  1. AHC explain this map

    My first thought is how is this Empire supposed to keep off the Parthians in Babylonia*? My second is the capital of such an Empire. Why Roma? It's not in a very strategic location, nor is it where you'd expect a great Empire to come from. IOTL it was a fairly the Capital of a relatively small...

  2. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    It's beautiful: https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/209903 Hillary Clinton: 50.0%, 269 EVs Donald Trump: 47.0%, 269 EVs I won Iowa by only 483 votes. Jill Stein won 11,705 votes. It wasn't called until the game was 100% processed, meaning irl it would be after several...

  3. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    Crucially, Hitler would not be able to or want to touch the areas the U.S controls. Britain or the Soviet Union could.

  4. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    I think you're underestimating just how anti-USSR the far-right of the U.S was. They probably would sit on the sidelines, but selling to both sides equally is out of the question.

  5. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    And I would argue the U.S and Germany would have many common interests. They both absolutely want the USSR contained and crushed, most importantly. The Nazis are useful to the Americans as a counterbalance to Britain, who could get in the way of their Imperialistic* (influence/control over much...

  6. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    Thing is, a Fascist U.S would be more concerned with race, religion and order than more traditional fascist ideals like social Darwinism. Of course they'll still be concerned with the latter, but not enough to want to turn against a fellow "Nordic", "Protestant" civilisation. Also, realpolitik...

  7. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    Up to and even after the annexation of Czechoslovakia by Germany, Britain's policy was to try to play Germany and the USSR off against each other, with Hitler being considered the lesser evil. They were willing to let Hitler expand if he could be a counterweight to Stalin. To have such a policy...

  8. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    It certainly can. I myself am a non-interventionist. Many Americans of the time were committed isolationists, which is what the far right used to gain votes. However, the far right itself didn't generally care about this principle, unless it helped them get ahead.

  9. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    To all this discussion of how a fascist America would effect Germany v.s the USSR, I just have one thing to add: Britain's not gonna be in this thing forever. OTL was hard on Britain with American support. Without it, and with America cozying up to the Nazis, Britain will simply have to throw in...

  10. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    Oh please. That's like saying segregationists were for States Rights for the principle of the thing. The American far-sighted was non-interventionist because they didn't want to intervene against Nazi Germany, whom they adored, or for the Soviet Union, whom they despised. If there's any sort...

  11. How dangerous would a Fascist America be?

    A Fascist-ish (do not expect a carbon copy of Italy, Germany, or Japan. Rather, expect a nationalistic, racist, nativist, pro-business conglomerate.) U.S would be mostly concerned with internal affairs rather than expansion. At the very least we'd see promotion of the KKK and other groups. At...

  12. A True October Surprise (A Wikibox TL)

    I just want to say that I really enjoyed this TL, excellent read.

  13. A China at least as industrialized as Japan by the start of the 20th C

    Japan fails to industrialize effectively.:cool:

  14. Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

    Komnenoi Empire Achievement finally achieved. It only took me like 3 dozen tries.:p What I learned from this is to never give up. Qara Qoyunlu declared war on me in 1450- I managed to beat them with Georgia's help thanks to smart Mountain defense. 30 years later, the Ottomans took many of my...

  15. Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

    After being reduced to just my Circassian provinces by a joint Ottoman-Crimean invasion in 1470, this felt sooooo good. I've finally got a Trebizond game that is going well. It's just after 1700 now, and I've eaten much of the Steppes and the Middle East, as well as more from the Ottomans. I...

  16. A light in the midst of darkness - a Central Asian TL

    That seemed to be what I was getting from this, that Kashgaria was making the Taiping situation worse and destroying a lot of Qing control directly and indirectly.

  17. A light in the midst of darkness - a Central Asian TL

    The Qing are really falling apart. At this rate, the Europeans, especially Russia and Britain, are gonna grab large chunks of the coast either as puppet states or even colonies.:eek:

  18. TLIAW- A Mamluk Congo

    That's the point of butterflies. They don't always act linearly in ways we can understand, cause we can never know how every minute effect of a PoD affects everything. Very interesting stuff here. The Congo ITTL are really quite interesting.

  19. DBWI: What if Progressivism had been a political movement?

    The problem was Progressivism was very vague and never well understood by the masses. What exactly were its goals, and what does "improving society" entail? It was always more of an intellectual movement, passed around by the well- educated, than something concrete. Compare this to WJB's...

  20. No Southern Strategy: The Political Ramifications of an Alternate 1964 Election

    Aren't you in a State where Freak Power wouldn't be a protest Vote but an actual choice? On the local level, I'd almost certainly be straight DFL. It seems doubtful that the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party would find a way to alienate, well, Labor.
