This is for a TL idea I'm working on, but who would succeed von Moltke the Younger if he were to die/retire in late 1912/early 1913? I haven't been able to find much on the internet, so any help is appreciated EDIT: Crap, wrong section. Could a mod move this please?

I'm basically thinking along the lines of TL-191 where Lee destroys the Army of the Potomac (I know that wouldn't have happened, but let's roll with it). I've always been curious what would happen to the counties that seceded from Virginia, since West Virginia didn't become a state until 1864...

I've noticed in that a lot of American Civil War AHs, if the Confederates do attack Washington, they always do it at Fort Stevens? Grant Comes East and Guns of the South are the two that spring to mind. Now, is there anything about Fort Stevens or its location that makes it a better target...

Now this is not my strong point in history, to say the least, but I just read a short article on the battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny(Waterloo Campaign). The French I Corps was coming up to the battles and moved to attack the Prussians' right at Lingny when Ney, who was unaware of Napoleon's...

Well, kind of. I figured there should be something today in honor of D-Day, so here goes. What if Rommel got what he wanted in France and all the Panzer forces were put close to the coast and the invasion beaches? My two-cents: The Germans still think the attack will be at Calais, but...

The challenge for you is to give your take on the "perfect" U.S. Constitution. Basically, the idea is if you could write the Constitution and it had to be accepted, what would you change? Before I try rewriting the entire thing, I'll just say one thing: clarify WTF the 2nd Amendment stands for:mad:

Is it at all possible/plausible for the British to buy the Alta California territory from Mexico, specifically in 1840s? I don't know much about British political history, or Mexican for that matter, so I'm at a loss here. Also, how might the U.S. respond to such a purchase, if one were to happen?

First, what would it take for there to be a coherent, unified, and nationwide anti-Lincoln movement, instead of having three separate parties in most states? Second, could such a ticket win, since OTL Lincoln only received 40% of the votes, but 60% of the electoral vote? Third, what...

Sorry if there are threads like this already, but the search function is not working with me at the moment. Like the title says, get the French to win the French and Indian War, or the North American part of the Seven Years War depending on where you are, and have France gain the British...

As I'm sure many people here know, Julia was Julius Caesar's daughter and Pompey the Great's (4th IIRC) wife (the two seemed to actually be in love despite the marriage being political). She died in premature childbirth in 54 BC after seeing her husband's toga covered in blood and assumed it was...
