  1. Into the Cincoverse - The Cinco de Mayo EU Thread and Wikibox Repository

    Let’s not forget Bishop spent much of her legal career using unethical tactics to prevent asbestos victims from receiving compensation from James Hardie…

  2. Into the Cincoverse - The Cinco de Mayo EU Thread and Wikibox Repository

    We don’t know much about Australia in TTL’s present - but from the comparisons in this piece sounds like, much like Canada and Texas, it’s more of an upper-middle income economy with some political turbulence than OTL’s high-income success story.

  3. Geronimo : What if Osama Bin Laden was killed prior to 9/11?

    This is a tour de force of writing. Great work capturing the late imperial overstretch of the United States - but with the distinct character of centre-left internationalism rather than the War on Terror and neoconservativism. Instead of providing a note-for-note copy of the War in Iraq or...

  4. The Spirit of Salamis- A Short Allied Victory in Crete TL

    Thank you for the round up! It's nice to have some sort of ending to this TL.

  5. Into the Cincoverse - The Cinco de Mayo EU Thread and Wikibox Repository

    Also worth noting that cricket was big in Argentina - and had sizeable followings in a few other countries (including the US in Philadelphia!) - but countries outside the British Empire were essentially locked out from international competition due to the formation of the Imperial Cricket...

  6. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Given these conditions, and what we know from the EU thread, the CSA sounds like it'll be even more of an economic basketcase than OTL Mexico. I imagine the US border states will be flooded with Confederate migration - it'll be interesting to see how they deal with illegal immigrants who share a...

  7. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Good analysis. It strikes me that the TL is set to be even better for (most of) Latin America through the remainder of the 20th century - the conditions have been very much been set in place for US/European style economic development, with a prosperous 20th century, but the wheels need some time...

  8. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Given the lack of a White Argentina policy (which is more or less constitutionally forbidden under Article 25) unlike Australia, they may end up attracting more Asian migrants than OTL. The distance is certainly further - but that didn't stop substantially Japanese immigration to Brazil. Most...

  9. Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Having just returned from visiting Buenos Aires, already an incredible city, a stable and affluent Argentina will surely mean that ATL BA is one of the world's great cities. It holds 15 million people in OTL. Argentina's economy seems like it's on a path more like that of Australia than OTL...

  10. The American System: A Henry Clay TL

    Cameronocomics sounds a lot like Peronism...

  11. The Great American-Indian War: A Pontiac's Rebellion Timeline

    This is an incredible TL and I'm watching with deep interest.

  12. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today
    Threadmarks: Part 15: Hughesvilles and the Russian Flu

    Hughesvilles and the Russian Flu “Underwood had served his backers competently but without distinction; he was easily renominated, but his closeness to moneyed interests both North and South meant that there was no risk of a reunification with the Populists at the 1916 Democratic National...

  13. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today

    The title is a sly reference to a probably-apocryphal quote by Charles de Gaulle about Brazil: "Brazil is the country of the future and always will be." But I'm pretty sure @TastySpam drew on the same quote for his excellent Dixieland TL.

  14. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today
    Threadmarks: Part 14: Un Homme, Un Plan, Un Canal

    Un Homme, Un Plan, Un Canal "The first attempt at building a canal through the Isthmus in the 1880s under the influence of the French entrepreneur Ferdinand de Lesseps had been an unmitigated disaster. Nearly 22,000 workers had died in the effort - most from diseases such as yellow fever. The...

  15. To the Victor, Go the Spoils (Redux): A Plausible Central Powers Victory

    Congratulations on the excellent TL so far - I'll be watching with interest!

  16. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today
    Threadmarks: Part 13: A Slowly Smouldering Powderkeg

    A Slowly Smouldering Powderkeg: The State of the Balkans and the Near East in 1915 GREECE: Still reeling from the shattering civil war of 1908-1910 between republican and conservative forces. While King Constantine I now reigns in Athens and on the mainland, the republicans have established...

  17. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today

    I'll admit to not being a huge naval warfare nerd either - and it's not the focus of this TL. It does strike me that the Anglo-German naval arms race was ultimately pretty pointless for both sides - even with Germany's increased level of ship production, they were never going to match the Royal...

  18. America: The Country of Tomorrow, Never Today

    It's funny how people can be. The counter-example is Woodrow Wilson - a dedicated progressive reformer and liberal internationalist - who was deeply racist and in OTL did more to set back the cause of racial equality in America than any other politician since the Civil War. The whole TL was...

    Threadmarks: Part 12: Boerdom is Unavoidable in Politics

    Boerdom is Unavoidable in Politics “...having won the election after public outcry over the deteriorating situation in southern Africa, Campbell-Bannerman immediately set about ending the ongoing Boer War. Despite claims by Kitchener that the war was nearly won, the new Liberal government was...

    Threadmarks: Part 11: Underwood and the Bourbon Restoration

    Underwood and the Bourbon Restoration “...under Olney’s presidency, the once wide-open gates of American immigration were swiftly welded shut. Asian immigration, already kneecapped by the Chinese Exclusion Act 1882, was further shuttered by the Oriental Exclusion Act of 1905 and the aggressive...
