  1. Russia/Italy Dynamics

    This is kind of an off-the-wall question: Suppose Russia became fascist, not communist, after WWI. How do you suppose Mussolini would view the Russian gov't, and vice versa? Don't factor Hitler into it; for the purposes of this question, assume he doesn't exist. Would they be natural...
  2. US Presidential Election Site

  6. A Different 20th Century

    OK, this is a re-post of the TL I began to post on the previous board. It is a work in progress; I have it pretty well-fleshed out to 1945. I would appreciate comments and suggestions. Part One: The Pre-War Period 1908 History and Politics -January 25: (POD) Germany and Mexico sign...
  7. Facist Germany AND Russia - 1939

    This has probably been discussed before, but: What if there is no communist takeover in Russia, but due to the unstable situation, Russia is still forced to withdraw from WWI. The end of the War and the early 20s will still go very similar to OTL. In Russia, the monarchy is overthown for...

  13. AH Books Update

    This is kind of a continuation of the 'New AH' thread I started on the previous forum. It doesn't have to be new AH per se; post any title that you've come across that sounds interesting. Here's one: 'A Century of Progress' by Fred Saberhagen. Its 1984. A man whose grand-daughter is...
  14. H.N. Turtletaub

    This is either Harry Turtledove's real name, or a pen name. I just picked up 'Justinian', a semi-fictionalized account of Byzantium's Justinian II, and it is very, very good so far. Superior to just about all of his AH novels. I've also seen one called 'Across the Wine-Dark Sea'; not sure...
