  1. Parity between USA and CSA?

    By 1860 the combination of relative population, rail expansion, and industrialization had vastly favored the north. Was there a point where the North had little to no relative advantage? If so, what was the latest point where such a hypothetical could be fought on even terms? I am guessing...

  8. WI No A-bombs dropped on Japan

    Japan surrenders after Soviet invasion of Manchuria and WWII ends the same but without dropping the bomb. 1) Are nukes viewed through the same moral lense as OTL where there is a distinction between WWII style total war and total war involving a-bombs? 2) Does the US nuke China in 1950/1951...

  9. WI Colin Powell runs and wins the Republican nomination in 2000 or 2008?
