  1. Post 1905 Sanity Options For Czarist Russia

    Mannerheim was just one of several generals in Russian army. Tsar would has yet find him. Furthermore Mannerheim even hadn't lived in Finland at this point in many years and he even begun seriously learn Finnish only just after he was turned 50, soon after Finland gained independence. At this...
  2. What if Augustus does even better than OTL?

    Marbod, another strong German chief would be still big problem unless Arminius can eliminate him.
  3. What are Some Points of Departure that Would have Likely led to a More Powerful United States?

    And my ideas: - USA takes Canada during ARW or War of 1812. - George Washington serves third term. - Southern states gradually abolish slavery and no civil war. - USA takes Baja California, Sonora and Chihuahua in 1850's. - Lincoln is not assassinated. - Better treatment of American natives. -...

    Not need to delete. Just report and ask mods to move this to right forum.
  5. What if Augustus does even better than OTL?

    Whilst Tiberius was pretty flawed emperor he was capable commander so I would spare him. About Germanicus I am not so sure. And Roman history proves that generals made ratherly poor emperors altough there was too some expections. My proposal would be let either Gaius or Lucius Caesar (Augustus'...
  6. Rosalind Franklin lives to 90

    Yeah, pretty few scientists are known from two massive scientic finding. And most of 20th century these things have been ratherly either cooperation of bigger teams or continuing works of previous scientists. So if Franklin manages to live at age of 90 (and on that point she has retired already...
  7. Which country would be wealthier in 2010 &2011? And to what extent?

    You mean WW2, right? What would be point? Soviets hadn't there any influence and hardly even Stalin wanted that anyway. Perhaps Italy could be divided after referendum where monarchists manage to win and Northerners establish the republic. This is only way how I could see division happening...
  8. Could the US have a strong Communist Party as the opposition?

    McCarthy just saw everybody who were more left-wing than he as communist. And probably it was mostly his own ego-boost campaign.
  9. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Ukrainian history is so different from OTL that probably not. Oligarchs were mostly product of transition from communism to capitalism. So this wouldn't happen unless Ukraine become communist/syndicalist or some other things happen what could lead such corrupt oligarchist system.
  10. The Iron Eagle III - Fallen Eagle

    Not really sure if USA bothers with China ITTL. Unlike in OTL ITTL opening ties with China is not really beneficial. And Russia wouldn't be happy. It surely one of most anti-communist nations ITTL. But Jewish SoS is indeed intresting. Just let see what is German reaction. Probably are ranting...
  11. Challenge: Complete muslim-majority Bosnia (more than 80%) by 1900

    Impossible without enforcing people to convert, enforcing people move around, wars or genocides. And even then it is not certain that you could succesfully get such numbers. Not sure if even that if Ottomans give some nice privileges if local Christians convert to Islam.
  12. Could the US have a strong Communist Party as the opposition?

    Unlikely even if you butterfly USSR completely. At best you would get some moderate socialist party but hardly much more. But even then it would require avoiding of red scare.
  13. How long can Decolonization be delayed?

    Even if you butterfly WW1 away you would see some degree of decolonisation altough it would be lesser degree and take much longer. In some places it would be really gradual process and some places would see long and brutal colonial wars.
  14. What if the Afroasiatic Peoples/Afroasiatic Languages NEVER Existed?

    Afro-Asiatic languages are already by themself so ancient that other proto-languages of modern language families probably weren't even formed yet. It was already widespread over Middle East and North Africa when Indo-Europeans begun to move around. So this just means extremely unrecognsible...
