    No 1953 Iranian coup

    You mean the one funded by the CIA? Even without them, there was enough dissatisfaction with Mosaddegh being cozy with Tudeh, alienating his once alliance with the Clerics for that, his shift to taking dictatorial powers (disbanding Parliament) that there would have been a Coup within a year, in...

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

    Uhh... no! Here's a broad map: Japan <-> ocean broken up by islands <-> Midway <-> Hawaii <-> fucktons of empty ocean <-> California You see the problem here? No way to do an island-hopping campaign beyond Hawaii. At best they sit at Hawaii and if ASBs favor them they keep blapping every fleet...
  3. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Marcos in Manilla, Klyptocrat as he was, had the covering of fighting the new People's army. Park always claimed a need to fight communism and corruption.
  4. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    No proper landing boats and no amphibious tanks (the US had a few Stuart's on Midway).
  5. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Possibly but he could also state that the reunified state should reflect the whole of Korea in its government and not something built for the south. I can see it going either way, perhaps he tries and fails due to the backlash from opposition groups.
  6. WI: Yugoslav Trieste

    mhn, i immagine otherwise, good to know.
  7. Alternative UK response to the invasion of the Falklands

    What if the UK declined to mount an immediate expedition to reclaim the Falklands in 1982, but refused to give up their claim to the islands and explicitly reserved the right to take military action at a time and place of their choosing and also imposed a submarine blockade of the island (and...
  8. The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    I would suggest having them at once, both are linked trough Denmark and have a economical relationship with each other, if you're talking about one you might as well talk about the other already, Swedish-Denmark tension will be delicious to read.

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

    Interesting update, looks like Franco-American relations aren't doing good!
  10. WI involving recent Boston history: no MA-128 high-tech corridor

    I-93 is going through Boston and as an elevated roadway it was a complete disaster in the terms of traffic until implementation of the Big Dig. Adding I-95 to the equation would make Boston one huge parking lot. The obvious impracticality of the idea made 128 and 495 inevitable. Actually, 128...
  11. Why did Jimmy Carter fail as President when he had 61 Senators and 292 Representatives when he was elected?

    Idk if this has been mentioned, but the book Hardball by Chris Matthews actually does a pretty good job of explaining this situation in particular along with some of the other problems other administrations have faced getting things done in congress and why some presidents are more successful at...

    Wi: Genghis Khan Gay or Infertile?

    We also forget to mention we're also related to Charlemagne's farrier, his stablehands, and some fishwife fifty miles from Aachen. :lol:

    America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    But they were. 5,000 Phased Array elements at the MSR, Missile Site Radar, for each 'Face', EMP hardened, plus four foot thick walls
  14. Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    Didnt cities decline.after fall of Rome?
  15. Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    I don't see why this would result in war. The Romance speakers were the ruling class the romance speakers. I see British Romance being a prestige language and slowly over time the common people would adopt it.
  16. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    The Royal Navy (or at least the negotiators in 1930) were very specific in their reasoning for light cruisers to be a separate category inside the total cruiser tonnage limits. What the British REALLY wanted was a maximum tonnage limit on cruisers of 7,000 tons, Japanese were willing to go...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    So I took a look at the series myself. I'm not a superfan but it looks like a single post might be too short. If you have suggestions I'm open. Otherwise it will be grouped into the sections covering Books.
  18. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    And while they were at it build an extra Ibuki class heavy cruiser or Agano class light cruiser instead of Oyodo. The object of more cheating is to avoid the structural and stability faults of the OTL ships by building them with a larger and stronger hulls. If you use the extra displacement to...
