  1. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    If I remember correctly you have the Middle East basically split between the Mamluks, a new Persian Empire ruled by the Qutlughids and an independent Syrian state as a buffer zone between them. So it seems pretty stable at the moment, unless someone screws up. In the global overview it also...

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Damn, I have never heard of this to the point where I had to look up what an abscessed jaw was. Okay definitely not out there for Edward then. Also shame on Richard for treating his nephews that badly.
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I've got a better idea. Essentially a kid-friendly parody of M*A*S*H, but with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Kermit, and the rest of the gang being portrayed as soldiers in a made-up war. Maybe the war can be one giant mockery of how safe and innocent animation has become in recent decades, what with...
  5. WI : Constantinople resisting and early fall of the Crimean khanate

    @Goldensilver81 - by the sources I've read regarding the siege, it was considered a monumental expenditure that was very much putting Mehmed II's reputation and political power on the line. It was pivotal in the balance between the European and Conservative elements of the Ottoman Court. If they...
  6. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    It seems to be like they're trying to combine two things into one here: a.) Were the Nazis close to building an airplane that could reach New York with the payload capacity to drop an atomic bomb; and b.) Were the Nazis close to building an atomic bomb? It also hints around the possibilities...
  7. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    Or the British Post Office playing a leading role in cryptanalysis of German codes... Oh wait that one happened.
  8. Was the Arab Expansion Inevitable, and Can It Happen Without A United Faith?

    I'd suspect that yes, an Arab expansion would still occur even if Muhammad died as a child. The economic, technological, and geopolitical factors that enabled the military expansion weren't caused by Muhammad alone - there were other prophets and political figures in Arabia who could have sought...
  9. Murat joins the 6th coalition in 1813

    I suppose that, if he try to stay calm and quite, he can hold the trhone. but it's still difficult, he didn't have a good renow. i read that his second son was more conservative, you can confirm? if his first son died as otl, he ( the second) woud be king in 1848.

    Are there threads to post challenge maps? If so please link it POD after say 1850 and should be done before 1950. Anyway: challenge achieve these borders, rest of world may look however you like but the main point is a border on the Volga and Don. Blue nation is north of Volga and west of...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    True but as it is it is the sort of situation where German forces would probably decide to try an attack. Maybe not with an anti tank gun but if someone with a faust can get close then that's a dead tank for the risk of a squad of troops.

    Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Edward V was perfectly healthy when he went into the Tower. Within a month he had an abscessed jaw, which I believe probably killed him. It's not out of the realms of possiblity.
  13. movie “The Poseidon Adventure” as metaphor for 1970s loss of confidence in authority?

    The corporate clone was an obvious nod to the legend of a White Star Line idiot ordering Titanic to full speed.

    Alternate Hundred Years War with England-Scotland Personal Union

    You're reading it wrong. It's about neutralizing Jeanne's claim, which is why they chose someone who was already in the succession line and known to be calm and unambitious to marry her. In comparison, Isabelle's son is, while not an unknown, someone who the Capetiens will distrust as he...
  15. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Not at all, i do like long updates myself, frankly. One of the criteria, even though it is a silly one, that i use to begin a new story is precisely the length. When you are doing good writing, the length doesn't matter that much.
  16. Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    Your logic would lead to the conclusion that if Hitler lived the Allies could not have removed Hitler. They agreed, rightfully I think, that they would allow Hirohito to remain as emperor. Obviously the role was very different after the war.

  18. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    I am sure you would. Right now it is fending off tons of lawsuits from various property owners, community activists (the communities its going through don't want them), and local governments which is one reason they spent a decade spending billions and accomplishing virtually nothing. If...
