I think we tend to agree. However, I would point out that whilst culture was not adopted outright (particularly thinking of religion here, where the settler culture 'failed' for lack of a better word,) in terms of linguistics the settler culture very much won out in Ireland. Then there is the...
Well, I think if you asked anyone Irish, they would consider the plantation system put in place there to be a settler colony (heck, I am British and I recognise a settler colony when I see one.)
I don't think it would be a long stretch to get it to eventually be a dominion, if that is the...
I'm interested to see how the Romney Administration will handle Euro-Maiden and the Crimean Annexation... I'm expecting a much greater return to Cold War rhetoric than OTL...
Subscribed. :D
Boris Johnson was born in the USA and has a US passport as well as his British one...
I don't think this has really handicapped him in any way - I think it's likely he might run for PM.
I assume he'd have to renounce US citizenship upon getting the job though...
Cool. Thanks everyone, they're all looking interesting. I suppose the challenge is more to make Prussia still exist, but not be a challenger for the title of leader of Germany or not integrate...
My apologies if this is a topic which has been discussed before, I've had a quick search through the sub-forum and I can't appear to find it if it has. My question is this;
With a POD of 1800 (preferably later but I'm not sure if it is possible), is there a way of creating a Germany in which...
My thinking takes me towards a more larval type infection. There are larvae for example which make ants climb up blades of grass or make caterpillars turn red in nature.
Perhaps eggs could travel using the bite or something?
Not sure, no biologist :D
Hey, this is a topic which is of interest to me too.
Essentially, I'd like to inquire as to the nature of the biological effects of it all... My question to you as author of the timeline, and to anyone who actually is a biologist or medical doctor is the following;
Is the disease in this...
Indeed, it's not even as different as say Mandarin or Japanese is, the Russian alphabet, based on the Greek, uses letters like Latin, so it would be easier to adapt another alphabet. In China, they have adopted the latin alphabet in the form of pinying, in order to show the phonetics of words...
Would it be possible to say have Polish prevalent in the west (Ukraine, Belarus, Baltic areas), then a Russian/Ruthenian majority in the territories of most of OTL Russia west of the Urals, and then Polish Siberia?
And to those who are saying that it's too late, what would an earlier POD entail?
Ok, so my question is simple. Today, Russia is a nation which due to a number of factors not excluding it's geographic location, is in a position of holding a huge abundance of natural wealth. Whilst at the same time there are regions of Russia which are still suffering from the effects of...
Every event that happens is very improbable, it all depends on specific POD, for example if I were to change the location of a grain of sand on the surface of the earth billions of years ago, there's virtually no probability of humans even evolving...
I believe there is a water route somewhere across all of the North American Continent? It's just barely large enough for canoes... (???)
Either way, without some sort of mega-project building on what I believe is already there, this looks unlikely to happen before 1900 without major ASB...
I think it's pretty unlikely any Meso-American culture reaches Europe, and certainly not for the reason of a 'space race' type analogy. It's debatable that the Inca had virtually any contact with civilizations outside of the South American continent (though recent genetic evidence suggests they...
