  1. When was the Levant and Egypt lost/unconquerable to the Romans/Byzantines?

    But by then Egypt was already thoroughly islamised, wasn't it?

    1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    Here's my favorite classic rock greatest hits. Besides the Beatles who have a greater discography? The Best of Aerosmith(1993) Dream On Mama Kin Toys In The Attic Sweet Emotion Walk This Way Back In The Saddle Kings And Queens Doctor, Doctor(Bad Case of Loving You) Cut A Bit Deeper Straight To...

    What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    i genuinely don't see how a ww2 is possible in a CP win. Brest-Livtosk being confirmed and secured will mean Russia will pose about as much threat as the Qing Dynasty because they'd have lost their bread baskets, baltic ports, and their industrial heartland that ran through the old PLC. France...

  6. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    We human beings do this. For example, I’m sure during the days of Ancient Egypt that people spent FAR MORE mental energy trying to maneuver within the hierarchy than they did on unlikely efforts to reform it.
  7. Mad Bad Rabbit

    Who could have been the most chaotic, insane and "lost" American president ever if elected?

    Against all odds, entertainer Wavy Gravy wins the 1980 presidential race.
  8. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    1940 - France is near collapse after the Nazi's sweep through Belgium and the Ardennes .. Churchill offers union with France ... POD === the French accept. The entire RAF is relocated to France and helps stop the Nazi onslaught, but not before the Low Contries have surrendered. Faced with...
  9. AHC: As big a Eurozone as possible

    Yes and no, part of the problem was the initial rate, but a lot of the problem was Germany integrating East Germany and keeping the peg.
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Of course between Ashman, Hunt, Menken, & Deja, TTL's Jim has a lot of openly gay people surrounding him. I wonder if he could show support for LGBT rights, even if it's just a "Jim Henson says gay rights" type situation. Maybe say something like, "Down in Mississippi, I knew a lot of people who...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    You'll get a bit of Charles shortly (ish) :) Actually, next time we see Katherine, she's remarkably restrained, because she's in front of her six-year-old daughter... And yes, Henry is being manipulated... And no, it won't end brilliantly! Oh, and thank you for the birthday wishes!

  14. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    None of this is true. The U.S.'s "Neutrality Patrols," a joke that everyone was in on, started immediately after the war began. The Soviets' stock was extremely low after they they basically got defeated in the Winter War, and to a lesser extent the fact that they'd put up a pretty...

    Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    So, by the time a strike group gets prepped, launched, and organized over their carriers, then it should be within reasonable range for one (or more?) strikes? Also, have the Japanese located the US fleet?
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    All good points. With Algeria I think we can assume neither side would go in. France is "neutral" at this point and the Allies won't want to push them towards the Axis camp by act of stupid (especially as Algeria is considered part of France itself). Meanwhile if the Allies have got that far...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    He and Natalie Dormer are my go-to actors for Thomas and Anne, unless Anne is raised a Princess, like she is in some AUs, including one of mine. Then I pick Michelle Dockery. But otherwise it's Natalie. Carey Mulligan as she was in Bleak House is my Mary Boleyn and Kristin Scott Thomas my...
  18. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    That assumes you can trust Cambodian customs to do that (either because they want to or are capable of doing so), and the whole point of this is you don't think you can. That assumes you dealing with a situation where the Gov nominally in charge is deliberately running or allowing the smuggling...

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Unlike someone like John Henson or Thuy Trang who could realistically be saved with the power of butterflies, AIDS is AIDS and I agree that butterflying their condition would be dishonest and unrealistic both narratively and IRL. Although, I did expect them to live a little while longer, but the...
