I which language are we rendering the latter day form of the Kingdom of Saxons? Perhaps in the latin-based languages it becomes something like Saxonia?

The lazy answer is the status quo is maintained until something else happened. With that sort of really broad POD, you can pretty much write whatever scenario you want.

How odd, I was thinking about running an AH football competition myself. Here is the spreadsheet Martin23230 developed for the 2012 European Cup. Knock yourself out.

Thanks for uploading this! EDIT: One question, is where are pages 420-1, 426-7?

Hahaha Oh my God. You reminded me of my crazy grandfather, who believes he's found the key to the end times through his study of the Books of Daniel and Revelations, which involve a world war three involving Scythians (Russia), Hittites, and some others. Can't remember the details but yeah....

You'll have better luck reposting this in After 1900. ;)

Yeah, when I read that, I was thinking a definition of "religion" might be useful.

Any gains he makes overall will be counterbalanced by conservatives staying out home. Huntsman definitely will not run up the vote in the south and plains states, but the moderate gains could swing some crucial states. I could see Florida and (maybe) Ohio and/or Virginia going; he needs to win...

To help figure out the time line, I did a little bit of searching and I don't believe that the Kaiser had Spanish Flu when he was fleeing to the Netherlands in November. Nor do I think he had it in the last days of the war, but let's say conservative and assume he had it until October 31st...

As has been pointed out, what really torpedoed the long-term stability of the empire was Marius' reforms to the army, allowing unlanded men to join the army and effectively making armies loyal only to their generals. Unless you nip this problem in the bud, Rome will always be threatened by civil...

I don't claim to be a specialist on the Greek colonies, but I do know off the top of my head that Massalia was a Greek colony centered on what is now the city of Marseille but which exercised economic control over much of the hinterland. It was an important member of the pre-Roman expansion...

Interesting timeline here. A question though; I know wikipedia says otherwise, but unless there has been a revision in the historical interpretation since Stuart Munro-Hay published in 1991, Abreha was not a Viceroy of Aksum, but rather a usurper who overthrew Sumyafa Ashwa, the Ethiopian...

Actually, TR took most of his votes from Taft, so expect Taft to do better at Wilson's expense. The assassination would have happened in October of 1912, too late to change the ballot legally. Whether some states would remove his name from the ballot is a grey area but I imagine in some states...

Yes, this right here is the most obnoxious things. People who like to write those should all go to to The Atlas.

One of the big reason's Stalin purged the officer corps in 1937 was he feared Marshall Tukhachevsky, a young and strong-willed General, was plotting to overthrow him. What if Tukhachevsky did overthrow him; perhaps he and enough loyal officers got wind of the impending tribunals and made the...

Nope. Sorry to be that guy, but the Huns showed up on Rome's doorstep when they did because they left the Central Asian steppe when they did. they didn't leave until facing some serious pressure from the Chinese, which happened after the time period you're looking at.

If you prevent the Constitution from being signed and a federal state from being created, Mexico will have the run of the North American continent.

I hadn't thought of this; very interesting!

Guess I'm not sure where the disagreement is. North Africa was already Roman in OTL around this time; my scenario makes Italy's reconquest more permanent.

I like the general idea, though Italy was actually a member of the Central powers until the war broke out. So for this to have the desire effect, Italy will have to leave the CP. I agree. The difference between the 1916 election in OTL was Hughes miffing California governor Hiram Johnson. In...
