  1. How Cooked was Rhodesia Actually?

    Not really that difficult. The original Bolsheviks were extremely "progressive" for their rime. They nonetheless were also exceptionally expansionist and had no issue in expanding their "Republics" at gunpoint. Same is true for many "Liberation" movements.
  2. Did Ronald Reagan really sell drugs to minority neighborhoods? (Yes, this is a serious question)

    1. That is NOT what Wells reported. I know, I red his work as it was published in the Merc. 2. This a big time conspiracy theory absolutely designed to start a flame war. Kicked for a week. If you are bound and determined to start political flame wars do it Chat. Thread Locked.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Sure. Same as the ones on Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. heavy shore bombardment can clear many obstacles, but the reality is that enough survive that have to be taken one at a time by fire teams with satchel charges or flame throwers.. The Allies would have taken the beaches and eventually...
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Most of the IJA in the Home Islands was, by the time the decision between Invasion or Blockade & Burn was made, largely static, with horse and ox drawn transport. Soldiers spent much of their time, as the blockade bit, working on truck gardens and as agricultural workers as on guard duty. They...
  5. What if Rome didn't go from republic to empire (at least when it did irl)

    BKW gave you a formal warning for this sort of BS last week. Guess you decided to ignore it. Allow me to focus your attention. Kicked for a week.
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Arguably it was in some ways somewhat worse than The Great Famine. Many Irish were able to flee, and at least some relief supplies and funding was sent in (including a personal donation from Queen Victoria). The aid wasn't sufficient and many died who couldn't scrape the fund to flee.* Japanese...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    In the end Japan more closely resembled 1968 Biafra, the hardest hit portions of Ethiopia during the 1983-85 Famine or Leningrad at the height of the siege Japan didn't really surrender in the sense of asking for terms or having a "Tokyo Bay" signing ceremony. It simply begged for mercy. As I...
  8. Photos from Alternate Worlds II (read FAQ first)

    Doesn’t get much more current events/politics than the Ukraine war. Please confine current politics to Chat
  9. Triangularization of the German Army, 1912

    WO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY-SEVEN DAYS You dragged a rotting corpse out of the grave for TWO bloody sentences? NEVER even think of doing this again.
  10. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VII (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Reagan would have been reelected as many times as he ran (assuming conditions that allowed a serious Conservative wing of the GOP to appear out of what would seem to be a MUCH more liberal Party/Nation), but it is a good point about the two term tradition.
  11. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VII (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    This is very much current politics. Please confine current politics to Chat.
  12. What if the Macedonian empire was much smaller?

    Please use the Pre-1900 Misc. thread for these sorts of WI. You need to actually start a discussion not just ask a question or issue an AH challenge Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread Locked
  13. Alternate Israel-like pariah states - Liberia and Singapore?

    Don't go out of the way to pick fights about "alternate Pariah states" in ANY of the Main AH Forums. If you MUST try to start a political flame war do it in Chat. I've grown tired of your regular voyages into the petrol seas.
  14. Most evil king of France/the Franks

    Please use the Pre-1900 Misc. thread for these sorts of WI. You need to actually start a discussion not just ask a question or issue an AH challenge Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread Locked
  15. WI Historically Islam slows in Palestine / 1947: Palestinians are 65% Christian

    If Islamic expansion failed to this degree the entire Old World (at the very least) would be radically different. It would mean that the more distant lands (from Mecca & Medina) would be far more Christian than IOTL. There probably would never have been any Crusades.
  16. Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    The "Atlantic Wall" was where the Heer sent formations to reconstitute after getting mauled in the East/West Africa and "static" divisions (with a high percentage of Ostlegionen and Hiwi personnel). The Wall, and France in general, was far less well garrisoned than any of the Eastern Front Army...
  17. Consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union for the Pacific War

    As I noted earlier, it very much depends on the conditions of the Soviet surrender. That one factor determines much of what the Reich and its Italian Allies can hope to achieve. What would be needed to hold the Reich at bay (assuming some sort of armistice is not concluded with the WAllies)...
