  1. Plausibility check: Italy becoming a new HRE.

    2) is more likely, but only in the meaning that you could have a King become drunk on history and fancy themselves such. To claim an Imperial title, they'd need at least to unify Italy by themselves, no French or Austrian - or organized insurrectional - support at all. The other, equally...

    WI: Atatürk stops drinking?

    Could be, though Celal needs much more support for that. Ismet had the prestige from the war and being close to Ataturk. If Celal can get Ataturk's support because he got something done (faster industrialization? Diplomatic support for getting the Dodecanese or even Cyprus?) Something that gets...

    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    Much of the revolutionaries early weapons were smuggled from Spanish Louisiana. Have the Spanish stamp down on arms smuggling and voila, Britain has half of its problems solved.

    Would SpaceX still exist if NASA replaced the space shuttle with the X-33 and had not spent almost a dozen billion on Constellation?

    Would not have been able to change the NASA mindset, that was that way from Congress funds NASA Him being Prez would change what NASA would be doing with the Shuttle
  5. Buddhism lasts in India

    The side effect of this is that hinduist might become more aggressive and like sassanid make muslim more welcomed on India?
  6. Rockefeller 1960 -- consequences?

    If there were a serious attempt to use US forces in Cuba I think it would likely be something like Vietnam, certainly deeply unpopular
  7. Churchill Dies Suddenly after the UK is Already Committed to Fighting On.

    This is the kind of interesting and intelligent response I am looking for. Honestly I've really enjoyed the discussion from all sides in this thread. What kinds of alternatives are we looking at?
  8. Plausibility check: Italy becoming a new HRE.

    Hello. This is a thing I asked myself some days ago, but kinda forgot. Now that I remembered my question, I shall make it: With a PoD after the Congress of Vienna, could a king of a unified Italy be crowned/acclaimed roman emperor/emperor of the romans or any variations? There are two...
  9. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Yeah, I'm with keeping the Ottoman Sultans around for a few reasons until Trebizond can digest them. -First, you can make some unpopular but necessary concessions and capitulations in his name, especially now that there's a crusade. He can be the fall guy. There's hate for the Ottoman's, but...
  10. Rich Communist - A Stupidly Long Thread about Turning the USSR into a Mixed Economy in 50 Years and 10k Words.

    Good points, I don't really disagree with anything you said. However, Ireland was minor afterthought when I wrote this and has little to no effect on the bigger picture, so I don't really feel the need to go back and change it. Thanks for reading it, though. What did you think of the rest?
  11. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station
    Threadmarks: Part 27: Enterprise acquires an understudy, Galileo. Mir-II acquires a new lab, Curie. Hubble comes to stay.

    Boldly Going Part 27 With the launch of Minerva 3 in 2001, NASA had established the first of a new generation of human outposts beyond Earth orbit. However, it wasn’t the only new outpost launched that year. After many delays, Russia finally launched the first modules of Mir-II. Funded by...
  12. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I assume the Fox park will be this world's verison of DIsney's Hollywood Studio
  13. WI: US joins the Axis

    If we want to make it at least 0.000001% plausible and still have something resembling OTL, i think we should have a pod during the Great depression. Let's say there is a secret cabal made of antisemitic and antisionist industrialists, politicians, high ranking officers, journalists etc...
  14. The Forge of Weyland

    In general, I think the french doctrine is viewed by many as an extremely inflexible, top-down enforced by control freaks staff officers. Basically another version of the "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" trope. Military doctrines are not church dogma: They are guides rather than precise...

    The Forge of Weyland

    Paris - what is Henri Phillipe Petain doing at this point, given the events of this TL? America - There would be quite a number of US Army (now) senior officers who would remember how close the Germans came to a larger breakout in 1918(without the use of many tanks). There are also a great many...
  16. The Forge of Weyland

    And you are reflecting both issues in the TL.* We readers must also consider the slow communication processes on 1940 and how long it will take for the political leaders to understand what has happened. And worry what is happening or might happen. 24/7 real time media and "analysis" has...

    The Concord Campaign Part 3 The Battle of Providence would also begin on April 10th however much later in the day with the opening shots not being fired until just after 1550h. The Federal Army was deployed in a line running northeast to southeast just west of the Blackstone River Just north of...

    Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    not really. RR was using fitters to works bits into tolerance. too loose, and you don't have decent oil pressure and get tremendous blowback on a cold engine. Parts too far out for Merlins, got set aside for Meteors for a time Ford didn't do that. Packard, who also made marine and aeroengines...
