  1. WI: Britain Keeps Michigan and Wisconsin Territory If America Still Goes Independent?

    I don't see how being "out settled" by Americans would matter. Tons of Americans settled in Western Canada. They very quickly became loyal Brits. I think a lot of Americans who have lived their whole lives in the US can't imagine anyone American ever not being highly nationalistic, but that's...
  2. Heirs of Heraclius, a no Islam timeline

    (Finally a map of china pre Red turban rebellion circa 825)
  3. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Spacedock! And, wow. I was worried about scratching the walls putting something down it, but I really didn’t process how wide the ET is. Huh.

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    You mean, 'be the backstabber' since they were a CP member
  5. WI: Warsaw Pact armies if USSR liberalizes

    With Stalin wanting what needed getting done after 1927. Stalin *tailended* the majority nomenklatura line most effectively and relied on junior party alliances to know what was happening on the ground and whom in the PC/PB he could liquidate with party approval. Stalin rode the tiger. He...

    What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Well that's the problem; the situation you described -- rogue factions, religious runaways, Cortezes, prison colonies -- is the Western way of doing things and it presumes Western sensibilities regarding culture and government (in fact, that's actually only the British way, mainly because...
  7. AHC: Resurrection of Pantheistic Stoicism in the Middle Ages

    Of course Christianity mattered and was the entire basis of the medieval worldview. But worldviews can change, especially over a thousand years of history. It's a pretty ridiculous comparison to a single already existing person changing within the span of a single lifetime.
  8. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I respect what the remake Freddy makeup was trying to do. Namely having Freddy have more realistic burn scars than the classic “pizza-face” look. Any hypothetical remake/reboot should return Freddy to the mostly creepy with a touch of humour characterization of the first movie. I’m all for...
  9. Rommel goes to trial.

    Lol. In all seriousness there were conspiracy theories (and a movie) that claimed Patton's death was an assassination not an accident so I think if the Nazis had killed Rommel and his family and claimed it was the allies similar conspiracy theories would have emerged that would have turned out...
  10. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    The Embassy v. Hanna-Barbera case was settled out of court in 1984. That's what led in part to Eastland Girls going to the public domain. With Abbott now employed by the Disney corporation, he's got both his personal lawyer and the Disney legal team on his side. So it's pretty much a sure thing...

    Down in Dixie: CSA Victory TL

    The internal improvements at a federal level seem unlikely as this was a policy not liked in the antebellum south. I think any improvements would be done at a state level not federal. I could see states governments wanting to have as much power as possible leaving a small federal government in...
  12. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    I don't know. You may be right. I personally doubt that the Spanish would refuse to sell Goeben coal. What is in it for the Spanish to pick sided in a war they want to avoid? This was the height of lasie faire capitalism. The British were selling battleships to foreign powers. Compared to...
  13. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    That's nothing new. But that Poland would not be possible without atleast some Entente approval, for the very simple reason that it would not have survived the 1918-1920 without Entente's help wrt food, medicines, weapons and other supplies, not to mention the transfer of the Blue Army...
  14. An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    Yeah a lot of the Inca's culture and society stuck around until a rebellion in the 1780's or 60's or thereabouts cuased Spain to put its foot down on Inca culture.
  15. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, are Berkshire Hathaway, Orion Pictures, and Lou Schiemer going to hear from Daniel Abbott's attorneys soon? While were at it, how did the lawsuit between Embassy Pictures and Hanna-Barbera go?
  16. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I kind of figured Englund couldn't juggle that many movies, when he's already a regular on ST:TNG -- but he does enjoy playing villains. Maybe he can squeeze in some voice acting work to scratch that itch? In that case I'm pretty sure he'd end up involved with "Gargoyles", considering how many...

    WI: Britain Keeps Michigan and Wisconsin Territory If America Still Goes Independent?

    Question - was this as a result of a request from the colonial administration in Québec? As a way of getting Westminster to honor the Quebec Act, 1774?
  18. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Apologies for being so late, but many thanks!
  19. The Forge of Weyland

    Any native English speaker who comes to the UK from overseas will tell you that the English can't speak English.

    Finland was part of Russia but was autonomous, whereas Khiva and Bukhara were separate countries, but under Russian vassalage
