  1. WI: President Donald Trump

    Ironically, Yeltsin apparently attempted to sell Karelia back to Finland and the Kurils back to Japan without success.
  2. Axis Evacuation Tunisia April 1943

    The Germans were able to evacuate 1 million+ soldiers and civilians by sea in 1945: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Hannibal Of course, that was in the Baltic, not the Med, and over a period of several weeks.
  3. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1904

    Well, frankly, it's the equivalent of claiming one would support Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia, because you like his economic policies. Actually, the number of people Slobodan had killed is significantly lower than those Roosevelt did.
  4. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1904

    Well, unsurprisingly, the inhabitants of this site don't think that Filipinos really qualify as "people." Good to know they have their priorities straight!
  5. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1904

    Do note the epilogue on the Wikipedia page about Standard Oil:
  6. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1904

    Yes, Roosevelt was an all-around creep who never met a war he didn't like, or a territory he didn't want to annex, and was the primary instigator of the genocidal campaign in the Philippines. Roosevelt was an avid eugenicist and white supremacist, who had friends like Madison Grant, eugenicist...

    Alton Parker, both because I admire him personally and because I'm not a fan of mass-murdering insane-warmongering "Nordic race"-supremacist proto-Fascists.
  8. "What if Scotland did go it alone?" in the Daily Mail

    Very much vice versa.
  9. What should a sane Soviet leadership have done in 1922?

    Thread title is oxymoronic.
  10. AHC: Make Ireland's Population 50 Million by 2012

    Anyways, the POD for this is obvious. They find the gold at the end of the rainbow.
  11. Instead of Pearl Harbor, Japan invades Siberia.

    It would be more "Japan's futile attempt at attacking Siberia followed by defeat."
  12. Queen Elizabeth II assassinated in Ireland

    Well considering as late as 70-80 years ago quite a few people actually didn't consider the Irish to be "white" ... (Also your rather odd definition of race would make quite a few East Asians "white").
  13. CH: Soviets Don't Treat Conquests Badly

    In Romania but not Yugoslavia/Greece (although in retrospect the USSR probably wishes they'd let them keep those too). In any event, I was referring to the people of the countries, not their governments.
  14. CH: Soviets Don't Treat Conquests Badly

    Well Finland got off lighter from the USSR than any other German ally they got to.
