Better question is how to have someone other than Hoover President.
Of course the problem was not all Hoover. Congress was dominated by fiscal conservatives and opponents of Socialism. Roosevelt pushed his actions through 1933 - 1934 because the people controlling policy previous were...
Hmm... My Grandfather is not bankrupted by his investment in a local bank? It went under in 1930 or 31. As a investor and bank officer the law in those days led to the seizure of his farm/s and other investments to cover the banks debts. That could lead to me coming into adulthood in the...
Some notions of how German y might use 2-3 smaller carriers operational in or from 1939.
Operations in the North Sea and up to Iceland: Supporting or covering raiders headed to the Atlantic. The carriers don't accompany them, they conduct periodic anti reconnaissance sweeps in conjunction...
That all applies very well to the landing as executed. A pity I did not save the lecture notes from the class on this of 1982. So many items I can't remember The bulk of the criticism there was aimed at planning and preparations reaching back to when the first attempt needed. Two or the...
My original assumption derived from those discussions about Japan remaining aligned with Britain post 1920, which more or less requires Japan to drop most of its imperial ambitions. That raises a lot of questions about Japns activities, but the thread concerns China.
The KMT focus was on...
Agree in general. Raids and skirmishes are one thing, but weak transportation and a army weak in support makes them a weak threat to the Soviet Maritime, Far Eastern, Siberian, or Trans Ural districts. Neither is the Chinese Navy going to hie off and bomb Pearl Harbor, invade the Balikapan...
Am still reading on the anti Hitler conspiracy. If anyone has any recommendations for reading on this subject, or has comments I'd very much like to hear them.
Re: Molly Welsh. Working at age fourteen as a English servant girl. Accused of theft she was swiftly sentenced to transportation to one of the North America colonies. & to pay court and related costs she was Indentured. As part of this some entrepreneur purchased her Indenture papers and...
That the KMT did work with Germany during the 1920s and through 1937. One of the long term goals of the KMT was to terminate the "Unequal Treaties' & end the Concessions and other baggage. Germany had lost its enclave and colonial privileges post Great War. German businesses and other...
This derives from the multiple discussions I've seen about Japan as a Allied nation in WWII. The question/s revolve around how useful China is as a Axis supporter in WWII & the negative attention it receives (if any) from the Allies.
The PoD results in Japan not Occupying Manchuria in the...
My version of this had a PoD far back in the European dark ages or the Medival or Rennisance at the latest. The Reconquista spreads directly or indirectly to the Magreb & NW Africa in general. Either Spain confines its crusading to this region for a direct conquest. Or it gives effective...
The polygamy route was mentioned earlier. Lets assume a nation is culturally open to immigration, and allows multiple spouses. Said nation becomes well above average in prosperity, so a larger male population can afford a second bride and marriage brokers start working the global female...
All that did not help. To digress... I was looking at the course of nuclear physics research 1900 - 1942. It looks like a small jump to speed a few key steps up. That is Italy getting to a experimental reactor for power generation circa 1940.
