  1. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Sigismund II never had any legitimate child in OTL despite three marriages. And he had no known bastard. He is commonly believed to be infertile. Also Elizabeth Tudor is sometimes theorized to be infertile too, though it is of course quite unclear considering uncertainties about her sex life...
  2. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    for real O.O wow, just wow
  3. God Owes Phillip II Twenty Bucks

    I definitely agree with that. Henri IV never was a religious leader. He was a political leader, no more no less. Actually, many French Protestants disliked him because of his opportunism and lack of devotion and they saw his first cousin the Prince de Condé (brother of the Cardinal de Vendôme)...
  4. Challenge the Keep British empire together after World War I

    Make WWI short enough to ensure it doesn't challenge the image of Europe Supreme and have it resolve in such a way that Germany gets few or no overseas colonies while Britain is never defeated in the field. Maybe have French evacuate the BEF in August 1914 before Kitchener can stop him with...
  5. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Interestingly enough, Constantine XI is actually descended from Enrico Dandolo via his mother.
  6. AHQ: earliest possible heavy plow and horse collar

    When at the earliest can the heavy plough be invented and become widespread across Eastern Europe? @John7755 يوحنا
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    As @Mattll said they're not that much more successful and by 1943 Germany was clearly losing. In '41 the Turk's have Nazi's on the back doorstep and Britain down to one small island. Obviously things will change but right now is to early for Turkey to pick a side. Also driving them...
  8. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Sort of surprised that the world tour at the end seemed to cover the Americas, Europe and Africa but didn't really deal with the Countries in Asia and Oceania other than China itself.
  9. AHC - Best Case Scenario for Poland Post-WW1

    Poland gains traction in its idea for a common military alliance among eastern European states in 1919, defeats the Soviet offensives in 1920 piecemeal, and encourages a DIY liberation in the Ukraine (perhaps by knocking off and mass-producing [and further developing?] MP-18s). Poland is seen...

    Map Thread XX

    Inspired by B_Munro's Reign of the Superpowers, I have created another ASB map with a different set of powers. I do not exactly followed the previous creations' profiles but here's the border sources: - Great Britain from B_Munro's The Reign of George VI, 1900-1925 - Brazil from Isaac Beach and...
  11. The Third Rome - A Byzantine Timeline

    Carthago Roma delenda est!
  12. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Ah, the pseudo morality argument with a dosage of practical reality. Medical Supplies and education can only go so far - and can only foster actual goodwill, but, when people are literally willing to fight and die, and also willing to kill in order to get what they believe is a better future...
  13. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    When prince Afonzo of Portugal died, the dowry of Isabella of "Spain" was returned to the catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella. I believe by 1491. If Afonzo lives, how would spanish finances be affected? Would the reconquist take longer? Obviously Columbus leaves empty handed,
  14. AHC: Socrates becomes a god

    Not as far as I recall: he used to be widely respected as a saintly and wise man in Muslim tradition (though not universally) but I am not aware of a subtradition where he is specifically seen as a direct recipient of Revelation. However, it would be relatively easy for Muslim doctrine to...
  15. Fuzzy Dunlop

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    FIREFOX DOWN Would love to have seen a follow up to the original 1982 classic, again directed and starring Clint Eastwood. The original doubled it's costs at the box office but was panned by most critics (this was before Tom Clancy inspired films became mainstream) so would suffer the same...
  16. Germans Take Ypres, 1916

    Given the Somme itself was an attempt to divert* German resources from their main operation at Verdun, the scope for Germany to then devote resources to do the same back in kind to the Somme and with some significant gain made doing so, is unlikely. *and given how costly the Somme was that's...
  17. Bonapartism still relevant after Franco-Prussian War?

    Did the Spanish want him to marry their princesses? A Bonapartist-Carlist cause?
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    It's confusing but I think Castelorizzo was Operation Abstention, the attack on Rhodes was Operation Cordite, the overall operation was Mandible and as you correctly say the attack of Karpathos / Carpathos / Scarpanto was Armature. Other code names were Allowance (Leros), Consumption...
  19. Islam and the West African Coast?

    iOTL, it appears that Islam's spread in Africa "almost" reached the southern coast of Western Africa before the Western Europeans reached there. Was this a case of simply not enough time (if the Europeans hadn't arrived for another 100 years, it would have) or were there more specific reasons...
  20. WI Germany goes South in operation Barbossa

    Moscow is the major transportation hub, Leningrad is the major industrial center remaining west if the Urals and the only Soviet center able to repair electricity-generating turbines. Initiate Operation Eisenhammer from the start of the invasion and take these two sites to neutralize a great...
