  1. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    So lets talk about media or china's place in it. This is happening just before the Kung fu craze really hits steam. That craze more or less was pretty dominate during the 70s But china was destroyed so this is butterflied away right? No, hongkong was not touched they are still making movies...
  2. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Not at all true. As I’ve pointed out a couple of times above, the ‘defeat’ of Halifax by Churchill happened before the Dunkirk evacuation.
  3. Soviet Union with much less killed by Germany

    The reason glastnost and perestroika were tried was because there were serious problems that could no longer be ignored.
  4. AHC/WI: The US retains a full exclave in Cuba?

    America probably doesn’t let Cuba go Communist in the first place if they directly own part of the island.

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    you could add in Canadian production once that starts.6pdr 's for sure and probably 2pdrs as vickers were making octuple pompoms.
  6. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Any Halifax cabinet which would try to pursue peace would blow up the national coalition with Labour and then would have the problem that Hitler wouldn't accept a white peace.

    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    Triple replies? Replies to three people? Sure, I guess. Didn't really think about it until you mentioned it, but since I've definitely done that in the past it's not a bannable offense.
  8. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    ASB's know when they are trying to do the impossible

    WI Spain does nothing to assist American independence

    See below. Ah, I see. My mistake. Retraction of above will follow in short order. Upon closer examination, seems it was closer to reverse, though not that stark. Still, about the same percentage (~600,000 of 2.5 mil) of Loyalists, with Patriots by the end of the war taking up ~1,100,000 (at...
  10. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    The Halifax desire to at least explore a white peace, fizzled out after the psychological morphine that Dunkirk provided to the UK.
  11. Hawker Hurricane even more prolific and versatile?

    They don't need to. Merlin II was undergoing type test in September 1936 and that's the one that would be offered if the Canadians were looking to licence in spring 1937.
  12. AH Cultural Descriptions

    First formulated by administration expert Frank Lloyd Wright, the Iron Law states that in any bureaucracy, the natural tendency of that bureaucracy is to favour those individuals whose primary merit is the ability to follow the rules and to hinder those individuals who actually fulfill the...

    If you want to keep talking about decimation, please take it to a new thread, away from this timeline
  14. Soviet Union with much less killed by Germany

    The problems of the USSR were in no small part due to the fact that one generation was lost in the purges and the next one lost in a war against a genocidal wannabe-empire. And the "internal divisions" of the USSR were not recognizable until Glasnost & Perestroika. The USSR can (like many states...
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Could, conversely a failure at Dunkirk, stimulate French resistance, continuing in Algeria? Where is Giard at this Point? Admiral Darlan would have a greater role earlier I think.
  16. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Based on what?
  17. Soviet Union with much less killed by Germany

    Wait how would killing people, mainly Russians one of the primary supporters of the USSR weaken it? If anything I would expect their would be a lot russianifcation and people would feel the Soviets saved millions of lives from the Germans.
  18. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    Why wouldn’t they be confident, given that the Argentine success must surely come from a string of unlikely successes? Again, absent of any evidence that this is at all likely, I’d have to disagree. So how does “Get the Falklands back!” tally with your supposition the Conservatives would...

    Alternate warships of nations

    Ah the good old Elbonia jokes. I still remember watching that Q&A on forgetton weapons when this first came up. Now everyone who does weapons it seems has answered.
