  1. Crimson Banners Fly: The Rise of the American Left

    I was just assuming that the social changes are either in line with OTL, or are long-term trends that have political consequences slowly, and since this TL has a focus on the political consequences, we were just seeing the effects of those trends marching slightly differently. If societal or...
  2. WI: decisive Spanish victory in the Dutch Revolt

    Phillip was a dedicated Catholic but there was a big gap between what he wanted and what he could do. He did not have resources to crush the Dutch rebellion fast (as per OP) using exclusively the military means and repressions. Alba could take few cities but he could not effectively garrison a...

    One of the Great Disappointments of My Life, Perhaps the Greatest

    D.D. Eisenhauer, who has died aged seventy-eight, is widely recognised as one of the most innovative artists within the Heartland School, an art movement he himself helped to establish in the 1920s and 30s as a reaction against the inroads of surrealism and abstract expression that began to...

  5. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    The capital of the People's Republic of Laos was Salavan. (1). The capital of the People's Republic of Vietnam was Dak Gei. (2) 1968 was a presidential election year in the United States and the war in Indochina was a major issue. The Republican Party mostly supported American involvement...

  7. How could the Germans have defended the pointe du hoc better

    The cannon were not emplaced at Pont du Hoc. The emplacements were not ready & the battery was emplaced and camouflaged a few kilometers to the south. With the cannon crews absent with the guns the position was under defended. Possibly by only part of the German pioneers involved in the...

    If America Never joined is victory for the allies still possible?

    The Nazi Empire would have collapsed into itself even without the good hard shove America gave them. Their objective was the impossible. To occupy such a vast area with a population several times their own while conducting a genocide against tens of millions? Not to mention the best of their...

  11. Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    Gennady Yanayev seems to be the obvious choice. However your mentioning of Zakhar Morozov's promotion to first secretary of the central Leningrad party committee (along with his personal friendship with Romanov) made me wonder wheater he might be elected to the party's highest position instead...
  12. In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    ... And abnormally? Is an alliance with the UPNG on the cards? After all, they also have China as a common enemy. On the other hand, with 1) the Carolinas also an allied from the UPNG and rather antagonist to France and 2) a potential French-Chinese friendship, Russia could then be facing event...

  14. The Forge of Weyland

    I have a feeling what you've written maybe a couple of weeks ahead of what you've shared as I believe your last shared update was that Narvik "was about to fall". As that what was prompted my question. ;)

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    Not really, since they all got the same number of votes. Plus they are currently being broken down. So I'm in 5th place (which I find really incredible for a first year). I have ideas for matches between important characters (or completely unremarkable but reflecting an important moment in my...
  17. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    Packard did re-drawing from 1st angle projection (as it was used in Europe) to the 3rd angle projection (used in the USA). There was no need to redisign the Merlin for mass production - factories in the UK were already mass-producing the Merlin, assisted by it's very tight tolerances already by...

    In this country , it is good to kill an admiral from time to time

    People do not invade for fun, my dear reader. They invade because it is in their own interest to do. At the moment, it's clear it is in the interest of Spain to have a neighbour to the north which isn't as military armed and tyrannical than this Empire of Brazil is. On the other hand, the...
