    The JABB Project - One Borderpool to Rule Them All
    Threadmarks: The Introduction

    Hello all, Jake here. As I've slowly been working up the dedication necessary to begin this project, I figured that it would be prudent of me to post here and have the AH community to encourage and critique this work. Therefore, I'm happy to introduce my planned magnum opus: Jake's Absolutely...
  2. Map Thread XX

    I'm working on my map-timeline, titled "Wind Will Not Cease" (after the famed Mao Zedong quote). The POD is that in the 1970s, Wang Hongwen and the Gang of Four assume power in China, and continue both the cultural revolution at home and the spread of socialism abroad. This accelerates various...
  3. WI: Agustín de Iturbide declares himself president instead of emperor?

    Iturbide was never going to be successful as the autocrat of Mexico; he was simultaneously too radical for the Criollio and Peninsulare establishment who really just wanted the Bourbons back while being practically reactionary to the Mestizo, Mulatto, and Indigenous populace who had been the...
  4. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Can I save "STTMP" with a whole new script & cast, instead of the megabuck remake of "The Changeling" they decided to do? I'd suggest a sequel to "A Private Little War", "A Piece of the Action" (if you'll accept some comedy), or "Doomsday Machine". I'd leave "WOK" for the second film, because...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    USSR got one Freebie with Cuba. And no, they wouldn't risk WWIII over any client in the Americas
  6. Explain the AH Quote

    a quote from historian Alanquez Zanzibar on the Mexican Social Winds of 1920 - 1939. It was the Russian Empire's missionaries who managed to convert the Mexican leadership. "Seeing the Saudis as a potential liability in Arabia, NATO and allies arranged for Hussein III to have a nastily little...

    AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    Because the Steel Companies didn't want to replace the 1910-1920s era Bessemer Plants with the new basic oxygen process plants that were developed after WWII. Japan had to replace near every single steel plant, as LeMay wrecked all of them in 1945. Building new, you would use the most current...

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

    I had my own idea for a POD to have the Coolidge Administration deregulate railroads more earnestly. Though of course it's very much a WIP.
  10. The United Americas: A More Perfect Union Thread

    Just read through this and am happy to say it’s one of the best Ameriwanks in all of Alt history.
  11. Socialist/communist USA, is it possible, and likeliest time period to arise?

    Why? Stalin was strongly racist and particularly anti-Sematic , Pol Pot was racist. IIRC Mao was racist as well.
  12. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    The administrations and its successors that will build it in that time period should be willing to do so. With that out of the way is the US goverment to fund this willingly and make this government owned. as this is not as cheap and profitable as regular railway

  14. The Plantagenet Succession

    It was on occasions, mainly with Baronies, so I tweaked it a bit. You'll see why later. I didn't actually know that! You learn something new every day... :D Not yet shown up. In England, I've only just hit 1500 - he's got time!

    John II, The Last Tudor King

    Not going to elaborate excessively, but... Henry VIII 1509-1547 Edward VI “The Mad” 1547-1554 Integrium 1554-1553 John II “The Usurper” 1554-1557 Line of the Johanians 1557-1591 Henry IX “The Restorationist” 1591-1617 That is all I will show for now...
  16. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Are we talking now? Because if so, I’m in total agreement. But I think there’s a window in the 1930-1950 timeframe where they might possible on a limited scale given a different direction on federal government funding. That said, I don’t think it’s particularly probable and if the interstate...

    Chronicle of the Kings of Britain: A New Tenth Century

    That last part is definitely going to affect the Cymrian military. It's good to keep in mind that even now, only a small portion of the army that Dafydd led were his professional retainers also known as "teulu". The rest are basically a well trained militia. The deaths of so many nobles will...

    Threadmarks: Vive La France - by Eglantine Delacour.

    An excerpt from Vive La France - Published January 9, 2004, by Eglantine Delacour. Having served as Charles' co-regents, the Duke and Duchess of Bourbon held enough influence to hinder the succession of Louis XII. They made a clever bargain with him: for the Bourbon support of his accession...

    Der Kampf: The Rise and Fall of the Austrian Führer

    Thanks! I feel Rommel will make the odd appearance here and there. He’ll even have the occasional POV segment but he won’t be a major character as of now in my roadmap. Rommel will remain apart of the German Army, going from the Reichswehr to the reborn Imperial Army. He will rise far, but not...
  20. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    In one of my freshman-level history classes, the professor said that Europe's railroads are better than US's because their old railroad system was destroyed in World War II, so they build a more modern one. How true is that? And is a mid-20th century railroad easier to convert to a high speed...
