  1. Explain the AH Quote

    Once a leading figure in American evangelical circles, the Southern Baptist preacher's career came to an end with this admission before the Board of Directors of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association on Thursday, April 10, 1969. He was forced to address and confirm rumors that he had...

  2. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    In OTL, British author P.G. Wodehouse famously created the butler character named Jeeves. He was enormously popular in the US and UK until World War II. He was living in France at the time of that nation's fall to Nazi Germany and was interned for the rest of the war. He made certain recordings...

  3. AH Cultural Descriptions

    Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, retreated from the public eye after his 1992 separation from the fabulously popular Princess Diana. Humiliated by the subsequent divorce and the Queen's withering criticism of his handling of his marriage, he disengaged from many of his royal...

  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    In OTL, East Asian traditional martial arts came to the United States and Europe from Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong after World War II. They proliferated in the 1970s, launching many schools and federations of schools, in large part due to the popularity of movies that featured these martial...

  5. AHC: A World War crisis for every nation

    Liechtenstein: on May 2, 1945, the remnants of the Russian National Army (a pro-German force that fought the Soviet Union) under Boris Smyslovsky flee into Liechtenstein and are granted asylum by Prince Franz-Joseph II. That tiny nation refuses to hand over these men to the Soviet Union. In our...

  6. AHC: make Britain reconquer the United States by military means

    Off the top of my head and loosely based on the sizes of the armies deployed during the War of 1812, I'd say at least 60,000 British troops. A much smaller number could occupy the major port cities, but subduing the interior would, as the British discovered during the War for Independence...

  7. AHC: make Britain reconquer the United States by military means

    I'm uncertain about British motivations to launch such a war of reconquest instead of simply breaking up the US into manageable client states. But a hard enough America-screw could make it weak enough for a conquest to be feasible. Let's try this sequence: There's never a strong federal...

  8. John Wayne for President '68

    This is an interesting and novel premise. It would help if you added paragraph breaks to make it easier to read the text.

  9. AHC: Russian Invasion of America

    Would a Russian token contribution to the British war effort in North America in 1813 or 1814 qualify? Or does your challenge require a standalone Russian force?

  10. A German Hiroo Onoda?

    Yes, Norway. And, specifically, Svalbard if it was never retaken by the Allies with a thorough effort. A German holdout could survive for a few years if he was exceptionally skilled at living off the land in subarctic conditions.

  11. AHC: Have a US state secede in the 20th century

    The post-apocalyptic novel Warday imagines life in the United States five years after a nuclear war in 1983. The US prevailed over the USSR, but is economically devastated as a result of the nuclear exchange. Alaska, cut off from the lower 48, joins Canada. If memory serves, the US sells Alaska...

  12. What if the British had kept New Ireland from Maine after the War of 1812?

    Agreed. Even if the US is able to somehow take Upper and Lower Canada during the first year of the war through incredible good luck and Isaac Brock somehow dying at the outset, it still won't be able to hold Canada. The Royal Navy will still hold Halifax and continue to strangle the American...

  13. DBWI: Star Trek: The Next Generation Is Renewed for a Second Season

    Perhaps it's for the best that there was no Star Trek V for that reason, too. I doubt if Congressman Takei's career would ever have gotten off the ground if he had kept at acting in a failing franchise.

  14. DBWI: Star Trek: The Next Generation Is Renewed for a Second Season

    Perhaps it would have been better to give Star Trek a serial, rather than episodic basis. The five seasons in Will Meugniot and Jeff Segal's Exosquad series showed that there was a strong market for long, complex, science fiction stories.

  15. DBWI: Star Trek: The Next Generation Is Renewed for a Second Season

    Yeah, if the captain was going to be an Englishman who plays a Frenchman, then perhaps it would have been better to go with Rick Berman's idea of casting the stage actor Ian McKellen as Captain Picard.

  16. DBWI: Star Trek: The Next Generation Is Renewed for a Second Season

    Younger folks might not know this, but there used to be a popular science fiction franchise called Star Trek. It began with a TV series that aired from 1966-1969 on NBC. It was about the mostly human crew of a spaceship going on adventures in space two hundred years into the future. Although it...

  17. St. Thomas conquers Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula and establishes a Christian Kingdom

    Did St. Thomas have such a large and wealthy following as to be capable of equipping such an invasion force?

  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Did the British occupation of the Faroe Islands continue throughout the end of the war? Did Denmark resume control over them after the restoration of civilian, native government to that country?

  19. AHC: You'll Be Back...

    When General Prevost invaded Upstate New York in 1814, the British were fairly popular in Vermont. His fleet was built with Vermont wood and many of his supplies came from that state, too. One of his objectives was to drive the border between New York and Quebec south. Assuming that he is...

  20. AHC: Have a general become president after Eisenhower.

    I remember reading at the time the rumor around Washington that Colin Powell wanted to run, but Alma Powell was completely opposed.
