    I do did read some parts of it , really is good Esp it’s deployment as a SSM part
  2. LostInNewDelhi

    The New World of the White Huns

    That's what I'm thinking too, at least for this century and the next. But even now, there may be an interest in ensuring that some Lankan community remains in ports like Lisbon-- if not in a conquered port, then in some Shanghai-style concession or quarter with legal basis in treaties and/or...

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

    No you really just don't get it. Good thing the government builds infrastructure as a form of corporate welfare rather than for its own profit. That's not what I've argued. So this isn't actually a useful data set. But all states do benefit from pretty much any improvement, anywhere, to the...

    WI: Queen Victoria Was Male/King Victor?

    He would take over as Duke of Kent and Strathearn from the death of his father, Prince Edward, in 1820, to his ascension to the throne in 1837. Oh, and this individual would go by the name of Alexander Edward (and would adopt the regnal name Edward VII).
  5. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It matters but it is hardly an existential crisis for the British. Losing ~200,000 men is never good but since the Germans had zero ability to actually pull off a cross-Channel invasion the Brits are safe.

  7. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Sorry to bring this to the forfront again, but essential this is a question of what theory of history you believe in. Great man theory of history --> replacing Hitler with Göring (or another Nationsocialist) and Stalin with Molotov (or another Communist) will change history profoundly, versus...

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    None of the religions mentioned proselytize like Christianity or Islam, much less as aggressively as them.
  9. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    I never said that, it is more transporting passengers routes is a magic spell that guarantees that long distance trains are economically unjustified, certainly in the US.
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    There still has to be a significant garrison in the UK - it was pretty much until 42 the principle 'factory' of the Allies once France had surrendered. And many of the units were not ready for deployment or fully trained - but I guess greater risks could have been taken and the rest of the...
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    And because Miramax is tiny, Murdoch can get away with purchasing it and letting the Weinstein brothers go wild with it. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing will be up to Father Time. I'm not saying there are good reasons why he should face those charges, but between this, giving Bill...
  12. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Some ore wikiboxes from my Decembrist Victory TL. Same wolrd as these: Europe in 1840 First Russian Republic Mikhail Orlov, Head of the Russian State Alexander, prince-consort of the UK Second French Republic August V of Poland, Konstantin Fredrik I of Finland, Friedrich Eugen of Livonia...

    Relax and take your time. Waiting here for the old Napo to come back and continue the party.
  14. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    Henri de Navarre giving up his own claim? 😲 I do not imagine him doing that, even in favor of his wife. And non-Leaguer Catholics could support male Catholic Capetian princes, like the Cardinal de Vendôme. The abolishment of Salic Law was a project of the Leaguers to legitimize their own...

    Threadmarks: Entertainment News for July 1985

    Justice Department approves Rupert Murdoch's purchase of Miramax Films. The Australian-born Murdoch, already the owner of The New York Post in the US and News of the World in the UK, will allow Miramax's founders, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, to run the tiny New York-based film studio as they see...
  17. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    It was not just the 7th RTR Now its possible that with the BEF forces not evacuated Winston might not have been as confident in stripping the UK 'Garrison' to such an extent and Home fleet assets for adventures in Dakar for example. But its clear from early July he saw the threat of Sealion...
  18. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    British reinforcements don't arrive until after September IOTL. You have the Italians invading in July, a good two months ahead of OTL, and this a month after declaring war. The British aren't just going to sit there with their thumbs up their asses and their troops fighting in Egypt for three...

    Se Deus quiser, há-de brilhar! - Uma História do Império Português (Updated 03/18)

    In regards to Morocco it really depends on how Portuguese handle the country. this Portugal is about 3x the size of iotl Portugal and has huge resources at its disposal but you right if it overextends itself it will be sucked into endless war. on other hand if it keeps to coast 50-100...

    Timeline Elevator Pitch: Stuck with The Right Stuff

    I'd be curious to see how the actual funding numbers pan out on Gemini capsule vs adaptor. Regardless, avoiding all the testing and requalification required by a new capsule design should save a lot of time and money. Even if that time and money is only 20% of the total development cost, it...
