  1. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Maybe tongue in cheek but I kind of think Indian independence was delayed at least initially as there was hope that it could be held off for a decade or two/delayed until the natives see straight/passed off the other lot after the election depending on your viewpoint. A firm declaration during...

    Chapter 10: New Leader, New Labour 17th of June 1989, London Peter was anxious, it was something that he had experienced a lot off in recent times, but now it had tightened into a horrible knot in his stomach. Sitting inside what he guessed was soon to be his old office, he tried to salve his...

  5. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Why waste a perfectly good tank on a flamethrower variant when you have hundreds of marginal use A15 hulls just waiting for a decent weapon? This also applies to AVRE vehicles - it would be nice to standardise on the Valiant / Victor line but if you already have the chassis in production why...

    AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Would be interesting if this happened and we got either a split CruDiv6 or two separate divisions. Savo Island and Cape Esperance might go down differently.

    Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    he was an outlier, to be honest. And of a different Generation, too. Blue Eyes was part of the 'Greatest Generation' while Wayne was of the 'Lost Generation'

    Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    It would be interesting to see how Brazil would react to that, he was a celebrity here due his role in world war II. Maybe he takes a different stance from OTL and the 1964 coup doesn't happens.
  12. WI Italy discovers oil in Libya in early 1930s?

    Except Sinclair oil got a concession to explore for oil in all Italian colonies (and I believe the mainland) from Mussolini's government in 1924.

    Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    This. You can’t “adopt” a political programme of ‘primitive communism’ as if it’s some sort of ideology or political idea, it’s a descriptor for hunter gatherer societies. An Anarcho-Primitivist Khmer Rouge makes zero sense in context of the region, and had a whopping 0.000% of even being...
  17. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Lol yeah, you could've picked a lot of other flags to compare it to! Like sometimes in Texas you'll see the Alamo flag flown by people who romanticize independence. Might even look at Quebec? I don't specifically know the history of the flag, but those are certainly symbols of the French...
  18. WI: Oda Nobunaga doesn’t get betrayed

    I'm not really sure that being of Minamoto descent would be essential to be given the title of Shogun. During the Kamakura period, there were Fujiwaras and imperial princes who held that title... Besides that, the title didn't even start with the Minamoto
  19. Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    There's definitely room for an Eisenhower backed moderate candidate as Eisenhower won't want to back Rockefeller (Ike was really insulted by Rockefeller's calls for increased defense spending which Eisenhower took as an attack on his own record as president), but I agree that it's really hard to...
