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

    Yay another healthy baby for Marie!!! Mistress Talbot plays a clever game, but Catherine will be absolutely livid to hear that he remarries to someone that's a mere local noble, and that he's willing to do things for her that he wouldn't for his first wife.. Excellent chapter!

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    He probably would bring Prussian servicemen with him. Though honestly Nepal was already extremely highly militarized during this time having an army of 30,000 strong (around a third modern) for a country with ~1.8 million people. It was meant to be a temporary compromise, which is why all the...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    I think it shares some likeness though, take in a foreign prince of a foreign religion for the purpose of "compromise", will likely lead to no parties being satisfied.

    How accurate is the description of the Naval War in the Atlantic in Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising"?

    Forgot China. The Peking crew were very much in the Moscow calculations. The Chinese may have been "communists" (CINOs) but they were not "allies". Still were/are not; if the geo-political tea leaf readers are correct. Just playing the "great game" Sun Tzu style.
  5. Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    my reading on the subject, the PRV engine was used because Renault would finance the engine and was able to supply transmission with it, also they were able to deliver large volume, more than needed but that was not known initially. it does not seem a bad choice, French sports car maker Venturi...
  6. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    There is that though will he bring prussian noble and servicemen with him to nepal to act as minister or army general? Cause if let say that happen nepal would be very militerised perhaps like chilean army today (which makes it quite easy to provoke into a war with another nation like bhutan or...
  7. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Tudor's land he holds would be primarily in the north no? It's reasonable he initially winds up in the pro Richard camp if only because everyone else is doing it. Heck could see him playing Stanley during Buckingham's Rebellion.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France
    Threadmarks: Section XLI - July 1522

    Amboise, July 1522 The baby snuffles against Marie’s breast, nestling contentedly. She can’t help but giggle as his light breaths tickle her bare skin like feathers. She cups the back of his head, running her fingers gently over the dark down covering the delicate scalp. “He’s beautiful,” she...

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    I doubt he’d do it if Elizabeth is married abroad, for the same reasons @Kellan Sullivan said, but if he does Tudor will either become a member of an anti-Riccardian group or be captured by Richard.
  11. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Sorry but yes most folks prefer driving to mass transit, in London they have to out a HUGE fee on driving your car in the inner city to cut back the numbers and this is on top of having rediculus traffic levels and a road system designed for horse and buggy. And people still try to drivecif...

  13. The Popular Will: Reformism, Radicalism & Republicanism in Britain 1815-1960

    Just a brief exert from the work I'm doing at the minute... won't be too long now... (this is the introduction to the next part to be posted) 1903. Joseph Chamberlain stood upon the dispatch box on last time. He was aware, he said to Charles Dilke in 1874, his future Leader of the Senate...
  14. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    The Romans can take the key port cities and rule from Alexandria. The Crusaders take the rest as a vassal (that’ll break away when the Romans eventually have a civil war). We know already that Jerusalem will become a kingdom soon, will it be both Levantine and Egypt? I think it’ll be interesting...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Honestly it would be funny if the Byzantines conquered Egypt but some ambitious general or governor declares his independence.
  16. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    Henry has to go back to England to marry (theoretically). In all likelihood, Dickon does to Tudor what Harry did to the de la Poles (keep him under arrest for the remainder of his life) and give custody of Maggie B's grandson to someone like Lovell or Catesby

  18. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    Problem with that is it escalates the war, and frankly while there might be short term benefits there will be long term repercussions. You can't separate the tactics and strategy on the ground from the global politics (if for no other reason we're there because of global politics) Hell a war...
  19. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    Maybe if you put the axe down it might make for the beginnings of a good discussion. When I read that kind of invective I just find it all a struggle.
  20. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Looking at pictures of the battlefield today and some from the time OTL I’d really hate to try and take a command truck or a staff car through it. The whole battlefield is a mess of scrubland, with rocky terrain thrown in, I don’t think anything but a tank, a universal carrier or maybe a 4x4...
