  1. World War Z: Filling In The Gaps

    Given that the book was written when it was, it could just as likely be Condi Rice. Clinton could be it too, but it's not quite enough to confirm. May even be Collins, since she would fit the Centrist model.
  2. Lacustrine (lake based) combat...

    The American Civil War had plenty of this. But I could see Nile warfare in an Egyptian Civil War, colonial combat on the lakes of Africa, maybe French/Indians versus British on the Ganges?
  3. Vlad Dracul bows before the Sultan

    How would you make this happen? The man hated the ottomans with a passion.
  4. World War Z: Filling In The Gaps

    I still think its funny the Powell chose Dean as VP. Different world I guess. Though since the book was written well before 2008, he could've meant Condi Rice also.
  5. WI: Frances Settles the Louisiana Territory

    That's what I mean, Haiti was at the time more profitable, and when he lost it he abandoned holding Louisiana.
  6. AHC/WI- Surviving State of Franklin

    East Tennessee was always vastly different than the rest of the state. In the Civil war they could very well cut most of the rail lines connecting Virginia to Nashville.
  7. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    There could very well be huge riots. It would be like the 60s all over again.
  8. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    Managed to win as Romney despite losing the popular vote significantly .http://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/31723 I also only won Florida by 190 votes.
  9. AHC/WI- Surviving State of Franklin

    No thoughts on a separate Appalachian state like this one?
  10. WI: Frances Settles the Louisiana Territory

    You would need Haiti not to fall for Louisiana to still look profitable- the loss of Haiti was part of the reason Napoleon sold Louisiana.
  11. AHC/WI- Surviving State of Franklin

    It was After the revolution, so the United States did exist. But yes, it is a very unique story. They seceded from North Carolina in order to join the Union because they felt the Overmountain community weren't going to be represented well by North Carolina. It was at its founding, in all senses...
  12. Could This Man Potentially Stopped The Holocaust?

    That's a very interesting story. He may have well been able to make the policies against Jews less harsh, or distract Hitler from that final goal. Which would only make the world worse in the long run if the Nazis weren't as antisemitic.
  13. World War Z: Filling In The Gaps

    It may be a major reporter from OTL, but like the others he won't name names. However shed either be a journalistic hero or hated,miso she may not want to be in public.
  14. AHC/WI- Surviving State of Franklin

    In the 1780s, an area of East Tennessee and Kentucky seceded from North Carolina and declared itself the state of Franklin, and appealed to join the U.S. Chaos ensued as North Carolina attempted to reclaim the area, and Spain even offered Governor John Sevier a vast sum of money to join them...
  15. President Fred Thompson

    Bush could have a disastrous first term and get LBJ'd, then Thompson would be very well set up within 2004.
  16. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    Anyone recommend any other election games like this one?
  17. Could Spain have conquered China?

    Spain could get Taiwan and whatever is close enough to support from the Philippines. But logistically a relatively tiny force like Cortes couldnt do anything without the support of a dynastic struggle.
  18. AHC: Successful Filibuster State

    William Walker in Northern Mexico would be your best bet. It would require more men and support, though.
  19. Economy of a Surviving Kerensky Republic

    Good question. Poland didn't have quite the internal unrest Russia had though.
  20. Economy of a Surviving Kerensky Republic

    Russia existing would certainly screw Wilson in Versailles over Poland. If Poland existed, He would have to deal with a much smaller one (which, if he was just going over ethnically Polish areas anyway, it should've been.)
