    Leo V defeats his assassins

    Wow, that's like his stomach blood over there! That doesn't even seem possible - it's like one big chunk. :P On a side note, after such a feat of superhuman abilities, I suspect that Leo V will be seen as certainly favored by God and this would would to a strengthening of iconoclasm. People...
  2. Alternate 'Battle of Midway': RN instead of USN, what's the result?

    I wouldn't quite say that exactly, NOMISYRRUC. The interwar fleet problems led the USN to the 'balanced fleet' concept, where the battleship and carrier were co-capital ships. The problem was the USN didn't have any battleships fast enough to operate with the carriers in the interwar...
  3. Ottomans in CP Victory?

    Would Britain maintain an agreement with a country that's just defeated them in a full blown Great Power war? The scenario is: So the War is more or less the same up until August '17 - not exactly grounds conducive to friendly economic co-operation. Requires British acquiescence or German...
  4. The Plantagenet Succession

    He had none true one as his possible one had holes everywhere.
  5. AHC: Rome without slavery

    Those revolts wouldn't change much honestly. The first 2 servile wars were easily isolated in Sicily and headed by slaves who had resorted to banditry, piracy and some cultists of the dread matriarch Atargatis. The reason they got so bad was that the Romans left the slaves "free range" and had...
  6. Your Personal TNO Headcanon?

    I don't really see how "Russia is dead as a concept" would ever work. It's a way to hype up Taboritsky's utter devastation of the country, and it would definitely be right to say that due to his actions Russia may never rise to the status of great power ever again, but I don't see how one could...
  7. "Our Struggle": What If Hitler Had Been a Communist?

    With fascist Italy on the allied side and nazi germany not being a thing, communism will instead be perceived as the most authoritarian, evil government and as antithetical to democracy, atleast in the west.
  8. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    If these cities continue to grow then I imagine it could very well work, but as of rn I just don't know if the population is there for the demand to be sufficiently high. That could just be a lack of knowledge on my part, as I don't know how regularly people travel between Seattle and Portland.
  9. What if George Soros was never born?

    He's basically replaced the Rockefellers on that score. Though anti-Sorosism seems more precisely focused on issues related to supposed loss-of-national-sovereignty. That really seems to be the one theme uniting all the people who hate him, some of whom have views otherwise diametrically...
  10. Fate of Alaska with an American Canada?

    Not if Meiji Japan acquires it before 1898. I imagine that in the aftermath of Third Carlist War Spain would want to sell Alaska. Japan would probably not be a buyer before 1890 or so admittedly. After something like the 1895 Triple Intervention, then I imagine Meiji Japan would be very...
  11. Most likely winner in a no-watergate 1976 Presidential election?

    Well when Agnew resigns I feel like Bush would be on the shortlist for VP, but given Nixon's preference for Connally, Bush likely doesn't get picked. I'm sure Nixon would find some important job for Bush (he seemed to think fairly highly of him, but ill admit I don't know much about their...
  12. What if George Soros was never born?

    I've notified the mods that I think this might be better for Chat, due to the current-politics issue. Nothing against the topic at all, but seeing as how we've already had one pizzagate reference, which gets us pretty close(but not quite) to the nightly news 2021, my guess is that sooner or...

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Yes, but the thing is strictly legally speaking Tudor did have a claim. I honestly get annoyed when his claim is described at this because it wasn’t IMO.
  14. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Yeah, it is true that their attention did not last long with each other, but it's to be expected. Yeah I know, I just thought that Madam Princess would sound better than something including Infanta, but I changed it. Thank you!
  15. American Venezuelan Filibuster

    Venezuela is 916,000 km2, Washington state 71,000 km2, about 2/3 of which would go to Canada with a Columbia River border. This might fit with a South dominant US government trying to form its Golden Circle.

    The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

    Question, why does Sicily and Naples follow a different set of rules from Denmark and Norway? Whenever the former two are united they are colored differently whereas the latter two get the same color despite Norway having arguably more autonomy than Sicily and formally being a separate kingdom.
  17. The Plantagenet Succession

    Most of the Lancastrian nobles had not different opinion on that. The promise of marrying either Elizabeth or Cecily of York was the thing who transformed Henry Tudor from a joke claimant in a King
  18. RedKing

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Yes, but legally speaking one could argue they were, of course back then people just assumed they couldn’t inherit.
  19. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    Honestly the French government was stupid to care so much for a small colony that was only taken to spite the British who had India, while the focus should have been on rebuilding the Metropole and concentrating on the Algerian and African colonies. More so after the Brits left India anyway.
  20. The Plantagenet Succession

    They were NOT considered as possible heirs of the throne, as York was widely accepted as heir presumptive of Henry VI by almost everyone
