  1. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I was never a huge fan of Space Precinct, but it had its moments. Glad it gets more love ITTL, and delighted the Creature Shop is back in business. And the first mention of Sky TV in the timeline, slightly earlier than I'd have expected!
  2. Is it possible for Britain to remain the number one with a POD after 1900?

    After two world wars the United Kingdom lost its status as the strongest power on earth. Some people might argue that if the world wars were avoided or if Britain won quickly the UK would still be the number one. But I am not sure if this is true. The Americans, the Russians and the Germans all...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    Definitely drop some names and dates as to how it can be achieved. If anything, this could definitely make the African continent very interesting...
  4. WI: Make Anatolians the craddle of European civilization

    After an admittedly short amount of reading, I understood it was a culmination of being beaten up on by many neighbours. The Assyrian conquests certainly didn't help.
  5. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Unless the Indian Union counts as one? I suspect the *US ranks a bit below France in the economic rankings ITTL.
  6. AHC: British Korea

    What if Britain had annexed the Korean Peninsula into the British Empire, what with Britain having a heavy present presence in Asia already through India, Hong Kong, Singapore and so on? Though to be fair, the British Empire had a heavy presence everywhere except ironically Continental Europe...
  7. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    from what i can find the 7.92x40 CETME had an overall round length of 75mm, whilst the 7.62 Nato is 71mm. The figures for the .270 EN2 round and the 7.92x40 CETME are almost the same. So here is my ATL proposal a CETME type round of 7.62nn calibre with a cartridge length of 71mm to match the...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    And if you look at the map provided by the Global South, it does feature India and China in prominent positions, despite their geographical positions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_South#/media/File%3ANorth_South_divide.svg
  9. WI Joachim Von Ribbentrop never existed?

    Perhaps he wouldn't mess up Anglo-German relations quite so thoroughly. The incident where Rib gave King George the Nazi salute, for example, wouldn't happen. I hope. .
  10. WI: Make Anatolians the craddle of European civilization

    I thought that the collapse of the Hittites had less to do with the Assyrians and more to do with the Kaska and other Kartvelian tribes pressuring them from the north as well as the Phrygian invasion? I guess I’ll go ahead and light the @John7755 يوحنا lamp here

    Then you just cement the rule of his cronies who were even more corrupt. I'd rather keep him out entirely and just have one of the other members of the "Big Six" come to power post-independence.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I would note that in 1973 (over bloody Christmas), the Royal Marines started training specifically to deal with such peacekeeping operations. They even got assorted amputees in to help with the simulation of bomb casualties. Remove the prosthetics, apply liberal amounts of blood, and you have...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    I’m having so much fun with Novisibirsk. First time I’ve ever just bought another nation, first time I’ve broken peoples hopes and dreams on the wheel of capitalism, and the first time RK Moscowien collapsed into warlordism.
  14. AHC: Earliest possible war between the USA and Japan

    With a 1900 POD, whens the earliest Japan and USA could have gone to war over a non-ASB scenario?

  16. Greeks also deported to the Levant during World War 1

    I don't know: I agree with @SealTheRealDeal that Syria proper seems the most likely destination, more specifically Damascus due to it's already fairly large Greek Christian community. Besides Greater Lebanon wouldn't be established until 1920 OTL, depending on how significant the influx is it...
  17. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Judging from the World Map, it's probably China and the United States.

    Another way is to have him assassinated before he starts displaying authoritarian tendencies. An assassination tends to make people gloss over the historical record of leaders, and can easily be blamed on the "dreaded colonialist leaders"...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    A classic example of no good deed goes unpunished. Which was more unpleasant for the soldier Northern Ireland or Afghanistan?
  20. Resetting the NBA Back to 1980

    The NBA. One of the biggest sports leagues in the world. Best known for players such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan. But what if we could go back in time, before any of those players became who they are, and completely changed the surface of sports. So with that, I...
