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

    it should be remembered that the Dutch East Indies Air Force had Royal Netherlands Indies Army (KNIL) 83 Glen Martin B10 bombers 71 Brewster Buffalo F2A Fighters 17 Curtis Wright W21 Fighters 13 Curtis 75A Fighters 40 Various recon and trainers and were wiped out just like everyone else... sad...
  2. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    Because the changes in the United States are so large that things like people being born the same subsequently to said change is unlikely. And, as time goes on, the changes grow bigger and the unlikelyhood of people from OTL being born the same way and being the same people becomes greater and...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    :p I guess that's possible... I did consider having him shoot himself at one point... figured it would be more fitting that he have a death on the battlefield. ;) And seeing as I didn't put the text of his prayer in the TL, there's nothing saying this isn't what happened! A good thing that...

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    There is even an OTL precedent for that in the short-lived Batavian Republic and how Belgium is named after an ancient Gallic tribe.
  5. What if Rome sends a Navy to conquer India

    Insane. At the very most the Romans went south as the Farasan Islands off the coast of Southern Saudi Arabia. That in itself was abandoned later on. To assume a navy could do anything is absurd, they probably couldn't even sail that far south without there being a major incident with the...

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Milwaukee Road and Chicago NorthWestern competed on the Chicago-Twin Cities run, and got 60 mph average(120mph on the straight), with stops, and Steam Engines. Only thing high tech, as it was, CTC controls. Otherwise, this was before automatic crossing gates, that just started to come into use...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    But what if a child accidentally trips on one of these nuclear mines?
  8. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Which everyone in the area uses instead of maybe a couple hundred or so.
  9. Map Thread XX

    patently untrue. The canary islands were populated for at least 3,000 years by the "Guanche" Berbers, who were assimilated by Spain during the latter's colonization. You've probably mixed it up with the Azores, which are more isolated in the Atlantic and thus didn't have a native population...
  10. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Well, this has been fun, but it's late and I've got to work in the morning.
  11. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Better then dying from complications due to a car wreck at least. Still though yeah this just doesn't feel right for Patton's death in this story. Hell a dying peacefully in his sleep feels like a better choice then this.
  12. Make Afghanistan Prosperous

    Yes, if Afghanistan looks bad now...well let's gust hope it doesn't become the Congo of Central asia.
  13. What if Rome sends a Navy to conquer India

    While the Roman Navy's competence is a bit of a joke meme, waging a naval campaign thousands of miles from supply lines is almost guaranteed to fail quickly. Assuming they actually get boots on the ground, Roman Naval Infantry and sailors were quite looked down upon by the rest of the military...
  14. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    This pretty much sums up objections to HSR in the US, but it fundamentally misunderstands the role/niche of HSR as well as what constitutes HSR. The niche of HSR is city pairs of 1 million 200-500 mile apart with intermediate cities of 100k ~100 miles apart. The US has plenty of these, and with...
  15. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Awful lot of federal tax dollars went into building and maintaining the interstate highway system across the great plains over the years. Just sayin'
  16. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    What your not taking into account is it takes time for human beings to absorb events. On June 12 the OKH was still actively planning operations in France. They were also suddenly faced with the problem, or opportunity, depending on you thinking about how to force the UK out of the war. Your...

    Map Thread XX

    Western australia might actually be the more habitable of the bunch, if the Gulf Stream still works in this configuration (cold water from the North means fresher coast and more rainfall)
  18. Boris Yeltsin Captured during the 1991 Soviet coup attempt

    Say Boris Yeltsin is captured during the 1991 soviet coup attempt Without a leader for the opposition to rally around could the August Coup be successful
  19. The Empire Parnell Built

    Rough times indeed, the only country in Europe outside Britian that seems to be doing ok is Danubia. Everywhere else seems to be varying levels of poor to failed state so far.
