  1. Negotiated Settlement in WWI

    Have the High Seas Fleet win a string of victories by 1916 For example, have Dogger Bank result in the loss of 4-5 british Battlecruisers (everything but HMS LION), and then have the German plan for Jutland work perfectly with the smaller 10 BB and BC Rosyth force being defeated in detail...

  2. When would the CSA haven freed it's slaves?

    The South as Draka I do not suggest that the poor whites in the South would have to allow themselves to be enslaved. Just as in the Draka stories, they would get their slaves in just the same manner that the Romans did---by capturing them in war or even by resorting to cross border raids...

  3. When would the CSA haven freed it's slaves?

    And the North would sit back and LAUGH! First off, a victorious CSA would not be the fuzzy wuzzy utopia that Confederate apologists think it would be. Go find an account, either by Stirling or any of the fanfic alternatives about the Domination of Draka! That is what a victorious CSA...

  4. Spencer and Henry rifles early in the ACW

    Two schools of thought (at the time) 1.) This weapon is far too devastating. It's effect on the battlefield would be murderous! 2.) This weapon will use far too much ammunition.

  5. Puerto Rico

    Why independant? 49th state is more likely! With Cuba as #50, Alaska as #51, and Hawaii as #52! There were always Americans interested in acquiring Cuba and If you get Cuba, the Puerto Rico is right there! The P.I. on the other hand make far less sense as an AMerican possession.

  6. WI: Israel withdraws

    The present difficulties Are in part, due to the fact that Israel withdrew from Gaza and South lebanon. This gave the Hezbollah reason to believe that Israel was "weak" and the Hezbollah always attack "weakness". They don't look at things quite the same way the West does, and I suspect...

  7. WI the Philippines joined the British Empire?

    Give the Phillipines to Great Britain with Japan hot for war? In other words, remove all US interest in the area and saddle Great Britain with yet another major defense obligation just before WWII? While the US might not see things that way at the time, the obligation to defend the...

  8. US Victory at Pearl Harbor

    What keeps a B17 from launching torpedoes I would think that over a fairly short (by B17 strategic bombing standards) range that a B17 ought to be able to carry perhaps 3 or more torpedoes. If these were fairly long ranged torpedoes, allowing a low level launch from 8000+ yards and being...

  9. WI US / British War of 1837?

    Make the date May 1, 1965 And compare Active, trained, SEASONED, US forces vs whatever Great Britain wishes to bring . I don't think that anyone, worldwide, on that date would have had a snowball's chance in h*ll of winning. It would take months to over a year for the RN to secure the...

  10. Ultimate nightmare President Gingrich

    Want to bet? Marital indiscretion is no longer a moral objection to anything. Boy Clinton made sure of that! You could even ressurect the career of Bob Packwood, come to think of it! There are in fact a great many Conservatives out there who very much like and agree with what he(...

  11. Best Way to Avoid A World War?

    World War II is easy to avoid Just make sure that IF there is a WWI, that the results are decisive, conclusive, and FINAL! No "stabbed in the back" theories and no percieved "unfair treatment" of anyone. You also would have to settle EVERYONE'S hash, including that of Japan and Russia...

  12. French Naval power circa 1800

    Breakthrough Supership of 1806 Build a largish 74 gun (third rate) ship of the line with a UNIFORM armament of all 32lber long guns, instead of having 32 lbers only on the lower gun deck, 24lbers on the upper gun deck and 12 lbers on the weather deck. Build a largish 100 gun (1st rate) ship...

  13. Yellowstone Super Volcano

    Unknown NEW Super volcano Let's locate this monster in the African Rift Valley or somewhere else near the edge of a continental plate/mountainous region, but let's have this one be completely unknown. If we give humanity 90 days warning, what happens then? There are active volcanoes in...

  14. MONORAIL.....MONORAIL!!!!

    What does a ticket cost And how far will that ticket take you? It is a very common thing, for a government run mass transit system to have high prices. No one will ride mass transit if it is less expensive to simply drive a car. If you make mass transit cheap enough, such that even a...

  15. American guerillia civil war

    Might I suggest that the Ku Klux Klan were Guerillas The entire time that the KKK were burning crosses, lynching, and otherwise conducting terrorism, they were practicing Guerrilla Warfare against the Government of the United States. So well entrenched were they in parts of the South, they...

  16. The Great Wall of Texas!

    Pull the mega billions from BOSTON They're wasting that money anyway.

  17. Soviet takes Western Europe, What kind of Recistance

    Look at civilized Eastern Europe THEY most certainly didn't have much of a resistance movement, I doubt that Western Europeans would have bothered either. One needs to be passionate, fervant about an ideology in order to do that sort of thing

  18. What if a Parallel Industrial Revolution?

    Coal is what you burn in steam engines Prior to the end of the age of sail, coal was less important but coal would still be the fuel of choice even for James Watt's steam pumping engines.. Steam engines made possible the later factories that comprised the industrial revolution---factories...

  19. What if Texas never gained its independence from Mexico?

    Are you saying Anglos won't assimilate? (Drenched with pure sarcasm) The shoe is on the other foot today, isn't it? 170 years ago Amereicans were SNEAKING INTO MEXICO with the idea of taking over and for some reason that is looked at as WRONG????? Sure thing! On to 2006! Today it is...

  20. AH challenge: Save Carthage!

    Carthaginian Civilization Could survive if an outpost is founded suffuciently far away from Rome, such that the Romans cannot get to it. Such places could include Ireland, Liberia, Brazil, Cuba or Florida. Getting across the Atlantic seems a stretch, but the other two places remained...
