    Economic effects of less Spanish colonization of the Americas?

    That does sound better. Less war and more trade does sound like it would be an improvement. I wonder if Spain does not get the silver in South America who does and what do they do with it.

    To be fair this is what the human page looks like: EDIT: As for why they live in the wild, maybe they prefer a more reclusive lifestyle than can be got in the cities.
  3. How strong was the RAF and French Airforce in the Spring of 1939?

    Britain and France expected or at least feared a Nazi invasion of Poland once the Nazis broke the Munich agreement and destroy Czechoslovakia. Could they have attacked all Nazi bases within say a hundred miles of the French border?

    in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    I could see making the age for joining the military be 21 or even later but I'd scrap any drinking/smoking age for sure. Same with ages for selling pot/booze/tobacco to people ofc. This thread remidns me of the reasons why if I ever won the lottery I'd bail out of the anglosphere permanently.
  5. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    My point still stands in that regards. Since the black population here did raise up and quite successfully. There will be retribution against the white population which is going to drive to them to support the junta. Whites are in a position comparable to that of the Alawites of Syria where the...

    One thing I don't understand about the leprechaun and elf posts is how you list them as endangered despite them being sentient and able to speak human languages and practice human customs. Wouldn't leprechauns and elves live in human societies and work alongside them as relative equals? Why...
  7. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    It's not just shifting the forces. They also need to be brought back upto strenght. They had losses in the French campaign, due to battle and wear and tear. And anyway they're going to start Barbarossa with a lot less tanks. Also with less trucks, because the French trucks they used OTL won't be...
  8. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I also forgot to add, no closing of the monasteries, even though it's certain Wolsey, or someone else, will clean up the more lax orders, on moral grounds if nothing else. Since there's no mass closings of the monasteries, there's no Pilgrimage of Grace either...
  9. WI no Deluge in Poland

    You probably could get many reforms, if you didn't try getting a hereditiary monarchy (or election vivente rege)

    Easy. Avoid both carter and reagan if you want this to happen.
  11. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    In March 1884 Megan Griffiths was 27 years old (born 11 February 1857), and living in Swansea with her lover, Esther Jenkins. Megan was a teacher at Hafod Copperworks School in Swansea. Esther was 28 years old (born 8 October 1855). She was a library assistant in Swansea public...

    I hope I'm not too late for St. Patrick's Day. Here's a creature that is often associated with the holiday. It is short in stature, often wears green clothes, usually has red hair, lives in Ireland and likes gold. Introducing, the Leprechaun! Cryptids, fictional animals and fearsome critters as...
  13. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Correct, the missiles forced the Nato planes to come down into the effective envlope of the ZSU-23-4 / Strela's and Gaskins.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    It’s nothing to do with Henry personally. Charles just can’t afford to start shit with his half-nephew who could very easily overrun his territories.
  15. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Yes. Pre-Great Matter, Henry was one of the most prestigious monarchs in Europe. He kept a glittering court, that was also filled with people like Erasmus, fostering a cultural renaissance of his very own.
  16. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    A Russia hemmed in to the west by Lithuania or a Ukrainian state is not likely to have the resources for that kind of colonization. We western territories were the most productive and most populated in the empire. That state is going to be spending way more resources trying not to be swallowed...
  17. What are some likely convergences?

    Migrations of steppe people's out of the Eurasian steppe seems to be a fairly regular occurrence
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    He hasn't written that letter in this timeline - or at least, not yet! So far things look serious, but not yet the disaster that made him write it
  19. WI no Deluge in Poland

    Well, Wikipedia says the Deluge ended in 1660. Here it'll be much shorter (since the Swedes and Prussians will be dealt with in 1656), the Transylvanians won't get involved, and the PLC probably won't lose any territory. But yeah, it's a milder Deluge, not an averted one. Still, I wonder if the...
