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

    People seem to be wrapped up in HSR because they are more "modern and shiny" but they are very much a niche in the US. Outside the NEC (and a few small areas) the US simply doesn't have remotely the population density to support it. Metro transit is far less of a niche. Although cities are too...

    Tudor Twins - a Tudor AU
    Threadmarks: 01

    Hi! This is going to be my first thread on this site so I hope it's good. I'm still not that intelligent when it comes to Tudor history but I promise i'm trying my best :) I'm going to base this timeline off of the possibility that Mary I "Bloody Mary" has a twin brother that lives until 1580...
  3. Andrew Boyd: Duke of Dank

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

    That's something lots of people pushing for HSR in the US seem to forget at times, unfortunately.
  4. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Ignoring moral issues is unwise. There is no harm, and great gains to be made, from considering the moral issues involved in something as deadly as war. Even if your conclusion is 'Well, it needed to be done', it is good to look at it and discuss it. Much healthier for society.
  5. WI: Philip II dies in 1199 and Richard I lives until 1215?

    One of the great lords of France, Baldwin of Flanders/Hainaut probably since he is Louis' uncle. And during the Regency Baldwin will probably reclaim the county of Artois which was given as a dowry when his sister married Philip. he'd try to squeeze out as much as possible out of the Capetians...

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    In a military sense Saddam was absolutely right, they could absolutely blast the Iranian air force and take Khuzestan easily. His newer T-72s and upgraded T-55s would make short work of what armoured vehicles Iran had left, especially considering the better command and control technology Iraq...

    AH Challenge: Change the Belgian Revolution into a revolution seeking a democracy in the UK of the Netherlands.

    So basically change the belgian revolution into becoming a revolution for democracy in the UK of the Netherlands and not a revolution seeking an independent Belgium.
  8. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It was also literally a single bloody incident and there's really no way of actually knowing if that single incident caused a single case of small pox (versus any number of alternate possible vectors for the disease at the time). It's sort of a weird historical meme where the generally bad...

    And that in British North America, by British officers, decade before the Revolution.
  10. WI: Hebrew goes extinct

    Before the modern era, there was no such thing as a "common language" for Jews (yes, at some point a large majority, but nowhere close to ALL of them spoke Yiddish). Also it's likely that things proceed more or less as IOTL and one of the dialects gets preferred.

    WI: Atari 7800 released in 1984

    Wish Bushnell had never been constrained by his no-compete clause. So many ideas that ended up being delayed until they were too late: cheaper arcade machines via exchanging the boards rather than buying a whole machine, a crude Teddy Ruxpin, pushing tech rather than relying on old gear and...
  12. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There’s no need to even touch on the issue of morality regarding the bombing of Germany. The war making capabilities of Nazi Germany needed to be attacked, the only way to attack them was with strategic bombers, and the only way strategic bombing at the time had any chance at succeeding was with...

  14. Alternate Vienna Congress: Independent Poznan and Prussian Saxony

    I’ve created a timeline where Prince Karl of Hohenzollern Sigmarian becomes King of Poznan in the Vienna Congress. Prussia would not accept just giving up Poznan and is given Saxony. Vienna Congress 1815, Prussia annexes all Saxony, Karl, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmarian becomes King of...
  15. WI: Hebrew goes extinct

    Will Jews worldwide be able to communicate with each other without a common language?

    Negroes was the polite word at one time.
  17. Al Grito de Guerra: the Second Mexican Revolution

    Every update just ramps up tension and foreshadows ominously. When the top finally blows off and the civil war goes hot, it’s going to be bad.

    The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    Spanish repression was especially violent in the upper classes of Portuguese society. The simple peasant or the craftsman of a small town did not suffer repression, except for the war and the passage of the troops themselves. But there is still a certain economic, social and national instability...
  19. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Compared to the Nazi's , the western Allies surely were the good guys. Where they without sin? No. But they largely fought within the rules of war that applied during the war. Even most of the bombing was within those rules.

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

    Yep. Furthermore, the NYNH&H, in its bid to be a monopoly transport provider in New England (which thankfully got blocked in the courts), over-extended itself through buying/leasing as many companies as possible and building a shite-ton of track, so as a result many of the railroad companies in...
