  1. WI: Eastern Roman Empire Christianizes, West does not

    The slavs were mostly christianised from the ERE by Saints Cyril and Methodius.
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Maybe a bit late on this train... For Disney military stuff, the obvious choice isn't Mickey or Kermit, its Donald. Not only is he an actual real life retired Army officer... I will never understand how a cartoon duck outranks me, but such is life... but in addission to his Army promo videos...
  3. Was the Char B the "Tiger Tank" of France?

    The Valentine was a derivative of the A10 Cruiser using the same suspension and gun and Engine but up armoured sacrificing a little bit of speed and operational range but the Valentine project didn't start until 1938 so it would have been too late. I've always thought the best option for the...

    I agree too, there is time to write, we can wait for you to rest completely.

    Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    I don’t think there was a Queen in their own right who did this, but Juana of Portugal, the Queen of Henry IV of Castile had two bastards that clearly weren’t her husband’s. Needless to say her daughter (who may have been Henry IV’s) child was deposed and locked up in a convent for her remaining...
  6. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    Not sure about monarchs (have a vague memory of a swedish queen being alleged to have given birth out of wedlock but Danish princess definitely did and it was hushed up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Thyra_of_Denmark In Elizabeth's case it would be a "long illness" and denied to all comers.

    Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    Elizabeth I, if she wants to save herself should follow her Father eat a lot of food, so she can just say she’s putting on wait, and when the baby is born send it to some village to be raised by peasants and pretend the whole ordeal never happened.

    WI: Henry, Duke of Cornwall survived?

    Huh, I thought she had Eleanor at 17 for some reason. Anyways it isn’t impossible as you said since Henry needs heirs and spares ASAP.
  9. Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    Honestly the only thing in MiAJ that makes me go "really?" is the idea that romance languages have been wiped out from Andalusian polite society? I sort of get that Hats is taking this on the premise that African Romance had been completely eradicated by the 13th century, so why would Iberian...
  10. Proposals and War Aims That Didn't Happen Map Thread

    After all that I'm amazed they didn't want to annex the sun too. Or at least place it in their sphere of influence.
  11. WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    Wasn't there also a plan - by Britain - to set up a waystation on Ilha de Trinidade (off the coast of Brasil)? Or was that for "round the Horn" crossings rather than general South Atlantic/round Africa?

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Eh, TBH that's not necessarily so. Some people, through no fault of their own and despite being absolutely lovely people, just aren't cut out to be parents. Or, even if they'd make great parents, don't want to be. Which is entirely fine. TBH, I'd be entirely happy with Kiki and Ben remaining...
  13. AHQ/AHC: Ideal modern tank design?

    Maybe add being able to use catapult launched drones for spotting. The age of land battleships are upon us!.
  14. Rosenberg's Reich: The Myth of The Twentieth Century

    Check out the replies on page 18, there have been retcons.
  15. How devastating would a Japanese invasion of Korea be in the 1870s

    For the Qing and even the reformist faction of Li Hongzhang, Korea was of paramount strategic importance as a buffer state to the core Manchu & Chinese territories, and it would have absolutely intervened in the event of a Japanese invasion, even if it meant sacrificing more peripheral interests...
  16. WI: Eastern Roman Empire Christianizes, West does not

    One of the most relevant temples excavated in Pompeii is the one dedicated to the cult to Isis. It is evidence that it was quickly re-built after the earthquake that affected the city some years prior to the eruption, indicating how important it was for a significant part of the Pompeian population.
  17. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    Has there ever been a historical precedent for a European female monarch having a bastard child, either through cuckoldry or cuckqueandry?

    The Forge of Weyland

    As I remember he was right about the U-boat and they sank it.
  19. WI: Charles I Stuart spared, but imprisoned

    I think the Commonwealth would have lasted for even less time than it did IOTL.
