well, they were right, kind of :P there was a similar thing with the miasma theory, the belief that disease (malaria in particular) was caused by "bad air" and you could ward against that simply by shutting the windows and burning incense and stuff, which coincidentally is exactly the kind of...

that's...quite a reasonable point that i think alot of us probably never considered

you say that like the Nazis wouldn't take the Holocaust to its logical conclusion....

speaking as a white guy who's mostly Germanic but identifies as Italian and is also partly Slavic, that's almost certainly because the definition of "white" is so loose and has changed so much across history as to basically be meaningless--remember, little more than a century ago the Help Wanted...

i mean, i was only half-convinced that it was legit anyway, but Axis South America just looks so lonely :P XD

i'm glad i added the qualifier of "apparent" then XD

there was also this apparent plan for South America i know there's a Worlda version of this floating around somewhere but i don't have it on-hand

the German-settled parts, probably--iirc they were strongly opposed to secession and even suffered massacres at the hands of the Confederates

there are plenty of other interesting possibilities based on other advancements instead, though. a few that i'm incorporating into my ASB ATL are the rediscovery of Greek fire, which results in flamethrowers seeing using during numerous wars from the 18th century onwards, (particularly in...

that's unfortunately true for alot of things. while the current generation is stereotyped as the "I want it now!" generation with regards to media (streaming services and smartphones with mobile games and such) the way i see it it's really the previous generation--the one that my parents belong...

my previous post was actually (not in so many words) my real reaction to the map XD i saw the American tropics shortly after but it's got nothin' on the Asia-Pacific :P

"Well, Africa's a little smushed but other than that it doesn't look too WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL DID THEY DO TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC?!"

too smoothly-drawn and too many gradients for 1949 :P

now that i'd believe--like i said before, Happy Dan doesn't have a Wiki page, either, but is cited as the basis for Lady and the Tramp, so it could easily be that there was a picture book out there somewhere that Aristocats was based on. it's not at all out-there: plenty of movies have been...

i may well have misremembered, but i can't recall ever seeing anything about an Aristocats book that it was based on

i'd imagine the Confederacy's national personification would be the ironically-named Lady Freedom, which would play well into the Freedom Party later; if nothing else, she'd work as a decent Southern parallel to Lady Liberty. there's probably some Classical deity who could be used as the basic...

i'd totally forgotten about this :P there's lots of alternate turns from OTL such as whole films that were scrapped, (it was once possible that a Snow Queen adaptation could've been the first feature-length animated film instead of Snow White, for example) but i can't recall most of them off the...

there's a custom Justice League action figure set by this guy Sillof on exactly that topic, called Gaslight League: http://sillof.com/gaslight-league he does all sorts of cool alternate-universe versions of certain franchises, one of my favorites being "West Wars", Star Wars as a Wild West story...

well the other one would basically be Fables XD XD i'd give a more serious answer, but i actually DON'T have all the time i could want at the moment (library computer, waiting for my work shift to start) but i could get back to y'all later on if any ideas occur to me. i can tell you right now...

isn't that basically League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, though? XD
