  1. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    The Austrians have fundamentally got an army which has seen 30 years of serious underinvestment and been kicked around the map by the French, Italians, Prussians and assorted Balkans for the best part of a century, with which to fight a two- (soon to be three-) front war. A more competent CinC...

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

    i am assuming you aren't looking at Africasia when you say pagan faiths didn't survive. Hinduism, African Animism, Asian Animism, Shintoism, Vajrayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese Traditional Religion, Ethnic Religions......essentially 30% of the world population.

    WI: Şehzade Mustafa's succeeds Suleiman

    If 1566: - Mustafa is 50-51 years old. Not the right age for long campaigns. - His reign will likely be shorter (10-15 years) - He will likely go on a rampage in Hungary to consolidate his European Possesions decisively. - If he is still alive he may go on a war against Venice. Venice was a...
  4. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Agreed. What's the chance that the elites would go along with this ? ... and how will they explain it to the workforce ? What's the most likley reaction when the state starts to sell shares in your factory ? Especially if state officials or (horror of horrors) foreigners (who have all the money)...

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

    Well this means no conquest of Iberia so Pelagius would not found the Kingdom of Asturias so most of european monarchs will not exist
  6. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Actually, let's not discount the Pucraras yet. One was modified in 1982 to test-fire the Mk 13 torpedo of ww2 vintage, but too late to take part in the war. (link) Have them this time be modified in a timely manner, and used in concert with bomb-toting jets, would've made life... interesting...
  7. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Why am I now envisioning Chiang making a comment likening Mac to a cat. “All you have to do is stroke it’s ego once in awhile, let it think it’s in charge, and it’s content.”

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

    Why should we assume Arabia would stay pagan when almost very other pagan faith went extinct?

    Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    I don't know. Chiang was good, but given Mister Corncob Pipe's record in Japan, that tinfoil god with delusions of infallibility could just about dance circles around the usual "politician". MacArthur was actually "deadly" in that game, and those who thought they could use him or manipulate him...

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    This is a simple WI, how will Austria military campaigns go ITL with a more competent leadership, in case you wonder in what time I mean the first Weltkrieg, so maybe no Fieldmarshall Conrad von Hötzendorf would be enough or we need something more. ¿Would Austria destroy Serbia? ¿Bulgaria...

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

    King Kaleb invaded Arabia Felix.........which is Yemen.......which is said to have been excluded from the paragraph in its meaning. Anyways, the Book of Himyars mentions only Najran as a significant christian community in Yemen during this time, with majority of the population remaining Jewish...

  16. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    The idea is something between the Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) spaceplane and an orbital version of the Rockwell X-33 or Boeing's Phantom Express (but I repeat myself). Essentially a cylindrical ~4.5-5m fuselage, delta wings, SSME on the back, RL-10 OMS though probably two and not six. (The...
  17. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Chiang (and his wife) are politically astute enough to make the most out of MacArthurs connections to the GOP in the United States, and in particularly make sure Claire Booth Luce (and Time Inc) focuses attention on the General so that attention is focused on China. His arrogance is not much...
  18. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    I always assumed (being a Slavic Canadian) that the best way to have a "Russian" America was the following: 1) Brits buy Alaska, which quickly becomes part of Canada 2) Canada promotes immigration to the Canadian prairies by Eastern Europeans, except this time there are two major routes (one...
