    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    They keep mentioning John Lennon here and there. I'd really like to see more of the other alternate events being mentioned in some form of a news report, history class scene, or pop culture reference in conversation. Examples: How is the history of Afghanistan without the Soviet invasion...

    Alternate warships of nations

    True, that said, a 26,000 tonne ship should still be quicker to build than a 35,000 tonne one, and most of the guns and turrets already exist* and are just sitting in a warehouse. So the build time should still be less than that of a KGV. *and if building two additional turrets would be too...

    The Plantagenet Succession

    I find this all highly unlikely. Elizabeth and Cecily’s marriages ITTL are far beneath them. And the Burgundian marriage for Anne would surely not be thrown aside like that.

    WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    They were under direct control of Moscow and took orders from Stalin directly
  6. Admiral Bloonbeard

    WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    The borders were already pre arranged so I do not see how that makes a difference

    Hitler without Morell

    It was actually Goering who came up with that nickname, but the main thrust is right: the rest of the inner circle was not very fond or respecting of the man. Tells you something when Heinrich Himmler thinks you're a quack and he's, well, right.

    European culture withou ww1?

    I concur that religiosity would decline, but not as fast as otl. Europe will definitely be richer without war debt or their investments liquidated, and smaller government costing less. Russia would certainly be more populous and wealthier, however the demographic transition will occur, so they...

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    I empathize a lot with Henry in this chapter...it’s always hard when you’re so deep in those thoughts.

    Hitler without Morell

    Unlikely. There was a Naziwank TL recently with this a POD, and posters pointed out it doesn't really change much because Hitler had already decided on Barbarossa and the Holocaust by the time he really gets hooked on bad stuff (during the 30s and early war it was vitamins and the like). Perhaps...
  11. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    I doubt that. The first few years post-war are still going to have to be spent winning the loyalty of the population and rebuilding. One thing that's often forgotten is that the PRC's economy policies were reasonably effective before the Great Leap Forward, with average standards of living...
  12. Upcoming AH books

    Kindly don't go off on current political rants outside of Chat.
  13. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    The general idea is that most of Europe is a lost cause for the US. I don't see any reason for the USSR to go south of the Pyrenees, though, as I imagine they'll take their digesting their other gains, and I don't feel like Stalin would be willing to risk a direct war with the US at this stage...
  14. Gideon's Folly: What happens when the USS Monitor never shows up for the Battle of Hampton Roads?

    ...ships. (Of course, it is also true that Virginia's propulsion plant was no great shakes, either.) In the long run, of course, the Union *is* going to prevail - they have far too much more of an advantage in shipbuilding, steel, and related industrial capability not to swamp the coast with...
  15. The German Century

    The western allies lost the battle of france in six weeks and they only had one front to worry about. Here the german forces are stationed in a potentially hostile country (flanders wallonia) and they have another hostile power on their eastern border. A recipe for a desaster if their forces...
  16. An 1-engine fast bomber for 1935-45?

    Il-2 has the same problem the Battle has, or the B5N, or the He 118 - that of being too big. With wing area of more than 400 sq ft, size-wise they are closer to A-20 or Mosquito. Neither of those 1-engined A/C listed was offering a low-drag wing, again meaning the speed will not be of any note...
  17. TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    During the Estado Novo? DIP is the name(or the acronym, as it were). Expect the new medium to be heavily co-opted by the regime, just as radio was historically - not only for directly showing propaganda of the regime, but in the more indirect manner of 'influencing' as well(I know of at least...
  18. The Empire Parnell Built

    Australia isn't dismembered as such - they just never federate into a Commonwealth. As for India, what makes you think the Empire hasn't 'become Indian'?
  19. Hitler without Morell

    I'm worried that we would have ended up with an equally evil but more competent Hitler. Scary thought.
  20. What if Rome discovered America?

    At 150 km/day and rounding down a little, 10250 km means 68,3 days. So let's say 70 days. And that's not even counting going around Spain and the like. It's just the straight line. Orbis uses 0.1 dn/day per kg, so using that, the shipping costs are 7 dn per kg (probably more). So dividing by...
