  1. Rommel goes to trial.

    Patton died in a car crash. Those things are dangerous.
  2. WI: Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Survives, His Wife Dies in Childbed

    Actually she wasn't. She wrote "he [George] has been tempted by the dowry. Who wouldn't be." Little more. She didn't like her daughter-in-law and Sophie Dorothea was afraid of Sophia. Sophia really had no choice in the matter. Morganatic means that Eddy has to pick a wife from one of the then...

    The Forge of Weyland

    My old latin master would call that a rather loose translation ... perhaps even a deliberately positive spin for publicity purposes Ardua is mostly translated as hardships (Or sometimes difficulties) And therefore the aphorism refers to the state of the environment not the qualities of the...

    AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    As for religious (specifically Christian) communism, I think that trying to create a utopia on Earth is contrary to religious teaching (that Jesus will bring the Kingdom of God after the end times), but I do not think that left wing economic and right wing social policy are incompatible or...
  5. WI: FDR and Willkie survive, form a "Liberal Party"

    Franklin D. Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie, once political rivals, became close collaborators during World War II. They toyed with the idea of forming a liberal political party after the war, but both of them died before they were able to do so. What if they had lived and formed the party?
  6. WI: Reagan wins the GOP nomination in 76, loses to Carter

    Well in 1976 Carter had not been in national office. Reagan's oppositon to medicare could have been a bigger issue. He was in fact fairly extreme. I think it would have been possible to make him rather scary. Had Reagan lost by a narrow margin in 76 he would look viable. However I think he...

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

    Yeah. Alot of nanny state stuff does strike me as being more than a little bit racist and classist, with an aim at attacking working class subcultures when possible.
  8. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I'm very excited for a thriving House of Tudor

    WI: Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn Survives, His Wife Dies in Childbed

    If she is born in the TL she will definitely be happier childhood without the Kensington System and would be a great older sister. Her status as an older sister of a king is also interesting for marriage, possible the Russian proposal?

    Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

    It'd probably be a worthy sacrifice. After all the thread is titled "your personal pop culture utopia timeline" so alot of what I'd like isn't what'd be the most popular. IMO anime/manga being more popular in the west has been the big thing as far as animation/comics age ghetto shrinking as...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    The dark secret of Moonlight is that sometimes I forget things too. :P It's why I've got a bunch of internal lists.
  12. TL-191: After the End

    The USA and the German Empire are still friends on the world stage, but not in the same way as during the two Great Wars. Both great powers, since the end of the SGW, have built up additional security alliances of their own. The USA, by 2021, has established friendly economic and security ties...
  13. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    As it says - she'd revealed in High Society that she could sing as well . Any possible roles spring to mind? Apart from Hitchcock, that is.
  14. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    Hitler would still be there. While Hindenburg facilitated Hitler's rise I am not sure sidetracking Hindenburg would sideline Hitler
  15. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/2225847 Great result with Ford on Normal; picked Baker and mixed moderate answers with a few appeals to the Reaganites (opposing Roe, the "reducing government" answer), won OTL Ford + OH, WI, PA, MS, HI. I think I could have won New York if...
  16. Supersonic troop transporter aircrafts

    Hence why nobody plans on doing that. Entering hostile territory with transports is basically only for airborne attacks and supporting airborne lodgements. Attempting one of those beyond the range that can be supported by fighters is essentially throwing away the airborne troops involved as they...
  17. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    I'd think the best insight into the process of Futhark giving way to the Latin Alphabet (with peculiar carry-overs in English being flensed out by printing) would come from considering its trajectory in England. The English among Nordic (more or less) peoples adopted Christianity fairly early...
  18. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    ...said to have equivalent beliefs about a properly moral ordering of the world. The NSW, Vic and Qld police controlling the criminal underground. The *formally* genocidal massacres ending in the 1930s, later murderous incidents being police riots. Criminal corruption too lazy to figure out...
