This was the same in his domestic administration also. Things like spurning congressional pork spending because it was "dishonest", ruining his relationship with the majority democratic congress at the first opportunity, sabotaging the equal rights amendment for petty reasons, Carter would need...

With different population concerns , its possible that the British might be more amiable to greater Jewish migration to the Mandate of Palestine. On the longer order, its possible that Feisal and Abdullah might go to war with Israel at some point, but given their natures, some sort of wider...

Additionally to all the info above, recorded files of the scientists talking when they thought no one was looking reveals that they were purposely sabotaging the project because they felt that Hitler was immoral. It's impossible for Germany to get the bomb in any fashion that has them go down a...

This is an interesting idea. It's not far fetched, but Justinian would be best to focus on those areas neigh immediately after the start of his reign. It sort of runs into complications because those city states were under defacto control of the Himyar until the Himyarite fell to Aksum in 527...

Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism died at the age of 44 in the year 1904. What would be the effect on Israeli politics if he survived another 44 years until the creation of the state of Israel in 1948? Just sort of looking for perspectives on Israeli politics and society during the...

A general outline of the war is Egypt and Syria catching Israel off guard, and making major headway initially. Israel is fighting back but things are tough. Israel cables the United States and says if they aren't resupplied they're going to have to resort to nuclear weapons, and indeed begins to...

If the Bantu expansion is much more cohesive and manages to centralize control over the East African city states (Rhapta, Nikon, Sarapion), we'd see a fairly powerful east African state around the African Great lakes region during Roman times with extensive trade with Rome, Parthia, India, and...

Soooo, I believe (although I might be wrong on this) that relegating the Jews to some part of South Eastern Europe (in what would probably be best compared to a Native American Reservation in the states) may have been floated around the Nazi government before the "final solution" of mass...

I whipped up a badly shopped flag for the confederacy from the current flag of the city of Alexandria, to further push the Alexandria as capital argument.

No. They'd probably welcome that as a solution unless Israel installs a literal apartheid system to stop palestinian influence on Israeli politics. And Israel wouldn't annex the territory that late in the game unless there were specific cultural positions and movements gaining power among the...

Hey, just found the thread. It's pretty good, although I wanted to do some nitpicking in regards to the 1973 war. The US and Soviet Union got involved with the peace settlement OTL becuase Israel already had substantial nuclear capability at the time and had mobilized their nuclear arsenal to be...

Alexandria would be a great capital, both for being relatively in the center of the Confederacy, having easy sea access, being in one of the world's most ancient civilizations, as well as being the location of the lighthouse of Alexandria, which could be seen as a symbolic precursor to the...

So the Mishna and Gemara are books on religious controversies, and those issues were solved through debate within them. Considering how Judaism views earlier 'cases' of rabbinic law to have precedence over later decisions, any early changes impact the future outlook of the entire religion. Even...

Sort of like the proposed Intermarrum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermarium It's not exactly pan-slavic, although it does have an expanded Poland.

Historically, there are extensive trading networks going down the coast of East Africa until present day Zimbabwe that participated in the Indian ocean trade with China. Given the Roman Empire's obsession with finding resources to upkeep the lucrative trade with China, and various emperors...

There were a lot of potential unions in the 1960's due to pan-arabism. At its greatest extent, the Ottoman Empire controlled all of North Africa except Morocco.

An important point to remember is that India was split into more portions and different princely states were made independent, but India quickly conquered them and subsumed them into itself. Theoretically, India could be divided any tremendous number of ways if not for the pan-Indian sentiment...

Really loving this timeline so far! I've always found earlier international conflicts, interesting, and it seems like you're taking this in a good direction.

The Jordanian Palestinian Israeli country only works as a super national union perhaps, something akin to the EU but with a more powerful government. Egypt is doable with a strong Coptic community, changes to Egyptian nationalism and a revived Coptic language.

>Query would he start a war in Iraq Colin Powell was staunchly against the Iraq war, but for the war in Afghanistan. The entire push for Iraq came from Bush's foreign policy advisers whom Powell hated.
