  1. Schwarz-Rot-Gold! - A Weimar Germany TL

    Pro tip: If your keyboard layout doesn't support ä/ö/ü, the acceptable alternative spelling is ae/oe/ue. Not a/o/u. Also I have no idea where "Mursberg" is supposed to be. Mursberg is a castle hill in Austria, and Mürsberg is a Chemnitz neighborhood. Did you conflate Munich and Nuremberg?

  2. Grand Prix: An alternate history of Formula 1

    get well soon <3

  3. The Jaguar's Roar - An Aztec Timeline

    It's cocoliztli time. (Also, OP hid all the clues in plain sight in a cuisine post, which is honestly impressing.)

  4. AHC: Create an exotic party system

    I'd imagine such a party to extend right-populism's immigrants-bashing tendencies to a target OTL's racists don't think about very much: Intranational migrants. Why stop at building a wall on the Arizona-Mexico border when you can build another one at the Arizona-Utah border? Especially if they...

  5. Selig Sind Die Toten - Scheubner-Richter's Reich

    There's the Covid-era Netflix production Barbaren, marketed as Barbarians to international audiences but I'm not sure if it's an actual translation or just subtitles. Basically Vikings, but with the Norsemen replaced by Cherusci.

  6. How might a modern baby boom occur?

    Oddly enough, that doesn't work. Iran's TFR nosedived from >6 to <2.1 in the first twenty years of the Islamic Republic.

  7. Terror in Littleton: How a tragedy shaped a nation

    What @Whiteshore wrote. That's when we found out that It Could Happen Here.

  8. Terror in Littleton: How a tragedy shaped a nation

    For that matter, the idea that the rest of the world would be as restrictive as the US post-Columbine is unrealistic. The rest of the world will do what it did IOTL, namely point at the 2nd Amendment and proclaim that It Can't Happen Here. For instance, I would not expect butterflies from the...

  9. Why do people on this site unanimously agree that a Nazi European victory via defeating the USSR in Fall Blau and ceasefire with west is impossible?

    That's kinda irrelevant to the topic at hand, since I'm talking about perception in the UK. British willingness to agree to a ceasefire depends on the facts on the ground as perceived by the UK leadership and public in 1942, not as perceived by historians in 2023.

  10. Why do people on this site unanimously agree that a Nazi European victory via defeating the USSR in Fall Blau and ceasefire with west is impossible?

    The US and UK simply have no reason to accept a ceasefire ever. It's high risk for low gain. Low gain because by 1942, the Blitz has been defeated, the U-Boot wolfpacks have been defanged, and Sealion is a distant memory. The US and UK can afford to continue their strategic bombing campaign...

  11. WI: Ebert and Von Pabst dont kill Liebneicht and Luxembourg

    It's not entirely clear what you're asking about. The Spartakus insurrection winning, or Spartakus still losing but L&L living to fight another day?

  12. Terror in Littleton: How a tragedy shaped a nation

    Possibly later due to restrictions on social media. That's one thing the old media has been utterly powerless to stop. I realize that this is an unpopular thing to say these days, but Élan School would still be in business if it wasn't for social media. Fun fact: Élan was featured in an Academy...

  13. Selig Sind Die Toten - Scheubner-Richter's Reich

    Which terms did he use in the original German though? I mean, translating Säuberung as "cleansing" wouldn't be wrong, but in political contexts the more commonly encountered translation is "purge".

  14. Islamic Europe without Immigration

    The closest OTL thing to this scenario is probably Rwanda, which saw quite a few conversions to Islam after 1994, commonly attributed to the local Catholic hierarchy's failure to stand up to the génocidaires. But even there Muslims are <15% of the populace, and Evangelical churches saw a rise in...

  15. Grand Prix: An alternate history of Formula 1

    Perfectly valid, I'm just confused on whether there's a PoD before 1954 or it's just the OTL pre-1954 history of the sport being read differently.

  16. Grand Prix: An alternate history of Formula 1

    Does that Wiki table imply that 1950 is not perceived as the first F1 season ITTL?

  17. Atomic Bombs against Third Reich

    For nuke usage against Germany to happen, we have to assume that the German military loses more slowly than IOTL. I'd imagine the feste Plätze doctrine doesn't happen and Heeresgruppe Mitte gets to retreat to the Vistula in good order. Under those circumstances, why would Himmler go alone in...

  18. Atomic Bombs against Third Reich

    Lolnope. Nukes weren't considered certain death in 1945, not even by people who knew that nukes existed. The ugly fates of the Hibakusha were an unpleasant surprise to everyone. Also, it wasn't just Hitler who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. We're talking about a country which was deeply...

  19. Atomic Bombs against Third Reich

    It's July 20, what a great day to ask this question. Unlike what WW2-era Yellow Peril ideas would have you believe, Japan was actually saner about surrendering than Germany. Hirohito in Hitler's place would have surrendered in winter '44/45. In a way, the July 20 coup attempt was a reverse...

  20. Would it be possible for a Alt Fascist Germany to accept the Polish Corridor minus Danzig ?

    It's not necessarily about what a fascist party would want, but about what they believe they can feasibly get. Revising the Versailles treaty one way or the other was consensus in 1919-39 German politics, and not just among advocates of traditional Prussian values. The SocDems and Communists...
