just something im exploring before i continue with *British history for Atlas. what does everyone think would be the consequences on history if the English Civil Wars took place, or were otherwise different--for example, if Oliver Cromwell did not exist? any and all possibilities and...

aside from any potential butterflies concerning events in Ford's Theater, what does everyone think about Lincoln avoiding assassination if the ACW had ended earlier (lets say in 1863)?

hey, all. ive decided to make some concerted efforts into my 'Anglo-American Rivalry' idea, but i need some input as to what everyone thinks would be the best way for the US and UK to hate and continue hating each other. the POD has to be sometime after September 4 1783, and preferably before 1860

hey, all. some of you may remember that i was bouncing around an idea for a TL (more realistic than Atlas) in which the US and UK never get on good terms again, so the US ends up becoming allied to Britain's traditional enemies (such as France). anyway, one aspect of the timeline that will be...

hey, all. another possibility im exploring. basically, i want to get some extra opinions about what everyone thinks about these two scenarios: the Wars of the Roses begin earlier, perhaps triggered by an earlier mental breakdown of Henry VI (let's say in the late 1430s or 1440s rather than in...

hey, all. i was looking into Edward, son of Edward III of England, better known as the Black Prince, as research for my ASB ATL. for those unfamiliar with the man, he was a major English commander during the Hundred Years' War and won the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. just twenty years afterwards...

hey, all. im trying to get back into writing up *british history from my ASB ATL. basically, what im wondering right now is if everyone thinks that *england would still come to conquer parts of europe like the normans did had william been defeated at hastings. after i figure all this out, i hope...

hey, all. ive recently gotten Empire Earth on the brain and have been thinking about working out a collective timeline focusing on the 20th and 21st century campaigns from the first two games of that series and their expansions anyway, here's what i'm asking for thoughts and second opinions on...

hey, all. i want to get back to writing up a historical summary for Britannia (OTL Britain; yes, its inspired by Code Geass) from my ASB ATL but i cannot for the life of me focus on it; i even had trouble focusing on just this even shorter summary! i thought maybe bringing it up for discussion...

there are plenty of timelines that have been written which include a POD/butterfly effect which makes it so that the USSR doesnt exist. as we all know, the presence of the USSR and communism ITTL had a huge effect on popular culture, such as with Nineteen-Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. my...

hey, all. some of you may be familiar with my English victory at Hastings thread, where part of the consensus ended up being that the alliance and eventual union between England, Ireland, and Scotland would be more mutually agreeable and less controversial had the Normans not conquered the isles...

hey, all. some of you may be aware of my "harold wins at hastings" thread. in vague relation to that, i want to look into what some alternative noble titles could arise from britain having more anglo-saxon influences on its language. the language itself isnt as important right now, as i plan to...

hey, all. i thought it would be a useful resource for ATL writers if there was a discussion thread for what some stereotypes of different peoples could be in different settings, depending on the scenario. as an example, "what would be the german stereotype if there were no nazis?" in answer to...

some of you may know the story of Thor's Oak, a sacred tree that was protected by the Chatti (ancestors of the Hessians). in 723, Saint Boniface came to the area to convert the local pagans to Christianity, and ordered the tree to be chopped down. when he wasnt struck by lightning, the Germanics...

im exploring a possibility for my ATL in which William is defeated at the Battle of Hastings (but isnt necessarily killed) so Harold Godwinson remains the King of England. basically, what effects does everyone think this would have on how British history and England's relationship with France...

hey, all. as part of my ATL, i decided to do a reverse of the 2000 election due to butterflies in which Gore is elected instead of Bush, but there's controversy over his election which results in him being just a one-term president. another effect of this ATL is that there's no 9/11, and...

hey, all. in addition to my main ASB ATL, this idea popped into my head last week and ive done minimal playing-around with it since then. i just thought that the best way to develop it further would be to open it up to discussion basically, the idea is that the US and the UK never get on good...

hey, all. im playing around with the idea of Jesse Jackson, instead of Dukakis, being given the Democratic nomination in 1988 and being elected president in that year. im curious as to the plausibility of this: the civil rights movement is still in recent memory, so im not sure if the US would...

this is kinda important to me since i need to figure this out in order for me to keep going with my ATL. im certain that theres been more than one thread on this very subject before, but im lazy so im just gonna post a new one :D anyway, what are the minimum differences that can be made within...

hey, all. for my ATL, i decided to switch around the positions on the political spectrum of the two major political parties in the US. the POD for this is that the Depression ruins the image of the Republican Party and, as a result, the Democrats dominate US politics until the end of World...
