  1. What If WW1 ended in 1916?

    I seam to be in the minority. I think that if you get a peace treaty in 1916 with the changes the OP said happened then I think it turns into something MUCH closer to a white peace. Germany and Austria will not being doing that much worse in this TL and the US will be weaker than it was when it...

  2. What if Japan and Italy fought in World War I on the side of the Central Powers?

    Italy siding with Austria while highly unlikely is the bigger factor as it frees up a LOT of troops that can then go and face Russia AND it would force a longer front on France as Italy comes in from the south. If this happened on day one that could end up with France and Russia out of the war...

  3. The concept of the Nazi takeover of South America (& Argentina in particular) was a ridiculous distraction before, during & after the war

    Well it was a mostly pointless concern during the war. Yes some of South America had good relations with Germany and some areas had a lot of Germans. My own Great Grandfather lived in South America for a number of years running a farm before moving to the US. All of this between WW1 and WW2...

  4. What if Churchill didn't under-estimate the Turks at gallipoli?

    And i doubt that a land invasion was truly possible at that time and at that distance. The US and GB and their Allie’s had a hard time in WW2 pulling off major landings from the sea and that was with improved tactics, much better technology including better landing craft and radios to keep...

  5. What are the Chances the SS Gets Purged in a Nazi Victory Scenario?

    This is yet another post we’re the OP skips the how to get to the result. But without knowing the ”how” it happened we can’t reasonably discuss the results. As the assumptions one person makes on hwo it happened may look nothing like another’s person how it happened and thus they have a...

  6. What if Churchill didn't under-estimate the Turks at gallipoli?

    To answer the question the OP asked…. what if Churchill didn't under estimate the Turks. We have two asnwers 1) The answer to the asked question.: Nothing changes, Why? Contrary to popular opinion Churchill was not the ONLY person involved in planning this. Nor was he 100% in charge. And...

  7. What if Churchill didn't under-estimate the Turks at gallipoli?

    You need a bit of both. You have to accept the coasts which frankly no one in that campaign wanted to do. The navy didn't want to accept the cost if forcing the battle so they turned back and the invasion plan was put forward. But then again the navy didnt want to pay the cost yo put the...

  8. The Lusitania Disaster would make for a fast-paced Hollywood thriller..

    Ignoring what really happened as that is open to arguments and none of us have been to the wreck or were there back in the day. We are left with a few facts. Not the least of these is the extremely long time that both GB and the US put on the relaese of all info they had. They kept the...

  9. What if Churchill didn't under-estimate the Turks at gallipoli?

    It may be more effective to run the navel gauntlet.

  10. Earning the vote through National Service of some type.

    in the book it is pointed out that EVERYONE is gambling with their live and health and even those that are chalanged may end up in some sort of dangerous position. I forget the example used but to use the ne above about the catapiler. It may be poisonous or in a hazardous location. It may not...

  11. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    You cant have you cake and eat it too. If you are using the Atom Bombs in Europe (were in RTL they were NOT needed) then those bombs CANT be used in Japan. No matter how you want to flip this the US was not up to producing tons of bombs in the first year of production. So once the US is in...

  12. Highest possible development of piston engined aircraft.

    If you look at attempts to build racers such as rare bear they have not gotten much faster then the very end of the war super prop aircraft. So i doubt that the speads would increase much. The aerodynamics will improve and better prop design will gain a bit as well. But there is very little...

  13. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    A hanger queen aircraft is exactly what you dont want, Because it is much to likly to break while on the bombing mission. The B-29 was temperamental enough. And we still cant get around the simple fact that the US is not handing a furst generation nuclear weapon over to GB. And there is no...

  14. No 26th Amendment - US voting age stays at 21

    Eventually this will become an issue and it may end up in the lap of the supreme court, We have several different things going on. Age 18 you are considered an adult from a legal point of view (at least in most states back then) Age 21 to vote. Age 18 to register for the draft. Age 15-16 to...

  15. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    You are. Still ignoring that every bomb dropped on Germany is a bomb you can’t drop on Japan and by early 45 Germany had zero chance to win and was not putting up that hard a fight vs the resis Japan was putting up and the projected horror of Invading Japan itself, So why in the world waste...

  16. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    It depends on your definition of late in the war. If it is post D-Day and the Bombs CAN be used vs Japan then 100% they are getting used vs Japan, Post D-Day Japan was the harder nut to crack. Once the Breakout from the beachhead was achieved there was never a chance that the Wallies would...

  17. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    While it is unlikly the US and or Japan may have DoW’ed Japan for invading yet another country in Asia. GB probably wouldn’t (unless the US did) because it had one war already. The US on the other hand was not having any more of Japan. This is the reason for the embargo and the economic freeze...

  18. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    Great yet ANOTHER post where the OP just assumes that the Atom Bombs were not needed, Is there any chance we can di for this Anti -US Anti-Bomb comments/posts what we did for the infamous sea mammal? Because this is both ridiculous, and insulting as well as getting out of control with how often...

  19. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    The other trouble With this concept is that Japan and the US had been at each other’s throats for more than a decade at this point. And if GB forms any sort of aliance with Japan the US is not going to be happy. In order for the US to not go ballistic over this Japan will have to A) leave...

  20. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    Where in the world do you find ANYTHING that indicates that Japan wanted out of China?????!?!?!??. NOTHING forced Japan to go to war with China. (Or anyone else for that matter) NOTHING stopped Japan from just picking up and leaving China any time it felt like it. So if Japan wanted out of...
