  1. WI China Nationalizes all factories in China

    They could do command capitalism to get rid of oligarchs Recent history such as in Egypt proves in developing countries this move actually generates growth Now for China that's a misnomer because there's currently rapid growth and they wouldnt get any population pressures settled from new...

  2. Possibility of getting the US and Japan on the same side in an alt-WWII?

    Easy, if America never gets so riled up about China through no rape of Nanking

  3. Russian Confederation

    It's not hard. The whites when the won would fight civil war but the more idiotic ones would die out like Kornilov and a series of regional leaders would take over and incorporate independent leaders, conquering others

  4. Greatest Pre-1900 European Dynasty?

    House of Palatinate-Zweibrücken were by far the best and most competent leaders, having 3 of the 4 best Kings of Sweden as their only rulers

  5. Any chance of a resurgent Mongol Empire?

    I mean Qing itself proved nomads up to the 1700s could do something India is the traditional weak point, and the population of Persia, a collapsing state, was only 10 millio nor so after temurlan's genocide Using massed cavalry and light cannon were proven in the end of the 1600s were...

  6. WI: Kingdom of Israel?

    King of Britain, defintely not a jew. most Zionists abroad and there were leftists

  7. Serbia unsupported in 1914

    Alright Serbians: 500,000 (they mobilized that much over the course of the war) Austrians: 3 million Result: 3,000,000 dead austrians ;) For real there's plenty of evidence the Austrians wouldn't mobilize the whole army (stupid and economically ruinous for a state already with...

  8. UK intervention in Franco-Prussian war of 1870

    I said Prussia not Germany as a whole Prussia didn't really have any embarrassing defeats If you keep mentioning it. But Steinmetz wasn't even that incompetent. He beat the French, and his logistics were fine. His stupid charge was just an iteration of the Vorwartz spirit of the Prussian...

  9. Morean War, Better Option for Venice?

    Venice would have been subordinate to Austria's interests if it was made a part of Austria, but a simple treaty would have done well.

  10. Earlier Colonization in the New World in 1200 AD?

    The Spanish had a hidalgo culture which in the Muslim world is the equivalent of a ghazi culture- kill, conquer, brutalize, enslave, and convert for glory. The conquistadors were all examples of cunning, strong men who rose out of the culture of the reconquista. The norse and Andalusians didn't...

  11. ottoman southern Italy in 16 century ?

    Definitely possible since it would have been int he Italian wars when the peninsula is too divided, and Ottoman did invade Taranto at some point. I can imagine that Venice, which had positive trade relations with the Ottomans despite wars and enriched itself on Ottoman trade, would let them pass...

  12. UK intervention in Franco-Prussian war of 1870

    Tha'ts a big underestimation of hte gap: this war was stuied ofr forty years because of how imalanced and ecisive it was, tFrance lasted only short time and was abbsolutely stomped. By the time the British would even make it there, it would be too late. France had no hope after Sedan. The...

  13. WI: A sincere Japan?

    this is for sure the smartest move Japan could have made and could only be done under very specific conditions. 1. Ishiwara Kanji is never politically outmaneuvered by Tojo, he was a staunch Asianist and actually almost revolted against his superiors when he found out that manchukuo was...

  14. Serbia unsupported in 1914

    This on pint #1 so hard, the Serbs would have beaten the Austrians, humiliated them, and then Europe would have smelled blood and threatened Austria to stand down. At that point, Germany, with no "1914 fever", the confidence OTL of quick victory (since Austria lost) wouldn't back austria and...

  15. A large Jewish Empire oppressing a tiny Rome by AD 0

    This looks interesting and yeah keep in mind that a lot of biblical history is a fabrication. Consensus for example was that David was never named King by Saul's son but was a rebel most of his life, not someone in Saul's court, etc. That being said we can gain some edges on reality...

  16. Earlier Colonization in the New World in 1200 AD?

    I think it would just be the Normans and Andalusians since almost nobody else had any motivation. Byzantines and Arabs benefited from traditional trade lanes, and Italy boy proxy through them. A man actually proved he could circumnavigate with an old Egyptian reed and wood dhow and an...

  17. UK intervention in Franco-Prussian war of 1870

    They didn't really use swarm tactics but a creative series of Miss control measures, all of which involved having fighting generals who gave the impression of swarming because they were willing to sacrifice and didn't give up. If one approach failed, they tried another. I don't see how the...

  18. WW1- Belgian Gallipoli?

    Im sure best case is the Germans just dig new trenches inland.

  19. What ultimately made the Japanese surrender in WWII?

    It's not an insult not to understand psychology, or any subject. I can't find one great power that surrendered because a powerful enemy entered the war. It might be part Soviet attack part nuke, but it's definitely not 60 40 but 99-1 for the nuke. When Prussia, Sweden, France (many times)...
