  1. Stalin Dies July 1st, 1942

    Rule by committee? During a war?:eek:

  2. Challenge: More of East Asia comparable to Western Europe

    What would happen if Sukarno is eliminated?

  3. Reagan diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1987

    Technically, they couldn't have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's in 1987 unless he died... The early stages of the disease are fairly easy to cover up, especially with others cooperating. I agree with the poster who said it would be labeled as a Democrat smear campaign. At most, it could be a flap...

  4. WI: Hybrid Religions?

    Religions always cross fertilize (though they generally deny it:rolleyes:). The western religions have interacted like a Hapsburg family tree. For a near example of a "hybrid religion", how about Sikhism?

  5. No HIV/AIDS Emergence

    That honor would go to herpes, which was The Big One before being supplanted by AIDS. Among the people who would have lived longer is Isaac Asimov (who got it from a transfusion). He'd probably have lived to 2005 or so.

  6. WI: Protocols of the Elders of Zion never published

    No difference at all, I say.:( Some people have to hate, and are quite able to make up their own justifications for it. If Protocols of Zion isn't published, something similar will be made up elsewhere.

  7. WI No British Empire?

    Considering Ireland's geographic position, the only way for it to not be dominated by a Great Britain power is for England to never become a power at all. This is entirely possible, of course, although it may require a POD before 1066.

  8. How much of Europe and North Africa could a Persian empire realistically hold?

    Nitpick: the Libyan coast was not desert at the time. Otherwise correct, though.

  9. Oklahoma in the Confederacy

    Then expect a lot of Union meddling.

  10. WI: US decides to decapitate the snake?

    Annoying nitpick: the Germans never got to Moscow, so there wasn't any street fighting there.

  11. Could Rommel have survived the purge?

    That's an importent point-his family are hostage.

  12. WI: US decides to decapitate the snake?

    I think they wanted relatively undamaged cities so there wouldn't be any doubt what the nuke could do.

  13. Terms for Japanese Surrender in 1942/43 and long term consequences

    The Japanese Empire keeps Korea, Formosa, and its Micronesian islands. What's most interesting is what part Japan plays in the Cold War (assuming the Cold War happens, which is fairly likely in my opinion).

  14. Asian colonisation of the Americas?

    The geography of North America's west coast does not lend itself to eastward expansion, and has been said any Chinese colonies in California or the Puget Sound will probably be abandoned by the mother country. They might survive, but be quite culturally distinct by the time Europeans find them.

  15. WI- No Jews

    Another religion that wouldn't exist would be Manichaeism. A question would be if Zoarastrianism, or a derivation of it, would take up prostelyzing. The Turks will probably eventually come, and may become Zoarastrians. The Mongol conquests are of course butterflied (no Temujin), but some Central...

  16. Hitler dies of stroke Feb 2 1943: successors and strategy?

    I agree. The anti-Nazi conspirators were much to hesitant and they wouldn't act. The German military command doesn't have strong leadership because Hitler made it that way (no possible challenge to him). Himmler's police apparatus is still comparatively weak in Germany itself-it never became as...

  17. Even If Successful Amerindian Immunity...

    Let's see... Spain can still conquer Haiti and Cuba, but instead of dying off, the locals can survive, flee into the interior, and resist forever. Spain has to put forth a lot more effort to hold them. If Cortes (or some other Spaniard, he barely got out of Cuba) invades Mexico, he might be...

  18. WI Doolittle Raid Not Launched

    Might a delay in the Midway attack give time for Halsey to recover and command the US defense? Halsey was very aggressive; he might have chased the retreating Japanese fleet right into Yamamoto's battleships. Wouldn't give the Japanese their victory, I think, though.

  19. Unconditional Surrender in Korea

    Don't forget why unconditional surrender was the demand in World War II: to help prevent a separate peace on the part of either the Western Allies or the USSR. Unconditional surrender was, in fact, North Korea's position-towards South Korea. With its very existence at stake, Sigman Rhee's (sp)...

  20. The Legacy of Timur the lame

    I hate to say this, but Timur would whip Joan's ass.:(
