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

    As said in the footnote, the author of the previous segment has an orientalist bias and makes the Ottomans' move sound rather random - it will be looked at from a different perspective in the next segment.

    How egregious, PngHut blatantly stole art from here, https://img1.pnghut.com/13/18/4/MS5NmA9WSn/alternate-history-tree-reality-blank-map.jpg

    It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    An interesting update on everything happening around the periphery of the war! The influence of the naval battles to make a revived SoDak a psudo-Montana is a very logical one, something that I don't think I've seen in any other timeline. As they say, timing is everything, and 1938 is not yet...

    Any good AH stories about a failed American Revolution?

    The Year of the Hangman by Gary Blackwood is pretty good. Washington gets captured by the British early on in the war, Revolution fails and the Founding Fathers flee to Louisiana.
  7. Effects of the Mississippi River as an International Boundary

    Rivers don't necessarily make for good international borders. Mississippi River has problems, but nothing insurmountable. IMO, the biggest problem with French Louisiana is the situation in Europe. IF it is just colonial France vs USA, there isn't much hope USA could take Louisiana, presuming...
  8. What were the key developments that enabled the Age of Exploration?

    There is often enough discussion of 'what if America was discovered earlier?' usually featuring the Romans getting the job done. We know that sailors in antiquity had the ability to circumnavigate Africa in principle - Phoenicians did it, but had to do a stop over to literally grow their own...

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    Congrats dude! You got 2nd place in terms of overall votes. If you don't find anything else, I think your existing story/timeline structure works quite well. Bro this is awesome! I wish I could be of more help, but the mid to late 17th Century and very early 18th Century is an area which I...
  10. Would SpaceX still exist if NASA replaced the space shuttle with the X-33 and had not spent almost a dozen billion on Constellation?

    Yeah you would still be seeing massive cost overruns and delays plus I suspect operating costs in the STS range. I suspect there is no way there is COTS program and without that SpaceX may founder. Eventually some commercial company may make it, but limited to small sat launches, though I doubt...
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    The idea of a Methodical Battle doctrine isn't terrible. My personal feeling is it got too rigid between the wars, not helped by a too-old officer corps. A more flexible version is a lot closer to the British 'bite and hold' idea. Of course, opening a hole to send your tanks through to disrupt...

    Kerbogha relieves/retakes Antioch from the First Crusade. What next?

    Probably Edessa as it seems like thr easiest target. If that is dealt with he moves South against the Fatimids.

    @Murica1776 whatever happened to Bobby and Vera?
  14. WI: US joins the Axis

    First, just a quick thought about the POD - in OTL, there was at least one plot in the US in the 30s to overthrow Roosevelt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot. So, that might be as close as you can get to a reasonable place to branch off. Regarding the actual fighting - if the...

    WI: Atatürk stops drinking?

    Ataturk was strictly neutralist though also in favor of getting some of Turkish lands belonging to the Misak-I Milli. Sounds weird, but... sure. He succeeded with Hatay prior to his death. There is no telling if he will join WW2 but what I know is that he won't join the German side. If offers no...

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today is the first anniversary of my timeline. I wanted to take advantage of the 38 people who voted for me at the Turtledoves (which makes me 5th, behind the first four who had the same result). I would like to thank those who voted for me but I don't have...

    Alternate warships of nations

    As a smart traitor I'm not going to risk outing myself by adopting "new" weapons that are worse than those already in service. Rather I'll stick with what the army already has which is fine but rather long in the tooth by the 1930s (and more importantly not adopt any LMG to supplement them).
  18. The Forge of Weyland

    Things CAN happen rapidly, but usually reaction speed up due to circumstances. A good example is the OTL Battle of Britain, in which decisions and reaction got considerably faster as it went on. There is also the issue that the military are institutionally conservative. There are very good...
  19. WI: US joins the Axis

    In anything resembling our 20th Century this would require ASB intervention. For the USA to support the Nazi's so much of the late 19th and early 20th Century world history would have to be different enough to make the rise of the Nazi's or a recognizable WWII all but impossible. In fact I have...
