  1. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    No, her husbands ruled it. Louis XII just ruled it in her name. Husbands more often than not had at least the biggest share of rulership (if not full powers).

    China does not take over Tibet

    I don't even think that is certain, considering the GMD's shtick on Mandarin promotion and how, during the martial-law period in Taiwan, the GMD outlawed any language that was not Mandarin. True, the destruction of Tibet's cultural heritage would not reach the heights of the Cultural...

    After the excitement surrounding Reginald McKenna becoming Liberal leader and the creation of a separate Party to challenge Lloyd George, things quietened down for a time. Much of the attention was still on the Prime Minister gracing the world stage at the Paris Peace Conference. Asquith...

    And I would gladly be the first one to argue so. I simply so no reason why being capitalist (and monarchist) puppet is inherently better than being Soviet sattelite. At least in the latter case,they could have larger territory.

  19. Could the USSR work well enought on its orthodox form to be a pleasant place in modern day?
