    How strong a military would Belgium have needed to remain neutral in 1914?

    That Belgium was badly unprepared in 1914 is hardly a secret. Its field forces were ill equipped, desperately short of artillery and machine guns, and only sparsely officered. War plans were thin to the point of barely existing, and mobilization schemes existed in a half-baked state of disarray...

    What if the United States had adopted Jefferson's decimalized system of measurements?

    The Metric system and the United States has been something that pops up with some degree of regularity on AH. As such, I thought it might be worth asking what the global and local effects would be if America didn't use traditional units - but rather than supposing an adoption of the metric...

    In late February, 1942, the situation was grim in the Philippines. US forces had been pushed back into an increasingly vulnerable position in the Bataan Peninsula.

    AHC: USS Wolverine and Sable see combat

    The USS Wolverine and Sable. Training carriers converted from Great Lake-steamers, they were the only paddle-wheel aircraft carriers ever to see service.

The general idea I have is that Japan keeps the entire island following the end of the intervention in the Russian Civil War (they held the northern parts of the island OTL...

    Looking for Sealion debunks

    I know that there are a few good debunks of the plausibility of Sealion but for the life of me I can't seem to track them down. In particular I'm looking for one that went into great detail on the planned German invasion transports, logistics if they landed, and the state of the British...
