  1. Jan 1973... A Better Future For South Vietnam

    So, historically, peak troop level was in 1969, 545,000 troops... so you're saying, that's the first year, second year, 1970, 1,090,000 troops third year, 1971, 2,180,000 troops fourth year, 1972, 4,360,000 troops. Right. So, what you're saying is that the USA could have won in the...

  2. "Fascist" Australia

    Yes, but Ireland became independent as the result of centuries of revolt against England. They were members of the Commonwealth only because they had to be. As soon as they got a chance, they pulled out a declared themselves a full republic, 1948 or so. Whereas Australia became independent...

  3. "Fascist" Australia

    Some of their supporters were a bit confused in this regard. Just ask Monash. No-one was really sure who the national leader was, though the book Defending the National Tuckshop, which talks about them, strongly implies that it was Blamey, at that time Police Commissioner for Victoria, later...

  4. The AH Times (New Game)

    "No Guarantee," says Bush Naval Skirmishes in Taiwan Straits Reuters- Speak from his Camp David retreat, President Bush stated that, following Congressional consultations, the United States was not in a position to guarantee that it would defend Taiwan against attack, in the event of an...

  5. No neo-Nazi Holocaust denialism/revisionism

    Wel, to be clear, Morgenthau himself was born in NYC, as you can see at the US Treasury Dept's website, giving his bio. Morgenthau's dad was German by birth, being born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1856, son of Lazarus Morgenthau, who emigrated to the USA in 1866. Henry Sr was US Ambassador to...

  6. Africa as economic miracle post-1945

    Yes, because ethnically and religiously homogenous countries never have any trouble. You know, like that great peaceful well-run economic powerhouse Somalia. All one tribe. All one religion. And a complete fucking mess. And then there's the USA, which is multicultural, and has the...

  7. WI: The Sino-Soviet border clashes of 1969 escalated into war?

    Check out this site, which gives a whole load of declassified US documents talking about the crisis. Worth checking out if you want any kind of historical accuracy.

  8. Arthur I of England and the Tudor Empire

    Well, yet get Yet Another War of Spanish Succession. France only just finished kicking Britain out of most of French lands, but there's still some English around Calais, etc. They certainly won't put up with the King of England running Spain! Given how Henry VIII's wars against France turned...

  9. No neo-Nazi Holocaust denialism/revisionism

    Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill once discussed the possibility that, when they took over Germany, they could just shoot out of hand everyone in the German government, and about 50,000 SS guys. Churchill's memoirs say Stalin suggested it, but he protested against the inhumanity of the plan...

  10. No Hutu-Tutsi racial classification

    There is one, and only one, state in sub-Saharan Africa which is ethnically uniform. All its people are from the same "tribe", they all have the same religion. It's called Somalia. Not generally known as a model of "domestic stability." Ethnicity is merely the excuse; there are other...

  11. WI Austrian United Germany?

    Austrian victory at Konigrattz/Sadowa in 1866 might just do it. Absolutely trouncing the Prussians. Brings the southern German states closer to Austria. Prussia remains out of the German Confederation, of which the Austrian King was Emperor. Leads to some new sort of Confederation, with more...

  12. WI the USSR had landed on the moon?

    No, thanks. I write rpgs nowadays, so I get enough flaming from geeks already :p

  13. WI the USSR had landed on the moon?

    As I discovered after writing the scenario. But no matter, the exact reason they die on the moon isn't terribly important. The important facts are, 1) Kennedy's goal was to land a man on the moon, and return him safely to earth. A one-way suicide mission isn't the American way. 2) After...

  14. No Revolution, but a Civil War?

    Don't forget that a lot of the South consisted of the Louisiana Purchase, and the lands won off the Mexicans in 1848. Supposing Britain keeps the Thirteen Colonies, then French Louisiana has to be conquered off Napoleon, instead of sold by him to the USA in 1803. So, Britain holding on to the...

  15. The DMZ War escalates

    What makes the '66 Sov-China clashes last until 1970? What are the results of that, Chinese victory or defeat? In either case, how does the USSR feel about the prospect of a US-friendly state, with vast numbers of US troops, sitting on its border - united Korea?

  16. WWIII in Kosovo?

    Found this old BBC article about Gen Clarke getting overexcited about the Russians taking over Pristina airport in Kosovo, and thought it might interest you guys, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/671495.stm

  17. Kennedy the Drug Addict

    No, I have not broken my vow never to post a scenario involving the Gang of Four of Alternate History. I just saw an interesting documentary last night. This was Altered Statesmen. From their programme summary, In regards to the amphetamines, what happened was that Kennedy had one leg...

  18. Rules/Cliches of AH

    Check out, Abyssinia Triumphant. About a stronger Ethiopia. It manages to become a sort of Argentina of Africa - well-off, but beholden to Britain economically, and still not exactly an industrial powerhouse. I have sworn never to write an Alternate History from the Gang of Four, that foul...

  19. A Change is as Good as a Rest...

    No-one in Europe has cared who exactly the ruling family of a place is since... about 1763. The Franco-Prussian War was ostensibly about the Spanish Succession, but in reality... The ruling families of the German states aren't going to bitch about Hohenzollern power because the...

  20. A Change is as Good as a Rest...

    WIlly won't be the Great Man of Europe. By 1916, Ludendorff and Hindenberg were effectively military dictators of Germany. The day before the Chancellor sent the notice that Willy had abdicated (he hadn't, but the Chancellor wasn't going to wait for him to do it), Willy specifically said to...
