  1. USAAF strategic targets in Japanese occupied Asia

    Were there strategic targets in Japanese occupied Indochina, Korea or Manchukuo that could have been bombed by the USAAF in WW2? I have read the Wiki article about limited bombing of Indochina and Thailand. Manchukuo had some heavy industry in coal and steel. I think northern Korea was more...

  2. A more left wing KMT during WW2

    As I understand it, the KMT was a "left" organization. Chaing Kai Shek represented the "right" wing of the KMT. Is it possible to have a social democrat or socialist KMT? I am not talking about the CCP, Mao or Maoist ideology. Who could be a "pink" socialist leader? Ris4History

  3. Napoleon III and a Royal CSA

    I research various AH history ideas by searching AH.com. I like to see what other board members have said about different AH scenarios. Recently, I stumbled on scenario involving Napoleon III and the CSA. A member seemed to state that Nap.3 had suggested that the CSA should adopt a monarchy...

  4. Alternate Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact

    Somewhere I read that originally the USSR was supposed to have gotten more territory. This additional territory would have left Soviet forces more exposed and would have actually made it easier for Nazi forces to surround and destroy a larger chunk of the Red Army during Barbarossa. Does...

  5. Alternate Baseball Organization

    How could one have American baseball organized around European style "supporter groups" and include more community owned teams with "supporter groups" having some say in club business? Now, I am not asking for "supporter groups" making on field or player decisions. Some early corporate...

  6. FDR and the US Supreme Court

    What are some the results and butterflies if FDR succeeds in "packing" the US Supreme Court?

  7. Vietnam during WW2

    I have a couple of questions regarding Vietnam/Indochina during WW2. 1)How many troops did the IJA have in Vietnam? Where were they concentrated? Some research I have done seems to indicate the majority of the IJA was based in Tonkin. Tonkin is/was the extreme northern region bordering...

  8. Prohibition and better "near beer"

    I read somewhere the Pres.Wilson originally supported a higher level of alcohol. I think it was around 2.5%. Congress didn't support that and we went to 0.5% alcohol. Would it have made any difference if "near beer" would have been allowed to be 2.5% alcohol? Would this have saved any of...

  9. A couple of Soviet questions

    1) I recently read about a Soviet leader that was supposedly be groomed by Stalin as a replacement. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name or retrace where I found the name. It started with a "P" and he was the leader of the Byelorussian party and apparently coordinated the Soviet...

  10. Larger Soviet occupation of Austria

    Is there a realistic way for the USSR to have a bigger occupation zone in Austria? Is there anyway the Soviets could have kept the Wallies out of Vienna? I read somewhere that the Red Army actually occupied part of Steyr, but handed it over to the British. I'm not looking for a Soviet-wank...

  11. Malaya as a Dominion

    Could any non-white British colony, especially Malaya, have been made a Dominion pos-WW2. This would have been a way to "save" the Empire/Commonwealth.

  12. Save Singapore

    Could Singapore have been saved? The Japanese were outnumbered. Could the British have built and held landward defensive positions? I know conventional wisdom seems to indicate Churchill refused to reenforce the Far East theater. But what would have needed to happen to allow the UK to remain...

  13. Trying to remember Far-Right Canada thread

    Hello Forum: I remember reading a thread, long ago, that turned Canada and maybe Australia into pseudo-McCarthy like governments. I believe Canada enacted some kind of eugenics law. I believe the time period was post WW2. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I would like to know the name...

  14. Early conservation-no clear cutting

    I'm not sure where to put this post. So I'll start in the early 20th century. Is there anyway to stop or control clear cutting the forests of the Appalachians. I not asking for no logging just controlled. I thought maybe the states might see logging as long term income. So they do not allow...

  15. How would syndicalism work?

    How was syndicalism supposed to work? I understand a union was supposed to take control of an industry or maybe a specific plant. But, was there any central planning? Would the the state have gone to the coal miners union ans said "We need XX amount of coal this year." Would the union have...

  16. Battle of France

    Can anyone recommend a good book on the Battle of France 1940? I am especially interested in the post-Dunqerque timeframe. My understanding is that the French army actually fought better after Dunqerque. My knowledge of this period is limited so I could have my facts wrong. Thanks!

  17. French 2nd empire railway development

    If France won the Franco-Prussian war, would this in anyway change the development of French railways? I know this is one of those niche transportation AH questions. My first thought is the Eastern railway which lost a lot of its lines in Alsace-Lorraine. Would there be earlier...

  18. Austria and her military frontiers

    I have two questions regarding the Austrian/Habsburg military frontiers. My understanding is that the military frontiers were controlled by the army and basically reported directly to the King-Emperor. I would also assume that this made it easier to deal summarily with anyone entertaining...

  19. What is the impact of an enlarged post-WW2 Austria?

    I've been reading through the AH archives and I found a discussion on post-war Austria regaining the South Tyrol from Italy. The discussion then moved onto Austria gaining Slovenia. So...what would be the impact of an enlarged Austria containing the present Austrian states and South...

  20. Reforming not eliminating the Dual Monarchy

    I would liketo discuss possibilities for improving the Dual Monarchy. I am not talking about destroying the Dual Monarchy. I don't want a "United States Of Greater Austria."I have been rereading WIKING's excellant TL on AH putting the Eastern Front first. AH comes out of this in a much better...
