    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    No. Current. Politics. I think Wilson's legacy stretches a long way. But I cannot discuss that because of NCP. As a man of his era, the people of his era, who knew him IN THAT ERA, despised and hated him for what he did then. I think we are safe to suggest that the 1920s backlash and the...

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    Last I check nobody laughed at Richard III when he did. Though I agree now that Tudor shouldn't use that argument to push his claim. True actually, that is a much better argument!
  4. WI: Edward V married to French princess

    He would NEVER be able to try anything with that. The whole Edward IV was illegitimate so George was the legitimate King would be more useful to to him. Still everyone would laugh in his face if he tried that stunt Guaranteed

And three Do you have a sources for that because I'm pretty sure thos bridges where taken down and that the saver disruption in...

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Re Marshall's civil rights record: while I agree, I doubt he could be worse than Woodrow "segregation is not a detriment but a benefit" Wilson. (Yes our 28th President actually said this). What do you mean by NCP?
  8. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Conquering Arabia, avenging his namesake uncle/brother-in-law, generating heirs with Stateira, continuing the process of integration of his Empire (of which the weddings of Susa were a big part).
  9. WI: Edward V married to French princess

    The entire country will laugh in his face.

    The specifics of the Dreyfus Affair would be tough to replicate with the circumstances of Nap 4’s France so different but there’ll be some similar issues, for sure
  11. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Avoid shock therepy and have the USSR be replaced by social-democratic leaning poltiicians.
  12. Cinco de Mayo

    Thanks! Yes indeed. The Liberals accomplished much under Hartington but they touched the third rail of alt!UK politics in the worst way. I envisioned him as a Moses figure to Chamberlain’s David; the man who led the Liberals out of the Gladstonian wilderness, but it’s Chamberlain who now at...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    If the Byzantines are going to monopolize the Egyptian conquest like it sounds as of now, they wouldn't have much interest in supporting Byzantines efforts beyond the initial conquest. When the Habsburgs did that in the 16th century and the Italian domains passed to the Spanish branch, the...

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

    Malnutrition increased at the same time as that increase in alcohol sales. Guess where the money went? WHO had 20% of men in the Russian Federation dying due to alcohol-related causes, compared with 6.2 percent of all men worldwide at that time There was a problem, and it's still there. In...
  15. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    It couid be a lot harder than it sounds - you're basically trying to turn a Spitfire I (which is what I presume the licence is for) into something between a Spitfire V and a Spitfire IX but with the original Merlin engine of the Spit I. It's not impossible but if you need to move things about...

    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    Essentially you'd get the appearance of autocephaly. That is, the primary archbishop (or equivalent) of a kingdom will get a lot more leeway in the rule over the kingdom's Christianity.

    WI: Edward V married to French princess

    Oh true actually! Especially dangerous if Tudor pulls the Eddie 4 was married before stick, which would leave Margaret as the Yorkist claimant (assuming Warwick dies as otl).
  18. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    What country are looking at buying these licences? The one for the Merlin is fairly easy to do any country with a decent aircraft industry could probably build it but the Spitfire I have my doubts about. It was a very difficult aircraft to produce and was very nearly cancelled because of that...

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    NCP. With that as a given. the LoN option was still iffy. Dixiecrats were not onboard if Wilson croaks. If by a miracle liberal Democrats of 1920 and Progressive Republicans of 1920 can coalesce, there is an even chance Marshall can get something passed. I like Marshall a lot as a progressive...

    WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Ceausescu certainly did not leave the Warsaw pact. He did not participate in the occupation of Czs, though as I said, this was mostly because he knew the USSR could not really afford two occupations (and the hit to its international and inner prestige). As for USSR politicians opposing it, yes...
