    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Thank you all for your condolences, they're very much appreciated. I'm on a good number of drugs right now and so I don't think I'll be able to write for a while. If anyone has anything they'd like to say or post (semi-canon, maybe?), I'd welcome it, this thread is the best I've done in my...
  3. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    A country with 1 million people and whose economy is still mostly based around animal herding, mind. The economic base just isn't there to be any sort of military threat.
  4. The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    Henry VIII did not marry Mary due to her claim on the English throne due to Henry not having a legitimate song until Jane Seymour. But let's say Charles IX of France and Mary the first of England married than there son could inherit a duel Kingdom with France as the senior partner until the...
  5. Could a Communist Romania lead to a Trotskyist Russia?

    I've always been curious about the impact of a Trotskyist USSR on world history. However, reading over the board the general consensus seems to be that his love for debating kind of worked against his ability to make allies. But what if his support for spreading the revolution was vindicated...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Don't know why it is entitled HMS Roberts, when the commentary clearly states it is HMS Terror.
  7. The Eden-Dirksen Pact: A Deal With the Devil?

    They will. What I'm trying to ask is would it be a lower death count than Stalin's? The repression of Europe meant people died and it wasn't all peace and light. Economic blockade? Espionage? Sponsor insurrection? Pretty similar to the Western Powers in OTL during the Cold War. I'm not...
  8. AHC: Cold War between Religious Communism and Atheist Capitalism

    What if some evolution of the French Revolution where it becomes wildly successful and its own ideology of Bourgeoisie Reason that sticks around, becoming even more atheistic over time which produces religiously inspired communal backlash?
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It seems obvious that many folks on the Allied side, both soldiers and politicians, viewed their struggle as, at least partially, a moral one against evil. This is, of course, hardly uncommon in war, but they did believe it.

    McGoverning

    Was re-reading and this quote amused me - in 1966 Connally spent so long dithering on filing for re-election as Governor that then-Texas AG Waggoner Carr drafted two press releases, one for him running for the Senate and one for him running for Governor. Which is not to say that he would ever...
  11. Austria-Hungary consulted italy.

    Because art.7 cover also increase of influence and everybody knows that A-H want to put on Serbia a more pliable goverment.
  12. Revival of Mongolia as a military power

    I sont see how a country with 1 million people could pose a threat to china no matter how many weapons they accrue. Also the soviets have no reason to give Mongolia nukes.
  13. WI: Richard II Has a Henry VIII Type Succession Scenario

    With the POD in 1380s (idk when the first child of Anne of Bohemia would be born) there are almost no chances for Elizabeth of Luxembourg to marry Richard's son (this would be possible only if she had living brother) and there is no guarantee that she'd be even born - Sigismund's son by first...

    Population is too low for that

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    It does! It be even greater if Henry and Francis actually went there themselves! An English and French man Vs the Incas!
  16. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    But after the peace of Carlowitz (1699, IIRC), the Turks not only gave up Hungary, but also had to start diplomacy with Euro countries, leading to them being part of the Concert of Europe, at least de facto, in the nineteenth century.

    List of Alternate Monarchs and Aristocratic Lineage

    Wasn’t Anne de Beauja dead set on her daughter marrying Charles Bourbon? Even if he’s dead I doubt they’d let her marry a Habsburg.
