  1. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    The British might have reached an accommodation with the Nazi's but it would have been an accommodation that the Nazi's were not prepared to give - why should they - they were winning. So there was a sense that continuing the war was preferable to the type of peace that Mr Hitler might be...
  2. WI Penn founds Philadelphia further downriver

    Philadelphia is unique among the northeastern American port cities in that it is located fairly far upriver. Based on what I picked up in a visit to the Swedish American Historical Museum in Philadelphia, and on the Wikipedia article on the city, it seems that William Penn selected the location...
  3. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    I see what you mean. I did remember watching a few history documentaries that mentioned that.
  4. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Perhaps you are right and Britain would somehow come back from the throes of defeat. However I think you are forgetting the absolute depths of morale in British around this time. Churchill nearly reached breaking point many times, meanwhile he had powerful segments of the conservative leadership...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Pushing that chapter out seems to have broken a bit of a mental logjam. Expect another chapter soon. We're entering a new phase of history here: Christian kingdoms other than Angland are beginning to nose around the Gharb al-Aqsa and the Indian Ocean. We'll see how history unfolds when Asmarid...
  6. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    It appears to me that Skaramagos is being set up to be a deus ex machina for this purpose.
  7. The flame of British Liberalism burns steady and brighter: A timeline from 1945

    With Britain keeping its independent nuclear deterrent, its delivery system was an issue. Gaitskell wanted to keep Skybolt, but Kennedy officially cancelled the Skybolt program on 22 November 1962, because of several test flight failures. (1) In December Gaitskell went to...
  8. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Actually quite the opposite. MacArthur is, possibly, the most overrated U.S. Army officer this side of George Armstrong Custer (admittedly there are other strong contenders) by the American general public. Had he spent 1/4 the effort he did burnishing his image on actually fighting the war...
  9. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Please note I wrote "In late June 1940 after Dunkirk" So yes, I do

    Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    I think it's a reaction to the narrative that Britain was a naval power with a small army by continental standards. While that is true, it doesn't mean that the loss of the BEF would inherently be a deathblow. As I stated above, it would exacerbate Britain's manpower shortages especially if...
  11. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    I agree - Canada Rolls Royce was 'a bit precious' with regards to sharing its engine plans with other firms let alone other nations - but I could see an extension of the Shadow Scheme resulting in production of airframes earlier in Canada if not also the engine. I cannot reasonably see anyone...

    What are some likely convergences?

    The civilizations of the Americas are nearly always less advanced to Old World civilizations in every timeline involving them, except for a few cases, even when altered domestications are thrown into the mix.
  13. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    I still bet he was killed.

    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    There will be no colonies before China itself has been colonized! Up until around 1000, much of what is today southern Han territory was only barely colonized by the Han and had to be held down with military force. So no, they won't start until their own backyard has been cleared out, and that's...

    You know Dunkirk was in 1940?
  17. Never Stay More Than Three Years: Another Dr Who TL

    1977-1980 John Nettles The Fifth Doctor was highly reminiscent of his first incarnation in term of his mystery and enigmatic persona. Having regenerated and recovered on Gallifrey he became partially reintegrated back into Time Lord Society. Having Romana (Myra Frances) assigned to him by the...

    How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Croatia Biafra and Catalonia and also part of the reason Scotland wants out of the UK.
