In the mid century, many literary scholars argued that children did not need fantasy stories, that children should be reading realistic fiction instead. There were some who opposed it, even argued it in journals. Most notably, it was CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien who championed children's fantasy...

In the first southern rebellion, the federals scored a decisive victory at Bull Run and were able to occupy Richmond. The "Rape of Richmond" is a touchy subject, so let's leave politics out of this. I am wondering what would have happened if the rebels won at Bull Run, would they be able to go...

I just find the whole situation laughable. Didn't the lower classes make up about 95% of the population? It would explain the later Engelist (OOC: IOTL Marxist) movements that the region experienced. One of my friends claims that if Sir George joined the rebellion, it would have lead to France...

How could I forget about that one? I was a bit surprised how fast it was made into a movie after that popular novel adaptation of it was made back in 1991. Part of me wishes that Disney did more folk tales, it is a shame that authors like Hans Christian Andersen, Roger Lanclyn Green and George...

Did anyone see the trailer for "Kapiolani and Pele"? It is so great that we are going to get a Polynesian Disney princess! Sounds like it is going to be a fun movie, especially since we have never had a Hawaiian Disney movie before. But do you think Disney is ready to have a strong female...

This would be a simple matter of not having the Germans back out on their promise to back the reds. They had originally pledged the funds to help get Russia out of the war, but could not assemble the equipment or money to give to the rebels as the war had taken too much of a toll on their economy.

But you would have to agree that Prince of Egypt was just as or maybe even more important when it came to putting Disney on secure financial footing. It was a risky move in itself, the Eighties brought a heyday of religious fervor that was tied to politics and the nineties had a huge...

It would only end in Sir Washington being hung for treason. I do not think that the number one land and naval power in the world can be defeated by peasants no matter who was leading them.

Simple, blue collar = hooliganism. It is a shame that sports never really taken off in places like New York and Washington, those people would have respect for the game, but people complained and mayors would have none of it. They should take the teams out of the poorer cities and move them...

Why do you hate Tricky Dick so much? Would you have rather had that wack-job Reagan, it was bad enough that Brittan had thatcher and Canada had a non violent far-right "coup" during the eighties. I think that a failed Nixon presidency would have dissolved the states into some stupid...

I have a feeling that Disney would divest in film making altogether. Keep in mind that they really needed a hit after a string of flops. I have done research on this and it was "Cinderella" all over again in the way that it helped the company. Eisner made it clear if these projects didn't work...

Thanks for your input, I am wondering if there is any PODs in between, anything ARW era, or perhaps even seven years wars. Maybe having someone like Brant having the ambition to create the nation (seems highly unlikely to me) Or something to give the tribes more leverage during the Robinson...

My goals for this challenge is to create an independent native state in North America, this is a more daunting task than it first seems. First off, there are several jumping off points where I can start, arranged from oldest to newest they are: 1628 - The start of the Huron-Iroqouis war. I feel...

Sword, Anne was beheaded by a sword. Henry even imported a swordsman as his one last act of grace.

True, I was upset when my fifteen year old had a legitimate heir. One should be that if people iotl still exist they should be used first.

No new timelines. Allow the current ones to get to present day then once the last one is ended request a lock.

Thanks, IOTL, it was the canadian jet escorting the russian jet to an airshow in 1989

I think the key here is the aliance with England. Have Japan westernize earlier and become a regional force. They then attack English china and some small Portuguese islands in the pacific. England calls in support from Portugal to help defend against the invasion. It ends with England and...

I always use this as an exqmple of an asb war.
