    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    If they get caught up in a drive to settle and colonize, they'll stick to the West Coast. There is no incentive to going east across the Rockies. With regards to Mesoamerica, though, things may get interesting if the Chinese make it to America before the Europeans do...

    The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    I love it! I mean, I'm going to have to go back and read it several times to work out exactly who's related to who - some family trees would be helpful, if you can manage them - but that's Parr for the course for your chapters (yes I spotted that pun in the notes) so I'm not complaining. Always...
  3. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    This happened OTL, and they realised soon the nazi's were a lot worse than Stalin. Even with Hitler dead, that won't change much.

    Are there any good Alternate History Games on Steam?

    By World In Flames do you meant World in Conflict, or is there a different game? I enjoyed World In Conflict, it's a nice game.

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

    Don't see any Soviet leader making peace with the Nazis at all, that would get them deposed almost immediately.

    Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    The Russian Empire's economy absolutely was within an order of magnitude of the contemporary USA's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(PPP)#1%E2%80%932008_(Maddison) edit: and the former USSR doesn't include Finland and Congress Poland (which were two of the richest...
  7. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Interesting story that has been written. Is it likely that Germany will be defeated earlier OTL? Japanese internment is still likely to happen right?
  8. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Which wouldn't have happened if he kept taxes reasonable in the first place. If the government is going to steal it all anyway you might as well destroy it. My guess is that he would have simply stolen everything they didn't destroy and sold it abroad.
  9. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Absolutely. IMO making contact with the Aztecs or another state society (either Mesoamerican or Andean) on the first voyage to the Americas is the best way to ensure that the Chinese send subsequent voyages to the Americas.
  10. The Last Hanover: The Life and Reign of Queen Charlotte

    Another wonderful chapter as always. I have a feeling some ATL equivalent of this board will have a rocking King Conroy timeline. I have to wonder how all of this is playing with Drina. You know news of Conroy’s exploits reached London (if not because of the man himself the because Lolly is...
  11. The Concert of Earth: A Multi-Polar 20th Century

    Bri'ish did what can be described as a "bruv moment". The reasoning was somewhat solid, but the execution was very much flawed and they made some horrible assumptions. It would likely have worked with some European nations or others, but the USA are the type to be insulted by things like this...
  12. Map Thread XX

    The republic of Avary is a multi-ethnic country in central Europe laying on the western and northern parts of the Carpathian mountains. The country is bordered clockwisely by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Bavaria to the west and Prussia to the northwest. Avary...

    Threadmarks: 1973 Abroad

    Plenty of interesting events happened in 1973, but the one that is best remembered is the Yom Kippur War. This war, fought between Israel and a coalition of Syria and Egypt, was just one of a series of wars fought between Israel and her neighbors. Like most conflicts, this was a mirror of the...
  14. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    Without Stalin the Soviet Uniion will likley collapse under the pressure of the Nazi invasion, especially if there is no 'ethnic cleansing'. Stalin's all too frequent 'purges' woud likley mean half the Red Army will desert. I can see the Poles, Ukrainians, Fins, Romanians, Bulgarians, Blatic...
  15. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    You do realize this is literally the argument Stalin apologists use to pretend he was completely uninvolved with the famine, right? If people are destroying food in the middle of a famine, they should be the ones who suffer the consequences, not random workers in the cities. If you light all the...
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Does the oasis garrison need to hold against any and all comers or does it succeed in its primary mission by screaming like hell that there is a flanking force out here while holding contact during a bounding retreat when faced with a notably superior force? I think the later is all that is...
  17. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    I believe you need to look at more than just the total number of aircraft lost. The loss rate per sortie is probably worth looking at. I suspect NATO would have been ecstatic and the Soviets would have been very unhappy if the NATO loss rate in a notional WW3 was similar to that suffered by...
  18. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    There were centers of worship and the like, but in many Bedouin Jewish communities and groups, the religion was likely a rural folkway and thus not centralized and attached to centers for worship.
