Hmm. Judging by my ancestry, I'd probably have been raise either Nordic Pagan or Celtic Pagan, if the Roman religion didn't remain in power. Well, really, I'd probably not exist, due to nearly 2000 years of butterflies, but you know what I mean.

For one thing, the Air Force is likely to be touchy about aircraft flying over Washington for a while, particularly if the US gets a new President as a result.

Well, if it did work, it would have a lot more effects than just King Charles III and Queen Diana. Whomever made the attempt would get a very, very serious backlash from, like, all of Britain, and a very large part of Ireland, plus most of the Commonwealth. If it was someone affiliated with...

OOC: 'Holocaustum' was used by Richard I to refer to the killing of a large group of Jews, IIRC, so its not unreasonable for it to be used in this TL. IC: Huh. I wonder if Madagascar would still become New Israel, here.

The Women's Social and Political Union?

Lets say that instead of the King being killed, Tyler captures him, and acts in his name. He seeks to abolish the nobility and level society, but how would he accomplish this? How would the Realm be administered?

... and again, Cathrine dodges being killed by a King Henry. I have a bad feeling about this.

Specifically, the occupation of Japan would have been America's Northern Ireland, only with extremely few Unionists. Most of the people who might have been put in charge of Japan, IIRC, wanted to convert Japan to a democratic republic, with the Imperial family at best reduced to private...

Its good. Oddly enough, I keep hearing a lot of this in James Burke's voice - especially the snarky bits. Is that intentional, or just an artifact of my having been watching Connections and The Day the Universe Changed the past couple weeks?

Huh. What would the flag of an anarcho-syndicalist Mercia look like?

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Ah, I thought there'd already been a William IV. No William V of the UK, though, so that name's clear, at least. I find myself wondering what happens to NORAID in this TL. The Troubles being that much worse, people are going to have less patience with it, and Thatcher or her successor may be...

The Sun? 1970s Britain did have fairly nasty tabloids, didn't it?

They'd still need a reason to attack both sides.

How will gliders dropping incendiaries affect castle design? Building under the hill, perhaps? Also, RGB, where does your .sig quote come from (other than, 'a post by Thande')?

In 1958, the USAF had a plan called Man-In-Space-Soonest, which was cancelled when NASA came on the scene. What if it hadn't been? Here's what the Encyclopedia Astronautica has to say about the plan: So, what if NASA hadn't been formed, perhaps due to the USAF having a stronger lobby, the...

She'd almost certainly be packed off to Canada, but its possible she might be crowned Queen of Canada during the war, and Queen of the UK later on. EDIT: Depending on how upset the British are, she might be crowned Queen of Hanover, as well.

Well, if he were promoted to General several months to a year before that, and if his command were heavily reinforced so that the numbers deserved a Field Marshal in command, it would make sense. The larger size of his forces would have an impact, but where are those forces coming from?

Huh, so its a problem here, too. The software on forums like this does not like to have a closed parentheses ')' at the end of a URL, for some reason. To get it to work, you need to ad a space between the paren and the end bracket, like this: ...(United States) ]. If you don't, it moves the...

If an East India Company officer of sufficiently noble birth married an Indian Princess a couple generations earlier, their child married another white of high birth, and the son of that union became a prince of an important state, and was raised Anglican and remained so, I could see it.
