  1. A swift Republican victory in the Spanish Civil War?

    Roughly mid-France but if the situation in Spain made the French government more eager to withdraw there early on, then the baroud d'honneur at the Somme doesn't happen and the French army goes on a fighting retreat instead of disintegrating or there is no disintegration to Pétain's call on June...
  2. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    I think that along with industrial limitations the problem was that they had world class engines in the early and mid 30's and got complacent. The result was that when war came they were stuck with engines a generation behind the state of the art.
  3. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    And the Germans were sending 70 year old men and 12 year old boys out to hunt tanks with panzerfausts that they could barely manage lift in 1945. The Soviets, on the other hand, despite taking utterly insane losses for the "honor" of taking Berlin (best estimates are 75,000 KIA, 300,000 WIA)...
  4. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    As this post appears to have taken discussion WAY off the rails I will take ownership of that and attempt to clarify my thought. 1. General Industrial Capacity: At this point UK home industries are at full capacity, especially in terms of manpower. And any spare capacity that does exist...

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

    The Prince is a 16th Century book based on the Italian Wars, the political events and circumstances described in it hardly apply to the Eastern Empire. Local resistance? They couldn't because the idiot aristocrats depopulated large parts of the interior decades earlier in an attempt to force...

    DBWI: France Antartique Not Successful?

    If France was unable to hold the colony, how would the further loss of Louisiana impact them? Would King Louis XVI have a harder reign than otl?

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    My favorite Doctor is David Tennant who I plan on keeping in his spot(He's got Ten in his name for god's sake). Christopher Eccleston will probably be replaced since he was afraid of getting type cast in the role and is ambivalent towards it now. Plus to give actors who were almost cast or...

    Wi: Ukraine if Russia collapses

    One thing that I think would be important for this long term is no increase in oil prices. Perhaps al gore wins the election and removes all oil subsidies and massively invests in Green technology, spurring green investment around the world and in Europe, diminishing demand for oil and no...
  9. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    But the MK1 uranium bomb used over ten times as much fissionable material than the MK3 plutonium design. Hence Oppenheimer's suggestion, post-Trinity, to scrap the sole MK1 bomb and build a MK3 variant with either a HEU or composite core from the material (about ten additional weapons). This was...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    There are probably a few since it's unlikely none would happen. Though I'm uncertain as to which.Some like the Munich Massacre don't happen(the German Government had a warning it would happen but ignored it. So them playing attention to it is a slight difference).
  11. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    A dumb little ASB thing. FDR picks the outspokenly left-liberal Reagan as his running mate in 1944, and Reagan assumes office upon his death. Governing strongly to the left of Truman (conceding to the post-war strikes, pushing for international nuclear control, vocally backing civil rights)...

    Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    I suppose, but still, he definitely didn’t help, especially in death!
  13. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    So pretty much how he was treated by them OTL then?
  14. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    Looking back in this thread, I discovered that 1964 was a contingent election which went to Congress. The House of Representatives voted for Nelson Rockefeller for president. The Semate voted for John Burroughs (Social Democrat) for vice-president. (1) At the Social Democrat...

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

    Same thing, Henry VIII is known for marrying just so he can go to the chamber.
  16. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    It might also have been to spite his father, who had been negotiating to marry Henry off to Eleanor of Austria up to his death...

    Threadmarks: The Eaglet Takes Flight: The Reign of Napoleon IV 1874-1905

    "...the government's next body blow came with the revelation of the Panama scandal, of the vast fraud perpetrated on investors and the bribes doled out by the Canal Company and de Lesseps to grease the wheels for the stock issue of the now-bankrupt concern. The partially-dug canal in Colombia...

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Crowns and scepter instead of sword are a yes. I read that the flag I posted was planned to become the national flag of the Russian Empire after the war (in OTL, Revolution stopped that from happening). I am thinking of the Russian Empire continuing but losing Poland (which would be the 2nd...
  19. How long and could it take for the Byzantine (Roman) Empire to industrialize?

    Things one needs for industrialization : Have merchants not be shunned as the lowest in the social ladder and have them have some political power . Have slavery or serfdom die off or be in decline , have scientific method and other certain advancements , have capitalism devolp. have wages be...
  20. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Okay, so the other elements are important - like you want the crowns over the eagles, you want the scepter instead of the sword?
