  1. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Well, trains (even HSR) are only more efficient than planes in distances less than 500 miles (maybe 600 if it is HSR). The only place in the country with major cities within that distance is... the Northeast Corridor (Boston, New York, Philidelphia, Washington DC) and maybe in south Florida...
  2. If You Can Keep It: A Revolutionary Timeline

    That's the essential gist of it, yes! That being said, there's more things in play. Colombia (OTL's Latin America) is more united (and as of now a monarchy) and plays a role more or less analogue to the United States in this timeline. Things in Europe will start meaningfully diverging around...
  3. If You Can Keep It: A Revolutionary Timeline

    Is this a timeline where the USA goes through the same turmoil as most South American countries?

  5. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    There was a certain NASA narrative that liked to blame Shuttle design compromises on Air Force involvement. But you're right -- the wing design really originated at NASA. Getting kind of an F-35 vibe here...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Even without Ike, the Interstate was picking up support every election after 1944, when was first introduced. If not him, JFK would have signed the Bill into Law a couple years later

    Map Thread XX

    Here is what I've made so far. Steppe nomads have, for the most part, settled into organized chiefdoms with the majority of Mongolia being unified due to import of chinese goods and the organization of agricultural reform as a result of steel coming from the Song. In place of Laos, there is a...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    This is what killed Passenger Rail. Not the people flying, but the loss of First class Mail Contracts with the Post Office to carry mail from city to city. Evene with RPO cars to do mail sorting, the Jets carried more mail, and faster, to where by the '60s buying Airmail over 1st Class didn't...
  9. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    excuse me about NATO, I should've said "countries within the US sphere of influence," where my point about carrots and sticks still apply as for the "constitutional crisis" it's notable how all violent seizures of power that benefit US interests cease to become coups or putsches and suddenly...

    I would love to see a chapter on that symbol of American capitalism and cultural imperialism IOTL-namely, Coca-Cola.
  12. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    Not really. The map simply doesn't address anything east of Danzig basically and only shows the administrative divisions of 1944 and before for that region
  13. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    To have the Interstate not be built by the federal government you have to prevent Ike from seeing the military potential of the Autobahn while in Europe and then becoming President.

  16. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Apparently they were starting from scratch. The whole thing was a Navy show and was a condition placed on Galtieri for the Navy's support of his takeover of power in December 1981. I don't know why they didn't have a constantly updated plan, but in the decade leading up to the war Argentina...
  17. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    For HSR to come to the USA other forms of transport must not be as heavily subsidized, for example instead of having freeways built by government all over the place have private companies building the roads and charge tolls like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_Motor_Parkway a POD...

    I’m afraid that I’m unable to provide answers to those questions. As you wrote, these seem more like questions for the “Filling in the Gaps” thread.

    Probably not going to continue tbh. I know enough of Walts history to recognize some bits, but if I can't tell what is ATL vs OTL it loses a lot for me. Although I get why it is written that way.
