    Lafayette Dictatorship in 1830

    Well depending on the POD this is very much possible. In a future where Louis-Philippe and the Bourbons never reconcile, or say Louis-Philippe dies, his young sons would be his heirs. I don't think they'd be really bold enough to challenge the Bourbons to the throne. If say Charles X is a little...

    ...income from her lands? Can she marry again? Possibly have another child? I wish Queen Katherine a long and happy life. However Mary Talbot.... *sigh* you are not a nice person are you. I really hope baby No1/2 are twin girls just so George can laugh at you. Then another girl. Then a...

    On times of democracy this organization is feared, I wonder what it will do in times of tyranny. From CSS

    Deaths from Irish potatoe famine mitigated

    Britain doesn't lose it's colonies, so corn laws don't happen, and there is increased supply of grain, which means it is cheaper to import to Ireland. And perhaps increased presence of Maze in the Isles.
  8. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Not really. There are doubtless still lots of pagans and still lots of church/mosque visitors with household shrines. But in terms of power, converting to islam or christianity would be the first move of any ambitious person because of the doors it opens. A district with a pagan elite could I...

    The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Same here. It didn't click for me till I muttered it out loud - then my own groan.... Well played RanulfC :biggrin:
  10. WI: no Donation of Pepin

    Well first off, the Pope would definitely have a lot less power and the Holy Roman Emperor a lot more, so maybe some more of something like the Synod of Rome, and also, I feel like there would either be a lot less or a lot more anger against the Pope, and if it were the latter, which I feel is a...
  11. Why is Europe’s population (comparatively) low?

    Africa surpassing Europe in population is a relatively recent development and can be contributed to Europe being more developed and further along the demographic transition process. As for India and China, they were largely centered around rice, which provides much more calories per acre...

    Two world wars near the end of your demographic transition will do that to you.

    Naval developments in a world without nukes

    If there's no nuclear threat, then volume quantity carrier aviation remains as a premier power projector. Size/quantity is the yardstick. There would, of course, be increasingly sophisticated counter-measures developed to that prospect. Anti-ship missiles and earlier Phalanx counter-counter...
  14. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    Saffron is insanely labour intensive. There's no conceivable way it could pay for itself in the US. Not unless some develops a mechanical harvester...
  15. Russia vs Germany, WW2

    That is because the British Empire "surrendering" to Germany is pretty much ASB. There may be a white peace, that is plausible with enough pressure OTL with some changes to the timeline. Say the standard "no Churchill, and Halifax takes over" but Britain is not getting occupied, losing their...
  16. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    For a good minute I was trying to make sense of that as SS T-shirts.... And trying to figure out why that was a wank... Then I saw the <groan> and the sounds clicked.....
