  1. What if George Soros was never born?

    He was very good to me.
  2. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Australians ITTL, what are the happenings with them. We have seen the plans that have been made but that requires the approval of the Australian PM. IOTL Menzies gave the go ahead on February 25th but we have passed that date ITTL and heard nothing.
  3. Could any of the communist goverments of Eastern Europe have survived the Soviet Collapse?

    That's a point I should have thought of, and you may be right - but if they were that alienated from the system (because they were from one of the Baltics, or some other reason), would they have felt comfortable letting themselves be photographed by the world press doing what they did?
  4. What if George Soros was never born?

    I think people might also be worried about falling into current politics? Given that Soros is a figure much villified by groups who are very active today. Friendly suggestion: Maybe try to get this moved to chat? I'd probably have a few things to say about the topic, if I knew current-politics...
  5. The Jovian

    What if George Soros was never born?

    Soros is just a rando billionaire that's slightly left of center on social issues that got turned into the far-right's boogeyman and source of all evil. It's like asking what if Lee Iacocca or Mark Cuban didn't exist? Well they didn't exist. The far-right would've found another liberal...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Anybody expecting the Russians to suddenly get a whole lot more supplies form Britain in the event of a mid to late victory in North Africa are mistaken. To start with Britain will need to rest and importantly refit it's formations that have just been involved in the fighting, in addition they...
  7. AHC: Rome without slavery

    A lot of later Roman expansion was driven by the slave market for prisoners. Rome wouldn't be Rome without it.
  8. Osman Aga

    Ottomans defeat Nader Shah

    Probably. That is if he isn't distracted in India
  9. American Venezuelan Filibuster

    Asb Oregon was far more valuable than malaria driven guyana
  10. AHC: Rome without slavery

    What if we have one of the big slave revolts succeeding? Like Spartacus taking over Rome or managing to leave it with a significant force? A strongly anti slavery state is created that liberates all slaves in the territories in conquers. As in the vast majority of the "civilized" antiquity...
  11. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    Why Nixon instead of Warren? Also, I wonder if James Roosevelt could've become governor of California in 1950, had he not faced an extremely popular incumbent who won 40% of the vote in the Democratic primary.
  12. A European "China"?

    The topic remind me of that ideas as people argue rome was the europe China
  13. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    Dewey was one of Eisenhower's mentors. Ike could succeed Marshall at State or be Secretary of Defense.
  14. Long term effects of a Dewey '48 presidency?

    I don't know if there would even be a Korean War. The US under President Dewey will look much more formidable in June of 1950 than it did IOTL since Dewey would have ramped up US defense spending upon assuming office rather than slashing it to the bone like Truman did IOTL, and John Foster...
  15. A European "China"?

    I'd say either have the Carolingian Empire hold together or have the Byzantines reconquer (and subsequently hold) southern Europe. As others have said, averting the Great Schism would make the latter more plausible.
  16. The Union Forever: A TL

    Indeed, the eventual end goal is to take the timeline to 2062. Overall the technology level is more advanced than OTL , but things vary depending on the area. Nearly all of the technology described so far has been researched if not already duplicated in OTL, such as the glow in the dark...
  17. [Query] Successful Ottomanization or Turkification of Greece?

    Nope as they are the main ottoman group alongside rum.
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Too many people look at history with modern morals, without taking into account the fear and desperation being experienced at the time! Hindsight is always clearer when you don't have to experience the reality!
  19. Whiteshore

    A European "China"?

    A "Muslim Roman Empire" much like how Persia was Islamized but remained Persian would be interesting.
  20. US recognition of Vietnamese independence

    Nothing against France, but I think they didn't bring enough to the table to warrant kid gloves with them on most every issue.
