  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 16 February 1941. El Tahag Camp, Egypt.

    16 February 1941. El Tahag Camp, Egypt. It may have only have been forty miles from Cairo, but the camp near the railway stop of El Quassassin, had been growing into a major transit and training camp. The camp was made up of numbered blocks each being a rectangle 500 yards by 1000 yards. As...
  2. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    You're basically asking for Intermarium, but on a much smaller scale than what Pilsudski wanted. The Allies did not want Poland infringing on what they considered Russian territory, since they viewed the Bolsheviks as a temporary menace. Also, by annexing Latvia and parts of Slovakia, Poland is...
  3. WI: Albert Einstein, President of Israel

    Cross-posting my response from another thread that asked the same question. The TL,DR is that in 1952, Albert Einstein was already in poor health and dies in 1955. There's only so much that he can do before he eventually passes away. The only real historical changes I could see is maybe if he...
  4. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    This is true. Through the whole operation, there was a tension between commanders like Guderian and Rommel, who led panzer divisions and wanted to charge ahead, and higher level commanders like von Rundstedt who led the army group and wanted to proceed with caution. The halt order on May 23...
  5. Never Stay More Than Three Years: Another Dr Who TL

    1980-1983 Michael Aldridge The Sixth Doctor's regeneration was traumatic. The amount of radiation he absorbed whilst saving Sally caused him to use more regeneration energy than normal hence his older appearance. It takes him a while to recover and when he does so he is far more wistful and...
  6. A Different End to the Spanish American War

    It is basically cheaper to keep a state loyal by influence than war. More likely USA would influence them more like latin america than invade them
  7. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Actually I think you will find it was General Richard O'Connor who demonstrated that against the Italians. His forces nearly swept an Italian army 10 times its size out of North Africa and was prevented from doing so in no small part by the diversions of resources to Greece. His capture at the...

    A Different End to the Spanish American War

    They would aid it initially but once the Spanish get peace with the Americans and the Americans get Luzon, the Americans would betray the Visayans and Mindanaoans here, but I think that is doubtful since one of the reasons why the Americans wanted the Philippines is the resources of Mindanao and...
  9. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    Some points to keep in mind: Iron Age Italic populations itself were hardly literate, the beginning of Latin literature was in the mid-late 3rd century BCE, to me it seems that the level of literacy in pre-Christian Runic-using Germanic populations to have been what Italy had(outside Greeks) up...
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    I believe they do these days, but not in 1940. I actually had to go look this up before I posted, because I knew nothing about it. No surprise, there isn't much readily available about "Spanish Navy in WW2". From what I could glean, they had 1 heavy cruiser, 3 light cruisers, 20 destroyers...

    Baptism of Brunei – A Philippine Alternatehistory

    I decided to rename this timeline as Baptism of Brunei since it is still the same Bruneian Empire just Christian.
  12. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    It's always on. It seems to be on at least twice a month on one channel or another.
  13. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    France v Spain (Saint-Denis/Madrid (Santiago Bernabeu)) Germany v Switzerland (Munich/Basel)
  14. A Different End to the Spanish American War

    very common in revolutions for that to happen. most latin american countries or leaders had some of their comrades dead to secure power
  15. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Afaik, Argentina only had 5 AM39 air-launched missiles, bought with the Super Etendards. Modifying other aicraft not just to carry them but to have a completely diferent fire control system (that would have to include an adequate radar: afaik the C-130 had only a weather radar) would take too long.
  16. How would interactions between a pagan Europe and America play out?

    The real thing people should be focusing on is that OTL European treatment of Native Americans was hardly unique and claiming it is and thus assuming that any change to OTL would have a different overall situation by default is faulty. Would you say that pagan cultures in Europe were also...

    Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    So, America has necessarily adopted the British "three party" system of local duopolys. Despite some trouble last time around, it looks like as people have warmed up to a strong 3rd option that more people are voting how they feel by 1968. If the Liberals can stick around in the UK then the...
  18. A Different End to the Spanish American War

    I mean before it ended. and its more likely they would aid them befpre and after the war as they would influence the republics better instead of spain who is still hostile to them because of the war

    A Different End to the Spanish American War

    ITTL, Luzon was sold to the Americans not Mindanao and Visayas so they stopped supporting them.
