  1. WI: South Africa remains Dutch

    The only way I see is for the British to found a colony in southern Africa for themselves (Natal is often suggested) and then beat the Dutch to those areas.

    Alternate History Idea: Kingdom of New France

    (Based off old threads I've made years ago, including this and this, and another dead thread I've read, this, and stuff on deviantart, like this and this. This idea is a bit unrealistic, but bear with me. I may make this part of a timeline) What if, the Americans were able to capture to Quebec...
  3. AH Timeline: The NHL-WHA merger: A different story

    Everyone's for sale so you'll see what happens. The Jets are probably the most likely to move, followed by the Capitals, Rockies and T-Birds.

    WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    Except in this case, gold was not necessarily needed. What would be much better is Spanish dollars, the pieces of eight that were the de facto currency throughout the Americas and which were made out of silver. Even a shite ton of copper coins would have helped, though Spanish dollars would...
  5. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Is it not just horses but also a case of, Pre WWI the round must have range from rifles as the rifle company does not have anything else (apart from officers swords and pistols) and without (many) MGs/LNGs, infantry guns, mortars, AT guns & RPGs etc they have nothing else so even if long range...

    Was Britain Right to Enter WWI?

    They had agreements with the various coastal Arab Tribes since the Napoleonic era, at the start of Empire. But the Foreign Office had a good chance to screw over the Hashemites, and took it, after the Ottomans were done. They thought 'Mission Accomplished' with getting the Arabs dependent on the...
  7. PC: Black POTCS

    Even freed black people?
  8. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    Not really. There had been movements before to move and the only reason New Deal spending was as high as it was when most of Congress wanted balanced budgets was due to the threats of social unrest which were a real threat. I've already mentioned examples in earlier post of changing capitals, DC...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    Actually the G-77 has been a formal alliance within the United Nations since 1964: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_77 And the Non-Aligned Movement has been around since 1961: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement And yes, they are "real" alliances...

  11. What if the FDR and Congress decided to build a new Capital during the depression?

    While true about Congress being against spending during that period, they did in fact have deficit spending to fund New Deal programs so it's not out of the realm of possibility to say, instead of having the WPA they put the money into a new capital. From sources I can find, the WPA spent about...
  12. PC: Black POTCS

    Yes and no. Race is a social construct and absent Jim Crow I'm not sure the same definition of being black would be in place. There was a sizable number of persons who identified as mixed-race on census forms until the early 20th century, when such a distinction no longer made a practical legal...
  13. The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    Economic groups did exist yes, but an attempt to make a formal alliance would not work
  14. Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Yes, apparently so. And a very devoted son who revered his parents.
  15. Trouble in Paradise - a Polish-Lithuanian civil war

    The losses of the Teutonic Order at the Battle of Grunwald means that they are not able to do anything. Between Poland and Lithuania, they will be no really a Civil War, it will be a war between the Poles and the Lithuanian for the control of some Ruthenian lands, but I doubt than east of the...

    No Collectivization in the Soviet Union

    While I did say 'Willingly' yes, Adam Smith's Invisible Hand was giving them the finger, after all. They were encouraged by the Gov. to buy more land and put that under cultivation, as the Entente was buying huge amounts of US crops, and prices per bushel were rising each year, while the new...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    And how about several regional blocs? As for the idea of "Global South", it actually does exist, and along the lines mentioned: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_77 Even the roles of China , with Mao Tse-tung and Zhou En-Lai...
