  1. WI British take all of Louisiana

    It would certainly be profitable for them to do so. Despite cottage industries in new England and the middle colonies, the 13 colonies were overwhelmingly dependent upon England for manufactured goods. Westward expansion means importing more tools, rifles, and plows etc. With control over the...

  2. WI British take all of Louisiana

    It certainly might end up butterflying away the revolution. With control of the Mississippi, Britain has a considerably larger incentive to accelerate the settlement of the northwest territory. This will likely render the Quebec act stillborn, and enable the ohio territory to remain as a...

  3. Leningrad Falls in German hands on Sept 15, 1941

    But even with a successful encirclement and surrender, Leningrad is still at the logistical edge of the German lines. For the short term, a major working port is a significant boon. Also, German officers have their own selfish reasons for delaying the destruction of the metropolis. Leningrad...

  4. AHC: Keep Music Good

    How about rendering the boy-band boom of the late 90's and early 00's stillborn. Lou Pearlman getting busted for pederasty might do it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Pearlman

  5. No Schlieffen Plan

    Most of France's iron, much of its coal, and Belgium's accumulated stockpiles of nitrates.

  6. Leningrad Falls in German hands on Sept 15, 1941

    Yes, the civilian population will almost immediately begin to be liquidated. But allocating the engineers, explosives and the time for the annihilation of Leningrad is considerably more materially expensive than holocaust rail prioritizations. The fate of Leningrad is likely to be similar to the...

  7. Leningrad Falls in German hands on Sept 15, 1941

    True, but provided the war on the eastern front is still occuring, the immediate strategic reality will likely prevent such fever dreams from immediately occurring. Lenningrad's port facilities are likely to be put towards immediate use, and it will likely serve as a significant supply depot and...

  8. DBWI: US doesn't get Baja California?

    Well there are certain to be some cultural changes. Baja has never been a wealthy or strategically important state. However, Baja was the first state to legalize gambling with Tijauna becoming known as the American Monaco. Baja has long been the place where Southern Californians could go for a...

  9. Strongest possible WWI Russia

    True...he was as bad at Foreign policy, international relations, and PR as Tsar Nicholas was at governance.

  10. Anglo-Mexican Alliance in Mexican-American War

    There is simply the question of why. California didn't exactly have a large population prior to the Mexican American war, nor did it have much of value prior to the Gold Rush. Whatever the investments made by independent British businessmen, there is the question of whether they would be worth...

  11. Strongest possible WWI Russia

    I heartily concur. A stronger Russia is likely to tombstone the Schlieffen Plan. When it becomes apparent that Russia can adequately mobilize (and consequently supply) a generally mobilized military, the pipe dream of quickly knocking out France before pivoting east becomes completely...

  12. WI:Pizza is invented in Germany not in Italy

    Trench bread

  13. American Culture

    Because people are hardwired to like the taste of sweet, and corn syrup is one of the cheaper filler ingredients you can add to a product while improving its desirability.

  14. Keep Solid South

    Well the democrats have some rural blocks, the drift less area up to Lacrosse and the old iron counties also go democratic.

  15. DBWI Eiffel Tower Still Stood

    I find it to be a beautiful architectural piece, but then again I'm a vulgar American. We gave the world the skyscraper, pioneered jazz and art deco while mostly keeping to our own hemisphere at least until the European powder keg blew up in 38'

  16. French India: Cultural Effects on France?

    Strange and delicious curries at that, resplendent with wine, dairy, and herbs.

  17. AHC: Corporation with sovereignty

    For that matter, what about the Congo Free State?

  18. DBWI: Business plot fails

    The cultural revolution was regrettable. Nevertheless its population transfers enabled our negro brothers to finally obtain self rule after 300 years of oppression. The population transfers were essential towards the settlement of Alaska and the Dakotas, turning them into centers of agriculture...

  19. US Supported Ho Chi Minh

    I'm sorry but that is not going to happen. Whatever influence the US might have had post WWI, it is not capable of pushing the decolonization line (or willing, as America had its own defacto empire) There is no way that either Britain or France will be willing to surrender their colonial...

  20. WI No Picasso?

    Fair enough. I'm better with film than "art".
