    The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    Turns out Lizzie died first, but the POD could be her living. There could be an alliance between the two though. This is much more likely, Henry VII wouldn't want to upset the Catholic Monarchs so this is more likely. No way. There'll be a peace between England and France but not between...
  2. Osman Reborn; The Survival of Ottoman Democracy [An Ottoman TL set in the 1900s]

    A tad but I find it's best to be blunt about these matters
  3. British "Civilization"

    Has mostly been the case for past 4-500 years. UK has always been seen as more seperate from continental europe than most other european countries.
  4. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    Short of London pulling a "doomsday" solution and just pulling out of NI then they will have to have worked with Dublin so I doubt that. And to be fair plenty of Unionists/Tories held such a view of the Republic during the Troubles anyway.
  5. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    They're literally using a corridor as a science lab, space is obviously at a premium, the space needed for your suggested deluxe omelette maker would likely be better suited to storage for more zappable food rations.

    Blue Skies in Camelot: An Alternate 60's and Beyond

    He'll create a Great Society over there eh?

    Sodomy non Sapiens!?
  8. The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    @RedKing With the Marriage between Elizabeth and Charles, would there be an alliance between the two? Or simply a peace? Although Catherine of Aragon was betrothed to Arthur Tudor (the English heir), and later married his younger brother Henry so I suppose there would be peace between all three...
  9. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.
    Threadmarks: 18 February 1941. Giarabub, Libya.

    18 February 1941. Giarabub, Libya. The Italian outpost had been something of a thorn in the flesh of the British forces in Egypt. There was a garrison of 1,340 Italian and 800 colonial troops, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Salvatore Castagna, the last Italian outpost in Cyrenaica and...

    How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Not exactly but in the sense that a phony war over the channel is unavoidable in an unlikely temporary truce where France remains occupied. Every month that the Luftwaffe is not bombing British cities or that u-boats are not disrupting shipping is a month for the UK to continue rebuilding its...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Also allows for a force in being. Even if Crete is only hosting three dozen old Wellington's they can still pound the Romanian oil fields if unchecked. That forces Germany to keep a load of 109's or 190's in the area to counter them that aren't deployed in the East or say over Hamburg where the...
  12. Pull a Meiji reatoration on Qajari Persia before Russia wrecks them

    Wasn't there a TL exploring just that? I cannot remember the name sadly.

    A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well Mr Hart you keep your nose clean now the rumours are flying. But Hart for President please! Doesn't Mr Bush have some skeletons in his closet? Wasn't Jr. behaviour about this time fairly embarrassing? Had George Takei stood again for any office? @Geekhis Khan
  14. British "Civilization"

    Anyway you could have a British "Civilization" similar to how Russia and other associated Eastern European Countries are sometimes viewed as there own distinct entity from the West. With Anglosphere or just the United Kingdom being viewed as related but separate cultural entity from Western...
  15. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    I just don't see a deal on the table that would satisfy Hitler and the UK. Hitler won't want to retreat from Western Europe. He'd also want guarantees that the UK won't step back in when he attacks the USSR. The UK won't accept such terms.

    The son of Anne of Brittany and Charles 8th lives?

    True, I got that one wrong. Though there will be a pause for quite some time.

    I'm always dubious of "Song industrializes" TLs because they always tend to project 18th century British industrialization onto 12th century China. Aside from the fact that the actual institutional of industrial society would never be a permanent thing in China, recognizable industrialization...
  18. What if during the 1980's troubles Ireland was united but "committed" a terrifying bombing and Britain declared war on Ireland

    I think it MIGHT work if the Ireland is run by some sort of fanatical nationalist government that blames the UK for any ongoing Loyalist rebellion in the Republic, and is, if not the direct sponsor of IRA retaliation, then at the very least a major cheerleader for it, and refuses to prosecute...
  19. AHC: Defend the Falklands

    I don't totally disagree but I have read several papers that essentially say that Argentina did a good job using the air assets they had given the circumstances they faced. I suspect some issues such as reportedly not having large stock piles of retarded (high drag) bombs are unlikely to be...
