  1. Roger Taney Dies, 1855

    How different can Dred Scott be from OTL if James Buchanan still becomes president?
  2. Robert Dudley gets Queen Elizabeth I pregnant

    Well if the baby starts looking like David Tennant... In all seriousness while it's good to be the king, if it's the queen she'd want to cover this up hard. Have him be kept on the downlow and only ever reveal him if you are in absolute need of an heir that's not Scottish(her dad tried to...
  3. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Yes, it was. It will be Botswana's problem when diamonds and another resources will ended and they must search new model Japanese protectionist policy began before WWII. You forget about European automobiles, Volkswagen Beetle for example This is not the first time I have said that the...
  4. East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916

    ...did not suffer the catastrope of 1914 that unfolded in OTL. They have more stick to swing here. This would not mean that Poland should be an *Austrian* puppet, but it does mean that they will have a very significant role to play in shaping the new Polish polity. Berlin won't simply be able...
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Cool! Okay, so that is the case. So, will we get a more accurate Rocketeer film under WB? That makes sense. Here's to hoping that his time at Fox will give him the lessons he needs to become Warner Bros Animation's top supplier. I wasn't hinting at Turner buying another company. I was hoping...
  6. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    What about William Seward?
  7. List of monarchs III

    Hello everyone! I'm TheBeanieBaron and that was my first post! I hope you enjoyed it and I will soon post the next list. I am open to criticism.
  8. Best accidental president

    I'd be hesitant calling him the best potential accidental president if a large factor was being better than that mistake That's why I said eight or nine; given the unique state of his ascension to the presidency, how much you can consider him an "accident" is debatable
  9. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    Clay is my favorite for this. While I would've preferred Hamlin be kept on the ticket, that's mainly because it's hard to get worse than Andrew Johnson.
  10. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    I came across the Spey F4B in my reading on the P1154, but don't know any specifics. I know that during the F4K negotiations they argued about it being based on the B or J, so it makes sense that the initial Spey idea was for the B. I'll find a cutaway and see if I can figure out what 'in the...
  11. List of monarchs III

    Monarchs of Great Britain 1830-1837: William IV (House of Hanover) 1837-1851: Ernest I (House of Hanover) (1) 1851-1878: George V (House of Hanover) (2) 1878-1927: Mary III (House of Hanover) [3] 1927-1957: Christian I (House of Glucksburg) [4] 1957-1980: William V (House of Glucksburg) [5]...
  12. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    BBC Russian Article comparing him to Deng Xiaoping. Interestingly enough, his only son Sergo was the first crush of Stalin's daughter although Beria warned him off from any relationship.
  13. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    Adlai Stevenson was the Vice President for Grover Cleveland. Since Cleveland had cancer during his administration, and underwent serious and risky surgery for it, Stevenon may have come closer than any VP to becoming President without actually becoming President. So he needs to be included on...

    How might a surviving Palmyrene and/or Gallic Empire evolve?

    Assuming the Palmyrene Empire doesn't expand much outside its maximum extent outside incorporating Anatolia and Cyrenaica, I forsee Vaballathus or some successor of Zenobia eventually moving the capital to Alexandria. Why? Because Alexandria is the largest city in this empire and was the capital...
  15. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God: A History of the True Whigs

    Don't worry he comes across as both believably incompetent and believably competent. In the short term he's kind of messing up but in the long term he's actually laying down solid groundwork for a state. He seems like a real character, so absurd that its hard to believe he's made up but in a...
  16. WI: The Netherlands Keeps South Africa

    In the age of sail, the ocean currents were important in choosing a provisioning station so it is important to look at the routes that mariners actually took. The coastline of what today is the Eastern Cape along with the Natal coast were known to be treacherous and as a result became the site...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Of all things mentioned here, I speculate that the syncresis of crusading doctrine with Byzantine caesaropapism will affect some very longstanding changes in social and political developments in the ATL. Assuming the changes in Roman Orthodoxy will bleed over into the doctrines of other Orthodox...

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

    Good call! Rather than going through the hassle of 11 different publishers rejecting her manuscript (and thus delaying publication to 1997 as IOTL), Jo Rowling (no "JK" here, because that was basically forced on her by Bloomsbury) lucks out and gets her book published by Disney.

    Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    assuming Nazi's could have built a bomb the size of little boy the Ju 390 would have run out of fuel before reaching New York and even a recon flight would have been a one way trip.......prob one reason for cancelling the project.
  20. How might a surviving Palmyrene and/or Gallic Empire evolve?

    Let's suppose that the Palmyrene and/or Gallic Empires managed to survive as independent polities. How might they have developed?
