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

    Which was based largely on Soviet or CIA statistics which was almost as bad due to the fact it was in both countries interest to exaggerate its wealth. The Soviets for bragging rights , the CIA for its budget. Soviet manufactured goods were valued by the CIA on how much it would cost for us to...
  2. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    ...that they went straight from fudalism to communism witout ever going through capitalism) Turning this around would defeat even a Marshall Plan** (the funds would just disappear into the pockets of the State Officials and their friends, or 'oligarchs' as they are now called) ... Everyone hears...
  3. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    ...the capital of the state is probably on Volga (as a capital of the GH) with a lot of the geopolitical entanglements on the West and South (*) which would make the regional history substantially different from OTL and probably keep this state being predominantly focused in these directions...
  4. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    They were still exporting food during the middle of a famine largely brought on by Stalin stealing from the peasantry. Stalin's "genius" resulted in the following problems for the USSR during WW2: Purging the Army (causing it to be commanded by newbies without a clue in the early period)...
  5. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    There could be significant differences to how Christianity develops without Islam. At this point in the north of Europe the nobility have largely converted to get the myriad benefits of an association with the Church but the common folk are still largely pagan or pseudo-pagans. We will probably...
  6. What do Ottomans do in Persia, Arabia and Egypt if the UK is defeated/wounded by USA?

    1890 to 1914, surely? After 1914, the Ottomans are on the way out and to assume the TL stays the same until August 1914 would imply the Ottomans are in the same dire straights they were in OTL too. It also assumes that US-UK relations are the same until ‘14, so a Anglo-American War is pretty...

    I really would want to see this one.
  9. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    Yes and I made that point, but as I said in the rest of my post that you didn't quote the Germans were getting worse partly due to combat fatigue while the Soviets were getting better. Your plan will have the German attack with less preparedness which means their combat effectiveness will...
  10. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Leipzig's full crew, when they left San Francisco on the 18th, was 301 officers and men. They sent 70 as a prize crew on Niagara, and later on the eve of the 20th, transferred 52 to Nürnberg's prizes Bengrove and Desalba. They suffered 6 killed and 5 wounded in the battle with Algerine in...
  11. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    alternativly the french revolution brakes out in france napoleons get's in power demands (french) Lousiana back from spain. However ATL the revolution also brakes out in Russia. Napoleon allows Russia to buy (french) Lousiana (at a higher cost then to the americans OTL) and the Russian goverment...
  12. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Routing convoys further north was a trade between weather damage for U-boat avoidance. Earlier defeats of the U-boat allows for convoys to route towards better weather earlier which lowers weather damage repair needs. Brooklyn Navy had a string of LSTs OTL, Norfolk Navy had a string of OTL...

    Absolutely loved the chapter! I’m sad that henrh had to abandon the title king of France but at least he stays on the throne, one small thing, Anne’s husband was duke of Cumberland not Gloucester,

  15. Wilson dies of a stroke in 1918 President Marshall allows Italy the Treaty of London Territories

    True enough, Wilson was an arrogant, racist SOB who had not a clue about diplomacy.
  16. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    These weren't from the Soviet government though, the third source I linked is literally from the UN. Also, the fact that they were able to compete globally with the USA shows that their economic output must have been at least on the same order of magnitude as America's, seeing as the reason...
  17. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    There are few things about that: Firstly, foreign grain sales were actually stopped after the scale of disaster was discovered by the central authorities. USSR exported around 5.7 million tons of grain in 1931 out of 22 million tons produced in USSR in total, 7.5 million of which were...
