Somewhat inspired the the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic. Your challenge, if you choose to except it to make early creators, writers, playwrites, etc to work on crossover, collaborations and fan sequels together. Preferably the end goal would be making the modern practice of remixing...

The boost to theory might allow Maxwell to come up with the Theory of Relativity decades before Einstein. I think there was a thread about that some time ago. The idea that space is the aether, thus space can bend and warp was central to it, I think.

Perhaps if Aaron Burr died and Alexander Hamilton had a shot at the presidency. Also keeping James Madison with the Federalist would probably help too.

Its really hard to answer this question because so much depends on how it happened and what butterflies it causes. For example, If Columbus sailed for England and ended up roughly where he did OTL, then the Aztec might have fallen under the sway of the English. But would they have used trade...

Hello all. I'm trying to brainstorm a bunch of ideas for a project I'm working on. What I'm looking for is interesting historical collaborations that could have happened. The most prominent example I've seen on this site is what if Darwin (1809 – 1882) met Mendel (1822 – 1884)? Biology could...

Eurofed's United States of the Americas and Oceania features a strong federalist party. They focus on huge infrastructure projects to bind the massive USAO together

That is the major issue there. The people in the position to change the system gained power in the current system, they have no incentive to change it. I agree that they would fight to preserve the status quo.

I think the best way would be to adopt a Parliamentary system. From what I can tell they tend to produce a few more parties, especially if they use more expressive voting systems, like Range voting Woodrow Wilson was supposedly a fan of the UK's Parliament, If he was more popular he might...

Unifying Portugal with Spain proper could help. Almost all of south America would be under this greater Spain's control. Not to mention Mexico and the Philippines. I wonder if with enough early investment Iberia might be able to get its hands on South Africa and Australia. Heck it may be...

In another thread I had raised the old idea of James Clerk Maxwell living longer, possibly leading to an earlier theory of relativity. Farther back, a longer lived Miguel da Paz, Prince of Portugal could have led to portugal becoming part of Spain. A lot of fall out to that.

I found this: http://bado-shanai.net/map%20of%20physics/mopMaxwellsRelativity.htm But finding that half-remembered Sagan quote seems to be coming up dry for me. Still, this link may be enough to start. edvardas idea of Ether clouds created by massive bodies like the sun is interesting. It...

The special theory of relativity owes its origins to Maxwell's equations of the electromagnetic field. Albert Einstein, as quoted in New Scientist, Vol. 130 (1991), p. 49 Maxwell's equations have had a greater impact on human history than any ten presidents. Carl Sagan...

Carl Sagan supposedly theorized that James Clerk Maxwell could have developed the idea of relativity if he had lived longer. If the theory is developed in the 1880s (for example) it may be tested much earlier than OTL too. Though i have no idea about the technological limitations that may...

How about Romania? It could be converted by the Ottomans I think

shouldn't be surprised the symbols were identified so quickly. though in this ATL the masons a quite a bit different. the Jesuits are mostly the same, just Cathars instead. Anyways, well done. +2 bonus points for you!

First time trying to post a flag Its an odd one to be sure. Its for a TL featuring a Basque Cathar Navarre that ultimately ends up joining a surviving NATO-like Hanseatic League. This Navarre is dominated by 2 influential organizations. Bonus points for anyone who can guess what they are.

Fascinating as usual. This last post seems to indicate that some of Hitler's Generals survived the war free enough to publish books. This leads to all sorts of question about the future of Europe, and hence the world. I look forward to seeing you fill in the gaps in this last post! Best...

There was an interesting start of a TL here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=147292 a typical flag here: https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=5480720&postcount=1488

Utterly fascinating writing as always. I had a further thought regarding your Institute for Blood Transfusion. In your TL you have Chairman Asimov of the Socialist Technocratic Party. I assume this is Isaac Asimov. If so then I would note that OTL he died of complications were the result...

First time poster here. Utterly fascinating timeline here. Very respectful handling of what could be controversial topics. I just a few questions. It was Bogdanov that became the first human to receive a head transplant? (or body transplant, if you prefer). Did he get cryo-preserved after...
