Short of having a crystal ball and gazing into the future, there is not much they could have done given who they were. 1905 did give them a scare, yes. And there were rational people near the seat of power who were prepared to tack one way or another, but they are dealing with a system whose...

Unfortunately I don't know a great deal about Hindy. I have a fat book on him, which sits on my shelf, for some reason next to the Crick biography of Michael Howard, and I have not been able to read through it. Hindy's personality lacks the manic dynamism and sheer "wait, what?" of Ludendorff...

I think we need to separate the two men and their approaches, for while they worked in tandem they were not the same man, it just seemed as if they were because of their close cooperation. Also, while both favored the idea of a military dictatorship as a way to "stabilize" the situation as they...

As sloppy as most of these offerings had been, I really did miss these, as they are AH graphic novels for the sake of AH. Yes, they can very silly, but I had good times reading these, so glad to see they are getting on track.

Please keep going, this is interesting. Curious how you will treat the non-Nazi unrepentant far-right German parties which were swirling about.

To save Russia from itself and have them not lose against Japan requires a wholesale purge of the senile whiskers squad among the Russian army and naval leadership. Said purge may help with the Great War as well. The Austrians can fail even more spectacularly than they did in OTL to make life...

The reporter submitted it as a Centrist-leaning Sun, but the editor thought it a mistake and changed it.

Alexandra would be named Guardian, and put in charge of educating young Alexei. Michael would not get the Regency without a fight. Recall, he ran off and married a commoner in 1912. People within the family would not forget such a thing. It took the War for Nicholas II to even allow Michael...

A combination of barons, bayonets and blackshirts takes over. Goering had about half dozen different "and that's how I met Hitler" myths, depending on his mood and the setting, but the one his earliest post-war serious biographers mention it happened when Goering went to a park in Munich to...

Howdy, don't mean to interrupt a disagreement here, but please don't take anything Goering said after the war at face value. Goering was a cunning sociopath. He knew exactly what people wanted to hear and told it to them. Read those Nuremberg interview/interrogation transcripts, they are a...

Even if the Whites win, then some stuff is let loose they cannot ignore or set aside. Not just the Bolshevik Revolution, but the February one happened ITTL. No one will be able to simply wind back the clock. The Civil War, curtailed as it is ITTL has also set loose some demons. I do not...

Thanks! And five years ago, maybe. But these days, with the Discovery execs running things... Ah, a different time for TV eras. My best bet is a mid-major streaming service in need of a prestige series or a production company with tax credits looking to burn some money on a costume drama...

Glad you liked it, and thank you for reading. Sure thing. Let's start from the top. Upon the death of the Tsar, there is an active though very disjointed "Anyone But Pavel Pavlovich" movement from different sections of the Romanov family and aristocratic clans. The way the Tsar died and the...

Thank you to everyone for reading, liking and commenting!
