    AHC: Shortest possible Dutch Revolt?

    Like most very long wars, like the 100 years war, it wasn't 80 years of active fighting. There were several phases of fighting, with pauses inbetween. The question of course then becomes, how do we make Spain recognize Dutch independence earlier?
  2. AHC: Shortest possible Dutch Revolt?

    No, but it was the Spanish who refused to acknowledge the reality that they were losing control for 80 years. The Spanish claimed that they had control of an area that they didn't have control over.

    Sorry for not responding last night, I fell asleep. I'll try and upload as soon as I can.
  4. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Again, if they last long enough as distinct states, a common enemy isn't going to make them all sing Kumbaya.
  5. William Howard Taft succumbs to a heart attack in 1909

    The 1918 flu pandemic possibly confined to the US? Now that's an interesting side effect. Another thing to consider is this: with the US entering the war earlier, there will be many more casualties among US forces. I wonder how that will change things. For all we know, men who became...
  6. When did Western Europe become truly dominant?

    I´d argue that the course for dominance had been set at least by 1500, if not earlier, although it did not mature fully until about 150 years later. But the relevant developments all had happened before 1500: Political landscape: By 1500 a number of reasonably stable European states had...
  7. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Not necessarily, and indeed not unless the nuclear engine is particularly spicy (e.g. fusion or the like): http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/appmissiontable.php#id--Spaceship_Handbook_Mission_Table A round trip mission to Mars by these tables is about 30 km/s, including liftoff from...
  8. Churchill Dies Suddenly after the UK is Already Committed to Fighting On.

    If Britain was able to provide the necessary forces because of an earlier end to the North African campaign, it likely wouldn’t have been a debacle.
  9. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    The point of the Mogamis was the conversion to 8in heavy cruisers; the IJN recalling their successful use of armored cruisers at Tsushima. With the conversion, the IJN had parity with the USN in heavy cruisers. Light cruisers were Destroyer Squadron Leaders according to doctrine, as AdA...
  10. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Thanks. But that means there are eight states that award their seats to the statewide plurality winner, not seven - Bighorn, Cheyenne, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio and Yellowstone. Unless one of these aren't technically states. Which would explain the discrepancy between the number...
  11. Imperial China's trade position in modern world

    Another one of my high concept questions, and technically one that would have a POD in the 19th century, but I'm mainly interested in the impact in the modern era. So, let us assume that China has the following national borders: Let us also assume that, at minimum, Burma/Myanmar (whatever it...
  12. WI: Rio De La Plata/Parana agricultural cradle?

    Could araucaria nuts become a relevant part of an agricultural package? The trees grow throughout the region and the seeds are commonly eaten today. A managed forest of araucaria trees could produce a lot of seeds, but the trees take years to grow to adulthood, so it would be difficult to spread...
  13. AHC: make the Philippines add to the Asian Tigers

    With a POD from 1948 to 1990s, make the Philippines richer than those two combined. I start as Quirino winning reelection and Magsaysay never becoming president, because He is a lot more competent than him and did more for the industrialization and had good policies mostly for...
  14. TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    Any "broadcast behind enemy lines" would have first been sent back to London or New York as film, censored and then reshown later.

    Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    Inevitable no, but it all depends on why no nazis and what instead of Nazis.

    All the other branches are extinct but they extinctet in a natural way not by usurpation
  19. Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    At the risk of getting off topic ... could we indeed have a grand democratic capitalist alliance aimed at eliminating communism ?? I guess the USA will decline to take part, at least initially .... but lets say Poland signs up (they have enough reason to want to eliminate the threat to the...
