  1. Some questions about Nazi-Soviet relations.

    Except as works like 'Wages of Destruction' make clear Hitler was fully aware of the economic might of the USA, indeed part of the reason he wanted to unite Western Europe under German rule and take control of the land and resources of the USSR was precisely to create a counter to the rising...
  2. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    Amazing story. If it is true. What if? https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=el&tl=en&u=https://www.newsauto.gr/specials/people/otan-i-ellada-ithele-na-agorasi-3-atomikes-vomves/
  3. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    I think the airstrip warrants a post of it's own, which hopefully appeals to the technically minded. The Port Stanley airstrip was 4,100' long, 150' wide and had a Load Classification Number of 16 but with parts having LCN 30. Hardstand parking was extremely limited (the British though maybe...
  4. Crusader Kings III

    I favour Harald Finehair in 867 after binge ~ watching Vikings series 8 [I'm really excited it's getting a sequel!] on Amazon Prime and am looking forward to playing as Russian rulers as well; I'm also told 3% of my maternal DNA may well be either Viking or Russian in origin, which could explain...

    WI Penn founds Philadelphia further downriver

    ...remember their name right) family to be the initial plat/foundation of Philadelphia. As GuildedAgeNostalgia also stated, being closer to or in OTL *Delaware means that *Delaware doesn't come into being as even more Anglos/Quakers spill into what was once New Sweden to drown out the local New...
  6. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    I wrote the following before I saw @lordroel's second post... True. However, which one serves the Central Powers' cause the best? The Turkish fleet was in greater needed of reinforcement than than the Austro-Hungarian fleet. OTOH Turkish naval bases had minimal repair & maintenance...
  7. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    I see. Very interesting. Thanks!
  8. WI the US attempted to meddle in the 1837-1838 Canadian rebellions?

    Possibly. Chances are better in Quebec (which was more of a rebellion). Chances also probably better if 1812 invasion hadn't occurred. Brits wont be giving up the East Coast, but with American involvement potentially establish the Canadas as puppet republic.
  9. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    The worst who can happen is a split between Macedonia and the rest of Empire depending from Adea Eurydice’s ATL wedding: if she married either Alexander or Neoptolemus of Epirus (son of Alexander’s sister Cleopatra and their maternal uncle) her son would have great chances to be elected as King...
  10. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    IIRC the Russians had no amphibious lift ability on the Black Sea in 1914, and would not have the troop transports available for their planned descent upon the Bosphorus until 1917 - and they never turned up then either.
  11. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I wonder how big the UAC will be by the 21st century.
  12. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    The debates over “political correctness” are a product of America’s history of slavery and Jim Crow. Only by changing the history of slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, civil rights, etc. could the debates over “political correctness” be butterflied away.

    DBWI: Caesar does not conquer Parthia

    I suppose, but still, the Parthians were a bit of a mess at that time. Actually he took Mesopotamia and the western half of Parthia and then installed a vassal king.
  14. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons

    Ah yes, knew that twas an error! Tah!
  15. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Alexander will NOT marry his daughters to his generals or their sons (excluding Hephaestion’s, who also would have royal Persian blood by their mother). Exactly. And looking at precedents I see Alexander’s son with Stateira securing his crown without too many troubles.
  16. The Sons in Splendor Vol IV: The Eclipse of the Sons

    Ah Halloween update idea. Sorted.
  17. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Just empire-weakening civil wars. Macedon might have been able to weather such problems, Persia might have been able to, but what of this amalgamated Macedon-Persia empire?
  18. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Not yet legal in Texas! (nor even particularly close) Okay, if we’re really going to go with the theory that people’s lives and society as a whole goes better to the extent marijuana replaces alcohol — which I believe — maybe legal marijuana at age 16, and alcohol at 18? And if we really want...

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

    It's almost as if roads move more than just people... Roads open markets and allow access to resources. If your state produces anything it's in your state's interest to make the Feds ensure that Cletus of Nowheresville Oklahoma is able to buy it. The same can't be said of dedicated passenger...
