Without rewriting a lot of history and butterfly gore, potentially not. A rising power in the same sense as India or Brazil? Yes. But a great power in the same sense as China, or even Canada? Not really no.

Britain. They can swear new oaths or being kicked out of the service, if they're lucky. If not they're tried and jailed, most likely to be pardoned within a few years. Most facing such prospects will rather go into exile. No more or less so than they were of Isabella. No.

Keep the French Republican Calendar, which very minimal to no modifications, in use up until the present time.

Please, please, let it be a parody. :eek: :(

Well obviously, it was the peak of the ages of imperialism and nationalism after all, but surely some things can be different from OTL.

Alright so we've established plenty of things that caused more problems than they solved, and how/why things couldn't go drastically different from IOTL (e.g. a WWII-esque UN/NATO treaty system), what could be changed for the better?

I'm sure this has been done to death before, but how could Dewey win the '48 election, and what would be the consequences? How does President Dewey handle the end of the Chinese Civil War and PRC control of the mainland? What about Korea? Or the Soviets becoming a nuclear power? What happens to...

Britain's Liberal Democrats, as pointed out by Meadow up thread, aren't a significant party in the sense that they're never going to take control. Canada's Liberals are much the same way. They're more a protest vote against the two major parties than they are a viable political platform...

Bump. Anyone else?

The issue isn't the electoral college, it's first-past-the-post. You see the same thing in Britain, Canada, S. Korea, etc.

Terminator seems quite late, Arnold was already a big star after the two Conan films. Changing his casting in Terminator just frees him up to do other roles; perhaps we see the third Conan movie produced.

But the Entente, with the sole exception of Wilson, wasn't interested in a lasting peace. Remember the US had a completely different experience in WWI than say France or Britain. For all the talk of the War to End All Wars, at least in my reading, none of the participants were interested in...

RoI patch notes. Release date confirmed for March 25th. As well some new screen shots. Pretty excited :D

Venezuelan Hitler-esque stupidity there. Attack all your most powerful neighbors all at once, sure why not! :rolleyes:

Thanks guys :) profxyz, I was able to find Chandler on Google Books. Anyone else? I'm currently working my way through Rude's The French Revolution, and I also have Hunt's The French Revolution & Doyle's The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction on hand. I should have copies of...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I wasn't sure where to put this. Basically what it says on the tin. Does anyone have any recommended reading on the later French Revolution/early Napoleonic period? I'm looking at 1795-1800 here, basically as the revolution ends and Napoleon's rise to power...

Adding books "later" means not taking the easy route of simply having a different canon form in the first place. What about something akin to the Dead Sea scrolls being discovered by the Crusaders, who then take that knowledge back to Europe? Or the Gospel of Mary or of Gospel of Nicodemus...

It's more than Gore would have taken a very hard line on terrorism from his first day in office, continuing the policies he & Clinton had used under the latter's administration. The Bush admin scaled back dramatically on such things after taking office, which is why even though we had...

Is 9/11 one of those things happens in every timeline because it's so central to the history of the last thirteen years that imagining a world without it is difficult? Clinton/Gore were extremely tough on terrorism, one of the things the Bush admin slacked off on considerably their first year...
