    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    What fricking idiot did that? The rest only has historical value but Franklin was honoured by the damn Royal Society!
  2. AHC: early 1900s anarchists notice that American mobsters often seen as Robin Hood figures — and go this route?

    From what I understand the Mafia in the 20th century US tended towards somewhat very stringently avoiding assasinating politicians, judges, DA's, cops, Feds, and the like. They realized that such actions tend to inherently create a lot of heat and piss off the governments enough to cause them to...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    She could marry Sigismund of Poland or Francis III of Brittany!
  4. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    In the S Pacific in 1942 the B17 bombardment group in Australia did have some success sinking ships stationary in harbors. Mostly at Rabaul. Their primary targets were shore installations & the docks, but docked & anchored ships were legitimate secondary targets. The count per raid was low...
  5. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    For gaul i think at max the byzantines would get parts of aquitaine and the coast and control of aquitaine would not be stable the death of Chlothar I would mean the franks would devided in 561
  6. Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    And since France is likely going to be a major power player here, I might focus on them (and also Britain) in 1793-1796 or so, and that may require some brainstorming by itself.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    And leaves young Catherine free to marry...
  8. Explain the AH Quote

    An Ottoman Air Force General in 1949 to a Turkish Nuclear Phyiscist. The latter had just completed a test of the first nuclear bomb (detonated deep in the sands of Libya) and the Grand Vizier, the effective ruler of the Ottoman Empire at the time, proposed to use another atomic bomb on Budapest...
  9. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    As I understand things both the "Real" IRA and Provos were politically somewhere between "Communist" and full out "Marxist" and envisioned their "Free Ireland" falling between Castro's Cuba and 1920 USSR on the economic/personal freedom scale (something that the overwhelming number of rather...
  10. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    Fair, but they *are* the political elite whom the Romans will have to either mollify, something religion may make more difficult, or reduce, something that requires time, money, and manpower.
  11. Dunkirk Disaster causes Spain and Soviet Union to join Axis.

    The Soviet invasion was in conjunction with the British. It's going to be quite a bit more difficult without British support . (For one thing a lot of the Iranian military at the time was pro-British and thus did not resist the invasion. That won't be the case if the Soviets are attacking...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Oh, I relish the idea of Richard Nixon putting J Edgar Hoover into his place as AG... All of a sudden, Ruthless Bobby seems like a less extreme idea.

    AHC: The world today looks like this 1962 prediction

    One positive note: nobody's texting and driving; either they don't have mobile phones, or the minicars have bluetooth built in.
  14. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    The Visigoths were only a small fraction of Hispania's population, and they'd probably convert sooner.
  15. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    Agriculture is still in the same boat of being labor intensive, in addition to being something that the Romans don't really need when they also have Egypt and perhaps Diocesan Africa. Meanwhile, the Visigoths didn't formally convert back to Orthodoxy until 589.
  16. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    To be clear I meant if you had Loyalists or Ulster forces crossing over into the Republic to attack say nationalist refugees or fleeing Republican groups, or even Irish Security forces. I’m in full agreement that DF units crossing into the North is “unwise and unlikely to end well for anyone”.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    True. Either way the POD allows there to be more Infantas for the son of Charles and Anne to marry!
  18. Alternate History Excercise: Create non-Abrahamic, Abrahamic Syncretic, Alternative Abrahamic Religions in Europe!

    So then, that leads me to the question: What sort of post 800AD events might lead to a breakdown of Church authority to an extent that the church in the British Isles becomes isolated from Rome? Pagan Vikings taking over northern France combined with Muslim incursions in southern France? A...
  19. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    First of all, I'd watch the shit out of that Timeline! and second I honestly don't think Slavs would be that much of an issue if the Danube border isn't denuded of all forces to fight the Sassanids and then the Arabs. Also, an Italy that isn't completely wrecked by the Gothic Wars would be much...
