  1. The good ending, or at least a mediocre one

    One thing that I'm absolutely certain of is that the World Wars need to be prevented. The global economy was becoming increasingly interconnected prior to WW1 and had this been allowed to continue a major armed conflict between world powers would have become economically undesirable. And...
  2. AHC: better Italian economy post unification

    The Two Sicilies was a mess at the time of the unification basically on the verge to be what we will call today a failed state all thanks to the the Bourboun administration, more than any fabled Savoyard robbery for cover the debt it was the fact that suddenly a very backward economy like the...
  3. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    @Dark Angel Gotta say I like the descriptive narration style. Definitely adds a lot of panache to the story.

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    For some definition of France that includes a surviving Frankish Kingdom/Carolingian Empire, perhaps Metz or Aachen?
  5. Count of Crisco

    A History of Alyska to the year 1800.
    Threadmarks: Ch.04.05 Northern Storm, part two

    News of the Tlingit invasion was slow to reach the larger city states in the south. While the northern cities knew almost immediately that they were being threatened the state of Japanese politics at the time, and the lingering aftermath of the Onin war meant that most of the Diamyo in the...
  6. WI: Iraq invades Saudi Arabia?

    Right. Saddam probably thought the West could live with the taking of little Kuwait and might intervene only if Iraq marched on KSA. That was naive; the truth in fact may have been the opposite. If Iraq was determined to hold Kuwait, come what may, it should've tried to seize enough of the...
  7. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, if a film should be made based on the show, I hope it's relatively the same as Down Under.

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Wasn't Vichy also the capital for a short while?

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    See if the invitation worked
  12. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    No, but its not as if that would change the numbers a whole lot. My headcanon involves the US collapsing at the same time as the OTL USSR, and that doesn't do wonders for population growth.
  13. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    It's entirely possible, I'd say probable even, that one of the early Essex classes would have been renamed if she'd been a CTL. The USN did it with just about every other carrier they lost after all.

    Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    Unfinished Sympathy: Robert Kilroy-Silk’s Britain Ian Gow wasn’t an unpopular Prime Minister by any stretch, but his party certainly was. The Privatisations in some sectors had gone well but in others, mistakes had occurred. The Conservatives weren’t fond of the idea of getting back into the...
