    Queen Elizabeth I Feminist

    this also I believe that Elizabeth believed she had the right to rule because she was Henry VIII's daughter and God's anointed Queen not because she believed any every woman was equally up for a job as a man, she believed no less than any one else of her age in the gendered structure of her...

    Iran-Contra, a second Watergate

    so these days Watergate is a house hold word, "gate" is a suffix for every scandal and upset in politics, but Iran-Contra is largely forgotten, even though Cabinet members ended up convicted and others served time, is there any way that Iran-Contra could have been as big as Watergate, destroyed...

    WI: Israel does not withdraw fully from Sinai

    there was a rather large air base there, the Israeli raid of Iraq's nuclear program in 1981 was launched from Sinai, an act that the Israelis were scared would end Israeli-Egyptian peace and kill the handover, but felt that the risk of nuclear Iraq was great enough to spoil relations with Egypt...

    AHC/PC: Azkenazi Jewish state in Pre-Unification Germany

    after the Rhineland massacres of 1096 the Jewish population of Germany dropped a lot and was never very large afterward, at unification in 1871 the Jewish population was 512,000, Germany's population was 41 million past that they didn't really live all in one place so, yeah...

    Ireland still in the UK

    its always been my gut feeling that a majority even in 1919 didn't support independence, SF won because the IPP fell apart due to massive scandal and their was popular anger at the British government over the draft, but if you look at the public reaction to the Easter Rising I think you get a...

    Latest PoD for a British Victory in the American Revolution

    depends what "victory" means to you, if it means no American victory, than 1781, if it means British control of all of the United States, then I guess 1778

    could the American Revolution have failed in 1781?

    I agree that by 1781-83 its basically too late for all the States to fold back into becoming colonies in any way, that said, some could be, Georgia for example, South Carolina maybe, Vermont for sure, and for sure the British could hold onto the Ohio and Mid-western area now if they could...

    could the American Revolution have failed in 1781?

    I think the issue would be states making or trying to make separate peaces from the rest of the united States, at the time there were rumors that Ethan Allen was on the edge of declaring Vermont for the British and Allen and other leading Vermonters were meeting on that very subject with Quebec...

    could the American Revolution have failed in 1781?

    so I just finished Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy's great book "The Men Who Lost America" and in talking about 1781 he brought up that the Congress was totally broke in 1781, as were the states, that their paper money was viewed as worth less than "oak leafs" (i.e. toilet paper) Virginia was so...

    Vietnam War query

    the "arm chair generals fucked it up!" line is largely a myth, I mean short of an invasion of North Vietnam itself, or the use of nuclear weapons, we did EVERYthing, we bombed and invaded Laos and Cambodia, and dropped enough bombs on NV to pave the whole country in 6 inches of steel. any...

    WI: US resupplies South Vietnam?

    but the US was funding them, a lot, it was like the door closed all at once, for a year between the pull out 1973 and Nixon stepping down in 1974 the US was fixed at a billion a year, in August 1974, Congress voted to reduce that yearly out put to 700 million, the 1974 mid-terms the new congress...

    WI: US resupplies South Vietnam?

    19 months is "quite a while" ? more so when you realize that the North never went on a full offensive in December 1974, NV thought it would take them 5 years to over run SV, it took less than 2
