  1. Charles V gave the Low Countries to Austria Philip II continue reconquista?

    Just a thought Charles V devided his realm different. The Burgundian kreist, the Low Countires would be part of the Austrian Habsburg realm while Castille, Arragon and Naples went to his son Philips II. Now the quarrels of the Low Countries is not Phillips II concenrn. Would Phillips a devout...
  2. The Grand Duchy of the West - A Valois-Burgundian TL

    The winter campaign should take it's toll on the French mob troops as well, despite chirugians and supplies. By the time of Spring normaly armies of this size, and in this time period, are melted away, due to sickness, looting ''accidents'', desertion, since the mob took its looting share. The...
  3. The Grand Duchy of the West - A Valois-Burgundian TL

    Why should there be anti Burgundian sentiments allong the Rhine? These cities and towns benefit tremendous from trade with the Low countires. The winter campaign of France taken Burgundy by suprice should create a reaction. One of this leasson learned , by the Duke should be the creation of a...
  4. Royal Netherlands Navy as it could be in 1942

    Below a possible booring thread of the political change which could make the naval strenght of the Royal Netherlands Navy a bit stronger and or more modern in the NEI. I tried it to keep it as plausible as posible although in OTL the cabinet, in January 1940, ordered the construction of at least...
  5. Malaya What If

    I am not refering to the strategic part, but the tactical. Just the audacity to execute an operation on this scale and in a operation theatre of this enourmous size with weapons whihc were hardly used in conflicts before.
  6. Malaya What If

    This is excactly how it should be seen in (militairy) history. In matter of fact the whole attack on the 7th and 8th, also in Asia, must be seen as a magnificent military undertaking seen from military perspective. An attack over sheer distances, using never used military hard ware (carrier...
  7. Malaya What If

    Interesting discussion of a depth charge attack from a Japanese Imperial Navy ship on a British Royal Navy submarine may trigger or not the USA Pacific fleet. It is not only the stand of technology of the communication techniques or the (non-) ability for decoding of that time period. The...
  8. Malaya What If

    They will not ramping up their readiness, or at least not even close to react on the attack which was underway. Due to the simple fact that an attack as it will be at 7th December is unconceivable, as mentioned by R.R.
  9. Malaya What If

    Now this is a show of cooperation between the British and Dutch navies. A squadron composed of a Dutch and Brisitsh flotilla of light cruisers and destroyers. A Royal Netherlands Navy flottilla as an integrated part of a Royal Navy battle group, it is almost a revival of old times, from the...
  10. January 1943. The German View

    The production capacity is not only depending on the number of factories, workers or material, but as well if the regime is stable. As I understand the Communist regime of the Sovjet Union seems to be in turmoil. This will have a negative effect on production.
  11. A (late) Central Powers Victory: Some Musings

    Agree, what a lot of CP victory scenario's forget, are socio-economic situations. The fact that all parties will be in finacial ruins. especially Germany due to the way they funded thier war economy, basicly printing of new monney. This will have a major reporcusssion after the war. Liberties...
  12. A (late) Central Powers Victory: Some Musings

    This is probbaly the largest butterfly. Under the milions of men and women there would be most likely some one who eiter invent or discover things whihc would speed up development in technology, biology or medicin and of course among the deaths there would be individuals who contribute the to...
  13. January 1943. The German View

    Nice update of the common German city citizen, living in the National socialist police state, the hardly mentioned war and making the best of it.
  14. January 1943. The German View

    Thanks for your reply, on this off topic details of your very nice to read story.
  15. January 1943. The German View

    How is fertilizer production goiing? Or is nearly all nitrogin production used for amunition production? The food production in West Europe dramaticly declined mainly due to the shortage of fertilizer, i can imagine the situation in the East isn't much better, probably worse on the huge former...
  16. Malaya What If

    Great to read of men who have the nerves to take responisibility and not hiding behind each other
  17. Alternate warships of nations

    Yes why not, Eendracht, Zeven Provincien and De Ruyter. Nice names for a cruiser class, refering to the 17th century. The first two were 17th century warships and De Ruyter was commanding the Zeven Provincien.
  18. Alternate warships of nations

    Eendracht class large light cruisers with 10 x 150 mm maingun armament Ever since the cancelation of the light cruiser Celebes, part of the Java Class light cruisers the Royal Netherlands Navy desired a third light cruiser. During the cabinet term of Ruys de Beerenbroekc III (1929-1933) ...
  19. How could've Trotsky took power?

    Lysenkoism is indeed upper level lunacy. Never the less I am very, very sceptical of the communist system. It is inherent in disregarding the indiviual and value for life. Trotsky showed this in the civil war. Further power, specially absolute power combined with an extremist ideology will...
