  1. WI Alec Douglas-Home defeated Harold Wilson?

    There's a great TL about a Conservative government all through the 1960s (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-crowned-prime-minister.267121/) The immediate priorities for Douglas-Home are the balance of payments deficit, social liberalisation, and Rhodesia. Longer term - Vietnam...
  2. Best accidental president

    All hail Hamlin! Not only was he a genuine crusader against slavery from the very beginning, but he also advocated for abolishing the death penalty, was active in the temperance/prohibition movement, was one of the chief Woolheads that built the Republican super-machine in Maine that even now is...
  3. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    But what sends them north deeper into the wilderness and Canadian terriotory? And why do the British authorities allow a bunch of American settlers to set up shop there? Industrial development wasn't actively discouraged, it just was uncompetitive because the need simply wasn't there. The...

  5. 'Short .30' cartridges became mainstream in 1930s?

    The French wanted done with the 8mm lebel, it was rimmed and had a severe case taper which made magazine design a absolute pain. That is why they went to 7.5mm - a rimless relatively straight walled case which was intended to feed reliably from magazines. The real driving force, post war for...

  7. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    Although why was the city named Aspen and not after some local tribe? What about the city of Aspen's daily paper? As the daily paper in Spokane OTL, the Spokesman-Review was founded by the Cowles family, which started out of Chicago as shareholders in the Chicago Tribune. Depending on how the US...
  8. WI Saddam Hussein uses chemical weapons against coalition forces during the Gulf War?

    OK, let's assume a moderate response (ie tactical nukes used against RG positions). To make things easier, assume that Saddam only hit Coalition targets. The Gulf War ends with a Coalition occupation of Iraq. What does that look like, long-term? How does an ongoing occupation impact the US and...

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

    I did think the Falkland was a long shot. If it happened it would make life very difficult for the British with so much of the Army busy in Northern Ireland and some much cabinet time being spent on Northern Ireland. The British also have other vulnerable points like British Honduras or even...
  10. AHTL: British Carrier Strike

    Belfast should really have been scrapped after hitting that mine. It would probably have used less resources and taken less time to build a new ship from scratch.

    Threadmarks: 16. The Siege of Cádiz and the Third Invasion of Portugal (April 12 - September 10, 1810).

    16. The Siege of Cádiz and the Third Invasion of Portugal (April 12 - September 10, 1810). By April 1810, the French position in Spain had greatly improved: one of the three fronts, the Central one, had been crushed but for Cádiz; the Aragonese and Levante fronts were being slowly but surely...

    Thanks for the map, Red Arturoist! I'll see if I can come up with an additional nation.
  14. AHC: Make Canada more heavily populated

    The population bled south because industrial development was actively discouraged. The dominion government wanted English farm workers and nobody else, so if you wanted to do anything else with your life America was the place to go. (Nevermind that England did not have big surplus of farm...

    Map Thread XX

    Finished the legend for my River-border thing. I have some ideas on histories of some nations and some names for some of the subdivisions. Will later perhaps add more information. It is a very monarchist world. The Cossacks, (North) Russia, Romania, Holland, Arabia and various Chinese states...

    Quite right. I confused myself by checking the date of TTL Operation Judgement. Shows how bad the damage was for her to be out for 3 years.

    Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    You do realize that not all hypothetical socialist nations are guaranteed to be carbon copies of the Soviet Union right?
  19. Ottoman Empire embraces "Dualism"?

    Interestingly, Austria was not the only European state that some reformist elements looked to. In the early 1870s, Midhat Pasha (who is popularly known as the "father of Ottoman constitutionalism) and Halil Serif Pasha advanced a proposal to federalize the Ottoman Empire similar to the...
