  1. What if communism didn’t exist

    Serfdom was abolished in Russia 1861 I doubt Marxism had very much to do with that.
  2. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Sure, the British don't have radar or are just being installed (so if there is a Cape Matapan battle it will difficult to see going as OTL) and trying to do a Taranto raid without the proper torpedo will probably give different result, they are hardly started rearmament while Italy it's more on...
  3. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Question: With all this extra emphasis on Earth-orbit and Lunar outposts, how has that impacted Mars and outer-planet exploration? Galileo and Cassini-Huygens? The pile of Mars rovers and landers? New Horizons?
  4. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    I quite agree about Phillip’s personality but he was not an idiot and later rather than sooner the realities of life caught up even with him. After all, Alba with his straightforward methods had been removed and, after the death of Don John, Alexander Farnese became governor-general and (to...
  5. The Forge of Weyland

    You should see what the French ordered to replace the Char 2C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCM_F1
  6. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    That being said, how does the loss of the BEF affect the rest of the war, assuming no peace? I'd assume that Axis would do better in North Africa in 1940-41 (but logistics seriously limits how far they can go), and Barbarossa probably wouldn't be significantly affected (although the Germans will...

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

    and when Russians were getting the beating of their lifetime from the Germans. They offered Kars to Ottomans to have them join but by then it was too late. the solution is simple, have the ottomans join the war a bit late, and then the Russians won't reject because they are getting shit beaten...
  8. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    I wouldn't think that 600hp flatty would run very long, however: say, 15 sec at a time, over a quarter mile? An enduro (road race) engine wouldn't be much over 200hp, I don't think.
  9. Ring the Bell: An Alternate MLB History

    Are there enough cities that can support major league baseball teams? You have to fill a stadium of close to 50,000 or attempt to at this point in the timeline. MLB only has 30 teams. Maybe you can get to 32 like the NFL but after that there are going to be franchises struggling in small markets...

    What were the key developments that enabled the Age of Exploration?

    To be honest I'm not entirely sure, it just seems like an obvious factor due to the months long voyages on the open ocean
  12. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Welp. There goes any semblance of similarity TTL has to OTL in regards to the USA.
  13. What were the key developments that enabled the Age of Exploration?

    What food preservation tech, in particular?

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

    Continuing this, I would expect Italy to side with the CP. They have further ambitions against the Ottomans and against Britain and France. This would probably prove crucial in France, which had to send some of its forces to the defense of the straits, and now will either have to weaken the...

    Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    As someone who is a big fan of Toynbee's "universal state" concept and the more recently-developed "civilization-state" concept, the Ottomans taking up the Roman Empire's traditional definition of those is BIG to me. I didn't think the Ottoman dynasty or Turkish people themselves took being the...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    Looks like unlike the allies the Germans haven't gotten any samples of enemy tanks! Also:
  17. If America Never joined is victory for the allies still possible?

    Possible? Yes, especially if the Soviets perform better in 1941-42. Certain? Definitely not; the US contributed hugely to the victory OTL, and the Soviets came close to economic collapse in 1942-1943, while the British faced a manpower crisis by 1945 even with the Red Army destroying the bulk of...
  18. No 1953 Iranian coup

    There is a line from the overthrow of the Shah to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, to the western support for the Mujihadeen. No Iran coup may mean no modern Islamism, Sunni or Shia.
  19. Taft-wing Republicans in the '50s/'60s

    I would've assumed a relatively good relationship with Congress in a 1952 win for the short time he'd be in office as despite nominal dominance by Democrats this was the era of the Conservative Coalition, which surely would be empowered with the ascension of one of their own to the presidency...
  20. Ring the Bell: An Alternate MLB History

    If Canada gets a third franchise could there also be if not DC the other Northern Virginian option? I am a junkie for as much expansion as possible.
