    WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    I dont believe that, its a lie
  2. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    According to the article at this link: https://discover.hubpages.com/education/Nazi-and-Japanese-nuclear-weapons Nazi Germany was very close to both developing an atomic bomb and having a means to deliver said bomb (The Amerika Bomber). The article states: The intended target of the final...
  3. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    Be ironic if after the collapse of the Warsaw pact, there is an effort to reuinify Czechslovakia
  4. More Than A Feeling

    1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    I am planning part fictional and part real players. Guys like Gretzky and Howe will be around but so will fictional stars. John Brewer is the first character I have introduced but he will not be the last.
  5. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    T2 will definitely come up, as will Cameron. Recall that Carolco bought Orion ITTL. Avatar...depends on when the idea came up and how. As to the Disneytowns and where they go, recall that they are not necessarily intended to compete directly with full sized theme parks. The rides and...

    Napoleon, instead of invading Egypt to get to India, disembarks his troops onto Egypt and pays for some ships to get to India

    One thing to note is that the Mamelukes, whilst vassals of the Ottomans, were kind of inclined to do their own thing, so an agreement with Constantinople might not be worth much, unless the Ottomans also send a force to impress agreement upon them

    Map Thread XX

    ...distracted and have forgotten most of it. Here's everything I'd written prior to distraction. Inspired by some recent discussion about ISOTing New *x* places. Territory ISOT is Greater Basque Country (Including Navarre), Arizona (a name that comes from Basque), and the territory of New...

    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    I'm not sure of the STRATEGIC value for Napoleon in taking the Peloponnese - other than Corinth. If he occupies Athens, Corinth and Missolonghi then he basically shuts off any forces still further South. MAYBE he would want to send archaeological teams to Mycenae, and those would go under guard.
  9. Supreme Court after a second HW Bush Term

    White was known for being fairly conservative on issues of criminal procedure, abortion, affirmative action, and the death penalty. I don't see why he'd have a big issue with Bush replacing him. Perhaps Blackmun tries to hold out.
  10. Napoleon, instead of invading Egypt to get to India, disembarks his troops onto Egypt and pays for some ships to get to India

    as we know, Napoleon invaded Egypt in order to link up with Tipu Sultan in India. Suppose instead of Invading, given that the French and Ottomans are allies, he simply pays the Ottomans off to get military access into Egypt, disembarks his forces on Alexandria, hires some ships and sails off to...

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    I'd say any of the Richelieu class Battleships were worthy.

    Napoleon invades Greece instead of Egypt?

    Exactly - if France controlled Egypt, then it could resurrect trade to the Indian Ocean in exactly the same way that Venetian trade had been carried there before that route was shut off. That is to say by sea to Alexandria, overland to the Red Sea, and then back on board ships.
  13. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    There was the Free French fighter regiment "Normandie" in the Soviet-German front.

    Could any of the communist goverments of Eastern Europe have survived the Soviet Collapse?

    Who says that those young Soviet soldiers supported the Soviet system, though, or Moscow's control of Eastern Europe? I know an Estonian man who is still traumatized due to the fact that he had to serve in the Soviet army, even though the USSR was everything he hated. Maybe those young soldiers...
  15. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    ngl, those are some bad-ass names. OT: China could be (still) called Cathay?

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    The entire point of the last two (3 and 4) chapters was to demonstrate why a very common viewpoint or argument regarding the Soviet Union is inherently false. The argument usually being that the Soviet Union was already in a state of collapse by 1985. It's very much steeped in ignorance, now...

    no it aint, thats Italy on the map, not Egypt
  18. WI: Margaret Beaufort lived until the 1540s

    Seeing as how Henry was planning on marrying Catherine even before he became king (the main problem seems to have been the dowry), I think he'll probably still marry her. The thing about Scotland is very true, maybe with their grandmother serving as a mediator he and his sister could have a more...
  19. Would Beria have been a good leader for the Soviet Union?

    That's an interesting timeline. The USSR's internal divisions could prompt an earlier rolling back of the Iron Curtain.
  20. Supreme Court after a second HW Bush Term

    White and Blackmun presumably try to hold out until 1997.
