    WI: FDR Managed To Expand The Supreme Court?

    Interesting comments on the dynamics of the OTL 1940 run. Honestly, the only way I could see Roosevelt winning in that case is if the Republicans feel confident and nominate Hoover or someone like him, and then the events of OTL 1940 happen, with Roosevelt taking a narrow plurality based on...

    WI: FDR Managed To Expand The Supreme Court?

    I think something has to happen with the conservative Dems in Congress, but given how they were anchored by the insular and unfree elections in the Solid South, I don't know how Roosevelt could actually bring any leverage to bear on them. He kinda tried to do that in 1938 and it failed. Maybe...

    WI: FDR Managed To Expand The Supreme Court?

    I honestly agree, but I guess you could say that Roosevelt would necessarily have been in a stronger position for the court-packing to have successfully gone through, and thus he would be in a better position afterwards too.

    Could The British Car Industry Be Saved?

    Yeah, that’s roughly the “one-sentence explanation” I’ve seen numerous times.

    If those who had died in "their time" had lived longer (if Oscar Wilde had seen WWI and other ideas)

    Indeed they did.

    If those who had died in "their time" had lived longer (if Oscar Wilde had seen WWI and other ideas)

    Yeah I remember that one! A very good story (like most of yours lel). Tho IIRC Jabotinsky was on the pragmatist, relatively pro-British end of Irgun, and relatively far away from Lehi and the other anti-British radicals. Of course, Zionists were more than happy to target the Brits a few years...

    If those who had died in "their time" had lived longer (if Oscar Wilde had seen WWI and other ideas)

    Honestly I think there's a chance that a more forthrightly Revisionist Israel paradoxically works out better for at least some parts of the region, as it would treat its conquests as just that, rather than as zones of exception that gradually spread to define the entire polity. Maybe something...

    Could The British Car Industry Be Saved?

    First off, a great and well-argued article. Short and sweet. But it brought something to mind for me: Honestly, I know the basic version of why that happened, as you alluded to in the article itself, but I've never seen an explanation that was longer than a couple sentences. If you happen to...

    AH Run-downs, summaries and general gubbins

    When I started writing this out, I practically promised myself that I wouldn't do the following, as I didn't want to bother anyone about it, but now that it's out there-I wonder if there's anyone here with expertise in the region who'd enjoy taking a look at this (if only to tell me how...

    AH Run-downs, summaries and general gubbins

    So yeah... Speculations on an Interwar "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" You often see the notion of a "revived PLC" bandied in alt-interwar AH about as a way to cordially unite much of Eastern Europe and create a power bloc strong enough to oppose Russian/Soviet and German revanchism-a...

    AH Run-downs, summaries and general gubbins

    Is this the right thread for an...AH musing I've been tossing around that is basically just an over-elaborated WI? Feel like it'd get more interest here than if made a thread for a half-baked AH premise without any in-universe material or anything.
