  1. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Roman Revenge will be a saying TTL. First in Germany and now to the Ottomans. And before all that was the sack of Rome.

    Q-Bam Historical Map Thread

    That’s what I thought you meant, if you mean the one directly south of it Making up the bulk of modern SL, that’s the Koya-Temne Kingdom.
  3. "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Actually in 1972 the U.S. could do exactly that. The U.S. was just about 100% out of Vietnam (pulled around 400,000 combat troops out of country in 1971-72) many of theose troops were still completing their two year (in the case of the Marine Corps 3 year) enlistments. Not only could the U.S...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline
    Threadmarks: Appendix E: April 1527, Trapezous

    Why the hell didn't anyone tell me that LIV was titled 'Opening Shits'? April 1527, Trapezous David sloshed the wine in his cup, staring out from the palace window. The vista was beautiful, the tree-covered hills of the surrounding valleys burnished light shades of orange and pink by the...
  5. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    The Detroit Arsenal was one of the largest tank factories in the world and was established in 1940. It was completed in 1941 and tanks were rolling out of it before it was completed.

  7. WI: Kennedy choses Al Gore Sr. as his running mate instead of LBJ?

    Gore would be attractive in some ways - particularly his skepticism about Vietnam! Difficult in others. Gore Sr. was a supporter of civil rights but someone who whiffed on it under pressure (as seen in his vote against the Civil Rights Act under political pressure) - so you probably get...

    WI: Ronald Reagan Puts Anthrax in US Illegal Drug Supply

    He was acquitted from the charges BY THE SENATE just for 1 vote. But it is true that he was the first US president to be in an impeachment trial.

    Threadmarks: Setraland: Introduction and Government

    The Kingdom of Setraland The oldest, and perhaps most powerful, Christian realm in Talbeah, Setraland is a descendant of Saint Brendan’s original voyage across the Atlantic to the “Isle of the Blessed.” However, as the name Setraland itself might suggest, it is not a direct descendant. The...
  10. WI: No Arab and Transatlantic Slave Trades

    I never contested that. No, it isn't. Trading posts might work for a while, but the Brazilwood trade was very profitable, so much so that corsairs were a thing that Portuguese ships regularly had to deal with, a French corsair expedition is the whole reason Rio de Janeiro was founded...
  11. When was the earliest plausible timeframe for electric vehicles to attain relatively widespread use in a major country?

    I would say the 2000s, if we're ignoring early EVs that were likely to be outpaced by ICE cars. OTL, this decade was bracketed by the General Motors EV1 and the Tesla Roadster which, while not seriously competitive with ICE vehicles as a mass-market car, showed that the concept had a lot of...

    The World of Saint Brendan: A Guide

    Hail and well met. I hear tell that you have been asking after the Lands Westward, across the great Atlantic. Perhaps you’ve heard legends of the Sugar-Kings and their wealth; or mayhap you sit enraptured as the deeds of great Asgardian sailors are related in taverns. So now, you come to me to...
  13. Why was Hitler so charismatic?

    I would quibble with the argument that Trotsky wasn't an able or a hard working administrator- Lenin's Testament basically pointed to him liking the administrative aspect of his postings rather too much, so I don't think Stalin was really unique in that regard.
  14. Who was better in a fight? Cossacks or Janissaries? (TL Research)

    Description is more than a little bit strange: while the Janissary were an infantry, the Cossacks (*) had cavalry and infantry. Then, the Janissary rarely fought alone so in confrontation they’d probably have Sipahi and/or Tatar cavalry. (*) The only OTL Cossacks seemingly relevant to your...
  15. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Nice timeline, I have only a nitpick, forgive me of someone already asked about it: regents do not take a regnal number, Archduke Maximillian would not be Maximillian IV, nor ge wouldbe addressed as emperor; He would be called His Imperial Hightness Archduke Maximillian, Regent of the Austrian...

    Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

    Blackadder I has the death of Richard III but Henry Tudor does not immediately take over. This would place the events of the first Blackadder season in 1485. So the War in the Roses would be covered first with Richard III having Richard IV as her heir and he having two children, one of which is...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Rhee is still in power - they had an election a little after the war where Rhee banned any left-wing parties from running, so he was basically guaranteed to win. Since then Korea has been focusing on rebuilding and killing communists as part of a new purge ordered by Rhee. "To protect the...

    Did the Trail of Tears occur in a similar fashion or at all?
  19. AHC: State-owned enterprises more widely accepted in USA

    Probably not...it's not like Springfield Arsenal was a wonderful land of brilliant decisions (M14). It's more that inefficiency, procurement problems, "and stuff" can create an incentive for something new to be tried, whereas in the '50s the private contractors were working basically fine and so...
