An 20th Century novel written during and about the World War II Second Siege of Malta from the 21st of August 1941 to the 16th of November 1941 and how the small island (Mouse) was able to defend itself (Roared) against the offending forces of Nazi Germany, Italy and Vichy France. Often...

The governing institutions survive. The WRE being conquered by a barbarian kingdom with the leader crowning himself as Emperor/King doesn't count. Any succession must be directly Roman. If you literally just mean that Honorius is perhaps captured in battle and passes the position of Emperor to...

The challenge is to feasibly change historical events so that the Western Roman Empire is able to survive past 476 AD, with a POD of 376 AD. Would it be possible for the Western Roman Empire to survive up to the late 6th Century or even later? EDIT: Furthermore, avoid unifying it with the...

The Royal Union of the British Isles? The Empire of Britannia? The Imperial Realm of Britain and Ireland? The British Union?

Would anyone be able to post a blank map of Alexander the Great's empire, along with all of Europe please? Most maps I find can't be edited and tend to cut off Europe from the map west of Epirus and north of Thrace.

Jeez, someone needs to end this thread, it's starting to turn into a bitter argument, pretty much like every other thread that even hints at Britain vs America -.-

To be fair I never mentioned anything about Mike McCready. Perhaps Mad Season could form a different way? I know the whole point of Layne getting put into Mad Season was to act as a distraction from his heroin addiction, but he was already friends with the guy if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps Mad...

Layne Staley doesn't break his foot in '92 and thus avoids going back to heroin (Staley had just became clean when the foot break happened, and so he ended up going back to heroin while recovering); Staley's influence convinces his girlfriend Demri Parrott to drop her addiction too and thus she...

What if Octavian was designated as Caesar's heir in Caesar's will just like OTL? Would it even be revealed, or better yet would the teenage Octavian even know what to do with this status? I'm not trying to push for Octavian to be involved in this at all, just trying to see what role he would...

What if Pompey had managed to defeat Caesar at Pharsalus in 48 BC and Caesar died either in battle or shortly thereafter. What exactly would have changed? Would Pompey have followed Caesar's example and established his own hegemony over Rome, or would someone else step forward immediately and...

The Pope was probably the title of the highest honour and prestige overall. Also take into account that the Middle Ages spanned a good few hundred years, so the prestige and honour of titles would have shifted over the years. The title of Byzantine Emperor might have meant a lot in the early...

The question is whether or not Nikolai Bukharin would have been able to take power over the Soviet Union following the death of Lenin. What sort of POD would you need to have him triumph over the personalities of Stalin and Trotsky? Is it even possible? If so, how would his reign over the Soviet...

Alice in Chains could be a good replacement for Nirvana. AIC had already experienced some attention with Facelift, so it'd hardly be implausible to imagine Dirt making them lead the grunge movement. It'd just mean that grunge would gain mainstream attention a year later than OTL. Layne dying...

I heard that Harold's army was lacking cavalry at Hastings, and I'm sure it was the same at Stamford Bridge :/ either way the Anglo-Saxons could have possibly adopted Norman techniques in battle.

Habemus Papam What if Pope Benedict IX was unable to reconquer the Papacy after selling the position to his godfather? 1032 - 1045: Benedict IX (Papal State) 1045 - 1052: John XX (Papal State) [1] 1052 - 1060: Benedict X (Papal State) [2] 1060 - 1061: Sergius V (Duchy of Saxony) [3] 1061 -...

Anglo-Saxon England would certainly see much cultural influence from other countries, and as previously said, France would be a very likely candidate for said influence. It would be interesting if the Irish could have a profound influence on Anglo-Saxon culture but that's pretty much ASB I...

What-if the Moroccan Crises of 1905 and 1911 never happened? How would this affect Franco-German as well as Anglo-German relations in the lead-up to World War I? Would it possibly delay World War I, or even stop it completely?

What would be the outcomes of such an event? How would China and the USSR react, along with the rest of the world, and how would the Cold War continue?

How would the French resistance and the future of France itself be affected if Charles de Gaulle was shot down and killed while flying to Britain to seek refuge?

What-if Hadrian, instead of being the respected and overall praised ruler that he is seen as now, was psychotic very much like Caligula or Nero? How would this affect the Roman Empire during Hadrian's reign and in the future? Would this lead to the breakdown of the empire a lot earlier than in...
