    How would nuking Disney get rid of the entire concept of social justice?
  2. Scenes from other worlds

    Something totally new, we will see how it will evolve “Sometimes divine justice existed“ that was the first thought of Margaret of Burgundy, hearing who her beloved niece in the end had not truly shared her fate of political pawn, tossed on Europe’s chessboard, after losing to another the...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    His plans were often pretty good, he was able to halt the Russian advance at Limanowa, he was able to reorganize and rearm the army in the middle of the war, and he did have an eye for talent. In addition, he fought hard to prevent Austria-Hungary's subordination to Germany. He wasn't an ideal...
  4. WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    France only needs to be so big, and will need an ally. A Poland that is a counterweight to Russia+ Austria is kinda a necessity. I do think the odds of Napoleon being assassinated by a rival increases in this timeline.

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    While I don't much (I know nothing) about the subject. I have heard that it was the Austrian command that was the incapable as the Austrian army had performed well under German leadership?
  6. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    This is straying dangerously close to current politics, since it's becoming clear that johnrankins rejects the entire premise of the AHC and prefers his government small enough to drown in the bathtub. Focusing on the AHC a bit more, I think once there is one HSR in the USA (probably the North...
  7. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    It may be far too late for a change in policy as the American contingent in Northern Russia had already been withdrawn that August, and the voting public itself had no interest in pursuing a conflict that it was simply not invested in. There were also major concerns over what the Japanese end...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Anyone have the drawings for the 40,000 tons Saratoga and Lexington conversions the USN wanted to do but couldn't because of the WNT?
  9. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    How bad does this make their enemies, considering that this crippled army suffered over a million casualties and still fought on until it was clear that the war was lost regardless?
  10. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    Such as? I suggest you read Stumbling Colossus by Glantz which has a lot of detail in the Soviet position and on the messages going back to Stalin from both the Military and NKVD on the state of the Army which is entirely short term conscripts dependent on taking up agricultural machinery and...
  11. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    Just wait until NATO hears about the USSR and USA.
  12. WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    The problem with Napoleon championing republics in Germany is that it will be harder for him to get allies in the existing states, and it runs the risk of a pan-German union forming that might be capable of challenging the Rhine border.
  13. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    You do now if Greece became a nuclear power, Turkey will also want to, and the last thing the rest of NATO wants are two countries who do not like each other armed with nukes.
  14. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    The rune was shifted into three new ones due to internal changes in Old English, not having anything to do with any foreign tongues, I think, unless you have knowledge of what was in the man's (or maid's) mind who made the change, when the English were young, and their greatest foe was the...
  15. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    This. Tritium is the big problem; while a boosted fission weapon doesn't need much (≪ one gramme typically for thermonuclear weapons) without it the weapon is vastly reduced in capability. For example (and I checked this data for a piece I wrote elsewhere given certain recent......comments in...

    Alternate warships of nations

    You think about the conjectural design seen above (^^^) and one might get the six gun specials that I describe in the Teddy Roosevelt timeline I author. The problem is that for 1935, the Devastator was real state of the art, but Ed Heinemann genius though he was, would not know what we know...
  17. The official discussion thread: 1918 - The German Navy sorties one last time -V.IV-

    So we get a version V, nice, ore is that wrong to say.
  18. Name for a Liverpool/Manchester Megacity?

    Lesser London 😂

    A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Still. Just seems a bit drastic for a Pope know for working with words not swords. And since his edicts were to help Rome surely he’d understand and be ok with it. But I’ll reserve judgement till after we see how Majorian interacts with the church later on.
  20. The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    As one wise man said, a historic novel (*) should contain “war, love and a little bit of a divine intervention”. Stick to that formula and you may end up as a modern Dumas. 😜😜😜😜😜😜 Of course, the conclusion remains the same: eventually, he dies. But some sinister Spanish and French political...
