  1. AHC: Make Russian an accepted part of the west.

    Greece does not have a large population of Asiatics. Its the combination of both that pushes Russia further east in the minds of the western powers

  2. AHC: Make Russian an accepted part of the west.

    Never, sadly. Too much Asian territory and foundational history with the Eastern Orthodox Church. Need to change everything about Russia to the point where it wouldn't be Russia anymore.

  3. WI/AHC: A More Prosperous USA (pre-Mexican American war)

    Your challenge, should you accept it, is to make the USA a more prosperous nation, specifically prior Mexican-American war. Bonus points if you can devise a way to make it happen without any conquests of Canada, or non-OTL territory acquisition in general. By prosperous I mean competing or...

  4. Barbarossa without the Great Purge

    I might be in the minority here but I do wonder if, without The Great Purge and the downright terror in the command structure it created, if the Red Army would've actually cracked under the insane military gains made at the outset of Barbarossa. I mean cracked in the sense of causing enough...

  5. Red Alert - Our 1953 USSR

    I like where this is headed. Zhukov wouldve been my vote for storylines sake. In reality though I doubt he'd be considered by the political elite of the party, fear of potential Bonapartism and all. Regardless he has the admiration (love?) of the entire Red Army at his disposal. With the...

  6. WW2/Cold War if Alaska had been part of the USSR?

    Ok relax. I'm not defending US foreign policy as it pertained to the outcome of Spanish-American war here. Only defending my point that wars of outright aggression were not something that the US did around the time frame posed by OP.

  7. WW2/Cold War if Alaska had been part of the USSR?

    The point of the Spanish American war was the liberation of the Cubans

  8. Could fascism survive to the present without WW2?

    Spain wasnt a Fascist country. The Falange were in coalition with the other conservative powers.

  9. WW2/Cold War if Alaska had been part of the USSR?

    The US was in active war with the Spanish. You're talking about the US marching into colonial Russia for the sake of taking territory for territory's sake.

  10. Could fascism survive to the present without WW2?

    But none have ever done so. None. All came to power and maintained said power by utilizing foreign policy assperations as a major political tenant. Also Fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia before Germany did anything on the international stage.

  11. WW2/Cold War if Alaska had been part of the USSR?

    I see no cause for either the USA or UK to seize Alaska for no reason. 1 the UK didn't want it when it was offered to them IOTL and 2 the US isn't in the business of invading and taking the territory of European power for the lulz. Foreign entanglements and all. Plus there are a bunch of...

  12. Could fascism survive to the present without WW2?

    Ehhh, name which one's didn't have some type of imperial or revanchist goals.

  13. WI/AHC: Baader-Meinhof group leads a successful revolution in West Germany?

    It's 1977 and the group also known colloquially as the Red Army Faction (RAF) successfully inspires the proletariat/soldiers of West Germany to rise up after a series of attacks similar to the ones IOTL. What happens in the immediate aftermath? What sort groundwork would be needed to make this...

  14. How "should" WWII in 1940 have gone?

    In truth, France shouldve halted the Germans before they reached Paris. The Ardennes offensive was a stroke of genius and it's successful enaction was an illustration of Germans excellent ability to execute tactically. That being said France has the strategic advantage by far. All they had to do...

  15. Could fascism survive to the present without WW2?

    Franco only saw growth because of the realpolitik of the cold war. Given the sorry state of the Spanish economy immediately after WW2, the victorious powers could've easily created a situation where his regime would've been forced to make political concessions. Lucky for him, the USSR posed a...

  16. Could fascism survive to the present without WW2?

    The foreign policy, lebensraumy, aspect of fascist regimes will get them into trouble eventually. You can only promise glorious conquests to your populace and not deliver for so long. Eventually your support base will start to discount your words. Add in the economically ruinous rearmament...

  17. WI: Longer Lived, More Aggressive Post-War Stalinist Russia

    Give Stalin another decade and let's make him more adventurous in his Post- War years. What sort've things might he have done if in that time frame? Effects on geo-politics?

  18. What if Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Siam?

    Wayyyy too far from Japan to support those logistics.

  19. Is Mau-Mau victory in Kenya realistically possible?

    Nope. Not the Mau-Mau. A different, less violent group, in a different timeline, sure. But never the Mau-Mau. Sets a dangerous precedent.

  20. WI/AHC: European leaders converting to Islam to circumvent Church authority

    You could simply revoke and liquidate his lands. I'm sure the Umayyads did that after the Iberian conquest
