Considering the difficulty that the Union had (and some might say still has) in "re-absorbing" the Confederacy IOTL, I think that it's possible that some of us might be underestimating the difficulty that it might have had in "re-absorbing" a Confederacy that had been independent for a...

Pearl Harbor being a disaster for the Japanese might not have saved the Philippines, but it would have been a hell of a shock to them. I assume that the failure would have been pinned on Yamamoto.

It's hard to imagine one not going nuclear in a world where nukes existed. Maybe, just maybe, WWIII could be a war of attrition where both sides were wearing themsevles down but weren't quite ready to pull the Final Trigger, and agreed to more or less a status quo ante with maybe some minor...

Excerpt from Flowers in the Sky, by M. Francis Foley, which followed the Space Race between the victorious powers in the Second Great War, from the break-up of the Trans-Oceanic Alliance to the collapse of the Greater EastAsia Co-Prosperity Sphere. "One of the unexpected issues that plagued...

I always thought it would be funnyif there was an English version of the "Divine Wind" storms that saved Japan - a "Holy Blast", say.

Yeah, he was probably a little too early for a Catholic President. Hell, even JFK took jib about being Catholic. Shame he had no descendants, though. Imagine an American General Bonaparte in charge of Overlord instead of Eisenhower. :)

It's probably ASB, but I wanna see a surviving New Courland.

"The Federated Commonwealths"

It's meant to be the original. I didn't really flesh out a TL for this - just trying to work on my map-making skills - so elements of this map may seem a trifle, shall we say, "improbable" to the hardcore AH.commer. I don't believe that there's anything that's flat-out "ASB" in it, but there's...

This map is now complete, but I intend to do another map set in this TL, showing a wider range of states in the Americas. This map finishes up with a small piece of Mexico. 1)The Republic of Florida (San Agustín) Chief Language: Spanish Chief Language: Catholicism Government...

"Hyper Mussolini" = "Worst Super-Hero Ever"

Thanks.

If there is one, I must have missed it.

Latest update of my work-in-progress map, now showing (part of) Lakhota. 1)The Republic of Florida (San Agustín) Chief Language: Spanish Chief Language: Catholicism) Government: Parliamentary democracy Neighbors: Virginia on the North, Louisiana on the West, the Cubas (not shown) to the...
