    DBWI: no Franco-Spanish Union 1580

    WI: Castilian-Portuguese union instead of Castilian-Aragonese union?

    Quite interesting point, I may add that this flow of rufians happened in Portuguese territories too, the plazas in North Africa trained a lot of men to deal with Indian problems Afonso de Albuquerque is an example of this, being 10 years of military service in North Africa.

    Yes, as long as it is clear whose pond it is.
  5. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    If the Confederates won the civil war, how long would it take for them to abolish slavery, or whether they would even abolish slavery at all? Will they do it eventually because of morality reasons, to allow trade with very anti slave countries, or because of technological developments?
  6. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Not sure what was so bad about his character but he was definitely a capable and dedicated person. After he won the case related to the appointment to the General Staff, he was on a right path to the further career but, as you can see, he was serving as a staff officer but in the army units, not...
  7. Alternate warships of nations

    ...like a slave and/or a valuable piece of equipment but the journey finds them ending up actually caring, (still in a "Gentleman"/"Servant" manner of course, must maintain propriety after all :) ) about each other. The hope-eternal is that given a chance a b*-tard can change their ways :) Randy
  8. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    1 of 2 things happen, either he makes a prison break, returning to cuzco and beginning an Inca restoration, or he died in prison and may give a little bit more momentum to an inca restoration movement. Almagro may be replaced by a more kind ruler to the natives or a more cruel one, or by Pizarro...
  9. DBWI: no Franco-Spanish Union 1580

    In 16th century a union was made between France and Spain when the Queen of Spain and the King of France married. This event changed history forever. It is hard to even imagine this not happening but what if? What if Spain and France stayed as separate countries?

  12. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I think it will depend on where the colonies are. many of them in the sights of the axis weren't really keen on swapping one colonial master for another. Problem with the Arab mandate is that any British promises are going to have to be signed in royal blood to be believed (given post WW1...

    Threadmarks: 4 February 1941. Chertsey, England.

    4 February 1941. Chertsey, England. From the after-action reports of Operation Compass, a list of suggestions had been made regarding British tanks in general and the Valiant in particular. The management team at Vickers were working their way through these trying to sort out what could be done...
  14. The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    To put yourself off the potential hook, you can use epigraph from “The Theatre of Clara Gazul”: “This is an end of the comedy, don’t blame an author!” or from “Tartarin in the Alps”: “Switzerland does not exist” (who can blame you for the fictional account about non-existing place?) . Or just...
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Maybe not the instant, but yeah Of course OTL is happens pretty quickly anyway. And while it might be hindsight talking I think it was pretty clear which way India at least was going to go anyway!

    Very, very true, but thought we were still in the context of someone sabotaging their own navy :) Sorry if that wasn't the intent Randy
  17. East German Army if GDR didn't reunited with West Germany in 1991?

    As of 1989 when the Wall fell, the Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact was just starting a vast modernization program to be brought to the standard of mid-late 1980's Soviet Army. In the case of East-Germany this involved a plan for modernizations and acquisitions going through 1995, made in 1988. This...

    Therr are slavic toponymy all around Austria, sans Tyrol, and large parts of northern Austria were parts of Great Moravia, and later Bohemia. Slavs also inhabited small part of north east Bavaria.
