No one has any opinions on this?

Can anyone point me to or cite some good estimates for what garrisons and ships and their numbers (for British and French) were in the West Indies during winter 1756 - 1757? (primarily the leeward islands) Also what is the likely hood of France ordering attacks and or raids against the British...

If there was a fanfiction/crossover sub forum it would help alleviate a lot of that problem. It's been asked for repeatedly.

My initial understanding was that "within the scope of human actions" meant, that humans had the ability to take an action which affected the outcome (ie a human performing an action whose scope would effect the outcome). This is not true 100% all the time depending on what the disease is, and...

I like it fine, I have very definitely ASB TLs there. But if IMO my TL is not inherently ASB, I would like to be able to put it elsewhere so it is visible to a broader forum audience.

Except that they aren't, especially the common PODs of a principle actor dying or not dying of disease at a given point in time.

Anyone ever consider that a possible reason they are rarely seen is because the writer don't want them in ASB so they don't bother? I had an idea, of a sotry about a single new small (as in small enough for a max pop of 5 to 20k) fictional island with unique geography in the pacific and its...

A resident of Pompeii, in the throes of dying from being buried by a pyroclastic flow, moves his hand a few millimeters to the left resulting in a ATL, until being discovered later be archeologists. The ever so slight alterations of the movements of the archeologist later creating and preparing...

Thing is, the Native American migration took place prior to humans even starting animal husbandry (beyond perhaps dogs) they have zero reason (evolutionary pressure) to develop even the slightest tolerance for lactose past being weaned. That would firmly put them on the blegh side far far more...

Does turning milk into Yogurt break down lactose? because if it doesn't you haven't solved anything.

Why would you need the first migrations to fail? Wont you want people there to (conquer) and have as manpower? Unless you mean no humans at all and thus possibly no man-made brush fires systematically desertifying the interior (if that theory is being subscribed to)

Nearly 100% of Native Americans, especially this early in time, were Lactose intolerant. None of them are going to be drinking milk except only once, then never again. Instead talk about trying to use the cows (or oxen rather) for plowing. Even better substitute some of the cows for sheep, for...

Assume that after the seven years war, France pursued a Mediterranean strategy and successfully acquired all or parts of the Maghreb. (Algeria and Tunis) With this they pursued sugar and cotton plantations to make. Also assume the Haitian revolution was defeat in its infancy. but with a...

Lets say that in an alternate Seen Years war, Britiain ends up in possession of Hispaniola (yes both sides, Haiti and Santo Domingo) Would they merge them into one province and appoint one governor or keep them separate and appoint two? Do you think they manage to govern it successfully, or be...

Any large population areas that were American for at least a generation in the transferred lands, (who did not move away) may be acting rebellious. This is very dependent on population numbers and length of time though, and I don't know what those numbers are.

Sicily for a long time has always been a primary provider, where were other primary commercial sources located during the 18th century?, (ie primarily for gunpowder usage) What effect would losing access to some of these locations (Sicily and the Mediterranean) have on various nations, for...

Reread my edited post. How long ago was the territorial acquisition of Maine's expanded boundary, and how recent was its official transfer to the state of Maine? I think you would still need to be payments to the states and there would probably be a supreme court case occurring afterwards. I...

Well I know some, but others might know more. First when word gets out of the demands and filters back to the states in questions expect some degree of anger/protests and/or legal challenges. Note that this will probably happen in various circles even before word gets to the states in question...

That may be their desire but it's not what you've setup. Unfortunately we don't have a OTL example to draw from. The best parallel is how boundary disputes between two states were resolved, usually with Federal mediation and/or ruling by the Supreme Court. Inadequate though when one party is a...

I don't think the US govt would even think about giving up an inch of territory in a state. Territories are a different matter, but giving up territory of a sovereign state would set a very bad precedent for the Federal government, and the basis for the union. I would not even be surprised if a...
