  1. AHC: Possible PODs regarding the Gundam franchise...

    As we all know, the Gundam franchise is one of the most well-known franchises in sci-fi/anime/Japanese pop culture in general, being described as the "Japanese equivalent of Star Trek/Star Wars". It has been highly influential on various aspects of pop culture, particularly in Japan, what with...

  2. WI Sonic remained in 2D?

    As we all know, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise had a very problematic transition to 3D (the "Polygon Ceiling", as it was known as), which was said to be resolved with Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, for the most part... I know that Sonic transitioning to 3D was somewhat inevitable...

  3. What happens if Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was never made?

    According to TvTropes (from which I've read), the failure of the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was basically a negative turning point for Square Soft, as it delayed the upcoming merger with Enix to form Square Enix, led to the loss of tons of money, and most notably, led to Hironobu...

  4. WI De Gaulle actually went through with his threat?

    So I was reading this book, The Making of a World Trading Power, and I came upon the frustration that the French were having over German foot-dragging over determining grain prices, and as a result of the frustration, de Gaulle threatened to dissolve the EEC (I think this was in July 1963 this...

    (I'm considering US-allied countries here, because it's obvious that Russia and China were against...) As we all know, the Iraq War was supported by a whole bunch of countries, most notably the UK, Australia, Poland, Italy, and Spain, while other countries, most notably France, Germany, and...

  8. Why wasn't EFTA that "successful"?

    Back in the earlier years of European integration (1960s), there were the "inner 6" (West Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, and Italy), who were the founder members of the ECSC and EEC, as well as the "outer 7" (Austria, United Kingdom, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark...

  9. WI Spain in EEC earlier?

    I've read in some places (maybe not correct info) that Spain tried to apply to join the EEC in the 1960s, but were rejected due to them not being a democracy (as it was still under Franco's regime). What happens if Spain's application was accepted instead?

  10. More reconciled South Korea and Japan?

    Based on this article: http://asiansecurityblog.wordpress.com/2012/04/29/why-dont-korean-and-japan-align-even-though-ir-says-they-should/ As this article states, and from any brief overview of East Asian news, Japan and South Korea, despite both being US-aligned, having common threats to deal...
