  1. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    maybe the same as what is the case in the Netherlands with the 'Randstad' instead of 1 big city, a collection of smaller cities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randstad

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    I always imagined, in a scenario in which Syagrius defeats Clovis, that many of the defeated Franks would concentrate within what we call the Netherlands, leading to that country being called France :rolleyes: . As for the country we call France, the alternative is easy - Jaille, due to this...
  3. Keeping the British Liberal Party flag flying high

    The Hoff administration withdrew American forces from Vietnam in February 1969. Troops of the People' Republic of Vietnam invaded the Republic of Vietnam. Their capture of Saigon on 6 April 1969 marked the end of the war. At the Geneva Conference in March 1969, a peace agreement was...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Well it's not as if they had democratic control of their state. And anti-colonial movements such as Little England and that justifications were needed for colonialism (such as bringing civilization) shows that Imperialism were not that popular. Why would people want their soldiers dying in a...

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    I don't know if someone proposed Helvetia instead of Switzerland... Also the official name Confoederatio Helvetica gives an hint
  6. AHC: Maori-plurality/majority New Zealand

    Got me wondering... since the Maori have perhaps the largest indigenous population of any developed Western settler-colonial state (excluding Peru or Mexico, since they're poor) could we see them stay the majority in New Zealand? Or even a plurality? Seems like they got the best (__least bad__)...
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    More importantly in this timeline. What is the difference that makes the the British choose to assault Rhodes when they did not find a reason in OTL. Discussions seem to be wether it is a good idea or not but they apply just as much to OTL so what is the difference here? Tanks are not going to...
  8. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    I can't say I'm expert on which materials were available when and how they're affected by different fuels, but this makes sense. Engines do need to be designed toward whatever fuel they are going to use. That's one of the reasons that the country settled on one type of fuel, rather than having...
  9. List of US Presidents, 1960 to 2020

    ...for my Millennial ass to grow up in. I call it Paleocon Nightmare World: 1992: Bill Clinton/Al Gore, def. George H.W. Bush/Dan Quayle (as OTL) * Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks earlier, denting Clinton's popularity from the start * Seeing opportunity, Ross Perot ditches the reform party and...
  10. AHC: Earliest Possible Philippine Independence (American Period)

    Not really possible. US had already granted the Philippines considerable autonomy-- I'd say they were the "least evil" of all other colonial powers-- and I don't think they'd gain independence any earlier than what was planned for in the 1940s.
  11. DBWI Alexander III of Macedon victorious at Gaugamela

    I wonder what happens to the perdiccas dynasty. IOTL they took over the Macedonian empire after killing the conspirators and spent the next few centuries kneecapping the Persians before the Armenians took them out. I know they were really prominent during the period
  12. That Wacky Redhead

    By sheer coincidence, I watched "The Man Trap" just last night, the day before I finished reading the original content of this thread.
  13. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Ah, I see, so what would become with Anna of Austria?
  14. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    There was certainly stronger American opposition to the treatment of the Native Americans than that by Nazi officials to treatment of pretty much anyone... yeah, I can agree on that. Well yeah, but then that was the motive for the German invasion of the Soviet Union, wasn't it? He had an...
  15. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Philip III would NEVER be born here as Mary Tudor would live until late 1570s butterflying also Philip’s fourth wedding
  16. Thousand-Week Reich - A 'realistic' Nazi victory scenario

    After the rework it (as in the USSR directly) probably can, right now it is just flavors of communism and the diumvirate.

    DBWI Alexander III of Macedon victorious at Gaugamela

    Which was very short anyway, it wasn't long before Alexander was killed by his own men and a negotiated withdrawal back to Macedonia was accomplished.
  18. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    I think that being in Portugal could help him make it to 50s-60s, as the mild climate was said to be the best for his overall health and he even might try to rule whole union from Lisbon, as it was proposed IOTL to Philip III (who would be another boring infante here)
  19. Mary Tudor bears a son and lives till age 60

    Carlos surviving is a pretty great thing and is a likely scenario if he has married Elisabeth and Netherlands are NOT ruled anymore by Spain as that were the biggest reasons of conflict with his father. His children by Elizabeth are unlikely to inherit his health troubles and Portugal will be...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    North America isn't comparable to Eastern Europe, 90% of American Indians died to small pox, and had a low population density compared to Latin American and Eastern Europe. This made it easy for European immigrants to become the demographic majority as the US expanded west. US policy of...
