  1. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    For sure as I said "and very likely far reduced options for 'action' during 1940 and 41" I could not say for sure what those reduced options were but I would imagine that there would be less options for the Greek adventure for example Iraq and Syrian ops were conducted by (mostly) Imperial...

    I didn’t claim that it was new, merely on-topic given the discussion of embiggened Albanian borders.

    Effects of the Mississippi River as an International Boundary

    This small distributary of yours could be used as a bypass of New Orleans by the Imperials. Louisiana's response could be to breach the Old River and send the Mississippi down the Atchafalaya.
  4. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    He was, but not to the degree you seen in The Shootist. He made five films in the same time that Blazing Saddle was being shot/shown (Brannigan, McQ, and in what was probably his best later career performance Rooster Cogburn) and had completed four others in the previous two years during his...
  5. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    The latter point is the most important one. If we used current year thought for everything we'd have a fatalistic and suicidal society with no past and therefore no hope for the future. Russia for most of it's history has been an anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic society. The former is due to the...

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

    What about Berlin or Aachen wasnt that the city where Charlemagne was buried and he is the father of Germany and basically Europe
  9. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Moral capital has nothing to do with morality and all to do with predictability. When a nation changes it's politics abruptly it's reliability as a prefered partner is affected.
  10. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    What is missing in the quote is that the atrocities had been modus operandi of all sides involved in the RCW, that they had been started by the Red side and that their leadership was much more blood-thirsty. Red Terror was much bloodier than White Terror and, unfortunately, both were the facts...

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

    Depends on how they end up unifiying it, though reform it would probably be...Aachen? it should still be the traditionally accepted capital due to the coronations. But reforms are unlikely, enforcing unity is probably the way it would go and then the capital will be where they can establish...

    Well that was a great round! Just to be sure, a significent River (like the Nile or Mississippi) counts as a body of water right?
  14. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Nice timeline! One of the aspects I find most interesting about a Russian ww1 victory or non communist russia in general is the impact it would have on demographics. In OTL the population was decimated by the civil war and famines after ww1, losing tens of millions people when including the...

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

    I mean the Normans were successful in holding Southern Italy and Sicily in the face of Byzantine, Papal, and Arab opposition, so I don't think it's impossible for such a situation to occur with Roman resurgence. Would the Papacy be as unsuccessful combating Roman success as they were initially...

  17. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    That would be true in OTL, but this TL they had a more thriving community thanks to better Federal support. Dont' forget, even though in this TL it's in Sequoyah, Tulsa used to be called the Black Wall Street. The people that were the cause of that in OTL, are now in Oklahoma and their funds are...

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

    If the Byzantines retake Rome in this era the Papacy likely flees to France unless Henry IV and/or Henry V of the Holy Roman Empire decide to make peace with the Papacy. Byzantium likely restores the Pentapatriarchy and continues with business-as-usual while Italy becomes a target for either a...
