    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Don't preach the speech and not follow through. Look at what Marshal promised Indiana voters. Lesson learned? Don't expect much from poltroons. Nobody tried to blow up Wilson.
  2. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    Wait. A few more months down the line, and the British will oh so helpfully divest themselves of much of what they need to successfully take the islands back, and will have no choice but to gratefully accept the status quo. Well either that or they'll come to the Americans begging for help, in...

    Derailed and Rerailed: A story of American Railroading, during the Cold War and Onward.
    Threadmarks: The Union of Latin American Socialist Republics

    The Union of Latin American Socialist Republics What history would record as “La Onda Rojo'' or the Red Wave began in the spring of 1944 as a series of Soviet backed Communist Revolutions ripped across Latin America. In Some countries like Mexico and Honduras it took the form of massive...
  4. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Hanover practised salic law, meaning women couldn't inherit.
  5. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    The way he wanted to go, on the battlefield, instead of wasting away in peace. Nice!! I hope they honor his request and bury his remains with his men.
  6. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Really enjoyed the story, I have a quick question, why didn't the Crown of Hannover go to her eldest child Prince George, as he was the next male heir in the succession and William goes as Regent due to George's age? Many thanks Simon

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

    My commentary is as always, MOO. YMMV and should. Some changes, but not too significant from OTL. This is significant. What it portends is as yet unclear. Midway worries me. !@# !@#$ it, The Fleet Radio Unit has to run for it. There is significant talent and command time in grade there that...
  8. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Damn. I so hoped that Nogai Ahmed would lose, because I really despise this guy (which means, excellent handwriting from the author). I hope soon or later he will found his demise...
  9. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Not sure Belgium could achieve independence here, without the Orleans on the throne, given how instrumental Louis Philippe was to them achieving victory otl.

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

    While I don't question that anti-Semitism and some kind of "solution" would happen under Goering, I question if it would happen to quite the same fanaticism as it did under Hitler. Hitler poured everything he could into the Holocaust, definitely at the detriment of the overall war effort. Would...
  11. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    So, your suggestion is, had not the Nazi's invaded Ukraine, then the Nazi Army woud starve ??? Hard to believe starvation was facing the Nazi forces in 1941... My understanding is that both Stalin and Hitler starved the Ukrainians as a matter of deliberate policy (Stalin to surpress resistance...
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True but the same still applies. In that situation the British hold a strategic location to base reconnaissance operations from to get a good idea of the German defenses. It is also a good location to hold to act as a forward base to begin the eventual attack on the Italo-German position. The...

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

    He can't. Barbarossa is predicated on the army living off the land they conquer. This also misses the Nazi view of history, which Goering has also come to embrace: that history is a zero-sum game, in which you either win and eat, or lose and starve. He did have an objection to going to war in...

  15. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    The Middlesbrough East by-election was held on 7 May 1947. It was won for Labour, with a large majority, by Geoffrey Cooper. (1). Cooper had unsuccessfully contested the Liberal held seat of Middlesbrough West in the 1946 general election. The Electoral Reform Act 1948...
  16. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    The solution is to do nothing. Why? Because the falklands were rapidly moving towards unviability as a 'state' before the invasion the islands population was something like 1500 people, and it was dropping. All the argentinians had to do was wait. For the defense, buy more exocets before the...
  17. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The only area(s) that have the population to sustain a high speed rail system are realistically below. Nothing is sustainable on a national scale unless you really want to run mostly empty trains... Enlarged North East Corridor Chicago-based network California Texas Triangle And of those, I...
  18. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Well, RAC did established settlement in CA, fort Ross, with a purpose to produce food for Alaska but it was too small for the task and, anyway, RAC did not have fleet big enough to upgrade its population. Nappy sending 7,000 Russian POWs to Louisiana is an interesting idea but he came with a...
  19. Wilson dies of a stroke in 1918 President Marshall allows Italy the Treaty of London Territories

    I'm actually a bit skeptical. An Italy that gets what she wants at Versailles will keep being helmed diplomatically by Sonnino - the man who oversaw Italy's successful gambit and growth as one of the three Entente Powers. Not for long, maybe (he died in 1922 OTL), but surely more than enough to...
  20. King Tosti?

    ...chafed a bit even about being second fiddle to his "elder" brother, so one can just imagine how he'd feel at being overshadowed by one of his *juniors*. I wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near him when that was suggested. About the oonly relative he just *might* tolerate would be his...
