  1. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Thanks. So the Southern France invasion gets 1-2 airborne brigades or are they just not going to use airborne at all?

    Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    Though having some LEU makes reactors far more efficient than just using natural U-238 with a tiny bit of U-235 in it.

    How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    One rather dark possibility is that slaves won’t be used as widely in factories as poor whites not because it’s not profitable, but because it’s too dangerous. Slaves represented a major investment by their owners, worth three BILLION dollars. That sounds like a lot. But it’s actually much...

    Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    True, all he did was unite both claims to England via Princess Margaret.
  5. Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    Exactly. Although he carried claims to the Scottish and English thrones, his personality and his power-hungry mother diminished his value as an asset.

    The 101 is a light infantry division ITTL.

    The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    Well, I think that could be another and traditional option open to protect the British interests against the perceived Russian menace while avoiding a direct military intervention... They could become in the financial backers of the Franco-Austrian alliance.
  8. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Interesting, was the 82nd the only airborne division formed or did they send the 101st to the Southern France invasion?
  9. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    As far as I know Guinea was only aligned with the Chinese in the late 1950s and early 1960s, thereafter they switched between aligning themselves with the USSR or the USA depending on who they thought might give them more support or be less protesting about their mode of governance. Re Congo...
  10. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Maybe later Thomas Wyatt can compose a poem..?

    Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    Assuming that Anglo-Saxon presence is extinguished or severely limited, I see post-Roman Britain having a situation somewhat analogous to Dalmatia linguistically. The cities would remain Latin isolates in a predominately Brythonic environment. The Romanized British leadership would have a close...
  12. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    The same was true of Sweden or Japan; both of them obviously had the technical chops to build a bomb (and in the former case apparently build most of a bomb), but for domestic political reasons chose not to build a bomb. Both of them also invested heavily at different points in nuclear power...

    The Eagle of the East, Rhomania: An Eastern Roman Timeline (1196 - 1245)

    There is no point in going north or west for Rhomania as all the wealth in the world is coming from the east. Sure the west will naturally become wealthy over time but they need time to build up those infrastructures to even have the chance of catching up. Rome holding on egypt and a sizable...
  14. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    Certainly the Mandarins of Whitehall (who knew better than any elected government what was best for Britain) tried to sell them out as well as efforts such as Nicholas Ridleys efforts to convince the Falkland Islanders to accept a 99 year leaseback deal in 1980 (which satisfied no one and left...

    Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    So in a world without nuclear weapons, but where Plutonium power reactors exist, Implosion may not be known, and therefore useless in Gun type weapons. Of the Israelis, Indians, Pakistanis and South Africans, the first three used Plutonium implosion for their bombs, from reactors. That leads...

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    Great work, great design and top backstory! More I say good Sir!!!
  17. Maghreb state invades France

    With any pod after 1200, have a Muslim state that is based in or controls the Maghreb invade and occupy France (at least up to Paris). It could be a permenant colonization effort, or just a temporary occupation. Either is fine.
  18. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    So the Germans are able to go straight from a quicker victory in France to invading Russia? Without the Russians noticing they’re moving everything straight across Germany and Poland to the border, in fighting order, without reorganising, without resupplying and without pausing to replace...
  19. TL-191: After the End

    So has the idea of MAD ever developed in this world or it never came up since there was no real cold war and most countries are closely tied through trade or alliances?
