  7. WI: Dom Pedro II Not Overthrown And The Effects Of A More Stable Brazil

  13. WI: Emperor Maximillian Succeeds... As Emperor of Austria

  14. Sources on 11th century Saxon England?

    So as part of my New Years resolution I have decided to restart my abortive attempt last year to make a timeline about a continuing Anglo-Saxon England. Unfortunately I really don't know how to find sources on this kind of thing (me being only a neophyte in the timeline writing business). So...
  15. WI: Peasants Revolt Successful

    So what would the long term implications of the success of the english Peasants revolt (in that most if not all of their demands are met and things go relatively their way)? As a POD I'll go with Wat Tyler living through the situation that OTL killed him, if that could happen then I could...

  20. OTL Question and AHC: Why didnt Other Iberian Languages Find their Way Into America

    So I was recently thinking about this and I realized I couldnt find anything about it. Why didnt any of the other languages spoken in Spain move over to America?
