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

    Okay, a small quibble here. I'm almost positive that Yale didn't have a graduate program in History in 1877. I believe the first History PhD program in the United States was actually inaugerated at John Hopkins University, which opened in OTL the year prior. Prior to this, History in the...
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Production numbers are looking good for the armour so far I wonder if there is a way to speed up the production though.
  3. Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    The people there were still romance speakers and the ruling and priestly class in Britain

    If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    This is a good point. There were concerns about landings on the West Coast, which among other things led to Japanese internment. Whether those concerns were legitimate is a whole other issue.

    If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    Then they were bullshitting through their teeth and using "give me budget NOW"-speak on the treasury in order to get them to cough up the necessary funding.
  6. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    How many people could be sustained by hunting and gathering in Cambodia
  7. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    No. They could just about raid into the Central pacific and Indian Ocean. They had no ability to remain there.

    Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    Yes, indeed, but they were a shade of their former self.
  9. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    This quote was not original to the movie. It came from FDR himself. I believe it was in a private briefing with the Joint Chiefs, FDR was concerned how unprepared America was for war in 1941 and was concerned that if the Japanese launched an attack on the West Coast the U.S. Army wouldn't be...
  10. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    So, it seems that Hungary would lost its premiere status in the Balkans for quite a while, the war on the Magyar plains looks to be very interesting. The Moreans went well - they almost united Greece proper. I am not sure who holds Athens exactly, but I guess the logical next target would be...
  11. AHFA 2021 United American Cup/2021 Copa America Unida

    I won't push through with this, but I'll be watching closely to see how it works so maybe I can enter next time around. Also I see someone has claimed Long Island already in any case.

    If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    Basically, you need the Japanese smash victory version of Midway to happen again... and again... and again, and the laws of probability dictate that the chance of the chain of lucky victories gets lower the longer that chain is. The Americans only need to get lucky once; the Japanese have to be...

    On reflection you are quite right. on topic- forgive me for the daft question, but for dust suppression why not use seawater? Sure the salt content would, over time, cause problems, but surely these wouldn’t be worse than having widespread problems with dust destroying vehicles?

    If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    In a word, no. In more than a word, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
  15. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    In 1942 there where already 4 Essex class carriers under construction with them to be commissioned in 1943, in that time period Japan only had 1 carrier that was of the same class as the Essex that was commissioned, so you can see, Japan would be out built and out produced by the United States...
  16. Ring the Bell: An Alternate MLB History

    I don't know if I'm sold on the Twins getting moved. They're only 5 years removed from winning a World Series and had some success in Minnesota. They go through some tough times in the 1990s but Minneapolis is a good baseball city. I think they should stay put. The Brewers on the other hand are...
  17. WI involving recent Boston history: no MA-128 high-tech corridor

    The Big Dig just moved a lot of the traffic out of Boston proper into the suburbs from what I can tell (93 South going into Boston is a disaster now, well it was before the pandemic). Yes, the Silver Line lets you cut under the Fort Point Channel, but it's useless as a surface-level bus as it...

    Yes but they still existed
