  1. If Song China industrialized would Europe have remained a backwater?

    The fact that it didn't industrialize even while manufacturing a huge proportion of the world's goods through the whole medieval and early modern era tells me it's unlikely that medieval china will industrialize in the modern capitalist sense and we have modern technology hundreds of years...
  2. AHC: create an alternative linguistic remnant

    Canaries are just perfect for that. Far away from major centers of power Yet still close enough. Close to Britain and Ireland as well. Close to West Africa. On top of that there is one of only two sources of purple dye in the Mediterranean. Plus islands with small populations tend to be...
  3. AHC: create an alternative linguistic remnant

    Frankish immigrants in Israel and assimilated Catholic locals remaining after Muslim reconquest continue to speak a Romance based language instead of switching to Arabic. Point of divergence might be that the crusader state surrender quickly after a defeat, due to this their numbers, status and...

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Here's something I've been working on with @The_Most_Happy recently - a Royal family in a world where Victoria becomes Queen in 1820 and is raised by the Cambridges. Still a work in progress, but I may build a shorter TL around it someday... Queen Victoria (1819-1901) r.1820-1901) m 1838...

    Counterpoint: Poland, but stalin really hated the germans/poles, depending on your point of view
  7. AHC: create an alternative linguistic remnant

    The challenge is the easiest way to keep either of those languages alive is by keeping North African Christianity alive, and Latin Christianity being Latin Christianity, the Punic speakers will end up switching to the language closest to what they hear in church. Although it is possible that if...

    The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    "HEY GUKPA, THERE IS ANY SOCIALIST ELECTABLE IN BRAZIL IN CSS?" Yes my random member of this forum, there is, and such figure is Leonel Brizola, the one from the "varguism painted red" route! "BUT GUKPA! HOW MUCH OF A SOCIALIST LEONEL BRIZOLA IS?" HE WAS THE HONORARY PRESIDENT OF THE...

    AHC: Turkish Egypt instead of Anatolia

    It would probably be a coin-toss between Baghdad and Damascus.
  10. AHC: Turkish Egypt instead of Anatolia

    Where would the "center" of Arab culture move when Cairo is lost, if that model is even meaningful?

    Jesus is born Judith

    Judith would be akin to Andrastae is to the Maker is in Dragon Age. She would be seen as a martyr, a probability that Judith's origins be 100% human. Her cult would probably have her become divine on Pentecost.

    I think that these questions would be better answered in either the “Photos” or “Filling in the Gaps” threads.

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    If Lynch is counting on a sympathy vote then sending men with IEDs North loses it. Most Catholics do not live in countries with a lot of political power on the world stage. So not sure how much use it would be.

    WI: No AVGN

    There still would be channels like him for one main reason The AVGN was part of a wave from back then of freak out videos, like the psycho family. Soon any generic game reviewer will get inspiration from the freakout videos and we gonna get something similar to him.
  17. TL-191: After the End

    - No, Turtledove himself doesn’t exist in TTL. Spec fiction about the War of Secession are generally popular in the US, even if some of these works tend to have a wish fulfillment aspect to them. One example of a War of Secession-related spec fic from TTL is President McClellan, written by a...
  18. Senator Ramsey Clark?

    On the occassion of his death, let's remember that he twice ran for the US Senate in New York--in 1974 and 1976. Did he have a chance either year? (1) 1974--he fnished seven points behind Javits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_United_States_Senate_election_in_New_York Closing that gap...
