  1. Emerald of The Equator: An Indonesian TL
    Threadmarks: The Man who would be Greater Part 1: Toba Hostage

    Toba Hostage and the Kismayo Crisis The capture of an Indonesian-registered Cargo Ship Toba has caused an extensive crisis for the remainder of the 1980s. Consequently, this event may spark the shenanigans that would continue to burn in Africa for decades. Also, being the targeted nation...

    Is it possible for the balkans to keep romance speaking under a Byzantine Empire able to repeal slavic invasions?

    If there were no Muslim conquests, Roman Empire would have greater control over the Balkan peninsula.. Slavic migrations would still happen but they would probably be assimilated in time.. I don't see Romance speaking Balkans though.. With a strong 7th-8th Roman Empire there would be greater...
  3. Truth of collapse of Germany in WW1

    The immediate cause was defeat in the field in the Hundred Days, but as noted that was driven by a multitude of factors.
  4. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    it stands for "fixed it for you" at least in polite company the whole point of this thread is to have the us and uk decide on a common cartridge scheme for their new small arms. that includes everything from pistols up to mmg's. not standardizing on an mg round basicly renders the thread moot...

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

    I can't answer for how the Great British public of the period or the Powers That Be in Westminster might react. I'll leave that to others more qualified than myself. I can answer for what the British troops of the period thought. They'd gone in to protect the Catholic minority; pretty much...

    The Post-Apocalyptic Picture Thread

    It's so apocalyptic it's not the Golden Gate Bridge anymore.
  7. How would Native societies develop if they had horses and camels?

    Having domestic animals is irrelevant to acquiring ocean going technology. The Polynesians colonised the Pacific islands without a single cow, buffalo, yak etc in sight.

  9. Bronze Age comics PODs

    What if The Night Gwen Stacy Died was instead... The Night Aunt May Died? For context: The idea of the story was that a loved one was going to get killed, and originally Gerry Conway's choice was Aunt May. This was vetoed, and thus it ended up becoming Gwen Stacy. But what would be the...
  10. Feeble Constitution - A Red-and-Green Russia 1917 Timeline

    Makes sense, yeah. For sure. Tutankhamon's tomb was opened in November 1922, after all. If Mr. Lawrence is in Egypt, he could even end up joining Carter and Carnarvon's expedition. IOTL, the duo had been in Egypt since 1917, meaning that they likely survived the butterfly effect. One other...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    A Revised Version of a tree I did earlier in this thread: King Edward V "The Fortunate" of England [1] (1453-1511) M. Elizabeth of York (1466-1523), had issue 1. King Henry VII of England (1483-1548) M. Margaret of Austria (1480-1540) [2] 1 A). King Lionel of England [3] (1500-1563) M...
  12. What could have been some alternate Cradles of Civilization?

    Once the farmers from the Near East start flooding out into Europe they are going to quickly overrun the natives for the Danube, as they did in OTL. The Po valley and Rhone would and did take a bit longer, but became doomed. For an alternative civilisation to get off the ground having suitable...

    The (Global) South Rises: Collaborative TL

    That may certainly be true, but the idea is to avoid the cliches and tropes, wherein somehow a Soviet-dominated world, an American-Japanese cyberpunk dystopia, and even British space-faring empire is possible, but somehow a Southern Hemisphere that is even slightly more unified, is ASB. It may...

    Napoleon 2nd in 1830?

    @Basileus_Komnenos started a timeline with this premise in mind: Imperator Francorum: A Napoleon II Timeline
  16. Belgium Partitioned, What Happens to the Congo?

    Few years ago, I read somewhere that after WWII there were attempts to introduce Dutch language in the Congo in a way to appease Flemish feelings back home, as they were growing more assertive and challenging the Francophone dominance. Maybe some forumer could tell us more about it.
  17. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    No doubt there will be a whole bunch of senators and congress persons and politicians who share this vision, and come re-election time that will be rather highlighted.
  18. 1933 RLM heavy fighter split into a long range fighter and an AT CAS plane

    1-engined: easiest might be to do a Bf 109 with a wing of greater span and area (perhaps via installing the wing plugs like it was done on the 109H but not as wide, or by using the wing from 109T as base), eight MG 17s (vs. 2 MG 17s carried by 109B), DB 600C engine while waiting for the DB 601A...
  19. Belgium Partitioned, What Happens to the Congo?

    Breathtaking attempt at deflection there. ABIR was only one of nine concessions. Whilst the method of gathering rubber was set up when it's majority shareholders were British, the vast majority of the deaths and mutilations occurred after Belgians had full control due mainly to the increasing...
  20. Napoleon 2nd in 1830?

    True, but he would be more useful in France as an ally of Austria. In any case, he'd marry Louise of Orleans bringing the Orleanists and Bonapartists together, while ensuring that the Bourbons are never restored again (this is the main point of the thread).
