  1. WI the Enterprise in Pearl Harbor?

    Losing a carrier would hurt.
  2. PrincessOfChina

    To the Victor, Go the Spoils

    This is great :)
  3. TL-191: After the End

    That more or less reflects how the alliance systems work in this world.
  4. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    Agreed, post-UAR Syria and Lebanon would almost certainly remain one country, a sort of Greater Syria. While Syrian elites might be initially happy with Nasser annexing Lebanon into the province of Syria it does nothing to address the problems with the UAR that the Syrians rebelled against...
  5. WI: no alphabet

    Well, at least we know "th" makes the sound that the sign thorn (þ) used to sound like. That's not great, but it's still better than some of the nonstandard orthography you see in some words. When you said "to be fair English does a fairly poor job even with its real Life alphabetic system" I...
  6. List of monarchs III

    Claim for Hawai'i list.
  7. Allan Nonymous

    Map Thread XX

    What surprises me is the lack of straight borders for the new states.
  8. The Second Viking Age [A Late Medieval TL]

    Pretty interesting, I must admit beside earlier colonization of America and by the Nordic countries, I’m not sure where this is going, I look forward to read this timeline.
  9. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    I'm surprised the US didn't annex any territory. I'd have expected them to demand at least Baja California given how perfect it's situated to facilitate blockading the Mexican West Coast or to interfere with such a one depending on who owns it.
  10. TL-191: After the End

    How would you rate race relations in your story? Do you think they are better or worse than OTL? I am assuming that there was no Civil Rights movement since what happened in the Confederacy makes people realize that discrimination isn't a good thing.
  11. WI: no alphabet

    For "island" I suppose interference with the similar (but unrelated) French word, also loaned into English, once spelled "isle" (Modern French spelling "île"). More generally, the problems with English orthography are manifold. English incorporates a large number of loanwords from many sources...
  12. WI: HRE Matthias has a son

    A King of the Romans of 7 or 9 years old is unlikely, I think; Ferdinand III son , in a particular situation, was elected at 13; I still see Ferdinand II being elected.
  13. AH Cultural Descriptions

    A game development company in Asgard, New Sweden (ATL Philadelphia) in 1992, known for its RPGs and Full-Motion Video. Among its staff is Manoj Shyamalan. Like a Mouse and Spider next to a Whale
  14. TL-191: After the End

    There isn’t a real ideological divide between the Austro-Hungarian/German-led EC and the US-led CDS. Traditional notions of great power rivalry are present in the post-SGW diplomatic relationship between these two blocs, but it is not a hostile rivalry, unlike the US-USSR Cold War in our world.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    To be fair compared to today the 1990s do seem repressive but 30 years earlier LGB people were arrested just for being gay and LGBTQ+ matters weren't even discussed privately outside of LGBTQ+ circles.
  16. Exploration without Christianity

    How would you describe otl's five centuries because when I tried looking at the history my eyes glazed over?
  17. Comte de Dordogne

    WI French capital isn't Paris

    Never heard of it. Do you have any sources?
  18. Mechadogzilla

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    An unified Ireland was impossible for most of its history. The land is rough and boggy, making conquest difficult and rebellion easy. Dublin wouldn’t be the primate city of the country until the 1600s, meaning the country’s population was decentralized and self sufficient. Most of the population...
  19. The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Yep!
  20. Explain the AH Quote

    Excerpt from The History of the Steppe. "The mighty people of Rus have survived disaster. We survived the Golden Horde. We survived the Time of Troubles. The Reich, despite being more savage than any other enemy, shall fall. The Fuhrer claimed his mighty nation would last 1,000 years. But that...
