    Ptolemy's Map and the Antilles?

    Plausible but without any physical evidence in the Antilles suggesting that any explorers from Antiquity had been there it won't be accepted. Much like Vinland was thought a misunderstanding or a myth until the Norse settlement was found, all claims of pre-columbian contact are suspect - even...

    July '44 Plot Succeeds; Does the Junta cover up the death camps?

    They either try to cover up/downplay the camps or they try to use them as what makes them different from the Nazis and why they overthrew the regime while downplaying their involvement.

    Nickelodeon cancels SpongeBob in 2003

    I mean, the causation of the cancellation is much more important than the effects of it here. If the ratings dipped enough to consider cancellation - it has no strong legacy. It likely becomes a cult classic ala Invader Zim. If Fairly Oddparents has the crazy ratings Spongebob got, then...

    Easiest POD to produce a Central Powers victory in WW1?

    Russia's not going to being doing much worse than otl in this scenario early on- Germany will still need a force on the French frontier, which will no doubt be facing strong offensives during the entire Eastern campaign. Germany will not lose land in east prussia at first, but the russians will...

    Easiest POD to produce a Central Powers victory in WW1?

    No, the British were debating and increasingly in favor of involvement before Belgium is even violated. The naval build up Germany had embarked on essentially ensures British involvement. Italy is also looking to join, they waited until 1915 to court the best offer and get the public opinion...

    Easiest POD to produce a Central Powers victory in WW1?

    Monte Grappa was certainly winnable, but it wouldn't do much to improve Germany's prospects in the West. Also, I'm not sure if the Italian leadership would give up with the loss of Venice, though desertions would tick up even more than the extremely high rate the Italian army had. Austria is...

    DBWI: What If the Beatles Stayed Together?

    I wonder if Kurt Cobain and John Lennon still do that collab album if the Beatles never break up? definitely kept Lennon relevant in the early 90s...

    DBWI: What If the Beatles Stayed Together?

    They were a less talented Stones who made songs for little girls. Sure, Revolver was a step in the right direction - but I can’t see them becoming serious artists.

    DBWI: Michael Jackson did not die of AIDS in 1992

    The anti-gay backlash in the African-American community following Michael's death was severe... Par the course for a violent decade that includes the LA Riots, the nationwide OJ Riots, the Bojinka attacks, and the OKC Bombing.

    European-wide revolutionary war immediately after world war 1

    Yeah this is way more likely to happen during the war than immediately after. I guess some combination of harsh punishment to the French mutineers, Italian deserters, and a German socialist movement taking advantage of this could lead to widespread revolutions working together with the bolsheviks

    AHC: Free State of Upper Silesia After World War I?

    If Tsarist Russia survives they have a free hand at Eastern Europe with French backing. Britain won’t be happy but won’t be in a position to challenge them.

    Could Italy flip sides following a 1917 defeat in WW1?

    Yeah, at best case even in the harshest peace they might guarantee a Venetian independence (definitely enough culture recently enough independent to justify it), a demilitarized zone, and use of Northern Italy’s factories for the next few years but beyond that is pushing it, especially if the...

    Could Italy flip sides following a 1917 defeat in WW1?

    Obviously it would be begrudgingly (To the populace at least) and they’d have to deal with issues like Entente forces currently in Italy, but if it guarantees them essentially a white peace in defeat, promises them easy spoils, and let’s say Germany ques then into the Spring Offensive so they...

    Could Italy flip sides following a 1917 defeat in WW1?

    Let’s say Caporetto is slightly even more successful and then somehow Monte Grappa is an astounding Austrian victory. Italy is ready for peace with CP. Would Italy accept joining CP if promised 1914 borders with Austria, Nice, Savoy, and Malta, no war indemnities and colonial gains?
