    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Not necessarily. Manuel might just have not been too selfish and left his son with the wife he was meant to have, dying a widower.
  2. A New Britain - A British Political TL (1995-)

    They're only losing the popular vote by usually around 3-4%, if the democrats had been in power for TWENTY YEARS, the GOP would easily win the popular vote, especially because its just downright ASB for there to be no recession and a continuous economic boom for that period of time. IOTL if...

    AU Fiction: CFL-USA - A different telling.

    Like to know more on Montreal's NBA team and the Washington greys
  4. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    Hm, IIRC the south of Hispania at least (the future center of Al-Andalus) had some good agriculture. Also, wasn't Arianism a very small minority at that point? Either way, I agree that the Visigothic aristocracy would play a very important part in a lasting Byzantine Iberia.
  5. WI: Crete Never Falls to the Nazis

    How much earlier than OTL could the RAF (or hypothetically USAF) hit Romania?
  6. Possible Alternate Jet engine pre-WWII

    Whittle gets the support (and the financial reward and recognition) he deserved in the 30s (the government backs his design and perhaps have Griffith - a pioneer of metallurgy and later Jet engine collaborator - collaborate more closely with Whittle in the 30s rather than be critical of his...

    WI: Crete Never Falls to the Nazis

    If i’m not mistaken, Britain failed to defend Crete well because they had wasted most of their divisions holding off the Germans at the Greek mainland prior. If they had only sent a smaller army to reinforce Crete and prepare it for housing the Greek government in exile while keeping the rest in...

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

    These Lynch's Lions would face more than just problems from the Insurrectionists; they would also face problems from the Loyalists who would oppose UDI but would not take kindly to IDF soldiers acting as terrorists in the North; and they would also face problems from the existing Republicans...
  9. What-if SMG for late 1930s and on

    Pistol rounds have a variety of issues at range. Probably the largest of them is simply the shape of the bullet which is all about maximizing mass of the bullet whle keeping the over length of the round (i.e. cartridge cast and bullet for fold who aren't gun fluent) to a reasonable length, this...
  10. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    Maybe Takei gets a ride on the shuttle and is nominated to the NASA Advisory Council like ex-Senator Bill Nelson instead of going to Congress
  11. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Thanks, didn't realise Hercules was that early but you'd still have the problem of the RAF getting first dabs on engines - the Skua flew originally with Mercury until the RAF said no, they're ours for Blenheim's and Blackburn had to use Perseus instead - and they'd likely pull that card for...
  12. WI: Crete Never Falls to the Nazis

    There no airfields on Crete capable of supporting heavy bombers. It would take a period of time of building up before bombing can threaten Ploesti. Ploesti is safe until after Barbarossa. It is not likely that butterflies from Crete holding would effect the launch of Barbarossa. The defensive...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    I also like the idea of Eleanor marrying John, unfortunately she was so beautiful, Manuel decided he wanted her for himself. This also mean's Maria is still alive too!
  14. Byzantines conquer most (or all) of Spain?

    At the technology level of the time, I honestly doubt it. The naval resources and investments needed to project power in the Mediterranean are fundamentally different from the North Atlantic. As for the OP, I can't imagine that it'll be much more than another commitment that isn't worth it for...
  15. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Unless you build a full-scale rocket factory on the Moon (and, given the way things are going in FaM, that can't be ruled out--aluminum smelting would be energy-intensive, but possible), it doesn't really make sense to do so--the common analogy is "going from Chicago to Los Angeles by way of...

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Exactly. Eleanor of Austria is one of my favs and I need her to be very happy, at least TTL.

    The Concert of Earth: A Multi-Polar 20th Century
    Threadmarks: Chapter XVII: The Flames Burn On

    ...Palace, they thought they were headed to a building captured by mutineers. They were not. Now, whether or not they figured out what had happened *before* Reyes and a small column of men marched towards the building's front door is debated by historians. Either way, he really should’ve figured...

    Southern Canada TLs

    So, I was rereading Glen's amazing Dominion of Southern America again and was wondering if anyone knew of any other TLs of a similar vein. I love reading about different Americas, especially ones where the British hold the American south. Thanks in advance.

    An Imperial Match: Anne Boleyn marries Charles V

    Just saw it (I think). Eleanor of Austria married John III of Portugal as she was meant to in OTL!
