    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Honestly the OPs problem seems to be he's operating under the extremely naive view that the German people of the time wanted to be liberated. That they were looking for any chance to throw off the Nazi yoke and return to freedom, democracy, and peaceful coexistance. But the problem is, that just...
  2. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    Fair point. Even so, it demonstrates USN had been trying for a very long time, so I shouldn't have ignored that, because, in-TL, planners wouldn't have. :) (The F-111 might have ended up being the successful one, providing TTL butterflies away McNamara, which I'd do just because.;) {Somebody...
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    One of Mussolini's bigger secrets was supposed to be his crippling addiction to milk and crackers. As in he supposedly ate multiple pounds of the combo a day often being the only thing he ate. Supposedly the terrible diet really fucked up his stomach but he just kept at it. That and having his...
  4. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    To point to the “better” bombing campaigns of ‘43 onwards is a false equivalence as the bombing campaigns of ‘40-‘42 were required for the later campaigns to be so effective. The WAllies couldn’t “simply do it better earlier” they had to learn how to be better by the earlier experience.
  5. Sony never makes PlayStation

    Right. I just kinda assumed it was true given the general consensus. Still, I don't see why the Saturn could do any worse than it did IOTL (unless Sega makes the same exact mistakes they did, just against Nintendo instead of Sony).
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    All of the numerous atrocities, bloodbaths and horrors in history are performed in the name of greater causes by normal sane people who believe they’re doing the right and necessary thing rather than out of sadism, greed, psychopathy, revenge etc. Hitler and his followers genuinely believed...
  7. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Citation needed - and something more than me criticizing the show itself. Quote me criticizing people for liking the show or the characters or don't put words in my mouth.
  8. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    More like Adieu. He's not coming back this time.....
  9. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    You've mentioned several times how you think liking the show and its characters is an invalid opinion, I have absolutely heard you.
  10. Van Doos et d'autres Canadiens to FIC, April 1940

    I don't think there was much enthusiasm for either one. Certainly not more for France than Britain. This might, just, encourage more Quebecois volunteers & thus butterfly away the conscription crisis, as well as mitigating the '44 infantry manpower crisis for the Canadian Army. (I dream of it...

    Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    The utility of flattops is such that these ships are useful even in ASW and anti-ship operations and coastal support operations (a la the experience of Kido Butai in 1937-1941) on the flank of an army's operations. Uhm; the operations could be effective where the land-based access to air-power...
  12. Best strategy for Santa Anna during and post texan revolution

    The first and third problem can be solved by working on the quartermaster corp and bringing transport directly into the army instead of paying outside teamsters. We've talked a lot about the proposed American camel corp, would something like that be possible for Mexico? Do something to limit...
  13. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Sure, you can try to put political commissars in place, but the Chinese actually had a fair number of problems from rebellions and dissent from outlying provinces (Korea under the Sui and Vietnam in general probably being the most famous, then Sichuan...) over the course of time, and there's...

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

    With the British occupied in the East I imagine the French would probably be pretty open to it, makes sense for both countries.

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    I read a few years ago a French history magazine that did a special episode on alternative history. One of the scenarios was the Invincible Armada. If I remember correctly, the Invincible Armada managed to reach the ports of the Netherlands, and then an agreement was made with England: in...
  16. Sony never makes PlayStation

    Nope that's another myth ,the main reason was virtua fighter mega sucess in arcade, yu suzuki proposed add some chips like what would become the sega virtua processor chip but hayao nakayama, doing a favor to his college buddy as hitachi president.. decide add the infamous second cpu.
  17. Pull a Meiji reatoration on Qajari Persia before Russia wrecks them

    You would need to find a way to keep the Safavid bureaucracy running without necessarily needing a strong Shah all the time. Michael Axworthy blames the demise of the empire on this, because the central administration was unable react to rebellions along the tribal frontier regions. Starting...
