  1. Alternate Migrations general discussion

    WI: "Romanians" as descendants of paleo-Balkanic speakers? What if language of ATL Romanians is similar to Albanian (so it is either Illyrian, Thracian or Dacian)? I think in such case theory of Illyrian origin of Albanians would not be that popular (not that it would not exist) because of...
  2. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    That would certainly help. Maybe the excesses of the revolutionaries might move intellectual opinion towards a more Hobbesian position, where the existence of a strong central authority is seen as necessary to sustain order. Or else just have mixed constitutionalism be more popular amongst...
  3. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    No he didn't. - Goeben left from Pola (an Allied port) at the outbreak of war. - He sailed to Brindisi where the Italians refused to coal him as they were neutral. - He met up with Breslau near Taranto and proceeded to Messina where he partially re-coaled from German merchant ships. - He then...

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

    I shall just tweak it a tad and then it's all yours.
  5. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    The four government ministers who were injured in Ulster Volunteer attacks on Commonwealth Party constituency offices on 15 March 1884, had left hospital by 4 April. However Joseph Chamberlain's right arm was amputated, Thomas Rankin had to use a wheelchair, and Sarah Taylor needed to...

    Alternate Migrations general discussion

    You'd need a POD before the Frank confederation formed. And the result would have been slightly different tribal raiders with different names recorded by the Romans - possibly a mix of Franci, Frisii, and Euthiones ("Jutes"). Probably little difference to Gaul though the absence of Saxons moving...
  7. A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    Most definitely Richard in honour of Edmund's father

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Barthou was... necessary, after all Chernozemski was capable enough that complete failure was unlikely. Alexander surviving is going to be affecting things, but perhaps in a lesser manner than one would expect given certain other things... Even if they don't it is only a matter of time they...
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    I am sure that the vastly larger number of SOMUA S35 and Char B2s had a far greater influence regarding the up armouring of tanks than the handful of Matildas (77 Mk1s and 23 Mk2s in total) that were met - even in this TL. Panzer III Production was IIRC about 88 tanks built in Jan 41 while the...

    A Thorn In The Rose: A War Of The Roses TL

    probably richard instead of henry, as that is the name of the king they are trying to take down.
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 20 February 1941. Cairo. Egypt.

    20 February 1941. Cairo. Egypt. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, with Chief of the Imperial General Staff John Dill, had arrived from England the previous night. Having had a night’s rest, the two visitors met with Commander-in-Chief Middle East General Archibald Wavell, and...

    So what will the baby be called John or Henry

    Most definitely
  14. Khmer Rouge adopts Primitive communism

    OTL Khmer Rouge is far fetched. I mean we are talking about the guys who get the idea that people with glasses should be killed, based on the notion of "communism failed other places because of the resistance of the intellectuals, so we should kill the intellectuals. Who are the intellectuals...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    It was probably more denial. The Allies knew the general outline of the Holocaust - at least in the higher levels of government and there were even articles in popular media. That doesn't mean it's easy to accept. I believe an actual escapee of Auschwitz went to both FDR himself and the US...
  16. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Actually I think they would be bring up moral imperatives in 1942. Nanking Guernica Persecution of the jews Warsaw Rotterdam The Blitz The ghettos "Death marches" "We must defeat them before they inflict these horrors on us" The fact that we didn't really know the worst of it until afterwards...
  17. 1066: Year of the Conquest, and Beyond - Scandinavian England

    All very true is seems to me he will not have the same difficulties as OTL William the conqueror
  18. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Churchill pretty much considered the Nazi's in particular as morally abhorrent. They had demonstrated no compunction in bombing civilians in what were clearly intended to be literal terror raids which they boasted about, there was ample evidence of the way the Germans fought wars and treated...
  19. If Britain/France vs Germany/Italy goes on for many years, what moves do the Soviets make?

    French production rates were not sufficient to cater for French needs. The small countries need much more than shiny tanks, aircraft ans ships to say 'no' to a bully ten or twenty size bigger and live to tell about it. As for the OP - Soviets can probably just sit on their newly-captured...

    Wonderful! I’m glad to see that Edmund and Margaret are so blessed. Soon, there’ll be a child with both Yorkist and Lancastrian blood in its veins
