  1. AHC: Earliest Possible Philippine Independence (American Period)

    The fact is, most of the Aguinaldo and his ministers dont want protection, they wanted complete total independence. While the Americanists wanted this. the regime and the majority of the people is against it. That is why they refused the deal when they are offered that in the middle of the war...

    gxblt: Swedish colony in Delaware is absorbed by the Dutch as per OTL, but the Finnish emigration to the new world never ceases. Due to the space-consuming nature of their preferred form of agriculture, the slash-and-burn, the new settlers spread across the area of the Great Lakes at great...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    every pilot started out in a Stearman PT-17 Biplane, and was checked out on every type after that. It's all incremental, just the pre-flight check gets longer and longer
  4. It's A Long Way To Nagasaki: The Anglo-Japanese War

    No more difficult than transferring troops to neighbouring East Prussia. In fact troops would like take up stations in Lithuania coming from East Prussia. Re: Slovakia, it was actually very useful. As a staging point for the German invasion of Poland. Prior to 1938/1939 Polish defence plans for...
  5. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    That, and past a certain point, 'Catholic' and 'Protestant' become less important than 'German'. That said, I do think the Habsburgs would remain an international dynasty, much like the Hohenzollerns. The Hohenzollerns, after all, have the main branch ruling as Kings of Prussia and German...

    Keperry: This scenario is roughly Madagascar-as-Oman. The Sakalava kingdoms of the western coast convert to Islam, unite, and in addition to subjugating the rest of Madagascar also push Portugal out of a significant portion of the East African coast as Oman did in OTL, and then go further...

    Tsar of New Zealand: A rather bog-standard Nuh Zillund Stronk AH: here the desires of expansionist figures in the late nineteenth century come to fruition, with New Zealand passing the Confederation and Annexation Bill of 1883 and amassing a vast network of Pacific colonies - if often in name...

    DBAHC give Canada a west coast

    I suppose if the Spanish were less successful in North America, we wouldn't see the Nutca Republic. Pic related. This was their initial claim, not the final product, of course.
  9. The Plantagenet Succession

    Good. It’ll be coming soon. Along with a French Family tree up to the 1510s.
  10. Countries that could go to war with a surviving CSA that’s never been done before?

    I’ve seen TLs in which they go to war with Spain, the Union, and Mexico. But those are pretty common tropes. I wanna have a different country go to war with them. Like Brazil? Britain? France? Can you name any countries they could go to war with?
  11. In hindsight, was American independence from the British inevitable?

    Are you kidding? Australia certainly did among the substantially Irish lower classes. Also the question of what "independence" means is one that is very affected by a post-1815 nation state sovereignty model in our timeline. In this timeline, polities might think it is a normal state of affairs...
  12. Earliest self-rule for India as a part of the British Empire

    Not all the princely states were big enough to sustain themselves, of all the 600 or so princely states 8 were sustainable and they occupied more than 65 percent of the area under the rule of the prince , the rest territory was no more than 3-20 kms. You have remember 65 percent of British India...

    Zalezsky: World War One draws to a close and borders must be redrawn. One nation that sinks its teeth into the Versailles treaty is a surprising one: Luxembourg. Demanding the Islands of New Bismarck and New Hannover from Germany; as well as the mandatory creation of an international water...
  14. DBAHC give Canada a west coast

    Canada does have a Pacific Coast, and an Arctic Coast, and an Atlantic Coast. In fact Canada has the longest coastline of any country on earth.

    That was yet another unexpected surprise. Welp, gotta add this to the ranking of potential Disney female-based sound chip names.

    Undeadmuffin: My first map from scratch The Kingdom of Brittany is able to colonize the island of Newfoundland, for a while New Nantes was only a smoking station for cod fishermens and a trading post with the natives. But once the kingdom of France began its conquest of Brittany during the...
  17. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    I mostly disagree with the above. First, the OTL Louis XIV who lived until 1715 got France into the War of the Spanish Succession. I don't know how a king could be more over-ambitious, or exhaust the country more financially, than that. Second, kings and royal princes, including the Dauphin...

    theman777: My submission: In 1882, 87 years after Poland lost independence, Polish nobleman and Russian navy officer Stefan Szolc-Rogozinski organized an expedition to Cameroon. While it was officially an exploration, in actuality it was a search for a place that a Polish colony could be...

    @ThatCallisto , do you happen to know what’s docked to the CSM’s nose in that first image? It’s obviously not an ATM but I can’t begin to figure out what it is. A docking module?
