    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    👀 Nice. Basically Russia wins the Russo-Japanese War, which ends up butterfling away the Soviet Union and instead Tsarist Russia continues on into the 20th century as a better-off nation. Since there is no Stalin in charge and hence no Stalinism, what happens to George Orwell? I imagine...

    Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    For this election, ideology-wise, the Republican Party was essentially progressive agrarianism, while the Dems were establishment moderates, and the Liberty Party was just good ol' conservatism. On policies, Langer ran on a platform of regulation of big businesses, farming subsidies, helping...
  3. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I'd go with vestron and newline or with hemdale. Whats next
  4. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Russia could try and crack down on corruption and establish technical education. Then establish stable, democratic, government. And I don't mean the former Communists plus a party that would make Bannon & co. look like bleeding-heart liberals, but actual parties. Maybe a media that instead of...
  5. Other Portugals: What countries could have remained apart from Spain?

    Everyone has their own identity. But what I was referring to is that usually, it is the periphery that has a reactionary identity against the principal power. It makes sense for the Dutchy of Athens (also part of the Crown of Aragon) to resent the center of power (i.e. Barcelona's hold)...
  6. Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    1872 While the CSA was seeing economic and domestic stability, the Second Mexican Empire was suffering instability. Due to internal revolts at what the Mexican populace viewed as an illegitimate ruler, Maximilian I. However, any past revolt was put down due to French support in Mexico. In the...

    A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    @deLanglade Neat idea, but I think after WWII all that would result from such a tax (if it still existed) is Detroit building smaller automobiles than the titanic land yachts of late 1950s America. That would be a good thing in a way, but stifling what would be the country's largest single...

    A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Greater density can happen simply by having suburbanization not result in quite so much sprawl. If every new home built after WWII was on a smaller lot, if there were townhomes for those on lower incomes or with smaller households, if malls were all designed with multistory car parks for better...

    Bro not ok a mod literally decided last page that this is a chat topic there's a time and place for everything and we have a place to talk about tragedies like this it's called chat your not contributing to discussions about things like this are you doing is pissing off readers who have been...

  11. Pop-culture in TL-191

    I wonder if ITTL there would be "Featherston jokes" and perhaps a movie about two producers in a money laundering scheme who try to make a flop musical named "Springtime for Featherston."

    so what are the policies/ideologies of the parties? Also for some reason, I really like the green/orange layout for some reason
  13. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Some years back, I started a timeline where powerful railroad interests lobbied for passage of a national excise tax on automobiles in 1906 or so. At the time, the tax was assessed by engine size, with revenue used to improve roads. I was going to have this lead to fewer cars (because of the...
  14. Impact on Japan if the Emperor and Imperial monarchy was dismantled following WW2

    Why didn't that happen in Germany with the entire Nazi hierarchy decapitated more or less? I think the fanaticism of the Japanese people as a whole has been overstated. The German people were also quite brainwashed in ideology but you didn't see insurgency's. Sure in Japan you might have a...

    Tilden vs Hancock: Who'd be the better president?

    I'm going to say Tilden. He had more political experience, understood the issues better, and was fully independent of the party boss. Something tells me Hancock would sort of just bumble through his presidency if he achieved it as he had no real firm stances on any of the major issues of the day...

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    It would certainly be different, the same could be said about either American Dad and The Simpsons.
  17. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    You missed out the best bit I’m convinced this is a comedy skit now. Pile on the assertions, ever more wild, just to see how far it can build before it all comes crashing down. I fully expect nazis on the moon within three posts.

    African countries grow sugarcane to sell to Europe

    Yes until the English had their own sugar plantations in the Caribbean.

    Descendants of the Dragons and Fairies - Volume I: One Inch Missed, One Mile Fixed

    Any American intervention as in colonialism into Southeast Asia in TTL will ruin my intentions, but US-Vietnam relation would sure be wildly different from OTL. Given the surprisingly long and complex history of US-Southeast Asia interaction, there are much butterflies to come...
  20. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    While claims of Mexico being a failed narco-state are overblown, it also have some incredibly deadly amounts of violence. Maybe it's a high-functioning dysfunctional state. And maybe it's not worth comparing it to Russia, because there's a lot of differences in play. Okay, so modern Russia is...
