In case there's any confusion, that map does not show borders, just the locations of cities. Furthermore, the kingdom at this point has little reach beyond those cities and their immediate surroundings. Cool stuff. It looks like, according to Wikipedia, there have been some successful...

The idea that the US was playing catch-up to the Soviets in the space race until Apollo is a myth. The USA got all of the best Nazi rocket scientists, the Soviets mostly got their assistants, and that Nazi experience with rocketry gave America a phenomenal edge. The reason why it looked like...

A Brief History of the Tumbuktu Kingdom A Brief History of the Tumbuktu Kingdom The Reign of King Qallic The reign of King Qallic was a golden age for the Cheauri; to go from chaotic, seemingly endless war to a state of peace within 5 years seemed like nothing less than a miracle. The...

The What If books disregard butterflies entirely. It works for them though, because the TLs in them tend to have very narrowly defined scopes, not having enough time for major butterflies to set in, even if they were accounted for. Also, the major function of butterflies, in my experience, is...

Some have theorized that unknown proto-civilizations arose during the ice age, but since they came about in coastal regions, when the sea levels rose all evidence of them was washed away. It neatly explains why the flood myth seems to be universal, but there's no hard evidence for it. What...

Just wanted to say that I'm going to be posting an update this morning, with more on the history of the Niger River Civilization. I'd just like to say thank you to everybody posting information, don't ever feel like you're spoiling the concept or that I'll be mad because something I've...

Qusay Hussein probably would have been Saddam 2: Saddam Harder, so OTL would have likely continued in the same trajectory. He would have been similar enough to still draw the same neocon ire once directed at his father, so the Iraq war probably still happens basically the same. Qusay would...

I'd sig that if I had any room left in my sig. :mad:

I can't find it any more, but a couple months back somebody posted a TL where Microsoft and Apple team up with Sega and Nintendo respectively to make consoles, and it was obvious that the guy didn't just not do any research, he clearly had no clue what the fuck he was talking about. To give...

With any POD before 1900? Well, you could delay the internal combustion engine by 50 years, which would have the effect of also delaying powered flight. Of course, a POD that major could butterfly away WWII entirely, seeing as that conflict was dependent on the outcome of the Treaty of Versailles.

Have the Moors control the entirety of Iberia, from Gibraltar to the Pyrenees. Of course, that wouldn't really be Spain, in the same way that the USA isn't really the Iroquois Confederacy. There would have to be Spanish-Moorish detente somehow. Perhaps Al-Andalus survives until the...

Bonus Material 5: Timeline of the James Bond Film Franchise (Reposting an uncensored version of this image to make it official bonus material)

You all might be interested to know that, come Friday night, I will no longer have employment. I should thus have a nice chunk of time on my hands to wrap up Act 1. The next chapter will be a Jimmy Carter chapter, and will also feature a scene from the Soviet War in Afghanistan.

This is probably the one time where nukes aren't cheating in an AHC.

He maybe could have fleshed out the question, and not just leave it at a sentence that looks for all the world like a suggestion that the government did Columbine.
