  1. WI: Haitian Revolution fails?

    I don't think it would butterfly away the Louisiana Purchase, but it would certainly mean an increase in the slave trade to replace the slaves lost in the failed revolution. In the future, it might make the French more (or, assuming Napoleon goes down like in OTL, less) sympathetic to the...
  2. Let Us Die To Make Men Free: Garibaldi's America

    Garibaldi as a Union general, kicking the confederacy right where it hurts and generally being an awesome abolitionist republican revolutionary? Yeah, I think I'm going to enjoy this timeline.
  3. Is "Pulling an Meiji" truely unique?

    To some extent, the Meiji Restoration was only possible due to somewhat friendly relations with European powers. In a lot of cases, westernizing in a manner similar to Japan would be pretty improbable. I'd say that, were an event like the Meiji Restoration occur, it would be in the Ottoman...

The Indian subcontinent is home to surprising amounts of cultural diversity, even more so in ancient times (which is where the POD would have to be). This is because it's large, and...
  5. AHC: Make Impeachment Relatively Common in America

    You'd either have to vastly decrease the normal standards for an impeachment (which would require an amendment) or every elected official in America would need to be even more corrupt than they are usually.
  6. AHC: Have american and british accents remain relatively similar

    Well, I think that this might happen if there were some sort of deeper contact between Britain and the Colonial US. If I recall correctly, modern English accents had not yet developed, so you'd need constant communication between the two in order to foster a similar development in their...
  7. Actions of a fascist US during WWII?

    Assuming the fascist party that has managed to take over the US is militaristic (most fascists are) then I believe it's unlikely they'll join the Axis. In fact, they might even come to blows with them over the Pacific, possibly annexing various Pacific islands from the Japanese. As for them...
