    Qbam Geographic Maps Thread

    Didn't know lake Van was an endorheic basin. Otherwise cool map! (Why are you this allergic to borders?

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    OP, remember Hitler is not just fighting any regular war, with regular objectives about territorial expansion. I feel like if we had more clarity on this point across the board a lot of the Axis WW2 threads would be greatly simplified, since there is a lot of confusion around the terminology of...
  3. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    If European (Celtic, Germanic, Baltic, Slavic, and Finnic) paganism survives, it could compete with Christianity in Southern Europe, creating a North-South divide in Europe.
  4. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Ask Tibet just how far Deng's regime loosened the reins (or Macao, Hong Kong, or Taiwan for that matter).

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Yeah, we are talking about a guy who died 97 years ago. This is far from current politics.
  6. Likely marriage candidates for a surviving William, Duke of Gloucester?

    It would be the logical way of handling it, but I doubt that any party would agree to it honestly
  7. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    ...against it that NATO had political constraints on it that made them more cautious then usual doesn't really affect the bridge example in particular*, but for the conflict in general it ignores that the Serbs also were being far more cautious then the Soviets would have been due to the fact...
  8. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Another issue is that shock therapy did not work at all. Better economic policy as previously claimed would be a better idea. Could someone who was better than Yeltsin have helped? Yeltsin seemed to have no idea of how to run a country early on, spoiling valuable time to solve Russia's economic...

    WI: Root vs Wilson in 1912

    In that case, might we see a Hughes v Wilson race four years early?
  10. No 1953 Iranian coup

    We can't forget the people though. Plus, there's also the context. If it was an internal coup, then there wouldn't be the big issues with the West. Though it also depends on the popularity of the monarchy and so on. Would people be happy of Mossadegh being overthrown and the Shah establishing...
  11. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    All the sources I could find was Christianity was more prevent in the North and East.

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Eh, I know it's not a very realistic scenario, I was just spitballing some ideas. I also assumed that the royals had already fled through Siberia and had enough time to prepare at least rudimentary boats for a crossing. It would be more realistic if they fled to Western Europe, but I assumed...
  13. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Dude, are you ignorant or trying to be offensive? Each Russian citizen received precisely one so called 'vaucher'. Do you know what was a market price for it around 1993-94? ~4 thousand rubles. Do you know what you can buy for 4 thousand rubles in Russia back then? One pack of American...
  14. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    I'm not sure who is disagreeing with your evaluation of Imperial Headquarters being over populated with idiots. If anything I think idiots is too kind of a term since it implies that they lacked the intellectual ability to evaluate what was being presented to them. That was clearly not the case...
  15. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    I watched a few of the IHL Aeros' games, but it wasn't the same. My (admittedly secondhand) understanding was that the lease contract which the Rockets and NBA demanded for the Toyota Center was so restrictive that it basically required an NHL team to build its own arena, that or else bribe the...
  16. Rise of Ultralight helicopters

    Action Man Helicopter from the 70's complete with rotor tip jets and rockets. Pretty close to that Hiller mini chopper.
  17. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Right and arguably, Judaism had a greater presence in Arabia than Christianity outside of the northern fringes. Islamic accounts even mention how Christian priests and individuals had difficulty dealing with pagan tribal confederates and villagers, the implication that there needed to be a true...
  18. Hatsunese Space Program - HASDA (alternate Japan) | 1976-07-23 | Final Utahime mission, Venus orbiter, 2nd lunar lander probe

    ... Is this Vocaloid/KSP crossover alternate history fanfiction?????????? Now I've seen it all.
