  1. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Given where Columbus thought he was headed, I don't think he'd be baffled at all :p

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Fun fact: The Qajar Dynasty was also founded by a eunuch.

    WI: Prussia keeps its Eastern borders of 1795 after the Congress of Vienna

    Yeah, the energies of Prussia being directed north is NOT good news for Denmark.
  4. WI: Royal Canadian Navy Type 42 Destroyer?

    Well with the retirement of Bonaventure, the RCN lost literally any and all capabilities for AAW. That was what the General Purpose Frigate program (modern AAW guided missile frigate w/ rim24 tartar) was for. Granted the GPF never materialized so the Iroquois class were ordered and built...
  5. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    However, the League of Nations recommended banning leaded paint in 1919, so you could get it banned much earlier than it actually was banned (1978).
  6. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    So the Rum get a eunuch sultan.

    God Save These American States

    Yes Vermont keeps rolling sixes on these battles and their tech advantage makes up for it with they don't.

    Malê Rising

    Never too early to voluminously read a Jonathan Edelstein timeline.
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Between Terminator and Rambo: First Blood Part II, I think Hemdale needs to look for a home video distributor. I'd assume that NBC/RKO is looking into it.

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    The first one (946-952) was various Outer Rim systems and gangs feuding with each other until the Republic stepped in. This is where Palpatine first became famous after his victories. The second one (958-963) was the cloning syndicates trying to carve out their own sector of the galaxy and...
  11. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Both of these are true. But it is also true that a horrific man deficit existed for a generation after the war, impacting Soviet gender and family structure, labour markets, and the millions of empty seats at tables. The Soviet elite were masterful at organising social production towards their...

    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    So, the Artemis Discord server had a... spirited debate on the LSAM's propellant.
  13. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Sacramento has a lot of Russian immigrants, though they tend to be Evangelical Protestants rather than Orthodox Christians. Locally, if not in other American cities, what you call "Russian pride" is present to a similar degree as analogous sentiments among Chinese-Americans, or Italian-Americans...
  14. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    While vehicle-launched Strela would be assigned solely to Soviet ground units, Osa did have the task of defense of strategic ground facilities, which would presumably include air and naval bases. Also, I'd expect such critical locations would also get S-125 batteries as well...
  15. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Since he didn't write that in Greek, may we assume he ended up somewhere with reduced Hellenic influence?
  16. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Well the obvious choice for which religion becomes the main competitor to Christianity without Islam would be ... drum roll... Christianity
  17. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    I agree with your first point @John7755 يوحنا , However I wholeheartedly disagree about the Christian expansionism on your second point. Christianity had several advantages other faiths in Europe just didn't have, such as the bishop-layman structure in the catholic church. On top of that people...
  18. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    The U.S. is great at one thing, beyond all other civilized nations. We are TREMENDOUS at the pointless gesture and "let's do something worthless that makes everyone feel better". American politicians also tend to cave at the first sign of suburban mother's being pissed off. That being noted, I...
  19. How can Roman republic be saved?

    One factor I believe is often overlooked by armchair and professional historians alike is the Roman patronage system, which was one of the dominant social and political institutions of the Republic. The patron-client system started as more or less a symbiotic relationship between patricians and...
  20. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    God, Trebizond will have a hard time just fighting the Mongols, but the Karamans are invading them too? The two wars that David has to deal with will be really straining for the new king and Trebizond.
