  1. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Easy - as soon as the British hear she is entering a given port - they buy up every bit of coal available and like in Italy pressure the Spanish Government to make her leave as soon as possible. (I recall that in Messina the ships had to use coal taken from a handful of German freighters which...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I don't fully subscribe to Goldhagen's arguments, but even if we accept them don't forget occupied Europe.
  3. WI Vargas dies in 1942, who replaces him? Do Brazil democratise?

    I think it's too late for him, since U-507's rampage will force his hand due to the public outrage it created. Assuming Harro Schacht decides not to prey on Brazilian ships for whatever reason, however, I could see Campos keeping the country out of the war for as long as possible, perhaps until...

    in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    "Nanny state" in the US context is usually used to refer to smoking bans, taxes on soda, drug laws, high drinking age, etc. It's not used in the sense you're thinking of.
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Always a party when Late Night TV Comedy ends up poking its head into one of these.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    And your alternative for hitting German factories is...? You're talking about a time when hitting within a mile of your target was precision.
  7. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Nearly coffee splattered the screen when I read that Connery wasn't the captain of the Russian/Soviet submarine, nice touch. Of course you need a Brit to play the bad guy and Berkoff is one of the best for that.

    Have the Short's Belfast be more successful

    Have the Short's Belfast be more successful with at least 300 sales. More RAF orders? More foreign sales? Possible future improved versions? Much obliged!

    Threadmarks: III: Vandal Carthage

    Vandal Carthage The peace that had been established between the Romans and Vandals would not last for long with Gaiseric breaking the treaty in 439 with an invasion of the province of Africa Proconsularis to lay siege to Carthage. A wily general, he had timed his siege to occur while the city’s...

    Is Germany still a Monarchy? Has there been Socialist or Republican uprisings?

    Napoleon:the greatest french monarch

    Napoleon achieved great things. He was also defeated, lost his throne and his was empire destroyed, while he was alive. There are French Kings who while perhaps not achieving the highs Napoleon did also had reigns with little to no defeats, having lasting success.

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    I don’t think the death of Spock sees an earlier TNG or no more TOS movies. Same way they planned for Phase II or TMP not to have Spock.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 8 - A new Husband for Catherine of Aragon

    Chapter 8 - A new Husband for Catherine of Aragon In early November of 1506, Catherine of Aragon and her maid staff arrived at A Coruna in Spain. It had been the same spot from which, she had set sail for England, just over 5 years ago. It must've been quite painful for her, with all the...

    WI a Communist murders Franco, after June 22 1941

    The little the communist did was pretty useless. They killed Franco, yes... But as quick he dies, another is chosen to take the seat. The communist is probably arrested and executed using the "Garrote Vil". In days where Spain is practically ruined, an even harder border blockade won't allow to...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    But were they truly innocent?
  18. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Been through this many times. The Triple Alliance was not a blank check where Italy had to support Austria no matter what. It was a treaty to preserve the status quo. Austria made commitments to Italy and Austria broke them not Italy It goes further back than that. As soon as Golochowski...
