  1. A French Churchill

    @ Nanwe ¿No sería bueno que se comenzaron a emplear en los Ministerios unas gentes que por lo menos supiesen ya leer y escribir? Intrigued: where's your quote from, please?
  2. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    Hitler and Chaplin were born within four days of each other in April 1889.
  3. Would the world actually be worse off with Hitler dead?

    Stephen Fry wrote a book on this subject, called Skriva Historia in Swedish* (Making History in English, IIRC): Hitler didn't happen, so, as specified by the Divine Pratchett, a worse dictator came along instead. It didn't end well, and everybody died, horribly. * Borrowed from an IKÉA...
  4. AHC: Punish Germany as harshly as possible after WW2

    Award Hannover to the British crown? The fact that the kings of England were also the Electors of Han(n)over caused all sorts of amusement in the 18th century. Or, buggerit, just re-animate the Holy Roman Empire.
  5. An ghlóir na Éireann - An Alternate Ireland

    Shouldn't that be An ghlóir na hÉireann? Euphony...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Me too! My favourite thread, as well. [Signed] A Lurker
  7. AHC: German Languages have Seperate Alphabet

    Oy gevalt, 'n pogrom!
  8. AHC: German Languages have Seperate Alphabet

  9. What's Your Favourite Kind Of Rome?

    Just so long as they have Bersaglieri in the parades...
  10. WI Albino Luciani wasn't voted Pope

    In English and French, yes: but it's Johannes Paulus in Latin, Giovanni Paulo in Italian...
  11. Historical Ironies...

    Absent the atomic bomb, one of many options mooted by the Allies to wear down the Japanese (in view of the enormous projected cost in lives of invading the Japanese Home Islands) was to mass-produce the German V1 'doodlebug' and launch them in vast numbers from Okinawa.
  12. Photos from Alternate Worlds

    Lovely piccie! Doubt that Warrior would want to let Monitor in that close IRL, and given that she could make more than twice a monitor's speed, she could insist on it: but who cares, it's nice!
  13. WI: William the Conqueror dies at Hastings rather than Harold?

    For a start, look at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Jerusalem
  14. What happens when the Normans lose at Hastings?

    First thing, Harold II Godwínson goes home to the lovely Ealdgȳð Swann hnesce [aka Edith Swan-neck] and they rejoice exceedingly; maybe he even takes his boots off first. Otherwise, depends on where the PoD is: for example, no invasion by Tostig Godwínson means no battle of Stamford Bridge...
