  1. AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    Being socially conservative and being economically leftist are not mutually exclusive. Being religious and being economically leftist are also not mutually exclusive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_communism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_socialism...
  2. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Not really. I mean can you name an example in history where a Great Power has surrendered to be able to get POWs back? The War had begun, battles have been fought, troops have died and one British government has fallen (on the basis of not fighting well enough) to be replaced by another...
  3. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    I was not speaking of Day’s vocal career, that is inarguable. I was speaking of her acting career. Day did a tv series, in the 60’s-70’s, then nothing, not even a Love Boat appearance, though I understand she turned down the lead in Murder, She Wrote. And from 1967 until her death she had two...
  4. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    You don't need to go back as far as the 1500s. In some alternative universe the EU has approved the OTL accession of Morocco to the European Union... yes... they actually applied for it 1987 ! :cool:
  5. Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    There is some usefulness for very highspeed delivery of 'special' cargos. We occasionally were tasked with our F-15s to make a cross country flight with packages that would fit in 'bay 5' (The space where ECM gear could go or where the second cockpit for the B model two seater was) It was one...
  6. AH Cultural Descriptions

    A play by William Shakespeare that was said to be plagiarized from a lost work of the more popular playwright Francis Bacon. Shakespeare claimed to have written it after a dream though few believed him and it was the only work he ever wrote and was The plot of the play is about two lovers...
  7. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    That's the thing, the French should have no presence in West Africa at all, least of all in the Ivory Coast where there was virtually no French civilian presence. It simply doesn't fit with the anarchic situation that supposedly exists in West Africa or the realities that would exist on the...
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Does anybody like the idea of Robert murchdo coing bankrupt do a combinton of Winestine sheigians and distier of a theme park project
  9. Can Libya Balkanise (De Jure) with a 2010/2011 PoD?

    I hope it's not considered too soon to ask this. The population of Libya is sharply divided into two big chunks, one near Tunisia and the other near Egypt and the 2011 civil war was strongly split between a mostly-loyalist west and a rebellious east. Ultimately the rebels won the war by...
  10. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Except it's not just a railroad project. Dedicated HSR systems don't carry any freight, they are passenger only. In that regard, any HSR project has minimal economic impact on any area of the country it does not serve. At most, you see a short term bump in steel and concrete sales. After that...
  11. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Yes, that is a danger. Hopefully, we can include enough actual history, as well as the occasional reference, plus intriguing AH ideas.

    AHC: Resurrection of Pantheistic Stoicism in the Middle Ages

    Yeah, I’d say that’s ASB. Resurrection of Classical ideals in the Middle Ages (or indeed later, under the auspices of anything other than humanist proto-capitalism) is a popular theme, but not at all plausible. Christianity mattered - it was the entire basis of the medieval worldview. Heinrich...
  13. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    I've already pointed out what mechanized forces were available to the Italians. I've also pointed that the British already had to go around Africa. It makes no difference compared to their OTL situation. What air and artillery advantage? I've already pointed out that the Desert Air Force kicked...
  14. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    A bit off topic, but how is Russia only "somewhat" part of Europe? I mean, I'm guessing it's related to Siberia making the majority of Russia physically in Asia, but the vast majority of the population lives in the European portion on the west, and is culturally tied to Europe for that reason...
  15. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    What if she cannot get coal in said Spanish port? Or the Spanish refuse to sell it under pressure from the UK The British will know the second she appears at any Spanish port - and she would still be in the Med I assume in this scenario - as obviously passing Gibraltar would be noticed (if she...
  16. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Bill Paxton as a German officer? Can't really see him pulling off a German accent. Otherwise pretty damn good.
  17. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The interstate highway system covers every state as do airports. As everyone here (even the biggest boosters) the HSR would only cover the NEC.
  18. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I'm thinking smarter Nazi policies and propaganda ( I know, "smarter?" ) combined with somehow bagging the BEF into pow camps. English language broadcasts of lamenting a million young British dead in Great War and now 200000 languishing in camps, with the Germans on coast,France out of the war...
  19. WI: Britain Keeps Michigan and Wisconsin Territory If America Still Goes Independent?

    I think Britain keeping that would have detrimental effects on Anglo American relations. One thing that comes to mind there was the Webster ashburton treaty. Maybe that would be an issue that was not ironed out. Perhaps also the British territory south of the 49th parallel remains in Britain to...
