  1. WI chemical weapons were not banned ...

    Anti colonial revolts are going to be suppressed in an ugly manner. Also Italy and Japan wouldn't have been so shy using chess and biologicals against Ethiopia and China.

  2. Bigger French Population

    Very possible. Also with more settlers would north africa be integrated better? That would be like Britain's India, a source of workers that understood what the French would require of them and know the language. Would have Barbers in sub Sahara Africa maybe?

  3. WI: Southern Rhodesia joined South Africa in 1922

    There is a point where apartheid became too rigid and not beneficial. By the 80s it was Def s crazy idea to try and continue it. But in 1970 did it look crazy? I don't know.

  4. WI: Southern Rhodesia joined South Africa in 1922

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. But it's one thing to think that in the 40s and actually implement it in the 70s. Communism can certainly make this tricky and may give case to not cede control.

  5. WI: Southern Rhodesia joined South Africa in 1922

    Would be interesting, as there weren't many examples of minority rule being transferred over. Wonder if with stability and if they take it slow enough, but not too slow to ensure that white flight doesn't happen. Which would help keep the economy sound and society stable. Wonder if it could be...

  6. Confederate victory at Sharpsburg, What happens next?

    This I Newt Gingrichs book does the best with a WI about Lee in Maryland. After Gettysburg but anyhow. Taking Baltimore was possible, but that ends up being a millstone. As it's far away and bard to defend, us it's a Harbor and the Union has naval superiority. The more Lee takes in Maryland...

  7. Bigger French Population

    Wonder if they'd make a quarter or fearing being integrated, would move somewhere else where they could be the dominate group. Think the Germans in southern Brazil maybe. And when France and Britain cozy up, you might see some French immigration to Australia or NZ. Wouldn't take that many to...

  8. Bigger French Population

    Would be interesting to see a larger French diaspora. As outside a few spots there basilisk one. Would this larger group look to France as the cultural north pole, or would they drift away

  9. WI:Portugal joins the allies?

    Would be a waste. Until late 42 Portugal would be wary of sudden German and or Spanish attacks. This would tie down Wallied assets in protecting Portugal from such threats. Would be a net drain outside of the azores imho

  10. How would a Kuomintang-controlled China change the Cold War?

    China turned insular iotl but this nationalist govt wouldn't. What would be the effect on how the Chinese diaspora views China? They'd probably not be cool with the ethic rioting in Indonesia for one.

  11. Spanish tercio vs Ottoman field army

    I feel that after Mochas or however it's spelled, was the last good ottoman won on the west that wasn't a siege. After that the ottomans usually just put a massive force in the field and western armies yielded the field or retired to a fortress. It's seems the criticism of the Ottomans is that...

  12. Confederate victory at Sharpsburg, What happens next?

    Is It? Even in summer? Didn't know that, thanks.

  13. Spanish tercio vs Ottoman field army

    They did fight each other at Malta. The relief force fought a pitched battle on Sept 11 and pushed the ottomans back and they left the island after that. Problem is the ottomans were so exhausted, I'm sure modern reenactors could beat them. These were guys who were probably wounded, sick and...

  14. Confederate victory at Sharpsburg, What happens next?

    I agree with everything else, but it's the susquehanna pretty shallow? I've never forded it but it always seemed pretty shallow to me. A mile wide and a foot deep they say iirc

  15. Confederate victory at Sharpsburg, What happens next?

    Just raid. Get supplies, burn stuff and try to get back to NV in early fall without another major engagement. This helps NV recover and the loot would help the supply situation

  16. How to make Justinians conquests last longer

    I say go even slower. Justinian should have grabbed the Balkans up to modern Croatia, and stopped there. In NA take Tunis and stop. Take Sicily and stop. All easy to garrison and defend from ERE. Build up and develop said areas. Let a successor conquer Italy. He did too much too fast and it...

  17. WI: George W. Bush dies in office

    What would the lefts reaction be? As was clearly seen, they wanted him dead. I lived around DC at the time of W, and I heard many off hand comments stating as much. Would these people back track and suddenly become flag waving Republicans out of fear of reprisal? The ground level dynamic would...

  18. WI- A MAGA Hitler instead of genocide

    The Nazis had levers to pull. No more payments to the Wallies, and reoccupation of the Rhineland would help. Plus if they can just create stability, that goes much further than you'd think. Stability breeds economic success. Or at least creates a fertile ground that it can be grown in.

  19. WI- A MAGA Hitler instead of genocide

    If Germany doesn't wreck it's self via a massive war, then it would become an economic powerhouse of Europe. It'd be like Germany now but with more people and more industries that weren't wrecked

  20. Effects of a Japanese attack on the USSR in World War 2

    They could push a bit into areas around manchuria, give the TSRR was there, plus some transit assets coming out of manchuria. Still it's not that much deeper.
