  1. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    I’d say that is more a response to what happens to his empire, rather than what he does. As for the succession, it is worth considering that his son would be ~43 when Alexander dies in this scenario.

    I would have Godzilla giving his victory roar and walking out of the crater.
  3. How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    IIRC, those attacks were kind of on the border between tactical and strategic, and both sides had it as SOP to respond to strategic strikes with nuclear weapons
  4. AHC: Make Central Power Win WWI With US Join the War

    Well strictly, no, because the Ottomans are not getting Arabia back (but then, they wouldn't really want to anyway) - It's my opinion they would be much more interested in their east, as opposed to their south. Then there is the Pacific possessions, where the CP don't have any leverage over...

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    A potentially crippling blow to the USSR's ability to make war if Soviet counterattacks fail.

    California is able to convince Congress to set the boarders like that, though not without it's statehood being delayed until 1862. While some northerners in congress mistrusted the larger California and wished for edits to it's state-wide area, they were preempted by a disgruntled fire-eater...
  7. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    True enough, but if he proves himself competent he'd be preferable to some old Burgundian
  8. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    I highlighted this particular words because they really show what goes so wrong in discussions like this: Most people just assume that the Russians were a) too stupid or b) too lazy to keep their shares. But that's not what happened. After the collapse of the USSR (and it's big social security...

    Likely marriage candidates for a surviving William, Duke of Gloucester?

    I'm referring to the only child of Queen Anne that made it out of infancy. If he had survived to adulthood, who might he have married?
  11. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    The big question is would that be enough time to secure his Empire and the succession? His ideas of merging the hellenistic and eastern cultures was very unique - and the moment he died any chance of that died with him. The old guard, his generals laid aside their persian wifes that instant...

    Threadmarks: War no more! Part 6: Culture

    ...the poor. As a result, there has been an increase in writers showing socialist values across the nation. Titis Besino, Leon Agusta and Gunawan Hadi* wrote their crafts in literary magazines, attracting mostly urban scholars that can purchase. With all eyes focusing away from war and...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Replying to the posts of pages 120 to 122: @TyranicusMaximus - like an alternate Fourth Crusade? Let's see... counterfactual history should be even more unpredictable than factual history :biggrin: @Coyote_Waits - They will not, for the time being, actually. The fall of Norman Tunisia happens...

  15. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    The composition of the House of Representatives and the Senate after the elections on 7 November 1944 was as follows [after 1942 elections]: House of Representatives: Democratic : 219 [225] Republican : 212 [205] Progressive : 2 [3] American Labor: 1 [1] Famer-Labor: 1 [1]...
  16. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    Because the US didn't have to. Western europe governments stayed mostly loyal to NATO and it wasn't like there weren't back-up plans in case it wouldn't (Operation Gladio was real, after all). If for example France in 1968 would have a full-blown revolution you can be assured that American...
  17. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    I picked that age because that is how long August lived. So let us assume that Alexander avoids poison, illness, dying in combat, or anything else that could kill him until he is 75 years old (that gives him an extra 43 years, so he’ll die around 280 BC). We do not have to assume that he goes on...
  18. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    off topic a bit, but how would you rate the consequences of this happening on August 29th, and Stalingrad basically falling in the following days/weeks?
  19. Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    That's a cooperative. The eastern block was rife with cooperatives like that. What's the point of getting rid of communism only to replace it with communism.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 64: June 1971

    Update for today. The Pentagon Papers are released in June 1971, and Daniel Ellsberg does the same thing ITTL, so I will treat it as materially the same. U.S. ARMY, SOUTH VIETNAMESE HALT NORTH ADVANCE AT DA NANG New York Times, June 5, 1971 American and South Vietnamese forces stalled the...
