  1. Californie- French California

    I am trying to remain focused on the Californie in this TL but America will be a big part of the next TL installment, so we will get some hints.

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

    A POD in the 1860's would certainly butterfly most things in the 20th century?

  3. Californie- French California

    Probably fairly close to OTL, perhaps a bit larger. Say 400,000, most concentrated along the coast of course, with exceptions in Utah, and some old towns in Nouveau-Mexique (although ownership of these is debatable and will be covered in the next update, I think). Native American numbers are...

  4. Californie- French California

    Gold Hill in those early stages was mostly run by Americans so it has an English name. By the time it is owned and operated by (largely French) big business, the old name is mostly stuck. Also, fittingly, there were many 'Gold Hills' in OTL. The big strike in the Comstock Lode (which will get...

  5. Orleanist Free France/Henri VI Backs De Gaulle

    De Gaulle is never going to allow anyone else, let alone a King, to steal his limelight.

  6. Californie- French California

    I promise to get some actual Alternate History in the next post....:oops:

    Threadmarks: Post #22- Mining in Californie

    Post #21- Mining “An unprofitable mine is fit only for the sepulcher of a dead mule.” ― T.A. Rickard Even as the Argonauts rose in rebellion in 1852 and then subsided in defeat the year after, their world was already vanishing.The old Californie dream, that a man could wander up to a stream...

  8. Californie- French California

    Thank you kindly. I have a French speaker I ask for help, I must have misread

    Threadmarks: Post #20- L'Arrière-pays

    Post #20- The Frontier Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery. John Ruskin The main areas of European settlement in Californie midway through the nineteenth century could be divided into three major zones. First were the old Spanish and Mexican era communities dating...

  10. Bush,Congress,Cabinet killed in 9/11

    What does 'stop functioning' mean? The thousands upon thousands of people just go home and stop working?

  11. Bush,Congress,Cabinet killed in 9/11

    What does 'collapse' mean to you, exactly?

  12. What if Japan adopts Kamikaze tactics in 1942?

    Can you imagine what this will do to Japanese morale?

  13. Economic consequences of a truck bomb attack against Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange

    Doubt it. The moral shock would be immense and devastating but nothing major would actually be lost. All important financial information is backed up , and in 2005, probably on paper as well in other place. The trading floor of the NYSE (Can't speak for London) even by 2005 is not the giant mosh...

  14. Bush,Congress,Cabinet killed in 9/11

    Bush wasn't even in DC at the time.

  15. Operation Unthinkable in Mid-April 1945 - Germany/US/UK coming together

    Not without changing the war in a very fundamental way. Ironically, of course, this is what the German high command was (feebly) hoping for by this stage of the war. That the Allies would fall apart and something of 'their' Germany would be salvaged as a weapon against the Russians. It's not...

  16. Would Operation Unthinkable have been launched if it was discovered that Stalin was having his own version of the Holocaust during WW2?

    Wait, what?

  17. Would Operation Unthinkable have been launched if it was discovered that Stalin was having his own version of the Holocaust during WW2?

    It is hard to 'say' what would happen, because it changes the circumstances pretty dramatically. The global reaction to the Holocaust is a big topic worthy of a lifetime of study but clearly if someone had proof (what proof exactly?) of USSR run Auschwitzs would have changed relations...

  18. Would Operation Unthinkable have been launched if it was discovered that Stalin was having his own version of the Holocaust during WW2?

    Wait, I am confused. Are we conjuring up 'Hitlerian-style death camps' or are we implying the gulag system is more fully understood? Because a USSR that embarks on a Nazi like death campaign is a different beast in some important ways from Stalin's own particular brand of mass death. But of...

  19. Post-WW1 Rhine Confederation?

    Ironic, of course, considering what happened to Germany after WW2.

  20. In the EU, in parallel with the euro, the creation of the currencies of the Euroregions is permitted

    I didn't u se the word 'useless', why are you quoting that? I am merely asking what role such a regional currency might have. Are you imaging one inside nations? In the link you provided the vast majority are local currencies inside a nation, not between them.
