  1. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    He is the only son of the elder brother and is richer than his uncle who has many children
  2. Comte de Dordogne

    Exploration without Christianity

    Unfortunately this is still a very broad topic. I think you are not yet aware of the time and space scales involved in your scenario. Visigothic Spain does not appear until the 5th century A.J.C. (Besides, without Jesus there is a good chance that there would not be a Visigothic Spain). In 500...
  3. AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Richard’s act followed English common law. He simply do not specified what were said dignities. If under the English (common) law the Crown was excluded, then Henry IV simply made explicit something who Richard II had not believed necessary to say. If the Beaufort’s had rights to the Crown under...
  4. For Want of An Extra Ship

    This is one of the most interesting TL premise I've seen in a while. Keep up with the good work and may the writer's block never befall on you.
  5. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    That may be true. And if it is true, it doesn't contradict my assertion that no Swedish iron ore would not have been the disaster for Germany that it's made out to be. And I'm not convinced that it is true because Germany's own iron ore was of low quality and that didn't stop Goering developing...
  6. Comte de Dordogne

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    This is the most fun in a timeline. I think it's a shame to redraw the borders of only a few countries when all the others can also be altered. 🙂 The absence of Brandenburg-Prussia will have many consequences in history. Yes ! I think I'll even be able to write the next chapter soon, even...
  7. Exploration without Christianity

    Look at rl examples of 'Conquistidors' where religion wasn't involved. For example, Julius Caesar and William the Conquerer.
  8. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    I think this not only overlooks human nature but the fact she has already in the last few years shifted some duties over to Charles, so they idea that she simply would not do it under any circumstance other than mental deficiency creeping in is a weak argument.
  9. Shahrasayr

    AHC: No Zoroastrianism (POD of 600 BC)

    ...the arguments of Mary Boyce to some extent and I'd also argue that there was no triad during the pre-Zoroastrian times. I don't think the PII *Hā́pam nápāts was a unique deity like Apąm Napāt/Ahura Bərəzaitī, acting more along the lines of an epithet that reconciles the closely tied dichotomy...
  10. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    The Queen places her Duty above everything, it's the basis of her life and what she was taught basically from birth. She'll keep on until she's carried out in a box (or until her mental faculties completely disintegrate) because that's how she was raised.
  11. WI: The western or eastern roman empire remains fully pagan and the other become fully christian

    What would their relations be like? What consequences would it have? When the muslims arrive (If the are not butterfly away) the western and eastern will see them as a common threat or like a potential ally against each other?
  12. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Because she's a human and may not feel the need to keep going with her duties without her companion of the last 70+ years. Does that really need to be spelled out? It's not like her stepping aside is without precedent, it has been done by other royal families in Europe within the last decade.
  13. Gokbay

    What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    OP already explained their definition:
  14. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    could thud have been an overseas export success too ? FRG, Canada, Philippines, Australia ?
  15. Dan

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    American pilots who flew in BoB did so as individuals in Canadian Squadrons. The Eagle Squadrons, named after the obviously American Canadian symbol weren't formed until Sept 1940. Eagle Squadrons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons?wprov=sfla1
  16. Horse mounted infantry for COIN

    Could we see more Dragoon style horse mounted infantry for COIN operations in late 20th century[post ww2] ? Esp those in areas where logistics/terrain is tough like marshes, jungles, deserts, mountains etc
  17. Imperial Cult remains Rome's official Religion

    I'd be interested to see how much strength the cult of Dea Roma could get- iirc, the heart of her support was in the east as well, and she was worshipped as part of the imperial cult anyway, just as subordinate to the emperor. Maybe as the emperor is demoted to a manifestation of Sol Invictus...
  18. The Second Viking Age [A Late Medieval TL]

    Scandinavian America? Yay!!!
  19. What would it take to get the Soviet Union to " win" the Cold War?

    one aspect be having a china closed allied to ussr throughout the cold war genuinely neutral japan and germany [ not armed to the teeth anticommunist states like they were OTL]
  20. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    Why? The reason why she ploughs on has nothing to do with Prince Philip, so why would his death change that? She will reign until she dies because that is the basis of her Coronation oath.
