  1. Japan declares war on germany july 1941

    Japan became increasingly aligned with Nazi Germany and Italy for the following reasons stemming from the end of the First World War into the 1930s, so to reverse this to the extent that Japan became an enemy of the Axis powers in 1941, the following would have to happen: 1. Changes to the...

  2. Why isn't the Episcopal Church called the Church of America?

    After several changes over the years, the Episcopal Church is now officially named the "Episcopal Church in the United States of America" (ECUSA). Prior to the Revolution the Church was simply the Church of England (CoE), with its official head the reigning British Monarch. This simply...

  3. F4U Corsairs at Midway

    Excellent interpretation. The early successes of IJN aircraft in action against Allied P-36 and P-40 fighters, Wildcats, Buffaloes, and Hurricanes had much less to do with the supposed superiority of the A6M Zero than the excellent training and battle experience of Japanese pilots flying Zeros...

  6. That Golden Dawn Sky Tl-191's history of US & CS aircraft

    Yes, given its industrial base and the long history of experience with German aviation, the US would probably be largely self-sufficient with respect to both aircraft design and construction by the 2nd Great War. I agree, the CSA's aircraft industry would be uch more likely to be dependent on...

  7. That Golden Dawn Sky Tl-191's history of US & CS aircraft

    With respect to the naming conventions of the US and CS, I'd expect that they would actually mirror those of their powerful European allies, whose aircraft they build under license. For the USA, that means a heavily Germanic approach, focusing on the manufacturer's name together with a number...

  8. That Golden Dawn Sky Tl-191's history of US & CS aircraft

    When I read these books, I tended to presume that the USA and CSA probably borrowed much from their powerful, and possibly more technologically advanced, European Allies, especially in the First Great War. I presumed many of the aircraft used by the two North American powers would be...

  9. A Different Israel in a Different World

    Unfortunately, the illustrations from this article were lost during spatio-temporal transmogrification.

  10. A Different Israel in a Different World

    “Onward to Israel” Imperial Germany and the Founding of Israel Zionism, Ashkenazim, the Kaiser, and the Sultan. Before the outbreak of the Great War, Zionist leaders, particularly Theodor Herzl, saw Imperial Germany and the Ottoman Empire as likely partners if the dream of a Jewish...

  11. South American natives settle the Falklands

    Well, to reach the Falklands in the first place they'd have to be a seafaring people, probably deriving a significant proportion of their subsistence from fishing and sea mammals. I doubt they would be horticulturalists.

  12. AHC: 'Taiwan' your country

    Uh...Following a collapse of social order in the Great Depression, together with the rise of Communist, Fascist, Southern Secessionist, and Nativist warlords throughout the former United States of America, the remnants of the US Federal Government, still with the loyalty of most of the US Navy...

  13. Jimmy Carter and "The Great Pacific War" 1931-1933

    A few days ago, I cranked up my Samsung trans-dimensional search capacitor looking for interesting stuff from the multiverse. After a few dry probes, it came back with a student essay written in 1944 by Midshipman James Carter of the US Naval Academy. I presume this is the same James Carter...

  14. “European” Native Americans

    I wouldn't see these as equivalent to the situation in the new world. It is my impression the English didn't settle Ireland as much as they were absentee landlord exploiters, so there wasn't the need to force the Irish to "become English". As to India, the English were ruling over a population...

  15. “European” Native Americans

    I really think the "racial" phenotype has much to do with how Europeans would treat the native inhabitants of the new world, unless of course these inhabitants had evolved indigenous civilizations as technologically advanced as Europeans. Presuming they were technologically equivalent to actual...

  16. Given how long ago modern humans developed should we be more advanced?

    Several comments. First, as others have pointed out one must ask "advanced compared to what?" Given that we have only one sample to work with, why presume anything about the development of advanced civilizations other than what we can see from the sample provided by human beings on earth. I'd...

  17. AHC: Establish a large predator species in the New World

    In that case, I'd go with the African lion as the best bet. There are lots of them in zoos and their historical range in the old world ranged into temperate steppe and grasslands like the American Great Plains.

  18. WW2 AHC: Fighter Plane

    If we have to limit our purchase to actual airplanes, I'd go with something like the Fw 190D, F4U Corsair, or the Hawker Fury. If I could make one of my own, I'd aim for something with powerful radial engine, with good protection for pilot, engine, and fuel tanks, armed with mix of 20mm cannon...

  19. AHC: Establish a large predator species in the New World

    I'm jumping in here cold, but I don't understand the thread. Wouldn't jaguars, grizzly bears, cougars, or wolves count as "large predators"? Or for that matter, when humans migrated to the New World, we would have certainly qualified as a an introduced large predator species. To some extent, it...

  20. The US Navy's Nazi Zeppelin.

    Yes, Eckener hoped to obtain Helium for both ships and you are right Hindenburg was planned to have hydrogen cells within each helium cell to allow hydrogen, not expensive helium,to be valved to control buoyancy, which wasn't a bad idea at all. I thought about having my fictional USS Belleau...
