  1. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    I won't argue him being first. I've just disliked Dugout Doug a lot longer. ;)
  2. Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    Maritime Patrol and Airborne Early Warning versions to replace the Shackletons. No withdrawal from East of Suez policy (not that it fully happened). Australia buys a Squadron to support their forces in Vietnam. Commercial sales to support the oil industry in the Middle East.
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Valiant at this stage in the war will have had little to no bearing on any possible changes to German tank design or development. The Germans have not faced the Valiant in battle that they likely know of and any reports from the Italians will be too new and patchy to cause meaningful change...
  4. Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    Have the RAAF pick up a different tactical transport such as the smaller C-123, which was available earlier than the original purchase of the C-130A in 1958. Originally there was a purchase of 12 Hercules in 1958, followed by another twelve in 1964. The second batch basically falls right in...
  5. The Stomach of Man Under Socialism: A Culinary History of Socialist America

    An IWW (Chicago) / Homesteader / 40 acres and a mule / Sharecropper / Crossborder hand & fruitpicker alliance isn’t impossible. This will walk straight into scale of production and mechanisation issues: the allies aren’t producing tens of thousands of head of cattle; millions of tonnes. Their...
  6. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The answer here is, it depends. Back in 2012, Amtrak laid out a plan to upgrade the NEC that included replacing several bridges and tunnels, straightening the track and several other improvements that would allow them to reach 220 MPH and cut travel time between Philadelphia and Washington from...
  7. July 1917 Kadet Coup against Kerenksy?

    This isn't true. His ultimate intention can be summarized as saving Russia, which he would do by destroying the soviets and communist agitation at the front. The soldiers and other officers abandoned him because they genuinely believed he had attempted a coup, which is in no way patriotic...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I think it does, but not just from that Tank OTL, the Germans were able to beat up on the Mk VII Light, A9, A10, and the Cruisers without issue, withonly a handful of A12 Matilda that gave them the sweats at Arras. This TL, near every time they met British Armor, they came out on the worse end.
  9. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    To Coventry with You! Are BanHammers included?
  10. Sony never makes PlayStation

    Nah by sheer butterfly inertia no surprise launch but Saturn price will be high thanks to Nakayama. Have they just listened Suzuki...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Considering we could possible see a Nordic schism emerge between Angland/Denmark and the rest of Christendom, it's not far off to see ethnic tensions flare up between the Irish and the Anglish, who probably hold the Irish to some contempt even with the butterflying of the Normans, over religion...
  12. Can Persia Avoid Islam? If it Does, Can it Remain Zoroastrian?

    As per the title, really. Is there a way that Persia can avoid the Arab Invasion, and if so, what does this mean for its native religion? Would it remain an outlier of nations, Zoroastrian but surrounded by more "mainstream" faiths? Or would it eventually succumb to Islam through softer means...
  13. Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    INDIa places an order for their transport fleet as they seek to modernize defenses in andanam and Nicobar islands

    It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    Indeed that is on the cards. I was actually going to include a section on Soviet overtures to France in the last update, but I felt it was getting to be long enough as it was, so it's been shelved for later. France certainly isn't going to support Germany, some degree of support to the Soviets...
  15. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    If Catapult goes ahead, which may be effected by the pressure to maintain naval assets close to home, it will seem an act of desperation and probably push away potential allies. Certainly if Britain looks notably weaker it may strengthen the hand of those in France who favoured an alliance, or...
  16. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars
    Threadmarks: Part 2-28

    …The Dual Monarchy was put in a precarious position by the unexpected nature of the Italian March Offensive. The spring floods were protecting their western flank and giving them time to strip the rest of the country for reserves to hold off the Italians just a bit longer. However the quality of...
  17. Hitler incapacitated on 1 june 1940 (stroke/aphasia)

    Goring. I don't think anybody else would invade the Soviet Union. OTL Hitler got advice against it. Goring would take advice and/or just wants to live well and die in a bed, I think Germany would adopt a siege / long haul strategy against Britain and try to make Britain believe he is a...
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Right wing German leadership if more pragmatic and Machiavellian would have been great allies against communists , nazis downfall might have happened at the hand of the army top brass
  19. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    There's still a lot of decent valleys for farming in the West, most notably the Central Valley and if you can get the water there then the Columbia Plateau and a lot of the California and Arizona desert becomes quite useful. And if you cleared the land and prepared it for farming (by slash and...
