    DBAHC: Why were the Ottomans and Safavids reluctant to go to war with each other.

    I would say that the two Empires having different geographic focuses with the Ottomans focusing on trying to make the office of Kayser-i-Rum be more than a boast (including the rise of prominence of Muslim Greeks in government) and the Safavids focusing on Central Asia and India is what led to...
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    So it looks like with what became UHF at Disney instead, Orion's at least going to live a bit longer. Its always fun to imagine what OTL's actors are doing here. The father-daughter angle sounds interesting, as does Paul Newman in it. The Cheapest Muppet Movie sounds hilarious AF

    The tagline for the uchronie.com fanfic Island in the Sea of Time: Middle-Earth Edition, in which a certain West Virginian town is inserted into Rohan, replacing the area where the Tower of Isengard is supposed to sit... just before the Rohirrim barge in. This time nobody has any fucking clue...

  6. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    No war is isolated from global reality. Britain was perceived in the 30s as a peace seeking nation. That was part of why it played a leading role in international relations, since virtually no other nation wanted war and most trusted Britain to keep the peace. There would be a major political...

    DBAHC: Why were the Ottomans and Safavids reluctant to go to war with each other.

    The Ottoman Conquest of Habsburg Hungary and the Safavid conquest of the Tian Shan Mountain range made it impossible to spare troops against each other. The Ottoman front moved further in Europe meaning that there was more need for soldiers, less to none possible for a Safavid Campaign. For...
  10. DBAHC: Why were the Ottomans and Safavids reluctant to go to war with each other.

    The decision to revert from Shia Islam back to Sunnism was crucial I think. The Safavids decided that better relations with a fellow Muslim power are important. This allowed them to make peace

    Interesting that there'll be a komnenian branch ruling in Germany then
  14. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Not really the UK can afford the relatively cheap cost (vby war standards ) of beating Italy. Indeed overall the increase in manufacturing may have a Keynesian expansionist positive outcome as rather larger wars did for the US.
  15. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    @Peg Leg Pom Depends on how long the war lasts. If it's months, then it's mostly a "bring what you've got" affair. The CR.32 fought virtually all the other biplanes in european service in the 30s, either in Spain or in the minor conflicts in eastern europe and dominated all except the later...

  17. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    Don't wanna be too hyperbolic with Loving Expat's post, but that's some pretty interesting information. Interesting how the protest aspect of the Hawaiian banner seems to parallel that of the Confederate flag, in terms of something retained to show that you wish an historical power struggle had...
  18. How far west could the Slavs have gone?

    Samo's state is more successful, one of his successors introduces Christianity and allies with Franks against Saxons. Saxons are crushed and Slavic frontier is moved from Elbe to Weser.
