  1. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    It is interesting what the British had to relearn from the Great War to WW2, combined arms operations being the obvious one but also the myriad logistical details required to fight a war. It was almost as if they had suffered so much in the Great War that the lessons were ignored completely for...

    No 1953 Iranian coup

    Or the Sino-Soviet Split sees the Tudeh Party siding with Beijing, for that matter.

    I don't think additional images are an issue, I've added an additional image for at least one map here

    AHC: WW1 with pro Central Powers Serbia/Greece and Pro Entente Bulgaria/Ottoman Empire

    Wouldn't they both be blockaded? By Britian (with Ottomans blocking Black sea). Though I suppose it won't matter much, as they would win the war before they would start suffering from shortage. Who would the Italy join?

    WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    In such a timeline he probably wouldn't have put his family members on thrones in Catalonia, Northern Italy etc. One of the big problems when he was negotiating for peace was that he didn't want to remove his family members from their thrones. In a timeline where he does not do that he might be...
  8. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    How does this affect the war in Spain?

    WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    There was a lot of protests in Britain at the time of napoleon and revolutionaries and votes on increasing and liberalisation of voting rights and on ending the war. One thing that did happen in our timeline was that Ireland became part of Great Britain and Ireland and receives voting rights...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 113: Prince

    Chapter 113: Prince June, 1459 The battle had been ferocious. It had been worse than Edward had thought such a thing could be, and despite having spent hours preparing for it mentally, he still wasn’t sure he could fully comprehend what had happened. It had been a furious melee. Not an...

    Awesome work old buddy! Can’t wait to see the ripple effect across Canada.
  12. WI: no Mussolini in power

    What if Benito Mussolini never became a politician? Say he got some other job or he emigrated to the US as a young person.
  13. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    A broader question: when was the last time when the United States was considered a fully-functioning democracy?
  14. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Not really eraser is in common usage in the UK. What I think you mean is that the US usage of rubber differs from the British usage
  15. The Gallican Empire: The Byzantines of Western Rome

    hmm it seems sort of like an imperial federation. with power somewhat decentralized it could go any number of ways good or bad.
  16. No 1953 Iranian coup

    True, though depending on how popular Mosaddegh was, the people may rebel against the Shah in retaliation and could spell the end of the monarchy if things went badly enough. Of course, the British would try and react against this though the Americans I don’t think would get involved at first...
  17. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    This exchange shows the beauty and pitfalls of English as a global language. Tens or hundreds of versions, all almost fully mutually comprehensive. But not always! Lots of phrases, acronyms, abbreviations and just different words for the same thing. Like rubber (British) for eraser (US).
  18. WI: Yugoslav Trieste

    Koper does not get developed as cargo port. There would be considerable competition between Trst/Trieste and Ljubljana, so it's possible that while Ljubljana would be political centre, Triest would be economical. It would probably have larger population than OTL.
  19. Lascaris

    WI: Atatürk stops drinking?

    Dodecanese was 90-95% Greek. West Thrace was over 70% Greek following the population exchanges, ~103,000 Muslims in the 1928 census in a population of 360,000, the Greek answer to anyone proposing they give any territory to an opportunistic neutral in "exchange" of overwhelmingly Greek...
  20. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    True, and time to get the shipping organised. And I believe they were less ready for deployment in 1940.
