  1. PODs to make the American Civil War into a global war?

    Depends on what you define as global. Having stuff like the Trent affair or the other various small incidents that happened between the UK and US during the ACW could expand it, and France would likely be willing to join against the USA as long as the UK does they have interests in setting up a...
  2. Hostile Anglo-American relations

    To achieve this you need the US to be continously beligerant enough that the UK is willing to ignore the trade benefits Until the American Civil war era most thoughts of the US was that it was more effort then it was worth to conquer & rule the territories so they were happy with trade...
  3. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    With how wide spread the natives are it's gonna feel like trying to stamp out a dozen small fires before they spread for Mexico and depending on how effective this is it could make people more or less supportive of the government. Though it depends on why the natives are rebelling and are they...
  4. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    Well Gladstone managed to screw this up. Put humanitarian treatment in the Rheinland ahead of blocking a unapposable Russo-Prussian domaniance of Europe, publically showed his unwillingness to fight in front of the nation he was meant to deter and did the politcal equivalent of screaming insults...
  5. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Well looks like Russia is in its way to massive humiliation as the Ottomans are inflicting defeat after defeat on multiple fronts on land against the numerically superior Russians with a large section of territory in open revolt. Still this might kick Russia into reform that will make them into...
  6. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I'd imagine is they get a suitable pair from their children or their kids kids via either local nobility or other prominent locals then marriage to unify the two Bonaparte lines would be on the cards but since they do have a better understanding of the dangers inbreeding this generation likely...
  7. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Well it's a crown colony by definition. It has a fair bit of autonomy but generally it will be considered British territory, the same as OTL Canada. So if its invaded the UK will have to respond, though the British government could made various border/diplo deals with the US that Mishigama...
  8. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    One little thing I noticed is that Canada is still called a Dominion. Is there a reason Canada remains a Dominion instead of a Kingdom? With a weaker US, a much shorter border and more secure British North America wouldn't Canada end up being a Kingdom instead of using the term Dominion as the...
  9. WI: China threatens the UK over Hong Kong?

    Well considering that it was numerous countries who were involved as well its hard to imagine how this will go down in a way that's positive for China. The countries involved were CANZUK, the US, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway. In this matter its not viable for the UK to hand over...
  10. The Sun, The Stars and The Sickle: Alt-WWII and a Tripolar Postwar World

    With the various different groups without a unifying leader we may see a more balkanized Indonesia, or at least one much more decentralised rather then facing the Javanisation of OTL.
  11. Why the Chinese play cricket (The Pax Imperialis)

    While the massive fortifications across the looong border of the USA and Canada is unfeasible I am curious to see just how this war will effect Canada and its culture. Depending on how the US occupation goes and how they treat the population you could see a radical shift that could possibly...
  12. The Celts kick out the Romans

    One thing to think about when it comes to the Druids is that after Boudiccas rebellion the main hierarchy of the Druids was pretty much wiped out, meaning that the remaining Druids will be that weren't on the Isle of Mona/Anglesey are likely going to be more focused on keeping hold of whatever...
  13. The Celts kick out the Romans

    The Romans would return but what form it would end up being is up for debate. They could return as punitive expeditions for prestige reasons but ultimately decide that like Germania it's easier and overall cheaper to just have it being a collection of friendly trading nations as they are going...
  14. Can Napoleon screw things enought for the British Empire reannex Normandy?

    Even with a situation of French failure after even further brutal repression of Europe by this time it would go against British policy. After the loss of Calais, or even before that you could argue the UK lost all real interest of owning land on the continent itself beyond small strategic...
  15. The Auld Union - A United Kingdom of France and Scotland

    An interesting proposal. The biggest sticker would be England, unless its navally out matched to a significant degree (meaning neutered) then they are going to be hostile to the point of invading Scotland if they try and go through with the union as to them it basically looks like France is not...
