    AHC: Germanic but not Englidh England

    Instead of conquering the Lombards, Charlemagne invades Britain and makes it part of Francia.
  2. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    OK mate (we use "mate" in Ireland too as you know). You have my attention - what does the "stench of seven dead" refer to? This could be a good thread, so keep 'em coming, even if they're in your own inimitable style.

    What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    I doubt Bridget would be taken out of the convent, so maybe one of the de la Pole nieces for Henry? Elizabeth de la Pole would do nicely. As in Tudor becoming King? Well if Richard III usurps the throne, Tudor could be arrested/killed, which leads to a Riccardian England, unless Tudor has a son...
  4. UK General Election in 1938-39?

    Reading Nick Smart's The National Government 1931-40, in the wave of optimism that followed the signing of the Munich Agreement Neville Chamberlain seriously considered calling a snap General Election, and both the press and Labour Party expected him to call a snap poll within months. Eventually...
  5. Lionel Murphy saves Whitlam through the use of NSW Inc.

    ...of "grinding" regarding the labour movement? If anything these are explicitly criticism-self-criticism. For the labour movement, for the *right* of the labour movement, for the right of the Australian Labor Party movement I am putting the monthly fucking knickers on the line here, and they...
  6. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    The thing is the first and third sentences are related, the war was unpopular partly because of the way we choose to fight it. The stabbed in the back by the left really is a cliché at this point. The reality was we'd been there for considerably longer than we fought either Korea or WW2 for, it...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    the situation between albania and Nepal at this time period is decisively different though. That is the scenario i am more or less positing. However consider Waldemar agreed to marry a Nepali Noblewoman and have his children be of the Hindu faith, i think it would be more fair to say that the...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Well if it's OTL fair enough, it's still a stupid idea imho which was not copied by any other commanders later in the war. Though that comment could be interpreted as the greedy divisional commander having a proper truck mounted headquarters and then using the Matildas for front line visits and...
  9. Vietnam, a unwinnable war?

    That's the whole point. When the U.S. first intervened with ground troops in 1965, they should've pushed up the A Sau Valley, and then into Laos, to cut the HCM Trail. Military leaders wanted to do just that, but the theoretical neutrality of Laos prevented them from doing it. The U.S. fought...
  10. 'The Changes'

    I can find no thread here about either the books or the TV series so I've decided to start one. :) 'The Changes' is a trilogy by Peter Dickinson written around 1970 and postulating a Britain that had violently repudiated technology and gone back to a rural, agricultural way of life roughly...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I extrapolated from the comment: Lt Glover, a troop leader, recounted that “the battle itself was an absolute infanteer’s triumph, but the Divisional Commanders were using Matildas as armoured jeeps…”
  12. Twists and Turns: An Alternate 1952 and Beyond

    There was categorically NO risk of Communism in Iran, the British knew it when they lied through their teeth to protect there imperialist domination and rape of Iran’s economy for cheap oil Hell the Iran CIA station chief was fired by the Nazi Collaborating shit Allen Dulles because he rightly...
  13. What are some cliches in a Central Powers victory TL?

    The obvious one I often see is the RN Crushed at Jutland In order to do so the High Seas Fleet would have to fight the Grand fleet something it only just avoided doing OTL and was quite rightly loathe to do so and correct to have gone to great efforts to break contact as it would have been...
  14. Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Maybe it will be like the situation in sarawak where you have a european ruler in a majority non european country though the major question is what side will nepas choose in ww1 and ww2?
  15. O're Hills and Valleys Reign: A Cumbrian Timeline

    very cool chapter i am glad this is back ^^
  16. Have the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) be successful

    my understanding the paint shop was a huge percentage of the cost of a factory, and presented environmental concerns, so they side stepped that with stainless steel skin. the intention (at least as articulated by JZD) was to have plastic body panels, similar to what Saturn and Pontiac Fiero had...

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    I think it’s likely it’ll go about as well as Prince Wilhelm of Albania.
  18. What if Edward IV lived to the end of 1483?

    When Edward dies, Richard still feels threatened by the Woodvilles? If there is so, he goes ahead with something. Who knows, perhaps Henry Tudor falls in Richard's purge.
  19. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    He did they took three of them but only used two I think also the British troops nicknamed them Dorchester after the hotel.

    Prince Waldemar of Prussia made King of Nepal in 1845

    Waldemar said that he would remain Lutheran whilst any potential child of his would be Hindu. So conversion is very unlikely if at all.
