  1. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    How would that affect it if that happened
  2. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    Gdańsk and East Prussia is worth something, Lithuania maybe for historical reasons, but there is no point in taking friendly Latvia or the poor Transcarpathia that adds nothing but some more anti-Polish Ukrainians.
  3. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    And they were Oh so close to a nuke?
  4. What if Admiral Yamamoto survived World War II

    Yeah, if he survives World War Two he's going to end up with a rope around his neck. Odds are he just commits suicide when Japan surrenders. The main thing would be conspiracy to wage aggressive war and the attack on Pearl Harbor, which was a major war crime because the Japanese attacked...
  5. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    But we do have large numbers of inscriptions for Etruscan--thousands and thousands, if Wikipedia is to be believed (they do cite academic sources)--dating back quite a long ways before the mid-late 3rd century B.C. We also know from ancient sources that there were a number of books in or on...
  6. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    The ancient Greeks had cities, northern Europeans had a society which build on tribal confederations and æts (clans), while the Greek society build on city states. This allowed the ancient Greeks to have a much specialized economy and society. Monasties serves as hubs of information and know how...
  7. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    The only other big death this year was Notorious B.I.G. but the chances of Elton John's Tribute going to him is slim to none. Have the Oilers moved yet because Houston is wide open, or maybe another LA Team?
  8. WI bigger Panama Canal

    No, it wasn't "pre-fallout knowledge"--Project Plowshare was a 1950s concept, and by that time they were quite familiar with the idea of fallout. Rather, they planned to use the devices in such a way that there would be minimal to no fallout by detonating them deep underground and using the...
  9. List of German Chancellors (1949 - 2030)

    An interesting idea for me, too! If we continue until 2075 or 2100, such later PODs could get interesting, too.
  10. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    In this tl it looks more like a dixiecrat party than a Liberal one depending on your definition of Liberal Ie economic VVD FDP or Social D66 Lib Dem Canada then either or even both the Republican and SDs are better bets
  11. NHBL

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Thanks. That's a good summary. The amazing thing isn't that there were shortages, but that so much got through. It never ceases to amaze me how SMALL European cars tended to be. The passenger cars were bigger, so they could have run more American sized cars in some places. (British loading...
  12. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    And it should be borne in mind that historical reputations aside Guderian and Rommel's charging ahead worked in France because of the limited scale of the battlefield and the excellent French infrastructure of roads and petrol stations. In the Middle East Rommel's tactics stopped being 'daring'...
  13. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    What do you think is special about monasteries? For example the ancient Greeks managed to achieve high literacies without anything similar and while I don't have specific figures I'd say the same goes for the early Chinese too, even before centralization. When thinking about monasteries I have...
  14. List of German Chancellors (1949 - 2030)

    I also had the idea in mind that the FDP does abandon Schmidt in 82, but it is a rather late pod.
  15. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Excellent update. May the inevitable triumph of Grigory Romanov Thought come soon! ;) I genuinely love the personality you have created, although he doesn't look to be as astute as Putin or Xi which will make for an interesting few years ahead. The space race seems equally fascinating, soviet...
  16. List of German Chancellors (1949 - 2030)

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

    High speed rail in the US is absolutely possible, especially in the North East Corridor which has higher densities. A national network probably doesn't work though, since you want more than dense regions at both ends but you want at least some density along the route as well. Linking the East...
  18. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Neither the Hungarian uprising of '56 nor the Prague Spring of '68 were directed against socialism as a form of society. Strong Soviet influence (not just forced influence. The Eastern European communists voluntarily emulated many Soviet pollicies, since the USSR had been the only actually...
  19. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    When the Nationalist under Longstreet finally crushed the corrupt administration of the President who was in Bed with the Mexicans things began to happen which set the the nation on the road to an eventual recovery and a war with the Mexican dictator. General Pershing and Colonel Teddy...
  20. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Still loving the character development, personally. Last two episodes have been great, but the best moment of the season for me so far was the Baldwin family confronting their painful past. Honestly really enjoying the emotional growth of all the characters. You can see RDM taking lessons...
