    Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    Didn't book Cuba have a gentlemen's Agreement with the US that allowed US ships to transit south of Cuba without being attacked as long as they went at night so that the Cubans could truthfully claim that they hadn't seen anything?

  5. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Here in Australia, there's one state/territory (the ACT) where marijuana already been decriminalised, with two personal plants and 50 grams of dried cannabis per person being allowed now. It's not terribly surprising, since the ACT pretty much consists only of the city of Canberra, but the rest...

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Technically speaking Edith never made any policy decisions, she only determined things like who should be able to visit Wilson and what documents he should see, etc. That would be considered an informal Chief of Staff, not the "first female President" as she is often hyped up to be.

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

    If you mean the American Caesar would try to do to Chiang what Stillwell tried, I agree. Mister Corncob Pipe was generally disrespectful of his own civilian command authorities and failed to respect the chain of responsibility. He would try to usurp Chiang kai Shek. That is why I wondered if he...

    Some questions about Nazi-Soviet relations.

    Forgot to address this. Hitler was willing to consider a negotiated peace at multiple times during the war. One must of course remember however that he would intend such a peace as purely temporary and self-serving until Germany could restart offensive operations again. This is because he...

  15. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    I appreciate having a contrarian viewpoint here. Of course, most threads on Alex are going to be exercises in map painting, while I was more interested in just exploring him as a person. I do think, however, that he could keep some momentum going simply by virtue of swapping out for fresh...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    It gladdens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a feast. Soon you will be drinking ale from curved horns. The Valkyries summon you home. I hope they sent him off with a grand funeral.
