  1. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    So in this case, should we start asking what if the Japanese began the colonial expansion?
  2. WI: Suleiman takes Vienna

    I imagine the Turks would not have much interest in holding Vienna, only ransacking it and abandoning it. After all, Vienna is only 300 km away from Prague (which would likely become the Habsburgs' capital in exile). Istanbul, meanwhile, is around 1600 km away, give or take. Perhaps a smart move...
  3. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    No - I think Victory was a long way away in June 1940 but there was a sense of the best peace terms that could be expected are worse than continuing the war By July the government at least was not taking the threat of invasion seriously, by Aug they started getting intel on Barbarossa, by Sept...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the most significant German experience with British tanks consisted of the pom-pom equipped Matildas? The Italians are getting a pasting from the Valiant squadrons, so it's not like word hasn't had the opportunity to trickle back to Berlin, but I'm not sure...
  5. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It cost the nazis a massive amount of resources as well. In fact, as a policy I would argue it was a success, given the relative expenditures to both sides and affects on production. Oh but there is. There is a massive moral argument to be had. Were the casualties of the campaign worth the...

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    OTL. ABM ring around Moscow, More ICBMs in Silos and Mobile, plus a huge Conventional Army, Navy and Air Force. They played 'Deep Pockets' with the USA, and Lost, USA, with all that, could put a Man on the Moon, and most people would have a Color TV to watch it on
  7. The Forge of Weyland

    And that's assuming the Belgians have in no way reinforced those defenses, which given TTL is highly unlikely. By this time they most certainly would have had the opportunity to place mines, sight artillery, emplace units recalled from other areas, called up reserves, and otherwise hardened...
  8. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    From Canadian Military History Volume 24, Issue 2, Article 3 British Maritime Coal and Commercial Control in the First World War: More Than Mere Blockade, by Joseph Zeller "Even in the earliest months of the war, the British government was exercising discretion over the sale and use...

    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    The Japanese don't seem to suffer from the stifling bureaucracy and state control syndrome that China does, so they're much more likely to have a colonial program like that of Europe. Depending on how early this happens, the Japanese might still have an Ainu presence in the north of Honshu...

    AHC Screw Russia as hard as possible.

    The Whites actually were more divided politically speaking, so I would wonder how White Russia progresses being as totalitarian as the USSR. Maybe fall into another civil war in a worst-case scenario.
  11. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    The devil would be to scared to lay a finger on Patton
  12. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    I see... just like with the Koreans at various points in history
  13. Kennedy Forever

    For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

    Mate are you kidding? I would buy this if it were a book! It's amazing don't sell yourself short :)

    July 1917 Kadet Coup against Kerenksy?

    His intention was to 'save Russia' by assuming dictatorial power though, as you yourself stated earlier. But Kornilov was not necessarily the victim of a tragic misunderstanding with Kerensky - he was planning on marching to liquidate the Petrograd Soviet whether or not the Provisional...
  15. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    I feel at some point these scribes and scholars are going to have to let up on opposition to printing of the Qur'an. I'm also curious to see what the Asmarid royal family has to say about these developments. Probably some mixed feelings between the various members of the dynasty. Anyways...
  16. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Savoy for Catalina is a good choice, considering the scarcity of good options available at this point

    1920: Progressivism Triumphant, the Fifth Party System and Beyond A Wikibox TL
    Threadmarks: An overview of the Socialist, Prohibition, and Progressive parties in 1924, alongside those running for their nominations

    In the last four years, America has undergone a rapid political shift. What was originally a system dominated by two parties, the Democrats and Republicans, has quickly been shattered, mainly by the Progressives, but with the Socialist and Prohibition parties as well. The Presidency is...
  18. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    President Bush, Sr. May 4, 1991 https://www.nytimes.com/1991/05/05/us/excerpts-from-president-s-speech-to-university-of-michigan-graduates.html The view of “political correctness” as a boogeyman and as an intellectual trap certainly has had its share of legs! :openedeyewink:

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There's a huge difference to what the Allies did . . . . and what the Axis did. Unlike the Axis (The Blitz against the UK, Rotterdam, Warsaw etc), the Allies were trying to degrade the enemies ability to wage war. It wasn't a terror weapon as used by the Axis. Feel free to reference the...
