Oi, great maps! Anyone got a map of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula in 1855? I might have missed it in my searching.... I need one for a TL I'm working on.

I'm wondering if the Germans would take possesion of some English African colonies. I bet that the Germans would take Papua from Britain, Zanzibar, as well as parts of Nyasaland, Bechuanaland , Nigeria, Uganda, and British East Africa. Maybe even the Gold Coast, being right next to Togoland. I...

"When Communism stands astride the world, we shall be the masters of all nations! We will be a colossus above all! And we shall urinate in their fountains, use their flags as moist towelettes, and blow our noses with their constitutions!" Josef Stalin after having drunk slightly more than...

Yeah, American Roma are able to integrate fully, but she's from an Italian Roma community that left Hungary in the 20's. She's from it. Like, born and raised in this community. She's in this country cause her brother brought her here a couple years ago, and I met her cause her brother and I...

I think the only way to get European Royalty to look at themselves as equals, not superiors, not African royalty would be the presence of like an uber-Ethiopian Empire. Oi, I just got an idea for a timeline.... my world war one tl is getting dull.... I realized I'm writing it like a book and not...

My girlfriend is an Italian Roma and I asked her about the idea of a Roma nation, just simply asking what she thought of a Roma nation, and she actually laughed. Then she asked who would respect it... And then said that half the Roma are so ingrained into a criminal lifestyle and mentality...

Umm, one thing I noticed over there is that the Roma aren't really regarded as having much honor. And yeah, the couple dozen I dealt with lived up to that stereotype, but I'm hoping it's just a stereotype.

have Charles, Prince of Wales, marry a black woman instead of Diana, and there you go.

I have a feeling if it were an actual college, it probably would have been burned down more than once....

Oi, Cornelius, I'm with you there in terms of the Italians. The nation had just been unified 50 years before and it wasn't well integrated, with the Army of the Savoy providing basically the only stable officer corps. Hell, one Italian king, regent, or something said before the unification...

One problem with having a US more Romanesque is how to disuade the attitude that came through in the Late Republic and then in the Principate Era... the one of seizing power and civil wars and nasty transitions. Find a way around that and I think it would be good. You'd also have to determine in...

I got bored and wrote up a description of the Sumatra Incident in the style of the Mammoth Book of Naval Battles. Haha, feedback is greatly appreciated and I'd like to know if I'm wasting my energy writing this stuff or if it's actually good. Besides, I just felt the need for an Ottoman-Dutch...

Hmmm... potential for a Japanese-American front in Siberia... I don't think it'd be too hard, although Russian resources would definately help Germany, but I think Russia would be the loose brick that would bring the whole castle down.

Dude, sounds pretty cool. Make it happen man. It'd prolly be the most looked down upon nation in Europe though... even more so than Ireland...

Oi, can this be moved to Timelines and Scenarios please? Sorry! This is a TL I've been working on off and on for six or seven years know. I think I maaaay have posted this TL in it's original form right after I joined the board a few years ago. It is the build up to a Great War between an...

Well, first you'd identify who would take over, and who, or what country, would be killed or have a war waged against because of it.

Black, I don't thiiink the Hapsburgs would be too fond of one of their line marrying a muslim unless they were being totally crushed by them. But if it did happen, I think you and Valdemar would be on to something.

Hm, I just thought of this while reading Pasha's post. Would it still count if the Ottomans just conquered every European Kingdom capable of fielding a feasible army? Then they'd pretty much decide what counted as western... although it'd be cheating...

I think the best way would to have a much, much more Greek and Roman influenced society. But I doubt Europe would have liked the fact they were Islamic, no matter the language. If you find a way to Christianize them, and increase the Greek and Roman influences, you might as well just have the...

Oi, my brother is really big into it. Although he is very well educated about Norse culture, being a very intelligent anthropology student, He's still an idiot looking for a place to belong.
