  1. How would American annexation of Mexican border states impact the Civil War

    All of them, yes. I'm not sure Baja would be worth for Mexico to have if it's been severed from the rest of the Mexican mainland.

  2. How would American annexation of Mexican border states impact the Civil War

    Assuming it happens. What they be annexed as free or slave states? If they former, would the southerners push for more pro-slavery states (namely through the Caribbean) even harder? Or would they fear the shift in power would tilt far too much and force the Civil War to occur sooner?

  3. Could a much harsher Reconstruction sow the seeds for a Second American Civil War?

    How much realistically harsher could the penalties imposed for losing the war get on the South, and how specifically might this cause a civil war decades down the line?

  4. Request Maps/Flags Here

    What would a flag for an intensely nationalist Russia look like in a world where there are no Nazis nor Soviets? Besides communist iconography, they just don't seem to have many symbols.

  5. Britain without the Napoleonic Wars

    Simple enough idea, the wars had a massive impact on the UK's economy, military development, and the national image. Take away Napoleon and nip expansionist France in the butt, and how might have it developed?

  6. What would an early industrial revolution look like?

    There have always been a lot of threads discussing earlier industrial revolutions, Song China, the Indus Valley River Civilization, Rome, but what would one actually discernibly look like. What would life be like for citizens after a early industrialization? People take the industrial revolution...

  7. Alternate "Inglourious Basterds"

    I'm actually a bit confused on this bit. Wouldn't Japanese people, especially soldiers, be able to recognize them as Korean?

  8. Alternate "Inglourious Basterds"

    Not being sarcastic, sorry if I came off that way. Italics were for emphasis at how bizarre it was. Yeah no, for one it was incredibly boring with what felt like mounds and mounds of unnecessary filler with no relevance to the plot, and for two it felt like a juvenile revenge fantasy a teenager...

  9. Alternate "Inglourious Basterds"

    Huh, so did I. It was almost like Tarantino was trying to humanize the Nazis and present them as good people just so that he could have them killed in extreme ways and use the justification that they're Nazis, so whatever.

  10. More American Iraq/Afghanistan style invasions and occupations?

    Actually, would a much worse 9/11 be enough to get it rolling? And I'm very curious as to who the targets could be, or does it depend solely on the scenario in the first place?

  11. More American Iraq/Afghanistan style invasions and occupations?

    I'm focused on the potential invasions, not the draft. But regarding it, a fear is that the US military would be stretched too thin to adequately defend the homeland and complete the mission. Not sure how plausible it is, but that was what I heard.

  12. More American Iraq/Afghanistan style invasions and occupations?

    It was quite a while ago, I don't remember. It was called Day Zero, and it focused on the effect the draft was having on the characters, so I don't think too much attention was paid to plausibility. I distinctly remember "sent to Cairo" though. It was made to sound like it was a regional thing...

  13. More American Iraq/Afghanistan style invasions and occupations?

    Saw a pretty bad film with an interesting premise: the US ends up invading a lot more countries post-9/11 to the point where the draft is brought back. So my question is how could this be done? In the film, more successful 9/11-esque attacks are successfully performed, making the US government...

  14. How effective was the Spartan military?

    I feel like pop-culture (namely 300) has skewed pretty much everybody's perception on just how fierce and efficient the Spartans were, so I'd like to get a realistic analysis on their capabilities.

  15. Is American Canada the American Equivalent of Sealion?

    No. During the negotiations for the Treaty of Paris, the British were willing to give away Canada (they didn't see the point of keeping it if they lost the Thirteen Colonies) and that was the original agreement before the British changed their minds and opted to keep it.

  16. Chinese warrior class?

    I did not know about Confucianism's disdain for soldiers and the military. Could someone go more in depth about it for me? Why did they feel that way and how did these beliefs effect warfare? Were soldiers not respected then? Seems like it would be a terrible drag on moral.

  17. Chinese warrior class?

    Is it possible for a warrior class similar to samurai or knights to have developed in China? What would need to change to make it plausible?

  18. WI: No Anime?

    Couldn't you just do away with Japanese animations, then? It just never picks up.

  19. WI: No Anime?

    Quite simple premise: what if anime had never really came about?

  20. Relationship between culture and technology?

    How do they help develop one another? I've recently saw an AH premise of am extremely early industrial revolution (as in in BC). So it would be receiving 18th century technology with the mindset, philosophy, and culture of around 2000 years ago. I'm just curious about how such technology will...
