  1. Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    Why was Washington plan to attack the British rear guard at Monmouth stupid? Even after Lee screwed up the attack in the morning, the Continentals won a tactical victory in the afternoon. In many ways it was Washington's finest hour. Monmouth proved the Continental Army could now stand toe to...
  2. Bering Strait Bridge Built During Detant

    How much could the cost be reduced if it was only a railway? I feel like that would make slightly more sense than a highway. Maybe the POD could be earlier and you could have the US invest into high speed rail, making this proposal more reasonable or something?
  3. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I can only imagine how empty other studio output must feel, original works notwithstanding.

  5. Rare earth metals in 70s and 80s

    Not even that, when my parents lived in East Africa in the late sixties they knew a chap who made a good living mining rare earths. Just from skimming the wiki article some rare earths seem to have had commercial applications before 1900 (e.g lanthanum).
  6. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    :rolleyes: My cynicism is based on the dubious experience of having worked on projects with BAE and QinteQ. I note that back in 2018 the hulls were costed (by the Committee of Public Accounts) at about Stg£6.2B for the two. Aircraft and systems costs were then at Stg5.8B (now I believe around...

    Just learnt Catherine of Aragon had a pet monkey. I always thought that portrait of her with one was a joke or some propaganda yoke. Also apparently Henry VII had a Pet Monkey he couldn't control...

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    Hello, and welcome to my fourth timeline on this website, A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline! The idea for this timeline has been stewing around in my head for a little while, and I thought I'd finally start writing it and putting it out here for you guys to see (and...
  14. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    If you count the minesweepers in the Persian gulf I don’t think there’s ever been a point during those 25 years?
  15. Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    American policy of the 1920's was very different then those of the 30's. Yes the USA had high tariffs, which were counter productive, but they were loaning money to Germany. The loans helped German economic recovery, by building new plants, and equipment. American loans dried up in the 30's, but...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I can so totally see a Muppets version of Particle Man, with Rowlf playing the announcer/singer and Gonzo as Particle Man. As for Istanbul (not Constantinople) I do hope this version is the only version:

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Wow that an interesting musical lineup for Disney there! Some great artists. Gald Dragnet made it, and the Baron actually made money this timeline. Is the The Vidiots this timelines UHF? I suspect I’d enjoy it even if it wasn’t. And now begins the rise of Tom Hanks! Hope Robin Williams is...

    Soviets Bloc weapons exported to unreliable allies were often downgraded equipments without the last advanced technology. And of course, you can give the best weapons to people who are unable to use them or who prefered running that fighting is not the sign that these weapons are worst than...

    Effects of the Mississippi River as an International Boundary

    Not good, that is for sure. As others said, the river fluctuates in course and that would be a mess for international borders. Either side could hold up part of the river even before you get to New Orleans. And even if France began a massive settlement program, American settlers would spill...
