    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    And now more for the lulz a map (found at reddit) where they deliberately omitted the first letter of each state.
  2. What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    Scales in place of first husband? Maybe... Eleanor Beaufort would NOT bring any valuable dowry
  3. No Kriegsmarine cruisers or modern destroyers

    I'm in full agreement with the first sentence. The term destroyer screen aught to be self-explanatory. I also agree with the first half of the second sentence and half-agree that the loss of a destroyer was of little consequence. I half-agree because destroyers may be the pawns of naval...
  4. The Quarter-BAM project

    Progress on 1900.

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    Although to be fair, reading through Die Sappe, one of the German trench newspapers of WWI, it's fairly clear that by mid 1917, there was a lot of expressed hatred towards the Prussians. Saxons, in particular, felt they had more in common with the English (and, for some reason, especially the...

    Threadmarks: Miguel Lopez de Legaspi

    On 1565, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi will arrive and due to a scarcity of food provisions in Cebu, Lopez de Legaspi would transfer his capital to Panay town on the island of Panay where they were peacefully welcomed by the Confederacy of Madyaas. Subsequently, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi would...
  7. WI: Elisabeth II and his family die in 1947

    And if his eldest son dies before him like OTL, then his second son, Prince Richard, would be King currently. Wonder if he could restore the shine to name King Richard as King Richard IV
  8. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    At about 7.10 pm on 17 May 1884, three armed and masked Ulster Volunteers walked up to the house where Mrs Emily Elliott and her three children lived. They shot through the lock on the front door and went in. They shot dead Emily and her fourteen year old son Edward, with bullets to...
  9. What were the biggest tech and weapon mistakes and missed opportunities of Germany in ww2

    In 1929 Rudolf Kuhnhold of the German Navy Signals Research Division began work on an air 'echo sounder' and in 1933 was suggesting research on centimetric waves to detect aircraft and ships. He was using Phillips magnetrons and Yagi directional antenna with a 13cm wavelength. The experiments...
  10. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    I can understand the people not really being interested in being joined by foreign nations they know next to nothing about. It's quite risky in many ways and chances are that they see it as themselves having to pay for others. Otherwise, the constitution also is a very interesting one with...

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    It is interesting to observe that Sherman's honorific is included in the name of the page, which is, of course, not the case in our TL's Wikipedia. Does this Wikipedia have a different approach to honorifics, and if so, why? Also, is there any specific reason why Sherman did not die in 1891 as...

    Threadmarks: Chapter I - The Restoration of Denmark

    The 14th century was a tumultuous time in the Norse kingdoms, much as it was in all of Europe. Denmark had suffered a catastrophic first half of the century, with a disastrous succession of weak Kings leading to the entire kingdom being pawned off to the Counts of Holstein-Rendsburg by 1332, the...
  14. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    The main reason behind underwhelming performance during the Vietnam war was not really the lack of a gun, but rather insufficient WVR training that led to US pilots launching the missiles outside of the specified parameters. The Navy had much better results even though they never got a gun...

    AHC: The House of Beaufort ruling the Kingdom of England

    Richard II’s Act kind of implied they did have rights to the Crown though. Otherwise Henry IV would have no reason to add his amendment.

    What if Margaret Beaufort was born a boy?

    I think the Baroness Fitzwalter and Baroness Scales (both were born in the 1430s IIRC). Or Edmund could marry Eleanor Beaufort.

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

    ...struggle in Africa, and in particular high energy prices allowing the Soviet economy to do well without addressing their terrible shortcomings* made the leadership convinced that it was all a matter of time before the win came to them. The Cold War is effectively a (usually) peaceful...
  18. UAS militarily planes if no Vietnam war

    I have to disagree here. Supersonic transports are just too expensive to be practical. The Anglo/French Concord, and Russian T-144 were prestige money pits.
  19. Alternate first presidents?

    When does Washington cease to be the anticpated first POTUS? If it's before the Convention, then the Presidency may be a lot less powerful and more ceremonial than OTL's, if indeed it is not replaaced by a committee.
  20. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    I personally have no problem with the pacing, I get to enjoy the moments of calm before the storm.
