  1. WI: A US state bans all marriage

    Georgepatton writes “”Stripping people married before the law of their marriages would be impossible and unacceptable””” There have been many ex post facto changes to marriage. People married under one set of rule and then the government changes the rules. People married when there was no...

  2. WI: A US state bans all marriage

    You can still get married, just that the State does not issue licenses. Its common law marriage.

  3. WI: A US state bans all marriage

    It would not ban marriage, it would end government issued marriage license. People would get married and then make separate arrangements concerning property, kids, medical arrangements, etc. It would be common law marriage, you are married because you act married

  4. What if virtually every aircraft carrier was sunk in WW2

    Slight correction. USS Langley was not an aircraft carrier, in 1937 it was converted to a seaplane tender with half its flight deck removed. USS Long Island (Escort Carrier) was the 8th Carrier, it was commissioned June 1941

  5. UK and Japan go to war in May 1941 - US reaction ?

    Lend Lease started 11 March 1941 so Britain did not have to pay any cash after that date. The problem was that the US had very little to send in 1941. Considering that the British had already bought up a lot of stuff and that the US had moblized in September 1940 with the calling up of the...

  6. WI Churchill lives another five years: his stance on Rhodesia?

    I thought Churchill was a Norman name. The Normans conquered the Anglo-Saxons. Maybe he was a Norman supremacist?

  7. Wi No Robert Moses?

    Not a fan of Moses, but it was Pennsylvania Railroad which tore down the Station House and that was because not only were the losing money on passengers but on top of that had to pay over $1 million a year in taxes on the building for the privilege of losing money. Was the State or City going to...

  8. Porsche Tiger Tank

    Being less efficient also means an increased need to get rid of waste heat and that is always a big problem in an armored vehicle with limited area for vents

  9. WI The Tirpitz survived the war?

    Neither the British and especially the US need another battleship, especially one which would require very expensive maintenance since parts would not be available. If they got Tirpitz they would certainly either sink it as a target or scrap it. I seem to remember the British had steel shortages...

  10. Railroad investmetn in the US

    How about no WW2 or no US involvement in WW2 US entry into WW2 put a brake on the switch from steam to diesel locomotives since the engines were used on ships and landing craft. Diesels allowed faster scheduled speeds since they did not require as much servicing along the route. The same with...

  11. British False Flag brings the USA into WWII

    I actually have a book which was part of that propaganda effort Its called "Total Defense" written by Clark Foreman and Joan Raushenbush published by Doubleday in 1940. Its a strange book, its format is like a thick memo pad with the first half a fake written by the "Reichburo for Political...

  12. AHC: Revival of the International Brigades

    Its called Al- Qaeda

  13. Save Singapore

    Defending all of Malaya with the forces that they had was a big reason they failed. With the British forces spread all over to hold all of Malaya this meant that the Japanese could take on isolated units one at a time. With the quantity and quality of the forces they had they needed to hold a...

  14. AHC: Prevent the Spanish-American War...

    Keep the USS Maine in a US harbor.

  15. AHC WI President Wendell Wilkie

    Wilkie was never isolationist, he was a internationalist, he waffled back and forth in public during the election to try to get votes but so did FDR. The 1940 election was between two internationalist who were afraid to come out totally so they downplayed it

  16. Historical question on artillery

    Armies usually had a separate Siege Train with heavy guns for attacking fortifications. It would not follow the army for every battle but was reserved for major attacks so that they would not have to drag such heavy guns all over the countryside.

  17. Moonlab; take two

    The effects of 1/6 gravity would be very important. Even today we know a lot about 1 gravity, some about 0 gravity and almost nothing on anything in between. For example does 1/6 gravity reduce bone and muscle loss 1/6 or does it have a greater or lesser effect

  18. Kennedy Really Killed By a Pro Segregationist

    Yet on the other hand the communist ties of Oswald were downplayed by the government and the MSM.

  19. Best Post-Soviet Leader of Russia

    You mean someone who would turn a blind eye to 1. Russian peacekeepers being attacked by a foreign government which had agreed to those peacekeepers? 2 a democratically elected president in a neighboring country being overthrown which threatens a major Russian naval base?

  20. Earlier Embargo Against Japan Over the Invasion of Manchuria?

    The US Army including Army Aircorps was at the lowest level between WW1 and WW2, only 132,000 troops. In the Philippines there was a total of 11,000. So if the Japanese decide on war then the US has little to stop them.
