  1. Neanderthals develop written alphabet before contact with Homo sapiens

    This is probably an outdated theory. See post #4 . Göbekli Tepe is buil before agriculture and looks stunningly more advanced than Stone Henge, which is 6000 years younger. It seems more likely that development of spirituality, gods, religion, is far more important in humanoid development than...

  2. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    Completly disagree. The French intervention of 1831 was already on the edge. An outright annexation by France would not be accepted by the Great Powers. especially by a revolutionairy France as after1830. Despite the internal problems the other Great Power had. Only possible if , as you...

  3. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    As an adition of the map above. A Greater Belgium like this, mean a far greater 'Dutch, in all her dialects, and Luxeburgisch speaking population. Although the upper class would speak French, as in the North, I doubt if the new Begian regime would dare to force French as administrative...

  4. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    Map made by HistoryDraft on devianart. According to the maker this is a result of an earlier and more violent split of the Netherlands. I do like the map how ever to me it is more likely that the North Netherlands will include the river island Norh of Geertruidenberg. More plausible is that...

  5. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    There is one aspect often forgotten of the Belgian Revolt. The revolt was not a stand alone event. The restauration regimes post Napoleon were very, very repressive. The censor ship and secret police repression in the whole of Europe was very severe. Every slightest liberal or remotly...

  6. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    If a Greater Belgium will appear at the negotiating table in lets say a treaty in 1839 in London, it would have a greater population which is common to use Dutch as the administrative language and would be hostile to a Francophone administration. Further there will be a larger Calvinistic minory...

  7. AHC: Greater Belgium/Northern Brabant joins the Belgian revolt.

    That is the flaw of School History in the North Netherlands, nearly, every thing is pushed to the reliogius cause while in reality religion was a secondary point or at least most of it a minor factor. See the 80 years war or civil war as it is someimes called in the South (belgium) since it...

  8. Malaya What If

    I am counting the post up to 7 December, like the seconds to midnight at 31 December 😄

  9. January 1943. The German View

    It seems Germany is more or less in the same situation as in 1918. Won the East front but is confronted by the, un imaginable, production capacities of the USA and Great Brittain. As example the Sturm troopers during the Micheal offensive in 1918 were perprex of the quantity of food, bevarge and...

  10. Malaya What If

    I completely agree with this analyse. How ever I start to compare the present situation with the situation of the 1930ties and early 40ties and I do start to see several parallels in case of leadership and political will with our present time. The relative simple improvements, tiny alterations...

  11. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    Corret notvto dive in to this, but it will greatly impact your nice time line of the MFK

  12. Marineflieger Kommando: MFK - Hitlers Fleet Air Arm

    An occupation of Murmansk, is a major succes for the Germans. This deprived the Sovjets of a major supply base of the very, very much needed Western Allies. Only Persia and Siberian coast is left open for supplies

  13. Charles V gave the Low Countries to Austria Philip II continue reconquista?

    Interesting input. But remember, the Burgundy lands are Not His realm, here now part of the Austrian branch, his uncle. Ande he was not realy a hard line devoot man. So what you sugest Philip II could have more time, money and energy to fight the Ottomans and take some easy picks on the South...

  14. Charles V gave the Low Countries to Austria Philip II continue reconquista?

    Just a thought Charles V devided his realm different. The Burgundian kreist, the Low Countires would be part of the Austrian Habsburg realm while Castille, Arragon and Naples went to his son Philips II. Now the quarrels of the Low Countries is not Phillips II concenrn. Would Phillips a devout...

  15. The Grand Duchy of the West - A Valois-Burgundian TL

    The winter campaign should take it's toll on the French mob troops as well, despite chirugians and supplies. By the time of Spring normaly armies of this size, and in this time period, are melted away, due to sickness, looting ''accidents'', desertion, since the mob took its looting share. The...

  16. The Grand Duchy of the West - A Valois-Burgundian TL

    Why should there be anti Burgundian sentiments allong the Rhine? These cities and towns benefit tremendous from trade with the Low countires. The winter campaign of France taken Burgundy by suprice should create a reaction. One of this leasson learned , by the Duke should be the creation of a...

  17. Royal Netherlands Navy as it could be in 1942

    Below a possible booring thread of the political change which could make the naval strenght of the Royal Netherlands Navy a bit stronger and or more modern in the NEI. I tried it to keep it as plausible as posible although in OTL the cabinet, in January 1940, ordered the construction of at least...

  18. Malaya What If

    I am not refering to the strategic part, but the tactical. Just the audacity to execute an operation on this scale and in a operation theatre of this enourmous size with weapons whihc were hardly used in conflicts before.

  19. Malaya What If

    This is excactly how it should be seen in (militairy) history. In matter of fact the whole attack on the 7th and 8th, also in Asia, must be seen as a magnificent military undertaking seen from military perspective. An attack over sheer distances, using never used military hard ware (carrier...

  20. Malaya What If

    Interesting discussion of a depth charge attack from a Japanese Imperial Navy ship on a British Royal Navy submarine may trigger or not the USA Pacific fleet. It is not only the stand of technology of the communication techniques or the (non-) ability for decoding of that time period. The...
