  1. YF-23 chosen by Navy

    So an F-22, F-23, and an A-12?
  2. Ah, well. You wouldn't believe the fish I caught while I was away... but trust me, they were...

    Ah, well. You wouldn't believe the fish I caught while I was away... but trust me, they were THIS. BIG.
  3. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Indeed. William Randolph Hearst was screaming in his newspapers for the U.S. to do a full invasion of Mexico, occupy it, possibly annex it. Of course, he was also trying to convince people in his papers and in his movies that there was a secret Japanese-Mexican Alliance to invade the U.S., based...
  4. ECM /recon version of mig23

    My understanding was that it wasn't supposed to escort the aircraft, just suppress a given set of AD radars to open the space for the supersonic aircraft to fly through the hole in the radar net.
  5. Could Germany invade Norway/Denmark in (an alt) WW1?

    The specter of a German invasion of Denmark, and a transfer of the Danish West Indies to German control, were indeed part of the arguments that were put forth for the treaty by which the United States purchased them. They'd wanted them for a long time, but this was a new reason to add to the pile.
  6. What if private negotiations between George V and Wilhelm resulted in Germany respecting Belgian neutrality in attacking France?

    So, let's assume the government collapses. What are the likely replacements? Do the Conservatives (and Liberal Unionists) swing back into power? With the Irish crisis continuing, do they get the Irish Parliamentary votes?
  7. (Philippines recognized by usa 1899). Antonio Luna Launches a Failed Coup to Oust Aguinaldo in 1901 which resulted in a civil war. What happens next

    Why wouldn't the US intervene on Aguinaldo's side? If they've chosen to recognize the Philippines' independence, presumably they gave tacit agreement to Aguinaldo's taking office.
  8. WI No WW1 in 1914?

    At the outset of the war, there was a movement in Japan to ally with Germany, led by several of the older genro. They believed Britain was doomed to lose the war and didn't want to be shackled to them, and believed Germany would make a better ally. They were outmaneuvered by the Foreign...
  9. Sweden in the Central Powers

    I doubt Romania will join the Central Powers in this instance; what's more likely is continued neutrality. There wasn't much of a pro-CP contingent in Romania.
  10. Examples of Japanese aircraft from the 1920s?

    Skip on down to around 1927 -- the Type 91 and Type 92, for instance.
  11. A US Army better prepared for the Great War (WW1)

    I think that's the key problem. There's several war scares throughout the period of 1900-1914 that could have erupted into actual field conflicts -- two war scares with Japan, in 1907 and 1913, the latter with the General Staff saying war was "not only possible but probable" and attempting to...
  12. Close downballot races that could've changed history

    Schumer losing to Ferraro in 1998 keeps him in the House, which means that his protege Anthony Weiner doesn't succeed him in the House yet (presumably staying on the city council). That could have significant ripple effects to both his mayoral ambitions and Hillary Clinton's Presidential runs...
  13. "Revisiting General Sir John Hackett's 'The Third World War''

    The destruction was combined with ongoing internal dissent over the matter of the war and how it was being lost, and if I remember correctly -- my copy is in storage -- some of the SSRs tried secession and negotiating their own cease fires, and then there was a general collapse. I think The...
  14. "Revisiting General Sir John Hackett's 'The Third World War''

    The West, in the sense that the USSR collapses internally following the tit-for-tat nuclear exchange of Birmingham / Minsk.
  15. Amendment to change US Presidency to one 6 year term adopted

    Several other Amendments flowed quickly in the course of the 1910s: The Sixteenth Amendment (Income Tax) passed Congress in July 1909 and was ratified by the states by February 1913. The Seventeenth Amendment (Popular Election of Senators) passed Congress in May 1912 and was ratified by the...
  16. what are the best ways on how to achieve a better-off Mexico?

    Was there no one else in the PRI who could have stepped in and done a better job? The ghost of W.R. Hearst lingers on long.
  17. WI no Franco-Russian Alliance In 1914

    For that matter, the German government wouldn't have felt it needed to pursue war right then, if there wasn't a fear that Russia would continue to build up its military and eventually ally with the French to attack Germany. Several German strategists had thought that if Russia was allowed...
  18. Dread Nought but the Fury of the Seas

    Everyone ends up building flawed Furious-style fast battleships, but then for pride reasons can't admit they don't work as well as they should. During the next war, Admirals are adverse to actually bringing their ships against each other. Peace at sea! (All in jest, of course)

  20. AHC: Chinese Dreadnaughts

    What about, to turn this on its head, Japan being more successful in the 1910s in capturing the Chinese government by treaty? An enhanced 21 Demands, or the like, and backing a winning horse in the ongoing skirmishes of the period leads to some significant portion of China becoming a client...
