  1. The Sons of Semiramis - A house of Folkung Kalmar Union

    This is understandable given how divergent events have become, and I’m excited to see where you take this idea next!
  2. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    Very interesting, do the Estonians end up protecting and preserving the Ingrians as a legitimate ethnic nation? Also after the first war, Estonia wanted Pskov and didn't get it. Presumably they would still want it? When you said they had pushed East that was my first thought.
  3. List of monarchs III

    What If ... the Principality of Waterloo was established in 1831 ... 1831 to 1854 : Arthur I (House of Waterloo) (1) (1) In 1815, Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, was created as Prince of Waterloo in the Dutch nobility and ceded 2600 acres of land (five times the size of Monaco)...
  4. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Gaunt is known to have peddled the legend, but its origins predate him and originated with the comital house of Lancaster. I think it can be traced back as far back as Thomas of Lancaster's rebellion against Edward II or perhaps from the cult that grew up around Thomas after his execution.

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

    Yikes....yikes all around. While the Soda Pop Club was busted and some of the perpetrators involved were caught, leading the passing of a child actor protections act, there really wasn't a happy ending. The harassment following their testimonies probably broke me the most, since they basically...
  6. Alternate Electoral Maps III

    It’s a very interesting concept, whilst the UK is to the left of the USA in policy terms I feel the map is slightly too blue but that’s personal preference. The UK would probably be devolved amongst historical kingdoms that her than the EU boundaries and other constituent nations. Northern...
  7. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    @material_boy: right. Henry IV used it simply for reinforcing his claim, who was more as descendant on Henry III from both his parents. And played on the same mix of male preference/blood proximity who both John used in England and Edward III for claiming France. Still I remember who someone...
  8. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    Played as Bryan on normal, got a good but not outstanding result, and look at this.
  9. Charles V of France dies at Poitiers

    This is very true

    When could an independent/unified Ireland happened?

    About 1016 IIRC. Brian Boru had more or less conquered and United all of Ireland, but he died not long after. Have him live 5-10 more years one could easily get a United Ireland.
  11. A 'smarter' NATO cartridge strategy 1950-1980?

    Yep.. From the US perspective I believe the move from the 30.06 to 7.62x51 made a reasonable amount of sense. I am not convinced it made as much sense for most other NATO nations to embrace the 7.62x51 as their new cartridge for their FN FAL's, G3's etc..
  12. Es Geloybte Aretz Continuation Thread

    In that sense, the situation of the Russian minority in Estonia and Ukraine ITTL is more like that of the Prussian Poles. But of course 'Russia' is not exactly a name people in those countries associate good things with
  13. Laughin' Place: Redefining Disney

    He is? Damn.......
  14. Charles V of France dies at Poitiers

    I think it's easy to underestimate how important Charles V was to their success. His Fabian strategy ran counter to the ideals of chivalry that dominated the age and a lesser man probably would have bowed to the pressure to meet the English on the field. Frenchmen desperately wanted to prove...
  15. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    That doesn't answer the question about how they survived 12 years or were able to manufacture even Panzer Is if they were so blithering incompetent as not know how to store fuel underground in salt domes! This doesn't take a team of PHDs to do.
  16. Lebanon joined the United Arab Republic?

    During the brief time Nasser's United Arab Republic existed, there was a movement in Lebanon that advocated for uniting with the UAR, but it was quashed in 1958 after the United States intevened in the country. WI Washington didn't listen to president Camille Chamoun's plea for assistance for...
  17. WI: Miami was a major airline destination

    Here's one way: have the OTL Great Miami Hurricane in 1926 hit West Palm Beach instead of Miami. Then, the 1928 Lake Okeechobee-West Palm Beach hurricane hits the same area...
  18. Explain the AH Quote

    An angry editorial at how the Russian monarchy did not sell the Alaska territory to the United States, but instead doing so the Mexican Empire, a constitutional monarchy ruled by the House of Iturbide. Mexico has had rough relations with the US, mainly for the latter's expansionist dreams...
  19. What if GB did a USA in WW1?

    What if, perhaps due to an earlier Home Rule for Ireland crisis, Great Britain declined to join in at the beginning of the First World War. What if, instead, she made a whole load of money from selling equipment and munitions as well as War Loans to her most favoured combatants, France and...
  20. Mackensen class battlecruisers in WW1

    Any guesstimates how much nickel and chromium U-boat construction used?
