  1. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    I just can't see Taft winning in 1948. See https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/could-taft-beat-truman-in-1948.441149/#post-16840071 for a long list of reasons, the most important of which IMO is that he would be almost certain to lose New York. Dewey just barely carried it in spite...
  2. AHC: Female Politburo

    Making Kollontai put down Kronstadt would be typical. They made Dzhershinsky set up the security apparatus because he spoke and voted against it.
  3. AHC: Royal/Imperial US President

    Charles Joseph Bonaparte seems a good candidate. Born in the US, rose all the way to two Cabinet positions.

    Threadmarks: Tudor Rose over Britannia Chapter 9

    Spring 1518 Elizabeth stood proudly as her son arrived at Calais straight from Ireland. From what she was told, he had proved himself to be a mature and able Lord Lieutenant, as well as a competent leader of men. Henry and Eleanor had just celebrated the birth of another son, the future Duke of...
  6. American Conservatism without Goldwater and Reagan

    What Johnrankins said. This POD goes back to before these peoples’ GRANDPARENTS were born, literally ten years before Reagan’s moved to Illinois. What do you think the odds are that the relevant family members get conceived in the same way (with the same sperm hitting the egg) as IOTL across...

  8. WI: Ronald Reagan Puts Anthrax in US Illegal Drug Supply

    Only @Alias_The_J could say for sure, but I have some ideas: 1.) Reagan is widely associated with the War on Drugs. Nixon started it, but Reagan amped it up and made it a higher priority than his immediate predecessors. 2.) Allegations of CIA involvement in cocaine trafficking, which in more...

    Germany goes East in 1914 - French Munitions Production?

    everyone had shell shortages, no-one imagining how many shells and cartridges were to be needed for continued high intensity modern combat 2nd, near all of the French Industrial Military complex was around Paris and SE France. Losing NE France was bad for iron and coal production, but...

    In fairness, the German Empire was comprised of several constituent kingdoms (Bavaria, Saxony, etc) with high levels of autonomy, so it doesn't necessarily imply that. The butterflies may not agree though...

    Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    I'm reminded of Lord Palmerston's quote about the "Schleswig-Holstein Question": "Only three people have ever really understood the Schleswig-Holstein business—the Prince Consort, who is dead—a German professor, who has gone mad—and I, who have forgotten all about it."
  12. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    For that matter, I believe that I have a certain kind of bias. Like when I say, "Could Warren Buffett buy Sears so Sears doesn't decline as much." Now Sears declined as a result of several factors, including the rise of Internet retail, the decline of the Midwest/Rust Belt and of the American...

    Thank you! :) I can neither confirm nor deny a united Germany ;) I would love to see some of these Conroy ideas play out - might have to write a mini TL to post one of these days

    How would the Incan/Aztec Empire deal with European diseases without a successful European invasion

    I think the Aztec Empire is doomed. Once disease ravaged the land, and European adventurers start coming, all the tributaries are going to be at each other’s throats. Your going to need a Iconicclastic Conquerer that would forge a new society for a unified Mesoamerica
  16. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    Hmm. I might do a timeline on this, but the whole Constitutional Convention brinksmanship sounds like the brinksmanship attempts in "A More Perfect Union" (HeX) and "Jefferson's Anti-Slavery Crisis" (Me) despite those occurring at the Declaration of Independence/Continental Congress.

    "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    Regensburg is a possibility... was that the only time Nap was (mildly) wounded-in-action? I was thinking just a little bit later than that though. As to the successions, largely agree: Joseph gets France Yes, assuming that L'Aiglon is just in poor health and dies roughly as IOTL, without issue...
