Not really possible after 1900, unless the Jewish Religion (or parts of the Jewish religion) go on a missionary conversion streak. While Judiasm wasn't always hostile to converts, since the Roman Emperors embraced Christanity, the Jews have pretty much treated converts crappily...so....no.

Probably the easiest route, although I think given Soviet nuclear capabilities, the U.S. could probably recover to a 2nd tier country even after the Cuban nuclear crisis. (France Levels) For an alternate take, have the British bring the South (Carolinas and Georgia) back into the fold during...

I'm trying to decipher the meaning of this expression, could you help? :p

Well, Africa was colonized by Europeans rather late in the period of European hegemony. Although "Atlantic Creoles" existed early on, and are the conduit through which most of the slave trade occurred. (Atlantic Creoles were mixed race persons, usually with European fathers and African...

I'd much prefer Spartacus X to show up in this timeline, or the Rabbi King, but whatever.

I'm not quite sure why you'd say India stands out as being proof of the invalidity of the North-South theory, considering how often native Indian subcontinent civilization was destroyed / conquered by invaders from the East-West Eurasian continent. (North Africa experienced the same, it was the...

If Lee, or the Confederates in general, are to win the battle of Gettysburg by their own merits, they probably need to win it on the first day. Which means they need to arrive in such a manner, and behave in such a manner, as to secure the heights around the city by nightfall. I believe, by July...

Anyway, as to the question, I think Africa is probably largely "Screwed" as long as it and its "Negroid" population remains oriented on a North-South Axis. Change that, and you may butterfuly away the origins of man entirely. Nevertheless, Africa needs to be shifted to an East-West Axis if the...

Is it arguing that "Black" Sub-Saharans were a part of ancient North African demography or that blacks were the principal population of North Africa / "Tunisia" in the 3rd Century? Secondly, what does blacks in Tunisia have to do with African-American Studies? Or is this a Black Studies class...

Perhaps a stronger Spain, which was able to crush the first two or three rebellions might produce this... Anyway, at the very least, it probably involves Simon Bolivar being a dead martyr of a failed independence movement for at least a generation or two..., along with a few colloquialisms...

Your challenge, if you should choose to accept it, it to screw America so bad (don't jump for joy quiet yet foreigners) that these sweet young ladies, rather than being beautiful examples of the freedom boys fighting spirits, when combinesd with their mating spirits, can bring, are denoted in...

This belongs in pre-1900. It was possible, remotely, in the aftermath of the Civil War, depending on how 'Reconstruction' goes. After the end OTL / Historical end of Reconstruction, I'd have to say no.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, it to create a timeline in which American urbanites are viewed as the people most obsessed with the 2nd Amendment, and the vast majority of guns of all types are owned by urbanites, with Urban militias being pretty much ubiquitous.

Maybe in a single state, but probably not with a post 1900 pod. The various Protestant denominations were never cozy enough to begin with, and I doubt the Lutherans would accept a Baptist hegemony - or the episcopleians or Methodist for that matter - let alone the issues that arise when...

Eer It would probably tarnish somewhat the concept of republicanism, which might not butterfly away French anger when the food shortages come, but might very well channel it in more traditional ways. Moreover, whether occupying America makes the UK relatively weaker or stronger than otl in the...

I wonder if there might not be some sort of slave league in the south, where football is even more brutal, and "entertaining" but it's okay because only chattle people are involved. "Mandingo" football in the South, as it were....

Exactly. Without being an expert in far east colonization, I suspect the native population of the Americas would have been more resistant, as a whole, to European colonization, than any island population. Islands, after all, don't tend to form resistance confederations.

The easiest, although most outlandish way, to jumpstart African civilization is butterfly away the drying of Sahara, and perhaps through in another great north to south river or two, which is at least somewhat navigable.

The question is, how successful could Bacon's rebellion realty be? In the end, it'd probably be crushed by new troops from England. Granted, it is an interesting POD for a European / African alliance against the natives, but I have a hard time realistically seeing it surviving, unless somehow it...
