  1. Best case scenario for native Americans in the US

    That still doesn't solve the biggest source of conflict which is the expanding white population demanding more land. The natives don't have enough population and power behind them to stop individuals or small groups from moving beyond the borders and setting themselves up. Once they do the...
  2. Best case scenario for native Americans in the US

    I don't see how you can get such large numbers of mixed Native and other in the U.S. as the population of natives in the U.S. was drastically smaller than in Central and South America. At the time of independence the white population was two orders of magnitude larger than the native population...
  3. Best case scenario for native Americans in the US

    It also not like they lasted all that long as a significant power in the area. As soon as the white population of Texas started to grow the power of the Comanche quickly faded. The United States also never fought the natives with all of its power. Most of the fighting was done by local...
  4. Best case scenario for native Americans in the US

    My question to this is what stops the settlers from just forming militias and taking care of the problem themselves. The British have no where near the administrative capacity or will to disarm the settlers.
  5. AHC: Make Escort Carriers Prevalent Among Developing Nations During The Cold War.

    Except which islands are so isolated from the others than can't be reached with air cover from another island.
  6. AHC: Make Escort Carriers Prevalent Among Developing Nations During The Cold War.

    Which developing countries would need aircraft far enough away from their own territory to justify a carrier?
  7. The Other Countries in a Cuban-Missile War Victory

    Also Europe is shattered and almost completely destroyed.
  8. AHC: Electrical civilization w/o steam power

    So unless they get lucky they are going to maybe produce a "battery" once but will be unable to reproduce it.
  9. AHC: Electrical civilization w/o steam power

    Did the ancients even know what zinc was? I believe it was discovered during the enlightenment.
  10. If no Alexander, then no slavery?

    It reads like it was written by an Iranian nationalist. But on the topic of slavery I figure that it existed in the empire before the conquests of Alexander and after and would continue to do so with all of the successor empires until the modern era.
  11. Dice other than d6 see extensive use in antiquity

    They were used. Examples of other types have been discovered.
  12. Refusing to Retaliate: Nuclear War

    That only works if the many people working at a base are from one area. In the U.S. at least they have long discarded units only raised from a single state even let alone only one city. The only part that works that way is the national guard which doesn't handle strategic weapons.
  13. Gaston Glock was never born

    I can see it. Most modern firearms end up with very similar systems just due to the fact that all designs will converge after a long enough time onto a generally most optimized design for each roll.
  14. Gaston Glock was never born

    But let's not imagine that no one else could come up with this. As Forgotten Weapons has demonstrated over the many years he has made videos there are many people who designed firearms. Many of them were perfectly fine but were not successful for often small reasons. If Glock doesn't do it...
  15. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    Maybe he tries even harder to get the Americans to invade and retake portions of the British Empire that were lost during the war. Which in OTL America wasn't really that keen on. Or some of his weirder Balkan ideas.
