  1. TL-191: After the End

    In 2021, the US has the single strongest navy in the world, as well as the largest. However, the US does not enjoy a hegemonic position in terms of naval strength: the US has friendly naval rivals (the Empire of Brazil, the German Empire, and increasingly China and Russia) as well as an...

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

    As it happens, I was going to post this tonight, having worked on it over the weekend. I know I said I would do it by then, but I had more to do at the weekend than I'd expected (it was a 72-hour weekend, 200 miles away from home, so AH wasn't my top priority). From your first post, I thought...
  3. WI: Viacom/CBS/CenturyLink/Charter merger

    So, yeah, what if all these companies were merged because Sumner Redstone decided on a mega-merger equivalent to AT&T/Time Warner or Comcast/NBCUniversal.
  4. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Yeah, I was expecting that the Italian, Norwegian, Greek and Yugoslavian fronts would have small attacks and diversions.

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

    No but damn it's something I'd love to see written on her epitaph!

    Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    Yeah, tbh he kind of hurt Mary more than he helped her.

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    IOTL, the destruction of Khwarezm by the Mongols led to many leaving westward, serving as mercenaries for the Mamelukes. It is because of them that Jerusalem fell to Muslim forces in 1244 and led to the Seventh Crusade. Since Egypt is implied to fall under some sort of Christian control, the...
  8. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    Scroll down a bit for a mildly NSFW cartoon from the 2000s(I think), portraying an anarcho-primitivist uprsing. I believe this one did, in fact, claim inspiration from Fight Club, though that movie's weirdo gender antagonism is mostly absent. And while it's pivotal to the ideology-based...
  9. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Just as there were guilds that tried to block slaves from certain industries, I wouldn't be surprised if Confederate trade unions wouldn't want to block slaves from Tekin' Ur Jerbz(TM).
  10. The German Century

    The World in 1925 after World War I and the fall of the British Empire. Please let me know if there's any detailes to fix.
  11. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Actually an interesting tidbit of history I never considered. And to be fair, most of what I said in this thread about industrialization leading to the abolition of slavery is based on the assumption that the owners do not find it profitable to use slaves beyond nominal or light capacity, which...
  12. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    No they made hundreds from 1942 I think Churchill used one as his runabout, the US had quite a lot to get stuff about the Pacific and many were used to get supplies to the Chinese and to supply the B29s across the 'Hump' from India - here though with Rangoon still in Allied hands and supplies...

    Days Like These: A Late 80s Labour Timeline

    Right, that is the end of part 1 as it were. I’ll be back in about a month and a bit with a proper written down plan of where next now that I’ve covered the leadership campaign. Until then, I give you Gould on C-Span

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Not a ton of options for the Germans to shift forces around either. They're on their heels across much of Russia, Italy is going poorly, the force in Norway may as well be on Mars, Greece has been a knot and now is getting worse, and Oh Boy, France seems to be hotting up big time.

    Map Thread XX

    I believe that's called Worlda. You also have the Qbam, Mbam and VTbam which are pixel maps in the same way but with more detail. there's also the XKbam series with another projection
  16. Photos from World War Z

    Israeli soldiers in combat operations. The above photo takes place during the (albeit brief) Israeli Civil War, while the bottom photo takes place during Israel's clearance of zombies after the imposition of national quarantine. Israel would be one of the few states to emerge in the post-WWZ...
  17. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Yeah...I totally read that in Kosh's voice
  18. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    They built I think 6 during the war as they didn't want to disrupt production of Dakota's. There was probably a Operational Research analysis that made the case against larger transports sitting in a procurement office somewhere.
  19. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    I think with the Texas Revolution historians would probably see it as an extension of the slave power that controlled the US at the time dictating foreign policy and thus a bad thing (and they wouldn't really be wrong). With the Mexican-American War, there might be a general sense that it wasn't...
  20. The Forge of Weyland

    The Germans - and Goering in particular - have plans for Holland. Unfortunately they aren't very nice plans...
