I look forward to seeing how this timeline checks out - and just in case you're interested the original 'cold-hearted swot' quote comes from the historian Michael Wood. :)

UNFLINCHING AND RESOLUTE ACTION What if the People's Budget resulted in abdication and the proclamation of a republic? "You must handle [the House of Lords] a little more firmly, and the time has come for unflinching and resolute action. For my part, I would not remain a member of a Liberal...

I find with a 769 start you can declare war for pretty much all of Greece on Day 1, and it can be advantageous for you to do so as you are going to be fighting all the pagans (including Bulgarians) anyway. Although I was lucky in capturing Telerig in May (he ceded Philippopolis for his freedom)...

(NOTE: Due to recent events, please refrain from discussing the modern situation in Israel and Palestine. This question predates current politics). The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was an attempt to divide Mandatory Palestine upon the departure of the British (the governing power...

If I might be so bold, could we retcon this to be a de-facto coalition of Labour and Liberal interests as a 'national government' rather than a full-blown merger of the two? I would argue that Labour and the Liberals are going to be pretty-significantly against any proposals to unify - a...

I think the 20s and 30s are possibly the most interesting time in modern British politics - just because so much was up for grabs, and in some cases it could have gone in any direction. There could have been a Liberal reunion (barring the Asquith-Lloyd George split), a Conservative division...

This is... implausible. I cannot see how Churchill is going to maintain his government when he has apparently committed Britain to revoking the Fourth Reform Act and the entirety of Parliament is against him, and then wins a victory after a bloodier Abdication Crisis. (Also, it's Oswald Mosley...

KAISERREICH! Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland The year is 1917 - Paris falls. And with it, the Kaiser has achieved victory in Europe. Britain does not lose much, other than its prestige of course, and its economic might, in fact territorially, it could...

Two posters between contributions - not that it matters now (your colleague has taken Robens to heart).
