Maybe the Spanish hanging on to Louisiana? Or no Louisiana Purchase?

I know I will get killed for this, but I read in a book a while back that early in the war the Union, due to a superior navy, ahd the chance to capture a number of coastal Confederate cities. Assuming they had done so, would the Union have been able to launch several campaigns from these...

Can it involve Rove becoming a follower of the Sith? Seriously tho, from what I know of Rove his idea is not to be the guy publicly in control, but to be the advisor behind the scenes. Seems to me the POD would have to involve something to change that view in Rove, like something he views as...

Well, I didn't actually have a reason for the US staying out, I was just wondering how it would be if they had.

So if, for whatever reason, the US did not enter WW2, how tough would it have been for the British/Commonwealth soldiers in the Pacific. Not to imply that without the US they were screwed, but I'm sure having the US Navy, Marines, and Army was a welcome help for the Australian and New Zeland...

I think True Blood is a great show and since I'm not a teenage girl I think its a whole lot better than Twilight. The books go a lot further into vampire politics and area actually quite a bit different, but the show is great too. My big question is what happens to a modern person, who has a...

I had to go with the archduke surviving. Maybe without his death at that particular time, WWI would have butterflied away into several smaller regional conflicts, with much lower loss of life, the avoidance of the rise of the Communists in Russia and the Nazis in Germany, and the 20th looking a...

I think you are right, that victory is out of the question for the CSA. However, with Lee retreating and saving a large portion of his army, and linking up with Johnston, maybe the war would have just dragged on for several more months. I could see a similar situation to OTL Appomatox developing...

We have to keep in mind that at the time saying "I'm a good person" and "I own slaves" was not a contradiction to most people.

Sry here they are ^ "Deepfreeze Defense". Time Magazine. 1947-01-27. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,778870,00.html. Miller, John J. (2001-05-07). "Let's Buy...

Sure. I found the info on Wikipedia, which is of course the only reliable source on the internet. :p However, it did have two sources for that particular bit of info.

So i just read that in 1946 the United States attempted to purchase Greenland from Denmark. If the Danes had agreed, would this have had any significant effect on the course of American history? Would Greenland have become a state (if they could somehow get populated enough), or would it remain...

Geeze I think that would be a terrible tragedy, even worse than MLK getting killed OTL. Maybe a more radical black liberation movement would have gotten an earlier start, growing into a more militant version of the Civil Rights Movement. Possibly more influence for the Nation of Islam. I can't...

Cool. That's what I was looking for. How similar it would look to OTL. Thanks for real this time.

Thanks for the education George. I'm not a complete idiot, really, and I do read enough to know about butterflies. I am wondering how much of a difference this would make to the rest of european history. That's all. No need to act superior.

Thanks for the insightful comment.

OK, people always talk about butterflies and all that, so I had a question come to be earlier today. I was playing the Renaissance Total War mod for Medieval II Total War as the Timurids, and I was throughly kicking the crap out of the Ottomans. So, if the Timurids were able to conquer the...

OK, here goes my first ever map post (hope it goes right). I have been reading about Roman Ungern von Sternberg, and though I know that it would probably take ASBs to put him into a place to take power in the Russian Far East, let alone all of the USSR, lets say for argument he did. I have also...

You also have to convince the Africans involved not to rebel and stay under Imperial rule, too. So maybe having fewer, larger colonies would help (like British East Africa staying as one nation or French West Africa being one country).

Ok, before start, I want to say that I have no idea how to answer this question, and that's why I'm posting here. I've been thinking about the colonization of African and how the arbitrary borders have contributed to most of these nations pretty messed up since their independence. So, here's the...
