    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    I mean since the Kaiserreich is going to be in charge of the Liberal/Bourgeois faction of the ITTL Allies from what I understand they may just put a new King on the throne of England like OTL George VI or such to go along with the general half-assed De-Falangalization they do in England. Since...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    You know something I'm curious about...Since Britain ends up as the main bad of ITTL WWII and has the (quarter-assed in England) 'De-Falagalization' I wonder if ITTL Britain also has a bit of a 'Sonderweg' equivalent that postulates that they had been inherently corrupted by their unique...

    The Fire Never Dies Pop Culture Collaborative Thread

    Yeah his finances were in decline by this point but I don't think he really ran ouyt of the inherited wealth of his family until the late 20's or early 30's? And again this was during the time before he was in New York or was married for a time to his Jewish wife. So he has had at this point...

    The Fire Never Dies Pop Culture Collaborative Thread

    I mean Lovecraft was extremely racist at this point of time so would he really be that negatively effected by the crimes of the Whites during the ITTL Revolution? He was still coasting off of the inherited wealth of his New England Upper class background as well during this time I think as well...

    Restoration of the Great Ming: A Tianqi Timeline

    If Zhou sucessfully gets his tax policy adopted, even in a modified form, I imagine that should be very helpful for the Ming Dynasty's finances since from what I understand China had a long history of low taxation in order to help keep public dissent from being too bad so this in general helps...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    That actually makes me wonder what differences we expect in the perspectives of the American 'Lost Generation' ITTL compared to both OTL's Lost Generation and the ITTL Lost Generation of Europe. Since they, like the European and OTL American Lost Generation, would have fought in a major war but...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    You know something I'm curious about...Will we get an ITTL Equivalent to 'All is Quiet on the Western Front' with how ITTL Germany won WWI and if it is written what major differences will it have I wonder, if any, with the divergences of the timeline. Though the sequel is almost certainly...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    So I'm curious...Since Washington DC has lost it's importance as the national capital, with New York replacing it, and it being utterly demolished from the War what is it's long term fate? I imagine even if it's rebiuilt the fact it's no longer an important city politically and the location not...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    So I'm curious after reading the latest update...How is Hirschfeld and the Institut fur Sexualwissenschft doing in Imperial Germany with how it was generally more conservative and less accepting than Weimar Germany? Since Hirschfeld was a true pioneer in LGTQ+ rights, as well as scientific...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    Dang, I figured the Arab Empire would last at least a century instead of imploding in the space of a handful of generations. It's honestly giving Alexander's empire a run for it's money in time spent before imploding.

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    I have doubts the Palmyrians will be able to retake their imperial territories in Syria and Egypt though from what it sounds like with those two regions being Christian majority and likely hostile to being once again under the rule of non-Christian Palmyrian Empire, especially with the...

    The New Order: A Successful Selim III

    Looks like the Ottoman Empire is going to become decidedly more involved in the rest of the Napoleonic Wars from this point on...And a major new ulcer for Napoleon that he has little ability to solve with how poorly the invasion into Bosnia went. Also probably the first signal of Alexander's...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    From what I can tell @Aluma it's more 'Christianity but with a different interpretation of Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God as well as keeping to Mosaic law" than "judaism with a different Torah" as it still sees Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Son of God (if anti-Trinitarian and adoptionist...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    I have to say @danteheadman that implications of that butterfly would be, as you stated, quite profound for the relations between Judaism and Christianity ITTL. The fact that ITTL Christianity is already making itself directly oppositional against the Roman Empire due to having never required...

    A Light Shines East: The World of a Christian Persia

    You know something I realized...Since ITTL the Roman Empire never Christianized that may mean that the Greek tragedy tradition likely will keep on going as from what I understand christianization was a major blow to Greek theater as their was a lost of interest in the philosophical and...
