.
  10. Best strategy for Santa Anna during and post texan revolution

    No. A conflict between the two won't last that long. Centralization did nothing but cause revolts in the outlying regions of Mexico for decades in the country's early history. Federalism perhaps hinders development, but it does instill stability and loyalty from the outlying regions...
  11. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    Ottomans would not annex Vienna directly, because there is Kingdom of Hungary on the way. And anti-Ottoman crusade would be de facto anti-Zapolya crusade as well, that makes Polish participation unlikely. Loss of Austria's capital would be devasting for Feedinand's image among his Hungarian and...
  12. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    I disagree. - Neither the Papal States nor Venice were friends with the Holy Roman Emperor at this point (the War of the League of Cambrai had just ended several years earlier), not to mention a Lutheran army under Charles V had sacked Rome in 1527. - Spain was not yet the powerhouse it would...
  13. AHC: Longest possible airship age

    If a large enough airship becomes viable, rifle fire and even primitive bombs would become useful for ground attack. I agree machine guns would probably be too inaccurate to hit much of use, but dropping explosives with lots of shrapnel could become pretty useful in the early days, which would...

    Oh aye, ones commissioned just waiting on it!
  15. WI: Root vs Wilson in 1912

    ...country, but he doubted very much whether he could, in a campaign on his own behalf, convince them of the sincerity of his views." Philip Jessup, *Elihu Root, Volume Two: 1905-1937*, p. 124. I think this would be doubly applicable in 1912: even conservative Republicans would realize that...
  16. No G harder then Kenny G

    Oh wow! If this keeps going like this, Death Row will own the world!

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I personally don't think the Italian experience of British tanks will be taken seriously at all by the Germans. After all, while the Germans have seen the Italians swept from Africa like dust in no time at all, the German experience against the British comes from a swift victorious campaign in...
  18. Best strategy for Santa Anna during and post texan revolution

    Wont this make Mexico worse because Santa Anna loyalist and Urrea supporters will fight until someone wins. which in theory will destroy more of mexico. Santa anna's policies of centralization seems better in the long run
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    All war is evil, even if not all sides or actions are judged equally evil. All violence including violence for self defence is also evil by the same absolute standards. You can build a moral system on absolutes but if you can't apply it in real life to mitigate suffering it's pointless. see...
  20. Sports What Ifs.

    I would think that a team that would crave for a higher end first round QB like Rivers would be the Browns or even the Cards. The only reason why I suppose that they picked Detroit was moreso because of some poor Lions fan.
