  1. A Dutch Victory in the Dutch-Portuguese War?

    Perhaps, if somehow South Africa ends up French, a large portion of Huguenots could relocate there (in OTL, many Huguenots already did settle there). Although the French were very strict about Huguenot settlements, meaning where they couldn't go, which could mean most of those could end up...
  2. A Dutch Victory in the Dutch-Portuguese War?

    Oops! I totally forgot about Suriname! :o I was thinking if Nieuw Holland (Dutch Brazil) somehow succeeded, how would that affect the rest of Brazil? At the time Brazil wasn't really strong, and if a country that was well financed and had a somewhat strong military force come in, there was...
  3. Who is running against Kerry this year?

    If Kerry is unpopular enough, I can see a strong challenge from within the Democratic party. Hillary would be my best guess. And a sex scandal from Kerry's VP John Edwards could weaken Kerry's re-election attempt even more. Perhaps a Clinton-Obama ticket would be introduced in the event of...
  4. A Dutch Victory in the Dutch-Portuguese War?

    I'm curious, how could the Dutch have won the war against the Portuguese? The D-P War was mainly fought by the Dutch so that the Netherlands could establish an overseas empire and increase trade. Now, the Dutch seemed to be more successful in Asia during the war, while the Portuguese fared...
  5. Why did Baseball spread worldwide, and not Gridiron Football?

    For someone who grew up in Canada, we've always had football here. Albeit a version with some alterations and our own pro league, but football's always been fairly popular here. Yes, its due mainly to our proximity to the US, which made it possible for us to just turn to the American channel on...
  6. WI "Grunge" music scene never develops

    I remember when I first moved to the US as a kid around 1994 ska was sort of on an upswing of sorts. Could ska or punk sort of fill the void?
  7. Sports What Ifs.

    For the Lindros trade-Philadelphia would probably become a much more dangerous team with a younger, less-injured Peter Forsberg while the other players such as Mike Ricci, Chris Simon etc. who played a key role in Colorado's win in 96 do the same for Philly. Quebec and Philadelphia could become...
  8. Greatest AlternateHistory Country

    I may be in the minority, but I can't say I'm a fan of Draka. As for the country I like best? I've always been a fan of either a Russian Alaska or a Norse inhabited North America.
  9. A Flag Thread

    Here's one of my flags, the Greenlandic Republic of Vinland.
  10. A Celtic Language Question

    Hello, I'm new here so I hope I'm not posting something that's already been covered. Anyways, here it goes, how could Continental Celtic languages such as Celtiberian and Gaulish survive to modern day? Would they be better off surviving in the mountainous regions like the Alps and Pyrenees...
