    Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    It's easier to creat bomb grade Pu than enrich Uranium to over 85% HEU. But the US was able to make more HEU at Oak Ridge than Pu at Hanford If it was 'easier' overall there would never had been Little Boy, as you can implode HEU, and not 'waste' the multiple Critical Masses worth of HEU to...
  2. How can Roman republic be saved?

    The republic is doomed and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do to save it seems to be a rather common view expressed whenever it comes to Caesar and August’s period of Rome. No matter if they win or lose the republic is always written off. Is that really so? Is there absolutely no reform...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    Yeah, and both love the USA a lot. We gonna add a interaction. Also assuming Geisel takes power, he's a german-brazilian, so he can open communications with a Speerite Germany (not with any other one). This will benefit Brazil a lot since this breaks the one sided economic relations that Brazil...
  4. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    Ooooh now that would be interesting
  5. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    Hmmm interesting
  6. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    That would be really hard to do. Radioactivity was discovered by accident in 1896. If someone is looking for it, which seems likely to happen eventually, it will still be discovered. Uranium was discovered all the way back in 1789 with Thorium following in 1828. So it's going to be very, very...
  7. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    At work. *Raises hand* What if you go a different route? An early investment by Brittain led or inspired by H. G. Wells sees that country build an actual 'To orbit and safe return' rocket? Heck they do it to take the wind, as it were, out of the technical lead the early Zepplins were...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The British Army was actually historically very good at combined operations. The problem with that in WW1 was what they meant by the term. The Artillery is maybe the best example. Nobody in basically any branch of the army, Artillery or otherwise, questioned that Artillery's job was to support...
  9. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    Okay, let´s see: I argue that the capital loss would not be that substantial...which you argue against with the reasoning that the protestan exodus would be far more prevalent than...any financial losses?! Hadn´t we heard that one somewhere before? Ah, yes, there was this dashing locking guy...
  10. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Actually very few reports and no physical evidence due to the nature of the Compass battles. The Italian High Command may be virtually in the dark about Valiants as well.

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

    Nice map Hulkster, but I'm pretty sure that both Maine and Vermont would still vote for Nixon against Humphrey in 1964. With both Strickland and Thatherton being from Texas, I bet the Lone Star State is going to be super close. Oh by the way Guy712, I think you messed up on the popular vote...
  12. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    Good points all, though don't forget part of the problem with agricultural prices wasn't just the end of the Great War but also Prohibition. I'm not sure how far I'll take this TL but I can give one spoiler, there will not be Prohibition in Oklahoma.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    On the question of the provision of spares. Throughout history the military has had a problem with providing spares for the troops sailors, in service. From making sure that there are significant spare boots, clothing, tents, horse equipment, swords, spears, to the more complex items once...
  14. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    According to Air Britain's RAF Aircraft books Austin delivered: 1,029 Battles between October 1938 and October 1940. 300 Hurricanes between February 1941 and October 1942. 620 Stirlings between December 1940 and January 1945. 330 Lancasters between March 1944 and December 1945...
  15. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    I would imagine its from the much better U-boat war and just not needing to rebuild a number of ships means a lot of that material can go to LST'S. Also not having to rebuild a bunch of army groups and naval warships because of lighter losses all over the place and having more ships in general...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I suppose, but it’d be nice to have just for good measure.
  17. A swift Republican victory in the Spanish Civil War?

    The French government wouldn't flee to Spain, but a lot of individual French people would, especially any French army units near the border that don't like the idea of surrendering. I assume that land reform would be the #1 priority, especially after a revolt that would be backed by those huge...

    They had different titles.

    Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    Most of the problem is that it already has large competitors to the south by the time it's created. It's not useful for trade or large-scale commerce in the most well-populated areas like the Med, so it stays a backwater script in the north. It only avoids mixture with and supplantment by Latin...
  20. An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Charles can do whatever he want with his marriage as nobody can force his wedding to NOT be fully legitimate
