  1. Weekly Flag Challenge: Discussion & Entries

    Ah, my bad. For the record, not only did I NOT have a flag ready, I did not have a solid idea. I would not have made the initial cut-off and only barely made the extended deadline. But, I will post the flag in general. Thanks for the heads up.
  2. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond
    Threadmarks: Birmingham campaign, A Labour Leader in Washington, & The Battle of Puerto Inírida

    Birmingham campaign On April 3, 1963, a protest movement organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference began in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. The event saw a new wave of demonstrators join in with existing efforts to pressure local businesses and bring attention to integration...
  3. WI: Germany does not support Austria-Hungary in WWI?

    Austria would back down from attacking Serbia, they know they couldn't beat the Russians, much less the French if they joined. Germany would become isolated, I find it likely that France and Russia would be the aggressors sometime later than IRL. The Uk might interfere against France if the...
  4. Look to the West Volume VIII: The Bear and the Basilisk

    Given when the Pandoric War happened, that isn't especially surprising. For all that the Pandoric war was caused by a death of one person in some remote region, it was stumbled into much more accidentally than the net of alliances that spread WWI. The Black Twenties actually has two large...
  5. What if Canada, the Soviet Union and America was part of a confederal union?

    The only way it happens is communism successfully spreads to the US and Canada and since they have most of the world resources and economy they decide to form a communist world confederation to spread the revolution to the rest of the world. In this case it isn't just the Soviets, Canada, and...
  6. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    I know of a few pre-1803/1806 proposals, I'll try to whip something up if I have the time. If not I'll post it here. Most involved the annexation of the Empire's ecclesiastical states.
  7. Deaths from Irish potatoe famine mitigated

    Organize relocations from Ireland to the US faster than they happened IOTL and prioritize relocations from areas most affected first.
  8. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I don't feel bad for the French. They'll deserve it if they try for a second round of bitch-slapping. They spent 40 years burning for revenge they had no right to and failed miserably and they want to try again? Pah!
  9. Explain the AH Quote

    -Alleged quote by Zhu Guandao, the first man in space. After orbiting the Earth in Xinhai-1 Space Shuttle, Zhu returned to the atmosphere and landed in Chinese Tibet. The successful Chinese mission to put the first man in space is often considered the official end of the era of humiliation, as...
  10. Deaths from Irish potatoe famine mitigated

    As it says, how is it possible to change the death toll? Most sources say up to a million died, and another million forced to leave for someplace else. My first thought is the British use the Irish for labor in colonies around the world, instead of turning to labor from the Indian subcontinent...
  11. Ghastly Victories: The United States in the World Wars

    In keeping with the generals of the era though.
  12. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    I think that you mean bribes here, because I recall something about polygamy being abolished earlier. But I could be wrong of course. My memory sometimes is a bit of a sieve. And we do get to see the first issues with the power of the kings. There is the race to the bottom that won't help labour...

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    You two are the authors of my two all-time favourite timelines on the 1900s forum, so to me this is a textbook case of great minds thinking alike. Here's a toast to you both <3

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Your argument convinced me that Feng is workable as a dynastic title, so thank you for that - gave me a better grasp on what exactly might be meant with the name. I will definitely try to do so! Always great when lurkers come out of the woodworks, so your input is greatly appreciated. I went...
  15. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    You are using an ambulance chaser lawyer's material as evidence? It does actually (almost 40 years in the business as a Chemical Engineer and lately major projects manager) Which (as others have pointed out) is a gas storage facility. Oil storage facilities tend to be pumped and you don't get...

    Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    So no one got territory to keep from Mexico in the treaty? I were had thought the Republic of Guatemala gotten some lands for fighting in the war.
  17. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    IMVHO Give the British 0.270 cartridge a CETME style bullet and both the Rifle No9 and the FN FAL will really do the job. As FN did make a least a prototype bullpup version of the FAL it might be worth dropping the Rifle NO9 and just going for a mixture of different style FAL's. The Short...
  18. AHC - Boost production of Saffron spice outside of Iran

    restart production in the UK. Produced a large amount in the middle ages Saffron waldon is so named because it produced saffron
  19. Exploration without Christianity

    Since this brings about major religious changes I think I will give my spin on it. Christianity is an axial religion, and comparing it with the old world religions of Hellenism and Paganism, in general, brings about a clear winner. Axial religions (which include: Islam, Christianity...
  20. An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    Quick suggestion: maybe we should come up with some form of distinguishing the various democratic USAs for the Index, because right now there are three entries in Chapter 6 simply titled "United States of America", which can be confusing. My suggestion is the following (@rvbomally bc he's the...
