    What are some Pre-1900 real world historical events that would seem ASB and highly unrealistic in any other timeline?

    He was constitutionally incapable of leaving things alone?

    No idea how I could have missed it all this time, but I just binged "The Sea Eagles." Really spectacular work you did there.

    Is it possible to invade and occupy Saudi Arabia ?

    It's possible for a limited takeover. For example, Iraq/Saddam continuing south to seize the KSA oil fields, but leaving the rest of the country alone. I think that was the great fear of the coalition, since it would have left him with an enormous percentage of the world's oil reserves and...

    Venezuela as a modern day superpower

    Having read through this thread, it seems the OP put a lot of effort into a Venezuelan superpower scenario, but is lacking in the self-assessment needed to somewhat objectively judge whether it is plausible. In addition to that, despite numerous well-reasoned, detailed arguments why the...

    What are the chances the WAllies accept Nazi hegemony if the USSR falls?

    One additional problem for the air power argument, and to a certain extent the nuke argument as well: what is to stop the Germans from moving production further east? Obviously a herculean task, but nevertheless (as evidenced by the Soviets) a doable one. Bombers were definitely adding range...

    Let Them Pass

    He assassinates Nicholas, claims the crown for himself and marries his beloved Czarina. They live happily ever after. The end.

    Reich Turbulent (formerly named Der Rote Kampfflieger) - An Axis Victory TL

    Honestly, a basic grasp of logistics and intel would be good places to start.

    Heilige Maria: The Death Ride of the High Seas Fleet

    Youtuber who focuses on warships. A bit too much of a Britwanker for my tastes in the videos of his I've watched (I prefer as close to objectivity as possible), although I haven't watched the scenario in question.

    Which Losing Presidential Nominee Would've Made the Best President?

    Is there an option for "none of the above?" The problem with all of these people, as with all the presidents that were acually elected, is they weren't actually sufficiently competent to run a huge organization like the US federal government, much less set policy. The US needs something...

    The Dogger Bank War - how a North Sea battle changed the course of the 20th century

    I was enjoying this TL until it went off the rails with America becoming socialist/communist. Even in the depths of the OTL Great Depression, that was not going to happen, if only because the vast majority of socialists and all the communists were anti-Christian atheists, and the vast majority...

    Es Geloybte Aretz - a Germanwank

    Same with my high school. I'm not sure whether that is still the case, but I do know there is a German immersion charter school that is quite highly rated. I have my doubts bilingualism would have survived unless there was some compelling cultural reason for it to do so.

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance.

    Why would the "Black Brothers" need to get guns from the ANC when they can just buy them locally? The ANC were a terrorist organization at this point, so whatever training they can give would be significantly worse than whatever the US Army or Marines could provide, so again what would be the...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance.

    Ironic then that Truman was rumored to have been elected to the Senate due to the influence/vote rigging of the KC mafia.

    Yom Kippur War - Suez Canal Crossing Fails

    It's possible individual Israelis, such as Sharon, may have been killed in the battle, but the likelihood the Egyptians would be able to react to and defeat the Israeli attack is bordering on ludicrous. One of the many weaknesses of the Egyptian/Syrian/Arab armies was their strict adherence...

    No Miracle at the Vistula

    They aren't likely to get any sympathy from Germany, who they basically sucker-punched, and IIRC all of their neighbors have territorial disputes with them, so the best they can hope for at this point is German, Hungarian, Polish, Austrian, etc.-dominated areas being carved off. Worst case is...

    A Darker World War II: A Timeline Reboot by Zoidberg12

    There is an awful lot of "such and such army is victorious," but no reason why. Also, not enough attention laid to realistic timescale (as mentioned above) and logistics. I'm unconvinced the Axis could get as far as they did, and even more unconvinced the Allies would be able to push them back...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance.

    It's possible there will be some gun owners who would be interested in buying an old Moisin-Nagant rifle or whatever, but they would be in the minority. I also don't see any significant number of people buying crew-served machine guns. People back then didn't have money like they do now...
