  1. Guy Fawkes blow up Parliament in 1605

    There is also an good dramatisation with Nick Knowles investigating the conspiracy theory, just pop 'Nick Knowles and the gunpowder plot' into google videos

  2. Guy Fawkes blow up Parliament in 1605

    Are we not going to touch on the conspiracy theory that James and Cecil set it up in order to gain James some good PR? So as a result under no circumstances was the plot going to succeed?

  3. No Bismarck, No Germany?

    Also the mass conservative forces within Germany who wanted to maintain the status quo to support their freedom to govern the individual states, this includes the church, aristocracy and even the peasants to an extent-the forces for change were really only supported by the middle class until...

  4. Hitler not installed as Chancellor by Von Hindenburg, 1932

    Plus the disaster with Von Papen and Schliecher, Hindenburg was manipulated into it by Papen rather than 'chose' to put Hitler in charge, Hindeburg was always determined not to put the 'Jumped up Corporal from Bavaria' in charge of the country.

  5. Heil Shickelgruber?

    Plus go back to Alois and its not actually Hitler but Hiedler his father Johann Georges' name!

  6. Guy Fawkes blow up Parliament in 1605

    Perhaps a little ASB here-sorry to lower the tone-but Are we under-estimating the reaction of the English people-had the plotters succeeded they would have partaken in a massive terrorist plot murdering a fair few of Englands leaders-this would have made them unpopular among a large proportion...

  7. No Bismarck, No Germany?

    I agree the European balance of power being favourable toward Prussia's conflict with Austria was really key for that to take place (example of the reaction to the Polish uprising is worth looking at) What about the strength of the Conservative opposition to a liberal unified Germany up to...

  8. No Bismarck, No Germany?

    Couldnt find any similar threads in the archives so I was curious of the following...... Bismarck is a significant factor (or is he) in the unification of Germany, however, boiling other events into factors of Economic, External (European balance of power) factors and internal Nationalist...

  9. The Spanish invasion of England

    Just a curiousity really after a throw-away conversation earlier but-the Spanish plan to land troops in England actually worked, for example Medina Sidonia had attacked the English fleet docked at Plymouth and the Duke of Parma's army had successfully met the armada. (Not too ASB i hope!) They...

  10. Hitler: Rise of Evil

    Yeah i thought Hindenburg stole the show in that one, Carlile was better than I thought he would be but Peter O'Toole was excellent-also quite good as the Pope in the Tudors!! ;)

  11. No Tet offensive in Vietnam

    But surely part of the reason why the Tet offensive and VC Guerilla tactics were able to work was as a result of the south vietnamese peasantry sheltering the VC and allowing them to hide amongst them. Did Ho not promise them land etc. in return for support whilst the US seemed more like the...

  12. Hitler is captured by Allies, what happens next?

    Full circle? Is there not an element of full circle here? If Hitler (moving away from the clinically insane idea?) is taken to trial at Nuremburg and puts on a bit of a last stand its very much like the aftermath of the Munich Putsch, where despite being a failure Hitler's performance in the...

  13. No Tet offensive in Vietnam

    Fair play-so are we going with the idea that the US loss in Vietnam was inevitable due to the inherent lack of understanding of the Political situation in Vietnam? And the idea that most people in the south actually supported Ho and this would win through in the end?

  14. HEnry VIII's ONE Wife

    If at all? The defeat of the Armada was a big change in the European Balance of Power-perhaps Spain emerge the dominant European force?

  15. No Tet offensive in Vietnam

    No Tet=US Victory? I'm with Bill Cameron on this one. There is some evidence that the US intelligence had some knowledge of a potential threat on the Tet holiday but it was ignored. (potential POD) So instead of being taken by surprise the US prepare for an assault and still inflict mass losses...
