  1. What if Tyler's Naitonal Exchequer Plan adopted?

    It would have been a rather interesting development, that's for sure. One can imagine the alternate timeline wherein Tyler goes to Clay and asks him for the three names to be appointed to the board...

    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown

    That's in line with what I'm thinking yes.
  3. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Never seen it but read the reviews and yes it sounds even worse. It upped the Burton nonsense up to 11. Catwoman is a perfectly sane cat burglar who grew up in an orphanage that loves cats . I see no real reason to change that .

    Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    My point was that far from being unimpressive by modern standards, those numbers are right on track with the biggest party in modern Germany. The CDU is Merkel's party, and for comparison when she became Chancellor her party had gotten 35% of the vote. Its completely misleading to show just...
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I kind of feel like Jordan Belfort should start a studio ITTL. Would it be possible for the studio to be named something like Spyglass Entertainment, Hollywood Pictures, DreamWorks, or Belfort Entertainment Group?
  6. DBWI: Cuba becomes Communist

    The cold war was basically the entire world dumping 100 litres of gasoline a day into a gigantic field, what you're proposing is basically making the nations use napalm in said field.

    DBWI: Cuba becomes Communist

    It depends how, if its a guerilla style action and the leader plays his cards right then he can turn any US intervention into a boodbath. Cuba of the 1950s, heck even now, is a shithole because of its corrupt government and its US backers, this isn't too hard to see happening.
  8. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    I personally feel critiques of the book from economists like Richard Pares and Stanley Engerman, who note that the capital generated by slavery for Britain was a tiny part of the British economy, disprove the thesis that slavery caused industrialisation. Additionally, most of that profit was...

    DBWI: Cuba becomes Communist

    USA crushes any Communist uprising. USA isn’t going to let any nation in it’s continent become Communist, let alone a former colony.

    DBWI: Cuba becomes Communist

    So I've been looking into this guy's name, Fidel Castro. He was a communist book writer in Cuba, calling for an establishment of communist government there. So what if Cuba became communist?
  12. The Sons of Semiramis - A house of Folkung Kalmar Union

    hm, it would suck for the league if say... the danish nobles all of a sudden... revolted as a response certain events...
  13. WI: Ronald Reagan Puts Anthrax in US Illegal Drug Supply

    I think that would be a direct violation of the Geneva Convention. The UN would have a field day with it.

    When was the earliest plausible timeframe for electric vehicles to attain relatively widespread use in a major country?

    Right now we are approaching a tipping point where battery EVs can, at least in some of the rich countries, expand out of a novelty role in the market of road-based transport like buses and automobiles. But could this point have been reached sooner? I say 'major country' in order to discount...
  15. WI: Ronald Reagan Puts Anthrax in US Illegal Drug Supply

    Suddenly, Richard Nixon would look like a decent president to a lot of people...
  16. WI/AHC: Independent European Colonization

    I think space colonization might work that way someday, but as it was in OTL, it was European states that controlled sufficient wealth and sufficient fleets. Some colonial ventures were private to an extent; typically the monarch or his relations were among those invested.
  17. WI: Ronald Reagan Puts Anthrax in US Illegal Drug Supply

    That's fair, all of that is pretty reasonable!

    These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Does the United States ITTL have a National Park Service or National Parks? Was Theodore Roosevelt relevant at all ITTL? Was there a conservationist movement in the late 1800s?
