  1. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    At least they got a referendum. Did northern Schleswig?
  2. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Normally I view that quote's use as one of the worst and most dangerous deformations of patriotism. Haven't seen it applied in this way before, but I suppose I hold with it.
  3. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs
    Threadmarks: Garvey

    Marcus Garvey: 1921-26 - The Radical The rise of Garvey to Liberian President is probably one of the most remarkable stories in modern African history if only for it's speed. In 1919, there's little indication that he had given Liberia any thought at all, two years later he was its president...
  4. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Two very different portrayals.
  5. The Professor

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    There wasn't really separate flags for the colonies OTL, and Coats of Arms weren't properly created until 1935. They were all of the type below: But with the purple shield here being different. Is that what you're after?
  6. Germany goes East in 1914 - French Munitions Production?

    Yeah it’s hard to imagine Germany remaining on the defensive in the West in 1915 when the French Army starts smacking it with a wave of new munitions and hefty attrition from Winter 1914-1915 onward. It’s demoralizing to be on the receiving end of ceaseless artillery even if your opponent...
  7. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Nixon can't run for a third term, but the GOP probably will win the election in 1976. Wonder who he'll pick as his heir apparent. Two domestic policy questions: 1) did Agnew resign like OTL? 2) considering the supreme court seat that went to Stevens in OTL, may I suggest Hiram Emory Widener...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I should note that I'm not *really* coming back from hiatus, I'm just posting whenever I get the time. Sorry for getting your hopes up.
  9. "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    What about the Battle of Regensburg as your POD? As far as successions go, they are easier than you think, at least initially. Joseph gets France Spain is evacuated, and Lucien's daughter Charlotte may marry Ferdinand. Westphalia, if they can hold it, stays with Jerome. OTL Nappy III gets Berg...
  10. Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    IIRC, Spain acquires Morocco ITTL, how exactly did this happen, as Spain never joined the war IOTL, nor do i recall them doing so here?
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    While I was on the topic, I wonder if Kodak could have fired their top management and replaced them with people that actually had the foresight to predict that this "digital camera" thing was going to be big.
  12. What if Robert Taft secured the republican nomination in 1948 and became president?

    In practice much of the New Deal was already gone by 1948 as the NRA was long dead, the PWA, WPA, and CCC had all been allowed to expire during World War 2, and the excesses of the Wagner Act had already been reigned in by the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. I've never heard that Taft had any real...

    NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: The Wilmot Proviso Passes

    Rather than be productive, I made these:
  14. AHC: Royal/Imperial US President

    Paul Ilyinsky would be the obvious one, even though he was born of a morganatic marriage and could not claim the imperial throne. He was Mayor of Palm Beach for ten years and is a US Citizen. Or if you move to one of his children, to make it even clearer with regards to citizenship and being...
  15. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    I was thinking of something on the lines of the Roman Republic between Marcus crassus, Pompeii Magnus and Julius Caesar. Only this time with Charles V, Francis the first and Henry VIII. However I do not believe this alliance would last for long as soon as the wars in Germany are over than they...
  16. What if the Anti-Party group had succeeded in overthrowing Khrushchev?

    Maybe? Though I think it is important to note that a big part of why those who get too close to newly-standing-up countries get bit is because they have been behaving badly. The Egyptians of all political stripes had excellent reasons to consider the British their enemies - like the 20ish...
  17. "Most Interesting Scenario To You" Redux Thread

    I agree that’s definitely the most likely outcome. But Like you said I wonder if it wouldn’t be quite so complete a dismantling of the Angevin Empire if someone just a bit better was in charge. I’m also curious if we get anythIng close to the Magna Carta without him

    2018 Presidential Election

    Who is the Mayor of New York in this timeline?
  19. AHC/WI: France as the first communist nation

    Could work with some weird Realpolitik logic like with Lenin. Although admittedly its unlikely if Bismarck has any say
  20. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?

    It is perfectly possible to plan for quality - if Japanese corporations can do it, there's no real reason why Soviet enterprises can't do it. It just requires a different sort of planning than backing peasants into factories as fast as possible. Of course, two major parts of what the Soviet...
