  1. Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    OTL time of annexation was basically the window of opportunity. Second and Third Anglo Dutch Wars (1665-67 and 1672-74) were the end of Anglo Dutch hostility. Once the Glorious Revolution takes place, they're allies for a century. A successful colony isn't going to be sold willingly. I...

    Leo V defeats his assassins

    Let's say that the following happens: When Michael of Amorium's assassins mistake the priest of the palace chapel for Leon, the emperor seizes the moment and attacks while they're distracted. He bashes in the head of the closest one with his lead crucifix and takes his sword, hacks off the arm...
  3. Could any of the communist goverments of Eastern Europe have survived the Soviet Collapse?

    By that time Communism was starting to break down in the USSR itself and you had Perestroika.

    Threadmarks: Story 2544

    Moscow, May 14, 1944 The women got out of the way. A shunting engine was coming down the tracks. Its horn should have been blaring, but the operator was exhausted. The team had met their quota hours ago but the reconstituted and reconstructed tank corps still had not completely cleared the...

  6. What if George Soros was never born?

    The far-right finds some other billionaire to be their bogeyman
  7. What if George Soros was never born?

    He was able to short the pound because that currency was taken into the Exchange Rate Mechanism at too high a value, leaving it vulnerable to attack by speculators (the ERM was set up in the prelude to the introduction of the Euro as a single currency - EU member states agreed to peg the...
  8. There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon.

    Good to know who Joao and Catarina will have a better relationship when they will be older... And right now is pretty normal who a girl of five years and half will be more interested in playing with a seven years old girl than talking with a boy of ten years so Joao will do better to keep his...
  9. What if George Soros was never born?

    More blame and pinning of conspiracy theories on Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos? I’m on the more conservative end and I think the Soros stuff is stupid and a code word for “Jews.”

  11. Fate of Alaska with an American Canada?

    Then it would still go to the USA in the ATL counterpart of the Spanish-American War, and although a War of 1812 POD could butterfly that war away, the Spanish acquisition of Alaska makes the war much more likely.
  12. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    Hmmm forgot about that. You’re right. Maybe too we get the Republicans to become the liberal party with Warren, at least for a generation.

    What happens if Rock Island chooses the Christie Route to American armor for WWII?
    Threadmarks: More tank education.

    U. S. Army Tank Development 1925-1940 by Konrad F. Schreier Jr. Hyperbole. Post WWII, one can see a lot of lessons learned and ideas borrowed from the British and the Germans. The Americans were kind of unhappy with the T2X, but lack of money (Truman) and the tank panic (Korea) is why the US...
  17. With a POD in 1750 can new imperialism be avoided?

    Maybe if Germany was kept disunited with a French and a Austrian sphere of influence? Wasn' t Bismarck trying to get France more involved in Africa to get her desinterested in Alsace-Loraine? If Germany was kept disunited you have France, Prussia and Austria competing în Europe, with England...
  18. Plausibility Check: New Netherland Settler Colony?

    It boils down to is there a will and is there a way? The colony was settled by Dutch West India Company for purposes of making a profit. There's certainly money to be made in pursuits other than fur trading, but they required more effort/resources/time. Settlement colonies are a long term...
  19. Fate of Alaska with an American Canada?

    I think Spain could purchase it, given the fact the 1860s were somewhat of a high point for Spain's otherwise unfortunate 19th century, and Spain did have an historic claim on Alaska based on their expeditions in the Pacific Northwest. The Japanese loved gold and IOTL gold rushes in Hokkaido...
  20. Could any of the communist goverments of Eastern Europe have survived the Soviet Collapse?

    Certainly, at least in some countries. Albania and Bulgaria seem to be the most straight-forward candidates. In these two countries, the communist parties had the support of the people untill the very end (Just look at the results of the 1991 Albanian Parliamentary Elections and the 1990...
