  1. WI: after the partition of India, the center of administration of Pakistan was in it's east (modern day bangladesh)?

    Hard to pull that off when most of the political elite and (more importantly) most of the military forces hailed from the west.

  2. WI: Atomic Bombing on German cities?

    Reminds me of a cracked.com article about nuclear disasters that I read years ago. Back in the 1950s, there were basically "Alright guys, now charge at that nuclear blast, and see what happen." In Vegas, nuclear blast from tests at the distance even became some sort of tourist attraction for...

  3. Refusing to Retaliate: Nuclear War

    I read somewhere in this forum that they conduct drills that were indistinguishable from the real deal all the time specifically to avoid this. This makes me wonder, If any president ever decide to do that in the event of an obvious nuclear strike, will somebody literally try to wrestle the...

  4. Rebuilding After Big Brother: A 1984 Story

    Hey, glad to see you're back!

  5. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    This comes to mind

  6. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    Well, the UK is still out there, so perhaps the Beatles could still popped around in this TL. I have no doubt that the Nazis under Goebbels will have an even more negative reaction to them than even the Soviet Union IOTL.

  7. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    We thought the previous purges were bad enough, now we realized that those were but a teaser for things to come....

  8. Post here historical leaders who were of an ethnic minority (or foreign ethnic group) from the country that they ruled over.

    Indonesia have a history of the "king's" second in command/right hand man being from minority group. This is extremely useful for the "king" because the fact of the right hand man being from minority group curtailed his ability to usurp power. In modern time, ones of the most memorable name...

  9. The Iron Eagle II - Days of Strife

    I wonder how medical science advance in the reich compared to OTL and ATL United States/rest of the world. Even if they have ample supplies of fresh human bodies for experimentation, I can see that at the end of the day, all they managed to do is to inflict pointless human suffering while...

  10. The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War

    Maybe, just maybe, once they have destroyed everyone and everything in this world for "their cause", at the top of that pile of ash, those who were left will finally starting to ask "what now?"

  11. How bad could Chernobyl have gotten?

    Could the party establishment doubled down on their early denialism and completely refused to evacuate nearby settlements? At least for a longer time than OTL.

  12. Seven Days to the River Rhine: the Third World War - a TL

    Speaking about the gang of eight, what happened to them? Did their underground complex got destroyed in the nuclear inferno, or they survived initially? Because it has been established here that Reagan and the Mt. Cheyenne complex survived direct nuclear strike.

  13. AHC: Indonesia as rich as South Korea

    Some folks above already mentioned the instabilities under parliamentary democracy in the early 1950s. First I'm gonna be honest, I still quite like a parliamentary democracy system, especially compared to the original (not amended) 1945 constitution, which I found to be, uh....let's just say...

  14. The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War

    Gonna repost this meme here:

  15. The Iron Eagle - The History of the Cold War

    Every man a king!

  16. What if Ataturk lived and ruled longer

    Fair point. Islamization wave in our time is so strong, the only thing that seems succeed to secularize society (to a degree) within the Islamic world is the 70 years of massive anti religious oppression in the former Soviet central Asia.

  17. What if Ataturk lived and ruled longer

    More secular, maybe. But more liberal is more questionable as he was pretty dictatorial during his life, although he used that power to try to modernized and westernized the country.

  18. The Death of Russia - TL

    This should be pretty obvious, but it got me thinking, with the utter destruction of Russia beyond all recognition, all documentations about what life were about in Russia before the calamity must be much, much more precious ITTL. It reminds me of this one documentary about Russian aviation...

  19. How Accurate this 1982 RAND study on Ethnic Factor within Soviet Military?

    Perhaps they deemed the Central Asians as non-threatening enough so it won't be necessary. Respondents often compared contempt openly shown by some minorities like the Balts or Chechens with the Central Asians who, although also resenting Russians bossing them around, were generally less...

  20. How Accurate this 1982 RAND study on Ethnic Factor within Soviet Military?

    Unfortunately there's not much information on this, as the Central Asians were mostly clumped up together by respondent, and I got the sense that most assumed relations between the central Asian Turkic Muslims to be good. I think one of the only clearer example on intra Central Asian's relation...
