  1. WI: Saddam replaced by a moderate?

    I think Hussein's brother-in-law Adnan Khairallah would work quite nicely.

  3. WI: Instead of Amtrak the rail companies were subsidized?

    Even if the government started subsidizing passenger rail sometime after around 1958 or so, it's likely you'd only have a handful of railroads still in the passenger business. Only the very largest passenger carriers (NYC, PRR, NH, AT&SF, etc.) would probably still operate trains; smaller roads...

  4. WI: Ronald Reagan Privatizes Amtrak

    Reagan and the GOP had zero interest in privatizing Amtrak: their plan was to shut it down and dissolve it, leaving all passenger service in the hands of local agencies like SEPTA, METRA, New Jersey Transit, Metro North, etc. If Reagan's plan had come to fruition, then long-distance passenger...

  5. AHC/WI: Shia Baathist Iraq

    The only scenario I can think of off the top of my head is having Nadhim Kazar's coup against Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein succeed. Kazar was probably the highest ranking Shiite in the Iraqi Ba'ath Party and head of the Directorate of General Security, as well as one of Saddam...

  6. TL-191 DBWI: What if the U.S. Had Re-annexed the Confederacy?

    I've heard that one, too. Alot of historians say that loyalty to "the cause" was greatly overblown and if a plebiscite had been held by Dewey, a vote in favor of annexation (albeit by a slim margin) would've been the likely outcome.

  7. TL-191 DBWI: What if the U.S. Had Re-annexed the Confederacy?

    On May 10th, 1945 President Dewey approved JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff policy) 1067 which directed the U.S. forces of occupation in the Confederate States to "...take no steps looking toward the economic rehabilitation of the Confederacy [nor steps] designed to maintain or strengthen the...

  8. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    Great job, Kaiser! I really enjoyed your posts on the German-Arab Split. :D I honestly hope, however, that the U.A.R. is able to survive until the present day - it's only fair that a group that got shafted IOTL is able to come out on top ITTL. As for Frankie, I've got an old draft of mine with...

  9. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes II

    That is once major clusterfuck. :eek:

  10. Weber's Germany: The Veterinarian Totalitarian

    It looks like the Veternarian is about to pull off the landgrab of the century! :eek:

  11. WI: Al-Qaeda never existed

    This can only end well. :rolleyes:

  12. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    A riveting update, Kaiser! Things are going to be very tense in Algeria for the next couple of months, that's for sure.

  13. Name of a Republican Saudi Arabia?

    "The Arab Republic of Hejaz and Nejd"

  14. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    Nasser explicitly referred to a Fascist coup d'etat. I have a feeling Vichy is behind whatever is going on in Algeria.

  15. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    I'm so glad my fishing trip ended, 'cause those were some good updates/previews. :D I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in Algeria, as well as what will happen to Klaus in the future. Hopefully he can get out of that madhouse known as Der Reich soon enough.

  16. Fear Not the Revolution, Habibi: A Middle East Timeline

    Wow. Oufkir barely lasted two years. I'd feel sorry for him if he wasn't a dictator. :p It'll be interesting to see how Franco will react to a Soviet-aligned, philo-Ba'athist regime in Morocco. Franco can deal with Ba'athism, but I don't think El Caudillo would want to share a land border...

  17. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    Betweem 1914 and 1925, nearly a quarter of Mount Lebanon's population perished. Most of these deaths were due to disease or starvation, but thousands more were killed during the Ottoman Civil War of 1919-25. In this photo, a group of German diplomats overlook a pile of human remains from the...

  18. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    Don't forget the Poles. I wouldn't be surprised if there will be more Poles abroad than in Poland by the end of this TL. :(

  19. WI: Nixon gives Egypt nuclear plants

    I think that if Egypt got the nuclear plants, Nixon and his successors would do everything they could to try and dissuade Egypt from building nuclear weapons. Nuclear proliferation throughout the region could be deadly, and I doubt any President wants to hear that the likes of Cairo, Damascus...

  20. a Valkyrie Rises Over Europe, a Alternate Story of the Cold War

    I was always under the impression that Nineteen Eighty Four was aimed towards totalitarianism in general as opposed to one particular brand of totalitarianism? It always seemed as though Oceania and Eastasia* were Fascist, while Eurasia was Stalinist. *Especially Eastasia, which was clearly...
