  1. London Thinks Big

    Biota! - A proposal for a huge aquarium to be built next to the Millennium Mills at the Docklands in East London. Although the aquarium was due to be completed in 2007, the project had already slipped a bit when the 2007/8 global financial crash took place and faced with a recession it was...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    NVM, Henry IV excluded them through letter patents which aren’t as binding legally as Acts of parliament and don’t have to be followed by his successors.
  3. Alternate warships of nations

    Actually the armor on the New Orleans class was not enough to protect them at Guadalcanal, where three of the class were shot up by 203mm shellfire mostly, and a few torpedoes as well. As such the class was armored better then and more extensively then preceding classes but still insufficient to...
  4. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    That's still too broad, as I explained.

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    It’s true. I’ve read that Richard II’s act went to parliament and got passed. By adding the exclusion of the Beauforts to it Henry needed to send it back to Parliament for approval. Most evidence points to that not happening.

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Thank you :) The problem is with the meaning of Feng - which just means "To Receive". Tian also doesn't quite work, because that means just means "Heaven/The Mandate of Heaven", and calling your dynasty Heaven is a step too far when considering the political message Zhang Zuolin is trying to...
  8. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    Because I would argue that the East sealed itself off top-down from the West. But Western hostile response to the East was an interaction of top-down government policies and bottom-up reactions against Soviet communism. Anti-Soviet, and that was at this time: anti-Stalinist sentiment ran deep...
  9. Alexander II, Alexander III and Alexander of Battenberg and more killed in 1880 explosion?

    The best scenario here is a liberal regent with good advisors for economics. Hopefully he can kill two birds with a stone, resolve Russia economic problems and steer its politics towards a constitutional monarchy.
  10. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    If the Eastern model had had way more soft power, then the tendencies in the West in the 1960s and 1970s would have been even stronger. Thing is, how do you get public opinion in the West to drift away very fast and very far from the East (i.e. get the Cold War started in the first place) in the...
  11. How much different would cancelling operation Barbarossa make on WW2

    I don't. :winkytongue: note the the premise is, basically, "no Barbarossa in 1941" But, seriously: if the UK is defeated/forced into armistice in the 1940/42 bracket, by a full comitement to a air/sub blockade, then maybe Germany then either focus on the economy or decides to "deal with the...
  12. What If James B. Weaver won the 1892 election?

    Hmmm, perhaps Cleavland has a stroke and his voters move to Weaver?

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Henry IV’s act’s legality is disputed. Richard’s act went through parliament, Henry’s didn’t.
  14. A Carthage Scenario TL discussion?

    Hello, Mods, please move this to the appropriate forum as you see fit, I'm posting this here as I think this might be the thread forum? I've posted this in the writer's forum, but it seems that is more for finishing timelines as of such. Please do correct me if I get anything wrong! I am...
  15. No 1991 August Coup

    Adam Ulam wrote in *Understanding the Cold War: A Historian's Personal Reflections,* "One must agree with the hapless [August] conspirators on one thing: there was no earthly chance that the proposed new constitution could hold the country together. It was at once vague and too specific, vague...

    Map Thread XX

    The criticism I would make in your scenario would be to think that Saxony and Bavaria could form a United Kingdom at that time. They have nothing in common that could form a Union so easily, the religion as well as the royal dynasties ruling there are not the same to begin with. There could be...
  17. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    I have no idea about metallurgy and engineering to ascertain which artillery pieces are easier to manufacture. But mortars seem to be easy to manufacture. The yugoslav arsenal at Kragujevac was building 81mm mortars under license. As I see it, the problem would be for Krupp or another german...

    A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Happy Birthday! And so, new dnasty claims the mandate of heaven. We shall see whether it will last, though with its reclamation of several concessions and pro-modernizing position, it is already acting much better then the late Qing. And it is kinda hilarious to have the Japanese loyalists...
  19. A Day in July: An Early 20th Century Timeline

    Might I suggest 大奉 (Great Feng) or just Feng for short as a name that continues the precedent set by the Yuan Dynasty while still having connections to both the city/clique of Fengtien and the connotations of following the will of Heaven?
