La Guerra De Declaraciones ( English Translation" "The War Of Declarations") Duration: 1855-1861 A bloody six year conflict that broke out in the aftermath of the Great Mexican Rebellion of 1854 as the rebel warlords and the remnant central government of Mexico turned on each other in the...

Perhaps Arnold and his men will attempt to incite a slave rebellion in the south to hurt the british? After all this group is made up of staunch republican diehards who might support a broad interpretation of the "All men are created equal..." clause in the decleration of independence. And even...

Perhaps a US that fails to gain the Louisiana purchase and has its expansion cut off at the Mississippi turns inward and becomes more mercantile, subsequently going overseas and then into Africa seeking markets for it's products and in order to obtain raw resources.(Like most of the OTL European...

Yes, I know that he's IR's president but I was just speculating on some ways that he'd assert his authority as a military, rather than a political leader. Anyways glad to know we'll be looking at Ireland soon!

Perhaps a brief power struggle between Beria and Molotov occurs and is brought to an end by the intervention of the Red Army under the leadership of a prominent general like Zhukov? Because to be frank the RA would probably be much more interested in fighting the germans than helping to prolong...

Some of the anti-terrorism measures the UK is reinstating such as "shoot to kill" and especially internment without trial would sound a little too familiar to many people in Ulster methinks. Could that result in disturbances similiar to the ones in Birmingham? I mean you can tell people these...

Could we see something on Ireland? (more specifically its preparations for war with the UOB). Perhaps the Big Fella could make a appearance during a planning session for IRA post-invasion irregular resistance:D

On the topic of soccer's ability to be played almost anywhere with anything at hand, the same is more or less true of american football. I mean, you can get a street football game going with nothing more than a open dirt or grass space, a ball, and three t-shirts or trees/posts to mark the...

"Loyalist dominated government? This is the era of Direct Rule from Westminster remember. sorry!:)

Great timeline! But has the situation in Ulster been mentioned? Because I imagine that the IRA would take advantage of circumstances such as these to attempt (sucessfully or unsucessfully) a takeover of as much of the 6 counties(or perhaps even some border areas of the republic) as they could...

Your challenge, with a post 1840 point of divergence, is to create a scenario that allows Mexico to "win" the Mexican-American war. *Note- This Mexican "victory" does not require the retention of all of Mexico's pre-war territories or the reconquest of Texas, but must result in significant...

New Trailer Start: (Generic film studio logo appears and fades) (Writing in the bottom of the screen appears) Outside of Monterey, Mexico: 1846 (A group of American soldiers, gathered around a sergeant, comes into focus) "Come on you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?"...

Effects of the POD Well firstly, Scott didn't land in Veracruz until March 1847, a few months after the fall of Monterey. So in my opinion, if Monterey had repulsed its attackers or held out longer at least some, if not most, of Scott's forces might have been diverted there. This would most...

Well, the two forts were basically the keys to the city's backdoor due to their strategic position and possesion of artillery. However, I'd be glad to broaden the question posed and just ask what the possible consequences of a mexican defensive victory at Monterey would be.

No takers?
