  1. TL-191 Map Thread

    Why not? The US has never been big on changing the names of the places it takes over. Look at Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California, Alaska, Hawaii, etc. The US still has a State named after Mexico, which has been its enemy for longer than Britain. Also, in the books they never seemed to...
  2. TL-191 Map Thread

    The US has a State named New Mexico and a region that is referred to as New England. The US tends to keep the names of places it conquers.
  3. 20th and 21st Century Presidents Who Could've Pulled A Cleveland

    The obvious answer is Theodore Roosevelt. The only other one with a (faint) chance is Ford in 1980. Lets say Ford loses the primary to Reagan, who then gets beaten badly by Carter in the general. Then all of the problems Carter had in his term still happen. With Reagan discredited, the...
  4. Who Should Have Won the 1968 Election?

    I will be the first to say Nelson Rockefeller. :)
  5. Map Thread X

    At first, I read that as Prussia being Yellow and Germany being blue.
  6. Challenge: 20th Century U.S. Secession crisis

    Texas v. White says that Unilateral Secession is illegal. It doesn't mean that a State or region can't secede, it just doesn't have the right to unilaterally declare it.
  7. TL-191: After the End

    Excellent update. Can't wait until December.
  8. TL-191 United States Presidential Election 1912

    Weren't the Socialists depicted as being less Pro-War than the Republicans (or at least, all of the Parties were Pro-War)? To quote the American Front: "If they'd [Socialists in Congress] voted to oppose the war budget, that would have been the end of the Socialist Party in the United States...
  9. Official TL-191 Discussion Thread

    I think HT realized he would lose a lot of pages if he could no longer talk about it. :rolleyes: Onto a more story-friendly explanation, you are pretty much right. Another one is that later in the War the US had to have so many CS rifles being used by its Troops, that its Troops had enough...
  10. Timeline-191: Changes?

    The first had many US sympathizers and the US had conquered the majority of (plus the US had already readmitted Kentucky to the Union IIRC), Sequoyah wasn't worth that much (besides the oil there), West Texas was hardly populated and was somewhat inconsequential, and the piece taken off Virginia...
  11. Timeline-191: Changes?

    The majority of those were occupied by the time of the armistice if I remember correctly. While very few people lived in Western Texas and even fewer in Sonora. Although, if some weren't, don't hesitate in correcting me. I was just saying that, in the contect of TL-191's 1917, the US doesn't...
  12. Timeline-191: Changes?

    And the Allies took more territory from Germany than they had 11-11-1918.
  13. Timeline-191: Changes?

    You could make the case that since North America is so culturally and linguistically similar (along with being so dang big), that it is easier to annex and integrate large regions of North America, than it is in Europe. Still, the Allies did chop off large portions of Germany in both World Wars...
  14. Map Thread IX

    Now that is a German Wank.
  15. Victoria II

    Open your Folder for Victoria 2, then open the folder labelled "common", then open the file called "crime". Scroll down until you see the bit of code shown below (should be the second from the bottom) and change "active = yes" to "active = no". spoil_system = { active = yes...
