  1. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    To add, women also can’t transmit their claim, so succession must go through an unbroken chain of men
  2. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    I agree with most of your points. As I said after all, it is not a very possible scenario, as it would take many lucky breaks and a large degree of hindsight from both sides for it to materialise. I mentioned it as a not so implausible way (potentially) for Russia to secure the funds needed for...
  3. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Having the USA in the LN only works if US administrations are willing to give the League some muscle to go with it's good intentions. If the US joins, but then has a range of positions with just two crisis response modes, the first being "Shit happens" and the second being "You must have took me...
  4. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I don’t know why I just thought of this but what exactly is the political situation in the North? Even with the British being unifying opponent, there would still be a fairly strong “Copperhead” opposition who point to the Sieges of Ticonderoga and Washington, the defeat in the Great Lakes and...
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I'd say Cruise was considered for Cocktail and is still in Rain Man, his dramatic breakout. And yes, that's exactly the crossover theory. It was called Yutani Tower in the original script from the '60s, so it seemed like a fun crossover bait. Stay tuned. 📺 They screened it at the theater on...
  6. Cinco de Mayo

    Paul Brown once said "You can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat." He was talking about football but the lesson was proven right by the CSA pre-Cuba and by Germany here. Difference between the two is that Germany is rich and organized enough to pivot on the fly and modernize while...
  7. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Florida suddenly catches my eye. I would have never imagined that sort of population density. What are land prices like down there? I could imagine (for want of a better description) a high speed tram shuttling people between different tourist attractions in the say way a tram might link towns...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 12 February 1941. Benghazi, Libya.

    12 February 1941. Benghazi, Libya. Gunner Robert Bryant of 8th Battery, Australian 2/3 Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, tried to take in his new surroundings but was dog tired. The battery had travelled by train to Marsa Matruh, then on board a ship to Tobruk, where they’d arrived on 6 February...

    The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline

    Probably would have been a better idea to just send me a PM - necroing tends to bring down a lot of angry people. That said, thank you so much for the compliment, I am really happy to see that even now people are still finding my first TL and enjoying the work I put in. To answer your question...
  10. Some questions about Nazi-Soviet relations.

    In a short sentence, Hitler was not happy with the prospect of a Soviet sphere of influence in Europe, especially one that infringed on his territorial ambitions. But, if you want a more detailed explanation, this is my reply to a question from 2020: Molotov visited Berlin from November 12-14...

    What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    You are, of course, correct. My apologies to the forum for my lapse into playing the man, not the ball. As one of those British military officers worrying about the war (on a low level, but I am well acquainted with those who were much more senior than I was), I can state with some confidence...
  12. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Seriously - two Armoured cruisers verses 2 of the very ships designed to kill Armoured cruisers (plus 3 older Armoured cruisers as well plus other ships) Had he done so then he simply would have died earlier and saved no one. At least by running he gave his ships a fighting chance of getting...

    The Dead Live: A Hundred Years' War Timeline

    I know this thread's 3 years old now but honestly this is probably the most impressive timeline I've read on this site, so rich in information the amount of research that must have gone into each and every detail is staggering. Shame we never got a map at the end but even without one just WOW...
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    To add to this I imagine that when sufficent planes arrive the RAF will also probably start running recon sorties as well to watch the flanks as well.
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    They probably do not want to do this until there is a stronger force in place to defend these dumps otherwise it's just helping the enemy with his "Rommel logistics".

    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Yeah, guys... I appreciate all the comments, but my initial question was purely about religious side of things. Maybe I didn't make it clear in my initial post? What I'm interested in is how the Byzantines being more involved with Latin Europe, and controling Rome itself would affect...
  17. Some questions about Nazi-Soviet relations.

    Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am somewhat ignorant on the subject of WW2 and in my search for more knowledge, I read that the Soviet Union was willing to join the Axis and declare war on the British, now, why did the Germans not accept this? it does not make sense with the resources...
  18. AHC: Roman Canaries

    And also highly likely to be attacked and murdered by the local Canarians since they wouldn't want that many people on their land like that. A smaller island in the chain would work but the land there was pretty terrible and IIRC by the 14th century at least (probably earlier) they were...
