  1. Iran retakes Azerbaijan and Armenia during the Russian Civil War

    The Iranian Army is too weak in this period to have any chance of success. https://www.kavehfarrokh.com/military-history-1900-present/organization-of-the-iranian-army-in-1921-1941/
  2. Consequences of Leningrad falling in 1941-42?

    The Oranienbaum Bridgehead would be eliminated. Tikhvin with its bauxite was one of Hitler's pet obsessions. I would see AGN giving it considerable attention in the spring.

    Assume the Battle of Midway was delayed 3 days. What role would Saratoga have played in the battle?

  5. Champ in the White House - A Sketch

    1918 is not a presidential election year
  6. A Greater Alodia

    Epilogue The POD of this TL could easily go in different paths and if someone wants to do that be my guest. My gameplan was to start with medium level divergence fairly localized then ramp things up in the middle of the 12th Century. The big turning point is the conquest of Egypt at a point...
  7. Realistic path to a Central Powers-aligned US

    A long time ago I read that during the Spanish American War Spain came close to hammering out a deal with France to use St Pierre and Miquelon as a base from which to refuel Spanish cruisers for a raid off the American coast. This did not materialize. if it had and the US learned about it I...
  8. A Greater Alodia

    @Xenophonte Thanks very much for your input and and support As for Showa I estimated that only about 35-40% of its territory that got annexed so it has not been reduced to insignificance. As for Gran Canaria Ngissitikol underestimated the natives. It was a mistake but one that was fairly...
  9. WI: The Russian Constituent Assembly isn't abolished?

    Chernov would try to reunite his party but it would be difficult. In effect it would be a one party coalition government. I could see the Left SR's splitting with some siding with Chernov but others with Lenin.
  10. A Greater Alodia

    The Sultan of Mogadishu had promised the king of the Nabhani, Muhammed al-Fallah that he would aid them in their struggle with the Fatimids once he had control of Muscat. He was sincere in his commitment but he was in no great hurry to carry it out much to the chagrin of Muhammed al-Fallah. It...
  11. A Greater Alodia

    This is probably going to be the next to last segment of this project.
  12. A Greater Alodia

    Yemen, Oman and Showa 1164-1166 Even though they had defeated the Fatimid Yemeni army at Tiwi in the summer of 1162, the leaders of the seaport of Sur remained very worried about the power of the Fatimids who at the time appeared to be running rampant throughout Oman. They were unaware of the...
  13. WI: Outcomes of Britain joining the Central Powers in WW1 in a losing scenario?

    Lets give this a try Relations between Germany and UK are a notch better than OTL in part because German dreadnought construction is a bit less Curzon is the British PM He is very worried about Russia largely because of recent Great Game Crisis. Relations with USA are considerably worse...
  14. WI: Outcomes of Britain joining the Central Powers in WW1 in a losing scenario?

    The annexation of New Brunswick is highly likely.
  15. WI: Outcomes of Britain joining the Central Powers in WW1 in a losing scenario?

    A really wild variant of this war would have the USA under President Hearst become an ally of France and Russia.
  16. What happens to Serbia and Montenegro after a Central Powers victory?

    The largest copper mine in Europe was at Bor in Serbia not too far over the border. The Central Powers suffered from a shortage of copper. Germany would insist that Austria-Hungary take Bor. As for Montenegro there are good military reasons why Austria-Hungary would annex Mt. Lovcen.
  17. A Greater Alodia

    Author's Comment: As of 1163 the Kingdom of Murcia ITL was significantly stronger than OTL having control of the important cities of Cordoba, Almeria and Tortosa.
  18. A Greater Alodia

    Iberia and Ifriqiya 1164-1168 The Almohad caliph, Abu Yaqub Yusuf had returned to Marrakesh in December of 1164 leaving his brothers Abu Hafs ‘Umar and Abu Sa’id ‘Uthman in charge of Al-Andalus. The main operation underway at that time was the difficult siege of Cordoba which was held by the...
  19. What if the October Revolution in Russia failed?

    The short term political outcome is that the Provisional government is replaced by the Constituent Assembly which produces a government dominated by the SR's and led by Chernov who will probably include Kerensky as a minister. Are people like the Night Stalker going to be happy with a SR Pink...
  20. AHC: A 1943 Carrier Battle

    My understanding is that it was IJN policy to keep the aircrews with their assigned carrier. This comes up with discussions about why Zuikaku wasn't at Midway.
