  1. Northern Expedition: No Soviet Aid?

    I honestly don't see any Western power supporting the KMT which was keen on anti-imperalism. Without those military advisors from the USSR, the KMT military flops (especially under the command of Sun Yat-sen). The biggest impact is that Sun isn't able to return to Guangzhou after he's forced...
  2. How could the Roman Republic survive into the present day?

    -Venice survived as an independent Republic for over 1,000 years... But, followed the aforementioned model. They were born, grew slowly over centuries as an insignificant state, matured and had a brief golden age, stagnated, declined and by the time it was dissolved had become a shadow of what...
  3. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    That is going to depend upon rail lines as much as will. Last time we looked at supplying Italy getting enough coal across the Alps was an issue. And even if it wasn't the facilities for processing it were built around ports.
  4. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Wayne was a trooper. Wayne did 11 episodes of Laugh in. And I give you: North to Alaska One of Wayne’s few comedies, but, he could do a good job, and Brooks would direct to Wayne’s strength. Can you not see Wayne and Pryor in this scene: Waco kid And not find it even funnier? We definitely need...
  5. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    ...this "Eternal State", as a "Societist" entity, is will be interesting. Orientalist tone aside, it seems that it would eschew any kind of artificial language or *Universal Church, because "Constantinople is the Universal City and therefore the natural leader of the world." Curious to see more!
  6. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    I don't think blanket nuking is on the table, more like striking let positions to get the leadership to capitulate. Unless we are talking about crazy Ultra Nationalists that want to recover all of the lands of the Tsardom or burn it all, which we might be, Russia has a vested interest in...
  7. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Let's See In 1996 OTL: Donald Trump bought the Miss Universe Organization from a Company that owns the NY Rangers But In 1996 TTL: Donald Trump bought the New York Islanders from John Pickett Jr. that owns the NY Islanders and gets Jeffrey Katzenburg and Herb Scannell to build a Hockey Team...
  8. How could the Roman Republic survive into the present day?

    You realise that 2000 years is hellish long time. And Roman Republic hardly can survive at least in that form what it has been several centuries. Change is really inevitable thing and history would be really unrecognsible with surviving/longer living Roman Republic. It is hard even imaginate...
  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I certainly hope they won't give the vote to five-year-olds. (Or convicted felons, though I recognize that's more debatable.) How about borrowing some wording from the OTL Fourteenth Amendment: "The right to vote at any election for [insert list of offices]" shall not be denied to any...
  10. Wi: Genghis Khan Gay or Infertile?

    Take to noitfication that Genghis Khan died 800 years ago and him had lot of children, probably more than we know. And them had again lot of their own children. Inevitable one guy is getting millions of descendants by 2021.
  11. How could the Roman Republic survive into the present day?

    I think it could survive, although you would have to see foundational reforms and it wouldn't be the exact same, although keeping certain positions such as the consul is possible. - Venice survived as a independent republic for over 1,000 years. - Byzantine kept the Roman Imperial identity...
  12. WI: Catholic Church splits apart in the 16th Century

    Any anti-popes in this timeline?
  13. 2018 Presidential Election

    Saw this clip of Bartlet's debate prep from the show that I feel I should share for the last exchange between the 43rd and 46th presidents that is funny in hindsight given which country Sam's first foreign policy crises was in:

    Republic of Lamu - Legacy of Japanese colonization of the Horn of Africa

    Symbols of Lamu: Under Japanese administration, Lamu used the flag of the Japanese Empire, alongside a red standard which represented the Governor. Flag of the Governor of Japanese East Africa After the fall of Japanese East Africa to Allied forces, a local police force was assembled to...
  15. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Before we jump to conclusions about a automatic British victory, let's answer a few questions: 1) How much can Italy replace British exports with that of neutral France and Germany, and the rest of Europe? If most of Europe remains neutral, then I question the effectiveness of a blockade. 2)...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    I wonder, is Nixon gonna keep things clean.... Or is Dick gonna still get Tricky.

    Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Would have liked to have seen him play Taggart
  18. No 1953 Iranian coup

    Resistance to Russian in Afghanistan can be based on nationalism too contrary to popular belief Islam played a very minor role in motivation of “ mujahideen” these are not like taliban
  19. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    Too bad we can’t make a condition: “Your forces are going to Europe to fight fascists. Here’s some oil to get there. Well give you enough to get back after VE Day.” What ships are left? What planes and how many? Would it not be fun to see the Rising Sun vs the Swastika?
  20. Rohingya part of Pakistan, does Myanmar join Indo-Pakistani wars

    Nothing like they did in OTL SELL arms to Pakistan
