    I was just correcting some affirmations who were totally wrong.

    AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    Here is an interesting Quora article - read the first post: https://www.quora.com/How-good-were-Japanese-cruisers-throughout-WW2 In particular this bit: The Agano class had good attributes as destroyer flotilla leaders, but were even better when viewed as an aggressively-pitched scout, like a...
  3. WI: socialist parties in Germany and France oppose WW1?

    The French Socialists see far worse results in the postwar election. Being excluded from the coalition of victory will make them look a lot worse, especially considering the war came with territorial gains that satisfied revanchist sentiment The SPD may have been in a worse position postwar...
  4. Sheep pastoralism in Japan and Korea

    Did anyone figure out climatic effects of deforestation of Japan? Replacement of forests by grassland may alter albedo as well as have effect on wind patterns.
  5. TV invented by the time World War 2 starts, impact on public perception?

    The TV news wouldn't be much different from weekly newsreels, only more frequent and delivered directly to your dining room, given that all the belligerents, even those with the free press like the UK or the US, let alone the ones like the USSR, Germany, Japan or Italy, would have heavily...
  6. Stanley Baldwin's Successful Political Gamble: A TL from 1923

    1944 was a presidential election year in the United States. In January, President John Garner announced that he would not be seeking the nomination of the Democratic Party for President. He was 75 years old. At the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago from 19 to 21 July 1944...
  7. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    Brazil v Chile (Belo Horizonte/La Cisterna) England v Germany (Leicester/Dortmund) France v Costa Rica (Paris/San Jose de Costa Rica) Uruguay v Netherlands (Montevideo (Campeon del Siglo)/Amsterdam)
  8. What if Rome discovered America?

    Indeed. And rulership remains difficult. The Americas are very hard to reach, or at least, expensive to reach. Which means that sending an army there would be prohibitively expensive, so even if you do get conquests there, it will take a lot to keep those territories loyal instead of seeking...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Some of you are very pessimistic, already discussing their divorce when they haven't even started having problems. And about Henry and Catherine... we will see their reaction soon.
  10. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    The problem is that in reality such military scenarios are not feasible, by operating east of the Falklands the carriers more virtually invulnerable because they are out of range of virtually every Argentine land based aircraft. What's more the fuses weren't shoddy, it merely a practical...
  11. AHC: Make gyrocopters the primary short- to medium-range travel method for the rich by the late 20th century

    To add to what @andys said, you need a whole different idea of acceptable security and risk than ours, starting somewhere in the late 60s.
  12. WI: Indo Europeans, migrate East, then conquer Europe

    And tradition of primogeniture played equally a bigger role. yeah true but goes to show that central asia was NOT a semi desert region as it is today. As for andronovo replacing them i think Botai went away from history books because of the migration associated with afanasievo culture, its...
  13. What if Rome discovered America?

    You know, don't get me wrong because this is an awesome idea in theory, and I think I know where you're trying to go with it. It's not implausible, but unrealistic if you're expecting dispatches from Caesar musing about what they found across the ocean while he's campaigning in Gaul, or...
  14. AHC: Larger Canada

    To state that they were pro-British, IIRC.
  15. WI: socialist parties in Germany and France oppose WW1?

    The European left in general toed the line of their respective parliaments. The SPD in Germany voted nearly unanimously for war credits, Britain's Labour party voted in favour of a government request for £100 million in war credits, Belgian leftists (from what I understand) supported King...
  16. The German Century

    Let‘s not get ahead of ourselves. Crossing the Rhine and the various other rivers on the way there is not going to be easy. This isn‘t OTL‘s 1945. I also fail to see how Britain alone (Market Garden was one Brit and two US abn divisions along with one Polish brigade) could manage to airdrop...

    Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    They may have aluminum/aluminium settled, but what about the worse illuftium/elluftium dilemma?
  18. Pop Culture Oneshot Scenarios

    The Twilight Zone (1959) - Season 4, Episode 12: The Geezenstacks: (Based on a short story from Frederic Brown, adapted for television by Richard Matheson) A little girl, Audrey Wilson, is given a dollhouse by her father, Sam, for her 9th birthday (who had acquired it from a local estate sale of...
  19. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Matilda II is here to stay, for now at least. For a start Britain need the tanks and it is a lot faster to keep building Matilda II's than it is to switch those lines over too Valiant's. A point will come when the value of the Matilda as a tank is lower than the value of the production line...

    Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    When the war first broke out, Denmark was convinced it would get massive foreign support from both Russia, Britain and Sweden-Norway. Russia and Britain made it clear pretty early on that wasn't going to happen, but even fairly late in the war a lot of Danes expected their Scandinavian brethern...
