    Bering Strait Bridge Built During Detant

    During the Detant between the US and USSR that existed during the 70s how technologically and geopolitically feasible would it be to build a bridge across the Bering Strait? Also if construction wasn't finished by the time the cold war heated up again under Regan, would Regan cancel it?
  3. The Forge of Weyland

    Good TL, if I haven't said so already.
  4. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    To be fair the costs of the 45s are inflated due to the cut order, just like the Zumwalt class, if even the original order for the 45s was held to they would have cost less, just as the games they’ve been playing with the 26. Not that you are wrong about the likely end costs, only pointing out...
  5. Fictional Films and Shows of Alternate nations (Pre-1900)

    You could see a show in the Byzantine Empire centered around the very messy Palaiologos dynasty, and a movie or different show based on the Alexiad.
  6. How much would it cost the modern UK to rebuild the Royal Navy to 1960s/70s levels of fleet strength?

    Three operational carrier groups means five CVA in service, allows for transit refits. Probably six. Given the QE's were officially around Stg£4B each that's probably forty billion there, not including new docks, yards et cetera. Nor the cost of aircraft and development costs. So another twenty...

  10. WI: Henri de Guise survives

    Hard to say. Very very hard. Henri de Guise lived at a time when there was a succession crisis in France. Henri III de France did not have any child and the next in line for the throne of France was Henri III de Navarre (future Henri IV de France) but the idea that he could become king of...

    Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    For those that are interested, Winstons ATD memos Action this Day, tended to be short sweet and to the point, normally about the size of a postcard. The idea was to raise a point, concentrate minds and clear out blockages in the system. The problem for the recipient was they were expected to...

    Was this meant to be in the case of a French defeat?
  13. WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    It would be interesting to see what a republican Napoleon would do with the areas that constituted invented French client states in OTL like Frankfurt, Berg, and Westphalia among others.

    Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    That begs the question: how does Johnston do against McClellan in an Overland Campaign? In my opinion, while Johnston was good at judging defensive ground and authorizing a stand on it, he was not tenacious at keeping that position when threatened by anything except a direct frontal assault. And...

    Of course they did Quintili Vare, legiones redde!
  16. Effects of these PoDs in Pakistan and Beyond?

    Would One really change much? I always saw East Pakistan did not have much problem with the language as they were not dictating the Language. Given you know Bangladesh to this day has one language and suppresses it's minorities, specially the Buddhists near Burma to prevent the same fate...
  17. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Just like this time Majorian will implememt reforms, hes already put a few in place. We will continue to see this for sure, including trying to make Italy hold its own weight. If he can get the rich to pay taxes and purge the corruption the empires taxes would increase massively. Avitus otl...
  18. Suicide weaponized by Soviet bloc

    Soviets were not technologically inferior in the 50s. That gap only became noticable in the late 70s early 80s and was much less noticable in weapons development than for consumer goods.
