    If Rome got rid of slavery would it have advanced more?

    In some ways, though, the Roman Empire at its height was a lot richer and more economically sophisticated than 15th century Europeans.
  2. WIP Map Thread

    @Gokbay well I have no problem with straight borders in deserts (there are plenty of them OTL), but why would somenone made a seoarate province or what is it, from the central australian desert? @Prometheus_2300 I cant say much, knowing just little about RA-verse, but that map looks good! I am...

    WI: Japan never modernizes

    I think it's more likely that someone (maybe Britain, they were the only ones with enough naval power) knocked on Japan's door, and for the same reason the US did OTL: it's just too good a position to be a stage on the northern Trans-Pacific route. On the other hand, a less impressive "knock on...

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Dammit- Nixon got in again. At least it was tight- maybe it will flip next time and turf him out...
  5. President Willie Mangum?

    I'm not sure he could've done much as president in either occasion, since in 1843 the House was already under the control of the Democrats (though he might help get Clay elected in 1844), and if he was somehow elected in 1836 then the Panic of '37 would blow up on his face.
  6. The Tudor Rose over Brittania

    Good points. At the same time, due to having battlefield experience, Henry might be a little more pragmatic about his dreams of conquest since he would have seen from Ireland that war is not a simple matter. I’m thinking that while Henry tries on a venture on France and Edmund is in charge of...
  7. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    If we are talking about English history than I would say it relevant how long as the discussion is directed towards the content of this story
  8. AHQ: latest moment to reverse Celtic decline

    You need to prevent the Germanic expansion, which had already led to formerly Celtic territories in Bohemia, Austria and southern Germany to be taken over by Germanic tribes, who in Caesar's time were pushing into transalpine Gaul, which was the very reason Caesar was asked to help by the Celts...
  9. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I feel like News Corp. should start a animation studio. I have Lou Schiemer penciled in to run the entire thing, but if anyone can give me some animators with a shady scent to them that would be fine. I don't know when Julia Vickerman began working in the industry, but I'm thinking of people...
  10. No Pakistan: what happens to Balochistan and the NWFP?

    Even if Balochistan and NWFP didn't want to remain in India, which they definitely did not, countries don't just give up land without being forced to. ITTL, those provinces would definitely be much better of than OTL.
  11. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Oh, I imagine your Elementary School Computer Lab will have several of these to teach you computer literacy. I'd be 13/14 around this time and suddenly aware of my own emerging self-righteous teenage prickdom, so I'd of course be way too grown up for something as "little kid" as a MICKEY...
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    good idea i still use a compaq keyboard, 22 years of use, and print on keys not worn one bit, and still works like a charm. (very heavy keyboard also)
  13. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Hitler was hoping for a quick knock out punch and then sending the panzers east. A big gamble but likely a necessary one. They were pretty much committed at the point. The Soviet Union doesn't invade until May 10th, the panzers are already in the Ardennes and about to break out. Not following...

    WI: Wilhelm II is a pacifist

    Well... it took 24 years of his reign before the German Empire got into open, armed conflict with any other major power... Interesting that words like "pacifistic" were among those used by the General Staff and Foreign Ministry in their internal communications regarding Der Kaiser....

    President Willie Mangum?

    Hello, As far as antebellum Southern politicians go, the scale is usually from evil (John Calhoun) to horrible (Henry Foote), with few exceptions (Sam Houston or Thomas Benton), but one of those who are somewhat excepted seems to be North Carolina Senator Willie P. Mangum. Mangum was a...
  17. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Oh God, how come every thread On the board lately has the Tudors shoe horned in the discussions? Even when they are not even relevant to the plot or events? This is nuts , because they are dead in this timeline and Margaret Beaufort is a Yorkist! Please let’s not derail this thread with them...
  18. The Footprint of Mussolini - TL

    Hi still reading through the TL but I'm hopeful that the French tank projects of the early 50s are accepted and brought into service. It was planned that they'd be used to equip both the French and German militaries and maybe some help from the tank designers at MAN, Henshcel and Daimler-Benz...

    ok thank you can't wait to see the link
  20. That Wacky Redhead

    This is an epic TL, Brainbin. My questions are about the PoD. How did you ensure that Desilu remained in Lucille Ball's hands? Wouldn't Bluhdorn (who was one of the richest men in the world at the time) simply just buy her out without more financial muscle coming to Lucy's aid? Desilu started...
