  1. British involvement in US Civil War

    Palmerston seems to have wanted to divide the US to prevent its rise as a challenger to British world influence. Had the British intervened, look for several potential countries to eventually emerge out of what are now Canada and the US.
  2. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Aside from the alternate designs being much less dense than Shuttle, thanks to their internal tanks, there is the matter of why Shuttle had such large wings in the first place. Many early designs had small wings (and internal tanks). But the military demanded wings with enough cross-range for...
  3. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    Mohammed Ash-Sheikh dies in the siege of Marrakesh in 1524, the Iberian Union maintains its foothold in Morocco and expands it over several generations pushing as far east as Tunis and as far south as Goa and Djenne. Spanish resources from Morocco turn the tide against the Portuguese Rebellions...
  4. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    I think you're a bit mistaken about Doris Day - she was arguably one of the the most successful and important female vocalists ever. If Grace Kelly managed even a quarter of the success that Doris Day had as a singer it would have been extraordinary.

    Threadmarks: CHAP 25 PART 2 - The Kingdom of Sweden in 1933 [II]

    The Kingdom of Sweden in 1933 CHAPTER 25, PART 2 After peace was made, it was time to address the elephant in the room: The King. His rule was extremely unpopular, and the fact that the Riksdag had to intervene to force him to agree to peace showed that he was both too stubborn and too weak...
  6. The Empire Parnell Built

    Seems kind of strange that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are separate nations. Did they go their own way after Quebec seceded from Canada?

    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I wonder if I can make this throwback request for an Oregon coat of arms from 2006: Shield: Argent, two wavy bars azure, issuant from the chief a demi-sun in splendor or. Crest: Upon a helm or with a wreath or and vert a Saint Edward's crown surmounted by the American imperial crest (a...

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    France has kind of become the butt monkey of this version of history at the expense of Romania, Andalusia and the Holy Roman Empire. That said, their situation isn't hopeless: France is still one of the more developed parts of Europe. It's just had more to fight through. Certainly Angland and...
  9. TL-191: After the End

    Corrected the reply to reflect the original post. The Mexican royal family were ATL descendants of both Agustin de Iturbide y Green and Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán.
  10. If grace keliy had stuck to acting

    She would have likely competed with actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Deborah Kerr for high profile roles into the early/mid 60s - they all had a very similar patrician image. Then her career would have dipped significantly as Hollywood was extraordinarily ageist, Hepburn virtually retired and...
  11. Albion, where the Sun never set

    Probably some formatting issue, I'll fix it
  12. AHC: Make Morocco part of "Europe" to an extent, like Turkey or Russia, with a POD past 1500 AD

    A bit of an extremely early pod but: The Ummayads don't manage to establish control over Morocco outside of the Rift (so they still manage to conquer much of Iberia), and the local Berber tribes remain Christian, then, when the Caliphate colapses, the region becomes a patchwork of christian...

  16. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Say, is the C.S. Air Force a component of the Army like the U.S. Army Air Corps IOTL? Or is it its own department?
  17. In a freak coincidence, both Stalin and Hitler die during the beginning of Operation Barbarossa

    History consists of the record and results of decisions by men. Changing the man will have consequences. The question is whether these changes are enough to change the ultimate outcome.

    Well if they talked proper bloomin' English I'd know that wouldn't I? ;)
  19. TL-191: After the End

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but your OP says the contrary--unless you have decided to retcon it since you posted it. By the way, is the Mexican Imperial Family ATL descendants of either Princes Agustin de Iturbide y Green or Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán, whom were adopted by Maximillian and...
  20. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938
    Threadmarks: Chapter XVII: Operation Nevsky, June-July 1953.

    And the war begins... Chapter XVII: Operation Nevsky, June-July 1953. The war would soon begin, but of course a believable casus belli was needed to sell the war to domestic audiences and motivate them to fight. Engineering such an incident or crisis for this purpose wasn’t that difficult as...
