  1. Sports What Ifs.

    Well, the best case I have heard, especially on here, has been Canada with the CFL taking a slight tilt towards league via taking the "play the ball" rule over the snap back and being early enough to butterfly the forward pass from being introduced. Add the non-forward pass West coast system...
  2. An Alternate 1989 NFL Draft

    NFL 1993 Final Standings AFC EAST 1. Buffalo: 11-5 Bounce-back season for the Bills after a year out of the playoffs. 2. Miami: 10-6 Marino's injury was a crusher, but they still got into the playoffs because of offensive depth (they signed Kosar after the Browns cut him in this world) 3...

    WI: The Simpsons was cancelled after 7 seasons

    In my opinion it should have been ended after 8 seasons. Throw in a movie and you have a pretty much perfect show.
  4. WI Hitler Wrote a More Readable Book Than Mein Kampf?

    WI someone told Hitler that mixing his autobiography with his political statements made for hard reading and convinced him to write a book totally focused on his political beliefs? Perhaps it could be called the "German Manifesto" or the "Nationalist Manifesto" or some other clear, concise name...
  5. WI: The Simpsons was cancelled after 7 seasons

    It would probably gain a cult-like status. There would be petitions to bring it back and a very loyal fan base who will claim it was taken too soon. Kind of like a more successful Firefly.
  6. AHC: Wank the US crack epidemic

    As it says on the tin. Make crack cocaine trafficking and use much more common in the United States than it is IOTL.
  7. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I think Trebizontine (Northeastern Anatolian) Greek is still the closest variant of Greek to ancient Greek. https://www.romeyka.org/ Despite being under Turkic control for over 500 years, the Romeyka language is still very linguistically close to ancient Greek. So it's awesome that this...
  8. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    I’ll just copy and paste the post I made the last time this came up: The Iraqi assault on Kuwait was extensively planned and prepped for, but no such planning was undertaken for invading Saudi Arabia. To do more than conduct shallow border raids, the Iraqis would have needed to pause and...
  9. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    When you are starving and in a corrupt country with bad infrastructure (which results in tons of flooding) it is.
  10. FRG withdraws from NATO

    I can only imagine the bemusement in the Soviets face as they watch the Americans weaken themselves by tossing away all of the political goodwill they had previously earned, not to mention hundreds of thousands of their own soldiers lives, in the war that would result from them trying to invade...
  11. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    Old East German joke: "Sir, your car is stuck on a piece of gum...."

    'Sanity options' for the Italian army, 1935-42

    The most sane thing? Realize that Italy just isn't ready for War in 1940, and just live with The Mustache getting all the glory for defeating France in record time, while fishing for what kind of deal the British will go for, to stay neutral. Start asking for British Somaliland to be given over...
  13. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    "Old Fred" POD1: Caroline of Ansbach and her husband George, Prince of Wales (future George II) fell ill with smallbox but both recovered. With the death of Prince George, Princess Sophia becomes heir apparent. Already wed to the future King Frederick William I of Prussia, their firstborn son...
  14. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    He was mid-century iconic. There was a joke circulating in Germany: David Ben Gurion and Moshe Dayan are sitting on the porch. "David, I'm bored. What do we do?" says Dayan. Ben Gurion ponders. then his face lights up. "I know. Let's have a war!" Dayan considers this unenthusiastically. "All...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Makes me wonder if this could even be considered a Commonwealth if the King is so centralized within Krakow/Warsaw and Lithuania's influence within Poland is much weaker and more vulnerable to Polonisation. In order words, the dream of a Polish Empire might actually be a reality in this timeline.

    Miscellaneous >1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    General Frederick Funston does not suffer a (fatal) heart attack on Feb 19, 1917. Perhaps he goes on to live till 1935. Does he get the AEF leadership role that went to John Pershing? He would have been on the very shortlist of candidates. If not that role, what role might he have occupied...
  17. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    There isn't any rationale for a substantially earlier invasion. By August US troops and fighter wings had arrived and were patrolling the border. Qatari troops had also deployed to Saudi after the invasion of Kuwait and participated in the battle IOTL. An UN Resolution had set the deadline for...
  18. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Finally, a strong Poland. The underdog of Europe finally gets its chance to shine and maybe continue to shine up to the 21st century
  19. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    They know that Edward the Confessor and the other Anglo-Saxon kings were real people and still don't count them, so even if they firmly believe in King Arthur's existence, they are not going to include him in the numbering. Arthur Tudor or Arthur of Brittany or any other Arthur would have been...
