  1. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Interesting development for the TL as I remember a space-themed documentary series from the 90s that mentioned the original European efforts to join the space race amounted to flop after flop while launching from Woomera.

  2. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Hardly surprising that Berlin gets reunited before Germany does, since when the authoritarian planned economy is surrounded by a more market-orientated but liberal nation that can be reached in the space of a day on foot in any direction, it'd be a lot harder to keep the populace in since the...

  3. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Were the circumstances in the ISR inspired by any socio-political developments OTL?

  4. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    That helps prevent the GOP from being a problem for the USA's diplomatic relations.

  5. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    From what I've read about these politicans: ITTL Butler's premiership would be noted primarily for reforms on the subject of what constitutes a capital offense. Gaitskell's premiership would probably lead to some friction within what would pass for NATO ITTL due to his favouring a policy of...

  6. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Indeed, in the earlier Shogunate period at least, there were actually four different categories of legitimate motives for performing seppuku. Self-shame for failing others, 'sticking it to the man', fanatical affection for someone who recently died or 'railing against the heavens'.

  7. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Problem #1: Traditional Japanese culture holds that to surrender is the greatest shame one can perform. Problem #2: How to punish the political authority of a nation without targeting the ordinary people is still a major hurdle in the 21st century, let alone in the age where aerial bombing had...

  8. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    I've got this picture of a Pacific equivalent to Market Garden.

  9. Better names for US warships

    Some of these are probably found OTL, but how's about...? Battleships named after key principles of the federal republic (e.g. USS Democracy, USS Emancipation, USS Secular) Aircraft Carriers named after battles won by the USA (e.g. USS Gettysburg, USS Yorktown, USS Midway) Cruisers named after...

  10. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    From what I've heard, the real deciding factor OTL for the Japanese High Command to cease and desist with their bushido attitude towards the war was the threat of occupation by the Red Army, although the Bombs might've pushed them more thoroughly in that direction anyway.

  11. WI: George Washington Speaks Out Against Slavery While President

    Huh, it seems the exact opposite it stipulated in most sources, but I could've sworn I heard a US history teacher affirm that she was against the manumission.

  12. WI: George Washington Speaks Out Against Slavery While President

    From what I've heard about the matter, if Washington had publicly denounced slavery and somebody tried to counter-point him on the grounds of his being a slave owner, he might've made an attempt to set an example but was frustrated by his wife's refusal to do without slaves.

  13. WI: If Joan of Arc lived for longer

    It would certainly be considered miraculous if she not only survives to 128 but manages to keep a prominent position in the French army.

  14. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    I hope someone round here's got the skills to effectively depict the post-war borders of TTL when the time comes.

  15. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    And if the Conservatives get into power as per OTL, they'll have to face the electorate's reaction to the Great Smog of '52.

  16. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    Was it, perchance, Scrapheap Challenge?

  17. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    You're implying that SHAEF was established after the D-Day landings. Is there any way for West Berlin to remain in a sensible democracy and not end up as an enclave inside a dictatorship/oligarchy? Also, why would Patton end up commanding an actual force for D-Day when everyone in the top...

  18. Munich Shuffle: 1938-1942

    I keep confusing the USS Nevada with the USS Arizona. I thought the memorial was in response to the commander's decision to run his ship aground to prevent compromising channel access.

  19. Dewey Defeats Truman And Saves The Railroads!

    When you mentioned Hoover's removal from his position as director of the FBI my thoughts were "it would be a perfectly understandable typo if it read like he was the dictator of the FBI."

  20. WI: Railroads Break the Color Line in 1948?

    I really struggle to comprehend the faff involved with the removal of the Jim Crow trash. I'd assumed that the aftermath of the Holocaust would highlight just how dreadful bigotry was to the point that Congress would have no choice but to arrange matters with the FBI to stamp out racist policies...
