  1. Explain the AH Quote

    Russian Tzar Ivan XI upon hearing of Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to the Heavenly Throne of Japan. Bonaparte, a former French adventurer turned military officer, had previously married the Japanese emperor's only daughter. When most of the imperial family died in a terrorist attack by the Hand of...

    Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    An "aggressive pursuit of the Mediterranean strategy " still does nothing to augment the abysmal supply situation. Lybia's ports aren't going to be enhanced by Dunkirk going badly or Gibraltar falling. I could see such a situation actually aiding the western desert campaign. After a failure at...
  3. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Hmm, very few good picks for the Democrats. While an Aaron Sorkin presidency could be interesting, I’d imagine he’d have the exact same problem as Grammer did of appearing too intellectual and distant. Lisa Simpson becoming president is also fun but I think Backing Bob is the best choice this...

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

    This I like. A Qin-era fleet would either land in the Kuroshio Current of the North Pacific Gyre or use the Equatorial Countercurrent. If they use the ECC, they end up in Mexico. They also discover the as-yet uninhabited Hawaian Archipelago. If they use the NGG, they end up either in northern...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Yep, I was referring to the first/original version of Buzdygan 2.B.
  6. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    She was held under arrest by her brother, not her husband. And I don't know at all what "serious military backing" you are talking about. Even the people from Agen (she was countess of Agen) revolted against her and sided with her brother. I fail to see who could ever support her claim and why...
  7. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Romania then with the Spitfire as an alternative to, or partner of their own I.A.R. 80? Britain doesn't want Hitler to get all that oil.

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

    Goering had numerous Jewish friends and there were many who believed he wasn't as fanatical when it came to Hitler's anti-Semitism except to enrich himself. There are also historians who believe the failure to win on the Eastern Front was the impetus that brought about the Final Solution, Hitler...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Honestly, keep Conrad, there was sadly no one better who could realistically** be promoted into the role, and Conrad did have a handful of useful traits.* Best option would be to murder Oskar Potiorek, who attacked Serbia when he wasn't supposed to and did so with an army that was meant to be...
  10. The German Century

    Eastern Europe, Finland and Scandinavia surely will join when Stalin gets his Red Army to move. Intresting to see what is non-Nazi Hitler's politics. Actually should had guess that Hitler will has important role on TTL.
  11. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    The Ottoman Empire was part of the Berlin Conference, and the EU only denies them admission due to human rights record.
  12. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    If Princess Diana survives, who’s the recipient of Elton John’s tribute TTL? OTL it was Diana herself.
  13. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Assume a no halt order on May 24 1940 and a disaster of epic proportions,. Guderian captures Dunkirk on May 25 and Gort surrenders all his men in Flanders on May 28. Germany advances Fall Rot a few days forward to June 1. Mussolini smells blood in the water and declares war on France and...
  14. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Fingers crossed my granddad (1st Bn South Lancashire Regiment were part of the first wave onto Sword) makes it off ok. A hell of a lot of his mates didn't IOTL.
  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Wow spoiling the end of Wrath of Khan? What a dick move.
  16. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Turkey wasn't part of either of those things, you'll note.
  17. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    I am sceptical about this claim I mean firstly why would the Cuban army have a well equipped 'Siberian trained' reinforced Infantry Brigade in the first place? Secondly would they have the ability to move such a body of men in the time frame necessary - I note the quote claims in a week but...
  18. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    That seems like the logical thing to do but when it comes to the Russians they have an historical tendency not to do what is in the nation's best interest. Until Molotov or whoever assumes power there would be some confusion at a very inopportune time. One of the Soviet Union's greatest...
  19. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Wasn't there some Moroccan leader who took parts of sub-Saharan Africa around 1600? If that was able to actually stick and they got colonies in the New World, they'd have access to many slaves to work in plantations, mines, ect. in both the Old and New World, which would help their economic...
  20. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    It would be incredibly unstable. You not only have tons of slaves, but also tons of poor whites who have trouble getting jobs due to cheap slave labor. Slavery won't last past the early 1900s at the latest, with the end coming via either the CSA being invaded by the USA, internal revolution, or...
