  1. Could Swedish and Finnish gold be mined in 1700?

    Could the gold deposits in Northern Sweden and in Finland have been mined around the year 1700? I'm finding it difficult finding what the geological nature of the deposits are, like the depth or type of ore. Plz help.

  2. Info on the Finances of the Swedish Empire 1680-1720?

    Does anyone have any links/screenshots/book recommendations on the finances of the Swedish Empire during it's Great Power period? In particular I'm looking for info on their German and Baltic possessions, under the Wittelsbach's. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  3. What would a native Germanic (Non-Christian) civilization look like?

    I'm trying to brainstorm what an indigenous German civilization would look like without the introduction of Christianity, or conquest by Rome. Latin or Greek influences are acceptable, but the origin of the civilization can't be forced from outside powers or copied wholesale. Any ideas what such...

  4. Soviet Civil War if Stalin dies in 1939/40?

    If Stalin were to suddenly die sometime after the start of WW2 but before 1941 would the Soviet Union have degenerated into civil war? I have no idea what the factions of power blocs of the Soviet regime of the time were like, other than everything revolved around The Boss, so if he died would...

  5. Steam powered rams in Hellenistic/Roman period?

    Question is: Would it have been possible for the Greeks/Romans to develop a steam engine - independent of other technological advances - capable of powering a steam ram?

  6. Reaction to uninterrupted Plan R-4 (Allied invasion of Norway)

    What would have been the likely reaction in Europe and America to the 'preemptive' invasion of Norway by the Allies without the coincidental German invasion? Would this have pushed the Norwegians and/or Swedes into an alliance with Germany? Would Norway even fight back? What would the reaction...

  7. Why is there so little Iron in California?

    Other than Iron Mountain in the far north of the Central valley and deposits in the Mohave, I can't find any evidence for iron mining in the entire state, which seems very bizarre for a state of California's size. I feel like there would have been at least some small deposits elsewhere, but...

  8. Revised Planetos. New and Improved!

    Gentlemen! Behold! So, finally fed up at looking at the stupid 'Official' maps of Planetos, I went and made my own. By which I mean I took a white/blue map off the internet and messed around with it in MS Paint like a real artist. I'll go ahead and list the things I've changed and why I...

  9. WI Boers had Machine guns in the Second Boer War?

    So lets say the Boers purchase some machine guns in preparation for the war with the Empire. Specifically Colt 1895 models (these came in 7x57 Mauser, which is the same cartridge as the Mauser rifles the Z.A.R had purchased from Germany). Lets say a battery for every Commando, which I believe...

  11. Am I the only one offended by S.M. Stirlings Emberverse series?

    I love S.M. Stirlings books. I loved the General series, I loved the Peshawar lancers, I loved the ISOT series. I'm sure most people on this site are great fans of his writing just as I am. But, I cannot help but be deeply disturbed by the Emberverse series. I enjoyed the writing, the...

  12. Cost of reconstruction

    Does anyone have a link to - or is privy of - information regarding the overall cost of reconstruction of the American South following the Civil War. Specifically, was it a 'net loss' economically speaking to reabsorb the former Confederate states during the reconstruction era?
