Hey everyone! I'm excited to make my first post here, feel free to provide any feedback or suggestions. What could have happened if Tunisia had officially established diplomatic ties with Israel back in 1965? On May 3, 1965, Tunisian President Bourguiba gave a speech in Jericho, saying, "As...

Bourguiba would have preferred to normalize relations with the State of Israel and challenge Abdel Nasser, as he indicated in a speech he delivered in Jericho, on March 3, 1965, that "the all-or-nothing policy only led to the defeat of Palestine." In addition, he cut ties with the League of...

Could the allies have moved on Sicily and Southern Italy immediately following the Western Desert Campaign and just ignored a now fully cut off Rommel? Edit: If yes, would there have been any benefit to doing so?

Part of the reason Italy joined the triple alliance, was because France took Tunisia despite Italy's desire to have her. Suppose France is more accommodating. Is this enough to prevent WWI? Presumably, without Italy as an ally, Germany will have a more timid policy or will become an ally with...

Ive always had a soft spot for the Normans, and norman Sicily in particular. One of the more interesting chapters in Sicilys history is the twenty odd year dominion over Tunis and Libya, the so called Norman Kingdom of Africa. In OTL these dominions were destroyed by the Almohads, who also...

If we assume the common thesis of French demographic decline being caused by changes to inheritance laws with the Revolution, then metroplitan France could have had a population twice the size by the 1950s. In our timeline, there were about 1.5 million Pied Noir in North Africa at the point of...

Roland Garros was a fairly important pioneering figure among early French aviators and WWI French fighter pilots. Bet you've heard of him. Like many aviation pioneers, there are a few PODs surrounding him that have intrigued me for a long time. Let's look at his OTL track record first: He was...
