    Any ideas for people not discounted in the opening post?
  2. Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    Yeah, she gets to live longer
  3. Looking for a Britishscrew Timeline with princes killing princes...

    What Madness Is This? And it's a Britscrew, but it's also a humanityscrew.
  4. In the absence of George Washington who becomes the first US President?

    Well, if there's no Washingtomn then Franklin might accept a seat, though his tenure wd be short. Adams and Jefferson are certainly both possible. But much depends on how many members the Couuncil has, and exactly how they are chosen. I think Hamilton's views would be sees as too "cenralising"...
  5. Soviet low level air defense missiles: too little too late ?

    Think that you have this backwards - Soviet low-alt air defence was numerous and reasonably up-to date technology-wise.
  6. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Could there be more Cossack settlement in Alaska? Perhaps deportations of disobedient groups such as Tatars, Circassians, Poles?
  7. The Forge of Weyland

    Dowding's mission was the air defence of the United Kingdom not allied countries and an assessment had been done of the minimum number of squadrons needed to do that. Fighter Command did not have that number of operational fighter squadrons so he objected to his already inadequate force been...

    More Duranios Screenshots Marco: I wrote up a little something for Schmidt. "The Fuhrer wasted his time Looking for Trinkets in the Desert. His foolishness proved to be his undoing, but cut off one head and two more shall grow in its place. Hail Hydra!" -Red Skull after taking power."...
  10. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    All true. The only obviously valuable item available only off the Alaska coast were firs of the sea otters but they were on a verge of extinction before mid-XIX and RAC was surviving on government’s subsidies. Prior to the mid-XIX (Aigun Treaty, which made the Amur River available as a...
  11. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Before railroads, large scale investment or migration from Russia to America simply isn't feasible. It would be easier to reach the East Coast of America from Russia than it would be to travel thousands of miles across Siberia and then travel by sea to the West Coast. Russia simply has bigger...
  12. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    If "nanny state" is used to mean things like more health-and-safety regulations etc, it's gonna be tricky for right-wingers to explicitly oppose that when they've just finished raising the drinking age to 21. I'd also throw in the War On Drugs and the Meese Commission, but dope and porn are...

    PC: Where Would the Capital of a Hohenstaufen United HRE Be?

    Milan is unlikely as the core of the Empire was Germany. Plus the Hohenstaufens' base of power is within the Stem duchy of Swabia.

    WI: Modern Crimson Skies

    Consider that in the aftermath of a Imperial reign of Trump, Biden would be seen as probably a Coalition builder, and a symbol of the Democratic Republic government prior to Trump. This period would be similar to the Reconstruction period, with Allen West and Ted Cruz leading rebels in Texas.
  19. AHC: Make gyrocopters the primary short- to medium-range travel method for the rich by the late 20th century

    Would the Brodie System (the post-war version modified to mount under the fuselage, crucially) have helped? Apparently after WW2 he worked on trying to get his extreme STOL catapult/arrestor system into civilian applications like the ones we're discussing, but failed mostly due to all of the...
  20. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Oh, she was pretty good in playing the right part with him and Henry lusted a lot over her... He got no dowry, a bad Queen Consort (she always put Spanish interest first) and no male heir. If he had waited for Eleanor he would have been likely happier and with much less troubles Henry VII...
