On AH-com there's a fresh thread about Maryland being whisked away to post election 1860 (or maybe pre-inauguration 1861?). This made me wonder - how long before hungry Marylanders who lost their US Federal bureacracy jobs start looting Pennsylvania farms for food? Lucky for them 40% of power...

Could this vehicle be modified into an APC with 10 dismounts? Or at least 8?

In a fanfic I've come across a character, an USA citizen, who had served in the IDF. Thinking of it - what about service in e.g. the French Legion Etranger? Is that legal? No consequences? Doesn't this lead to loss of citizenship? I remember FDR issuing a pardon to US citizens who had served...

You are SI'ed into an European leader on 1.I.1939. To sweeten the deal ROB tells you that you can get a gift of historical WWII AFVs (ready to use, with manuals, some spare parts and ammo), with folllowing limitations: - must had been in mass production and with the troops at end of 1944; -...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Milei Described by Polish MSM as "extreme rightist" and "Argentinian Trump" won the election. Go Argentina! If there is a South America or Argentina thread already, Moderators are invited to merge :)

What is the correct English language terminology to state an Officer's rank AND branch? E.g. Grzegorz Trzetrzelewski would present himself as Lieutenant of Engineers/Artillery, or as Lieutenant in the Engineers/Artillery? BTW - Trzetrzelewski is a an authentic, if rare, Polish family name. A...

If there was no union between England and Scotland, would Scots have gained recognition as a separate language? Or would the cultural influence of England lead to homogenisation of the official&literary language with that of the South?

I was reading this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooters and I can't wrap my mind around: The remainder of the Hooters Girls uniform consists of the restaurant's brown ticket pouch (or a black one with the black uniform), tan pantyhose,[26] white loose socks, and clean white shoes...

On Ah.com the thread" Ottomans sit out WWI" made me wonder about the resources used to fight the Turks. My question is a bit different :) What if London (and Paris too) adopted a "Germany first" stance like the US in WWII? What if Easterners and ankle biters are sidelined after Gallipoli and...

There is a thread like that on AH.com. I did some calculations and changed the premise a bit. Italy - sans the islands and cut-off at the Appenines (Genoa-Ravenna line, roughly) - replaces Florida almost exactly. This means that Piemont, Lombardy, South Tirol, Parma, Modena and Veneto stay in...

In 1983 in the UK the vote split c. 42,5-27,5-25,5% between Con, Lab and Dem-Lib. FPTP produced the following split of seats: 397 209 23 I am too lazy - and not THAT curious - as to go constutuency by constituency to see what could the use of the two stage system as used by France today*...

My bought as 2nd hand around 2010 machine has dided. Am undergoing forced transition :) from Win XP to Win11. What browser would be most likeable to my retrograde sensibilites? I've been a Firefox user but ... I don't like the Win 7 very much. So I am open to change. Also - anti virus. I've...

Was it possible, with a different and/or more competent ruling clique after Ranjit's death, for the Skih Punjab and neighbourhood to remain independent? Or at least vassalised, like Afganistan or Nepal? Somebody saner in London or Calcutta, instead of daydreaming nightmares of "masses of Russian...

What If a smart Hitler/SI/ISOT - noticing/knowing Churchill to be the textbook example of Traditional British Strategy - capture an island here, raid a peninsula there, invade Germany by way of Frisian Islands or - even better - Bulgaria, decided to play upon his phobias? Build earlier and...

Anybody know much about it? Strikes my fancy as an opportunity lost - an HE shell lobbing, three man turret (even if cramped) tank possible in '40. With HEAT and APDS ammo still capable of tank killing. Good for Far East up to the end of the war, in Europe/MENA up to early/mid 1943.

Dead for 2-3 years, but IMO still relevant. Or do I have to make a new thread about the game?

In OTL 1618 the Electorate (Kurfeurstum) Brandenburg and the Duchy (Herzogtum) Prussia unite under single ruler. Because reasons. One (major) reason being this dude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Frederick,_Duke_of_Prussia not leaving living sons. Let us imagine his eldest son - in OTL...

How would the world's economy look like today without China reforming? Imagine it staying on .. maybe not NORK level - but not very relevant. Maybe something on Indonesian scale? This boils over into how does the world look like in general, I suppose. Think of all the China arse licking in...

I suppose it goes under the "Culture" prefix ... As a non-native speaker I'm a bit confused - what does the expression "I want your babies" imply? Is it - "I admire you so much that I wish for my progeny to be sired by you", or is it - "I'm so randy and wet beyond reason! Fuck me now! Desecrate...

Stolen from AH-com. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1906-britain-and-ireland-relocated-se-of-madagascar.536069/#post-23749173 I wonder how much the UK economy will collapse at the New Better Location (NBL TM). E.g. the UK exported over 90M tons of coal, about 40% of its...
