  1. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    Dred Scott did not say that states could not prohibit the holding of slaves, only that Congress (and presumably the territorial legislatures) could not prohbit slavery in the territories. Actually, even on territorial legislaltures' powers, it is not clear what the decision meant, as Potter...
  2. Map Thread XX

    China? (communist-in-name only, yes, but it's a dictatorship, no?)

    How would Kennedy, Khrushchev, and their governments be remembered if the CMC went hot?

    Rather, millions of Soviet people lived in authoritarian state where they had no input in how the affairs of their nation were run. And because their hot-headed leader, who was not accountable to the people in free and fair elections, started WWIII they should be blamed in this situation? It...
  4. Vainglory and death: Kurita continues
    Threadmarks: Thru ~1100

    1016 Like flies, the aircraft had gathered from the CVEs and the island airbases. Had the retreat been ordered they would have harrassed the Japanese by attacking the already hobbled heavy cruisers, but now they focused on the ships currently blowing apart the Saint Lo. Over thirty aircraft...

    Saratoga of the South: An Alternate History of America

    They're not enough TLs about the American Revolution. Glad to see this back! Idk what your plans are for the end of the war, but it would be interesting if the war ends in a slightly different shaped US. Maybe Britain is able to hold on to Florida or something. Anyway looking forward to it!

    Napoleon dies 1807, who takes power in France

    Per the succession law in 1804, the claim should pass 1st to Joseph and his legitimate male heirs (turns out he wouldn't have any), and 2ndly to Louis and his legitimate male line... illegitimate offspring were excluded, as were Nap's other brothers who had found ways of pissing him off :p

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    I think ASE is just phonetic rather than Dutch/German influence or anything.
  8. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Best thing about this? Larry Niven doesn't get a paycheck. He gets THREE paychecks, if Star Trek counts. Same. Without getting too graphic, lets just say I know too well what it was like to be in those kids shoes. You know what's worse? A lot of big names in the spec fiction community knew...

    When the Levee Broke: An Alternate Lincoln Assassination and Beyond

    It would be really cool to see a Stephen Douglas presidency in the future. I feel like his death in OTL was a real shame. The "Little Giant") could have perhaps remained an influential politician. Looking forward to where Douglas goes from here.
  10. AHC: Make "Byzantines" consider themselves Greek before 11th Century

    Most of not all sources describe them been Romans i mean you can still be a greek roman or an armenian roman an syrian noble etc but this case it's pointing out their region not what they consider themselves
  11. A Blank Map Thread

    Hi, i'm new! I was just wondering if someone can make somewhat detailed (rivers, borders) BAMS of south Asia and Europe with SOME subdivisions? or maybe give some tips on how i can do such a thing?

    If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    No. Just making more stuff does not give you a good logistics system. You need a major logistic organisation to coordinate production, transport and maintenance etc. America had good logistics because they were far from the areas of combat. If they did not have very good logistics they would not...
  13. Napoleon dies 1807, who takes power in France

    I don't think any of the marshals could generate enough support on their own, but civil war is unlikely. I wouldn't be surprised if you get Republicanism come back in some form.

    Under wings of the Zilant: a Golden horde timeline

    You may want to threadmark your chapters. and while I don't have any knowledge about the era or the golden horde, I am nonetheless interested.
  15. Naval developments in a world without nukes

    Likely the Graybacks (& Tunny, too) carry something more like Harpoon than Regulus. As early as 1953? Well...

    What if the InterWar RCN was given the same portional funding as the RAN?

    An American design wouldn't happen.If it's being built to naval standards then buying them from the UK would occur.Anything built in Canada would be to commercial specs and preferably small enough to fit in the lachine canal so max 269 feet less a bit at either end.This gives room for a castle...
  17. AHC: Surviving Libyan Monarchy

    Petroleoum was suspected to be in Lybia since 1936, not so difficult anticipate its actual exploitment of a decade.
  18. AHC improve Italian Military and industry in interwar Period

    I'm not sure much can be done with Fascism damaging the economy. Foreign sales could help finance increased capacity but the economy also needs that hard currency just as the company needs profits. But breaking the oligopoly of Italy's industry has been one of my 'what ifs' for a while...
