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

    After the RCW most of its "growth" was rebuilding (rebuilding is easier than building from scratch) from that WW1 and it was little better off a few years after that than at the before the RCW. Most of the "growth" in the 1930s was at the cost of mass starvation . The period after WW2 was mostly...
  2. July 1917 Kadet Coup against Kerenksy?

    Kerensky's government was full of Kadets. Why would they coup themselves?
  3. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    No, Holodomor happened precisely because Stalin wanted to transform the country and was callous enough to disregard people objections and lives on that matter. So, I ostensibly refuse this kind of argumentation about how 'these deaths happened in a time of great changes' because it literally...

    AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Have to agree with this, @McPherson Identifying the ships you had attacked or sunk was a difficult job for any naval pilot, no matter the nationality. Add the language barrier and we have an even stickier situation.

    The election of 1992 is one of the strangest events in American Political History. It was the closest America had come to a new party system in decades. The Election had three major Candidates. George H. W. Bush (Republican Incumbent): Bush is the Incumbent, who won the ’88 election after...

    Is the Leipzig at near full-crew at this point? Since they can draw some on the prize crews and re-patriated POW's.

    A couple of thoughts, Landing craft construction was primarily on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The coastal shipyards that were producing destroyer escorts and similar craft would need to be retooled before they could produce landing craft. I am not sure that the cancellation of the last...
  8. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    Yes, they would be farmers. And, no, there will undoubtedly not be a Hammerstein II, born 1895, or a Rogers, born 1902, at least in Our Time Line. Musicals may be very different, and the musical Oklahoma! probably will not occur, I was only attempting to demonstrate a difference and that casual...
  9. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    And conversely, huge numbers of ordinance are needed to even have a chance to temporarily knock-out SAMs. Similarly, SAMs often forced aircraft to fly low... and right into AAA kill boxes. Not always. The Vietnamese fairly convincingly made a mockery of the first year of Rolling Thunder, for...
  10. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    The USSR had a higher rate of economic growth than the USA for most of its existence, while the transition to capitalism (which you claim is more efficient) caused real GDP per capita to decrease over 60%. At least in Russia, communism (or state capitalism, whatever you want to call it) was...
  11. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Sorry, but there is no "magic wand" that can transform a country without pain and the USSR was clearly on a downward slope already. "Holodomor" happened largely because Stalin wanted to punish the Ukrainians for rebelling, the increase in deaths after 1990 resulted mainly from the upheaval you...

    How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    One thing to remember is that while the Monroe Doctrine was theoretically an American policy in actual practice is was more a British policy. Because Britain did not want the other European Empires getting reentrenched in the Americas and cutting off their trade again.
  14. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Yes, but I intended the task of the sailors in this scene to be just bringing over the prepared coal sacks to Leipzig, and dump down the scuttles later. Someone will probably count later, but in the time available I don't think they can have brought over more than 50 tons of coal.

    More like an invitation to make proper apologies to the Emperor. As far as the names on the carriers goes, American pilots would more then rarely land on the wrong deck after a strike such were the emotions following combat. And these were men who spoke/read fluent English and had been raised...

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    In that case, the British would seize Alaska and hand it over to Canada before the Russians did a Taiwan. It would be dependent on its neighbor to the east anyway for virtually everything, so why not simplify matters?

  19. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Yeah, my understanding is that the nuclear warhead was to ensure a one-shot kill with the targeting electronics of the day, in the same manner as a nuclear depth charge.

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    IIRC that was not needed IOTL (though, to be sure, there were Belarusians and Poles among the original group of European colonizers, as evidence of their presence can be detected in the speech of the last-remaining Russian speakers in Ninilchik, AK) because the Orthodox Church was already doing...
