    Forgot about the other sons.

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

    It'll be later tonight before I get to it, I should think, but I will send you a message when it's done!
  3. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    Perhaps, although if a quarter-century of continent-spanning warfare didn't achieve this, I'm not sure a few more beheadings would. My impression is that, out of the famous Enlightenment-era political thinkers, Rousseau lends himself most to the sort of utopian, year-zero thinking evinced by...

    A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    Nothing concrete yet, though their fate should be revealed soon enough.

    If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    Italy only joined IOTL because France had collapsed, providing an easy venue for fulfilling irredentist aspirations on the border. In a scenario where France successfully holds the line, Mussolini will likely instead want to wait it out and see what happens, which, well, means Italy will remain...
  6. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I think it would be somewhat interesting to see Dill prevail and Greece to be called off but I doubt it will happen. Just genuinely never seen a TL go that way.
  7. Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    I am a bit disappointed about your killing Barthou, even if I understand your reasons. France keeping this competent and eastwards-looking foreign minister for a while longer would have had very interesting butterflies and I was looking forward to what you would have done with him. His survival...
  8. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    The British had a handful of Infantry battalions in Somalia along with a slightly larger number of Militia with obsolete weapons verses a far larger modern Italian force 'with tanks' A bad tank as the Japanese proved is far superior to no tank While there was fighting for the colony the...
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    6th British could be an interesting butterfly. IOTL they weren't (re)formed until the Syria-Lebanon campaign in June. Here the presence of the "extra" 9th (Highland) division after the 51st did not surrender seems to have freed up a division for a possible operation at Rhodes. Of course if...
  10. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    Hmm this is true, I wonder if the Terror had gone on longer, if that may have shifted perspectives.
  11. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    The whole Enlightenment/Age of Reason project was about reshaping society according to "rational" principles in order to make it work better. The French Revolution might have gone further and faster than most of the intelligentsia would have wanted, but they were still trying to move society in...
  12. A Second Wife, A Second Husband: A Tudor Timeline

    What do you have planned for Navarre?
  13. What's your favorite alternate ethnolinguistic situation for England?

    We may have Iranian England if 1. Scythians pushed by the Huns go North, assimilate Balts, Estoniand and Finns possibly 2. They develop seafaring tradition 3. They go to England 4. Done :)
  14. WI/PC: A Christian Japan

    I am extremely sceptical of most Christian Japan scenarios. The reason why the Jesuits found initial success in the late Sengoku period was because small lords in southern Kyushu had an interest in attracting Portuguese traders, as they brought valuable products such as firearms and Chinese...
  15. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Apart from the fact that as pointed out Souchon didn’t get coal from Italy or Greece, Italy being a member of the Triple Alliance would suggest it was less influenced by Britain. But OTL course of events would imply it was heavily influenced by British mercantile control. Neither Spain or...
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Obviously this wasn’t in the minds of the Allied leaders but with hindsight you don’t think it would have been justified to bomb innocent civilians as a part of the war effort even it meant Germany would win and enact Generalplan Ost (which called for the death and enslavement of 100+ million...
  17. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    Agreed, the fact that the terror and the revolution didn't lead to this otl has always baffled me.
  18. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    ....and the historical precedent (and of course the Marxist-Leninist dialectic) argues that the proletariat will rise up against their oppressors at the end of such a stalemated war. All USSR has to do is stretch the war out and wait.
  19. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    Not enough you say? Planned French production from May to August, which was being met. This doesn't include plans to set up production in the US and Canada in the coming months. The H39 was selected as the "Entente's" light tank for such military aid. The situation was similarly improving...
