  1. Could A Sino-American War Have Started During The Cold War?

    It really depends on what "quadruple" means. The militia system remains in place, and most Mainland Chinese university freshmen received a very rudimentary form of military training for about a month in the summer before they start real university life. But that obviously is not equal to formal...

  2. Could A Sino-American War Have Started During The Cold War?

    Kinmen was an interesting episode, as an element of luck was involved in the PLA invasion forces being discovered. An interesting 'What if" scenario is that what if PLA made another invasion attempt later with more landing vessels?

  8. Defensive Soviet military doctrine

    The WP had advantage on land until late 70s, which then decline. Interestingly, the WP reached closer to parity in air in the 80s, but that is the point where NATO land forces improved to the point an WP mostly conventional (with chemcials) attack would be at best 50:50 affair.

  9. Defensive Soviet military doctrine

    Really depends on the era you talking about. There were times that WP is close to parity on land and air with NATO.

  10. Defensive Soviet military doctrine

    And let Soviet paranoia ran wild as it was the West German who advocated for forward defence. One should also take note of the effect of WWII to Soviet psych.

  11. Which criteria does a language need to meet in order to be a lingua franca?

  12. Hitler found Alive in Argentina in 1969

  13. What would a nuclear war in 2014 have looked like

    Such notion is not supported by current research on Russian nuclear strategy. https://www.nonproliferation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Nikolai-Sokov-Russian-Nuclear-Strategy.pdf https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01402390.2020.1818070

  15. Vietnam war with Allied troops

    @Rfl23 Which is not relevant as Chinese aid to North Vietnam was not affected by the Cultural Revolution. Foreign aids to RVN and DVR during Vietnam War is a well-researched area and it is easy to obtain academic articles on this issue...

  16. Vietnam war with Allied troops

    I would hardly call committing atrocities against Vietnamese civilian and not viewed highly by US and ARVN officers as " well". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea_in_the_Vietnam_War http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/988399.html

  17. AHC: Royal/Imperial US President

  18. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    Internet is not a good place to look for such info unless you are using academic/ oriented sites. If you do not have access to a research library, I recommend the Askhistorian subreddit, which is moderated to a very strict standard. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/

  19. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period

    In the 1970s when the whole PRC was engaged in political chaos? The PLAN only truly learned missile-era naval warfare in late 1970s.

  20. More Helicopter/light carriers in post ww2 period
