    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    They made a document that was almost impossible to ammend. They made a document that banned the international slave trade when a sizeable contingent of its political class wanted to reopen it. They made a government that paid lip service to democracy ignoring the fact they wanted a return to...

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    Honestly the idea that the CSA would have kept the constitution they wrote is questionable at best.

    I mean, I like Jonathan but he's a lawyer not a physicist or a philosopher. Why does his opinion matter enough to even mention him?

    Philip Adrien, the first Catholic U.S. President (OC)

    Well yes they did I mean in the context of the work, it's very much a post 1930 phenomena.

    Philip Adrien, the first Catholic U.S. President (OC)

    Well I guess the nature of him becoming a Republican when he came from a class and ethnic background that was less apathetic and more opposed to their party. And then The 1924 Democratic ticket doesn't really make sense, the infamous convention that year was a war between what one could broadly...

    Philip Adrien, the first Catholic U.S. President (OC)

    I wasn't on whatever NCT is. And I'm not trying to be annoying I'm trying to understand because I'm confused about several decisions made in this TL. Edit: As for my tone, I'm just trying to be polite. Nothing else, I apologize if you felt it came off any particular way I guess I'll go check...

    Philip Adrien, the first Catholic U.S. President (OC)

    So I guess my question here is why insert an ahistorical figure into politics for this TL?

    Book Review: Disaster At Stalingrad

    Its not just his love for the German Army. For his essay in Dixie Victorious he went with the Cleburne Memorandum being embraced and Confederate Black Troops winning the war and ending slavery. Horrificly bad enough but then if one starts looking at his footnotes he had real and fake ones...

    Operation Eisenhammer in June 1943

    Citations are more important before I would weigh in on the value of one book standing against other studies.

    Do you still think that Portugal should have kept it's African Colonies?

    Alternate History General Discussion

    Its entirely fair to say that Fascism is an inherently contradictory, unstable and chaotic system and that to propose how it survives presupposes that it can somehow change to survive. How is that not a political supposition? It requires a degree of buy in to the project. Fascist victory was...

    Something can be a political decision and not a wholehearted endorsement? Also, nuance and context.

    What if Piggate along with evidence came out in the run-up to the 2010 general election?

    This is all probably true but David Cameron also definitely fucked a pig.

    No Aswan Dam

    So what is the point of building another smaller dam? How does that give Egypt the water and energy it needed? And why should a handover have been gradual? Why should London and Paris have been allowed to keep influencing Egyptian politics though that control? Why wouldn't Egypt try to make...

    No Aswan Dam

    How, exactly, do you think a smaller dam can be built on the Nile? And why should Nasser or any Egyptian Government have continued to allow Britain and France to own and operate the Canal? The loan refusals helped set into motion Nationalization, but the conflict that was it being controlled by...
