    NO pearl harbor.

    Frankly the Japanese had no choice once the U.S. had frozen some of their assets and put a halt to the oil shipments. They needed oil and invading European colonial holdings wouldn't have been ignored by the U.S. for long.
  2. Northern Expedition: No Soviet Aid?

    They had a simmlar destiny coming out of empires, which had declined. An alliance between the underrepresented and the unheard.
  3. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    ...for the author's choice and intentions in their words. And I only mention it because it grates my ears like they were cheese (a problem of course *inside me*,) and in case you didn't know this might be the effect of your words. And as I've said, its a problem in me from having to deal with...
  4. Wi: Genghis Khan Gay or Infertile?

    Seems hard to believe one man could rape or seduce that many women. Got a source for that.

    There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Aww...hopefully Ferdinand and Isabella get along! I think it will be more difficult for João and little Catalina, given the larger age difference.

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

    Pryor and Wilder had excellent chemistry on screen too. How many films did they do together?
  9. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    It's a somewhat known fact that Mel's original ideas for Blazing Saddles were to have Richard Pryor play Bart and have John Wayne play the Waco Kid. But Pryor was way into his drug addiction at this point, and Wayne, though he LOVED the script, was worried about how it would affect his...
  10. How early could a horse-bus public transport system be successful?

    I think this can be done by any centerilzed state with the following. Coinage or other state backed currency. Wheels Wagons A beast of burden thats strong enough and common enough to be used for this task.
  11. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Well things just got interesting. The first scenario tiptoes the NHL into the world of corporate ownership, much like teams in Japan and South Korea. At first, fans would probably be upset, but depending on how much of a change Pepsi wanted to make, it may not be a big deal. If they started...

  14. How early could a horse-bus public transport system be successful?

    Yes, unless you want it to be free, the public must have money, coins, and be willing to spend it on transport, rather than on beer or something. Said transport has to be better than walking, getting you there faster, for example. And the transport has to go down the many narrow and crowded...
  15. AHC/WI: Vietnam War ends in a ceasefire?

    What if like the Korean War, the Vietnam War ends with negotiations for a ceasefire where both sides end the fighting but still remain hostile towards each other politically and culturally? Could such a deal be made, and what might the impact be of North Vietnam and South Vietnam existing in a...
  16. WI: Qantas Flight 72 crashes?

    A certain joke that relies on Qantas' perfect safety record in Rain Man may be edited out of reruns. While we're at it maybe Northrop Grumman might be dropped as a funder on PBS or that it's disclosure is going to be edited from a more commercial-like to a simple "Northrop Grumman has funded...

    Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    Also by 1960 Rockefeller wasn't the archenemy of the conservative movement, so he would probably carry a united Republican vote to victory on election day.

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    I played again as the liberal ottoman empire and something got me dissapointed at the end So, basically the kemalist route allows you to build a economy similar to latin america at the time, a strong national internal market with a export orientated trade policy, while the Liberal route of the...

    Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    Theodore H. White in his 1960 campaign book said the only person who got bigger crowds than JFK was Rockefeller in 1959. For that matter the brain trust running the Kennedy campaign figured if somehow Rockefeller got the nomination JFK would lose. Nixon 1960 really didn’t have a patch on Nixon...
