  1. WI: Cao Cao dies at Red Cliffs

    What if Cao Cao died at the battle of Red Cliffs in 209 AD? Did he even have an appointed successor at that point in time?
  2. WI: Edward VI was killed by Thomas Seymour?

    On January 16, 1549, Thomas Seymour broke into the apartments of Edward VI. He made his way to the private garden outside the king's bedroom, wherein he awoke one of the king's spaniels. He shot the dog to stop its barking. Seymour was 1st baron Seymour of Sudeley and brother of both the late...
  3. 99 Red Winged Balloons: A hockey TL

    IRL, the wings had trouble against the minnesota north stars, who only had modano, bellows, an aging broten and a bunch of habs rejects on defense. Against this toronto team that is yet to reach its full potential, even without lindros (lindros comes in 92), i expect no different, even with...

    Texas Two-Step: Nixon nominates Connally as VP in 1973

    I hope you updating means your wife is doing better :). An epic part, feels like the big Act I closer and what a set-up for the rest of the timeline. President Connally is so exciting given his experience with LBJ and Nixon and his own wild machinations. Excited to see America’s new future...
  5. No 1991 August Coup

    I feel once the USSR transitions into a democratic entity that if they adopt a coalition system that whatever coalition acts as the functional succesor to Gorbachevs movment they would be made up of scandinavian style social democrats (gorbachov has had great things to say about them) and...
  6. Social perceptions of Vietnam without First Blood

    I think with Taxi Driver, it's easy to miss, or at least not have in the foreground of your mind, that Travis Bickle was in Vietnam. IIRC, the only direct reference to that war is a Viet Cong flag he has hanging in his apartment. Clearly, observant viewers will get the hint, but the rest of the...

    WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    It's German, sentences are supposed to last long enough you need a snack halfway through.

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

    Interesting thought.The RCN's brass had a lump in their pants for carriers,battleships and cruisers all thru the war so if they had their way that's where the money goes.Not happening.Politics.Spending could be justified as an economic recovery program which means most spending in Canada,this...
  9. Jesus is born Judith

    Have you ever noticed that the Bible explicitly says not to add anything to it? Surely this would preclude someone from creating a new holy book for the Christian religion. It would never be considered holy by the mere fact that it's an addition.
  10. If Nazi Germany had had industrial parity in WWII, would they have won?

    So is the question really, "were German tactics and strategies superior to those of the Allies?" In which case the answer is maybe. German tactics and strategies were tailored for a nation of limited industrial might.

    What if, in Southern Victory, the USA didn't end the Great War until all of the Confederacy and Canada were occupied?

    US is dealing with counterinsurgency for a while, but even without the late 19th/early 20th century economic slump of OTL, the South just doesn't have enough people who want to not be part of the union to make it impossible for the US to eat it. It's not going to be pretty--think Russia vs...

    As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Yes, there needs to be more baddies within this timeline since John K. is probably going to prison and Ted Bundy might not see success in his presidential candidacy, thankfully. I think Bernie Maddoff and Jeffrey Epstein are most likely to be long running villains but Harvey Weinstein could also...
  13. Images from Stupid Luck & Happenstance

    This is a thread for images from Stupid Luck & Happenstance.
  14. Jesus is born Judith

    Judith has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that she mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. But God found fault with the people and said: “The days are...

    What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    With only 2 deployed under end of war conditions and 10 postwar analyzed for what NOT to do and the rest scrapped, I think the data speaks as to the garbage the boats actually were. Even the French did not follow the type as a guide. They built differently and better.
  16. An Arthurian Empire of Britannia discussion

    I'm not sure that's helpful. Unlike yourself, I'm no professor, but I don't think anyone stumbled over to this board thinking that that this was makeitupaswegoalonghistory.com. Yes, which is obviously what the WI posits. It is in essence asking what if a figure of disputed historicity...

    The Winkel-Tripel BAM project

    This is amazing, thank you for making this!
  18. WI: Canada accepts Article Eleven and joins the United States?

    The potential loss of ALL of their mainland North American territory would probably make GB fight harder. Like, giving it their 110% usually reserved for wars with France level of effort.
  19. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    Yes, the whole being absolutely insane and violently emotional helped him with controlling a crowd, not so good for his writing ability.
