  1. The Sun of Rocroi TL- A better Grand Condé

    “Nowhere” is a popular geographic area in world’s literature and more modern form of art: audience’s assumed unfamiliarity with the area gives author a complete freedom of insanity ( just two examples: “ Tamburlaine the Great” and movie “Genghis Khan” made in 1965). For all practical purposes...
  2. AHC More powerful British Monarchy

    Even then I don’t think of james i ascends it’s too late to keep the Monarchs power

    Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    If Washington falls (and the 'if' is basically a 'once' by now), even if the British do get favourable terms I am not so sure they would make a separate peace with total victory quite near.
  4. Timeline Elevator Pitch: Stuck with The Right Stuff

    The Bay of Pigs invasion would need to be successful too for a tempered cold war and space race.

    Explain the AH Quote

    (OOC: I know the post was edited, but I thought I might aswell do it anyways.) Quote from the communist gangster, writer, and politician Mao Zedong (1893-1949), about the state of China, which had since the bloody and messy failed revolution of 1912, become an authoritarian, corporatist, and...
  6. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    Even if Stalin had no intention of attacking Germany, the Soviets would have plans for the contingency. As to what POD you need, it's all in Stalin's head. If he guesses Hitler is about to strike, he could strike first. The Germans would be screwed of course. Without the appalling casualties...
  7. British involvement in US Civil War

    Another problem would be the Union's (un)willingness to accept explicit foreign help. Needing external support to put down a rebellion is not a good look for any country, particularly not in the prestige-obsessed 19th century.
  8. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Yeesh...he looks like a Ginger Narn!

    WI: Reagan wins the GOP nomination in 76, loses to Carter

    Conservatives rally around Connally in 1980 since he was a tough-talker and was liked by them despite being a pro-choice social/economic moderate.

    Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    A general sufficiently competent to do so would be competent enough to advise the Emperor of the nation's unreadiness for conflict, even if he personally wishes to punish Serbia.

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    That would be a prime candidate for an earlier thread: "Did you really think modern audiences would love that? challenge: make a movie or tv franchise as cringeworthy as possible"
  12. TL-191: After the End

    During the first generation after the end of the SGW, both the USA and Germany acted aggressively to prevent intervention proliferation, with US efforts directed against the Japanese Empire and German efforts directed against the Russian Empire. This admittedly loosely-coordinated US-German...
  13. WI Larger and better Poland pre ww2 Effects?

    Sure. Then we have a classical partition of Poland - there is no conceivable way Germany would accept the loss of prussia. What you are more likely to see is a Germany that accepts its a junior partner of the Soviets at which point there isn't a Poland anymore.

    WI: Reagan wins the GOP nomination in 76, loses to Carter

    The GOP would be way moderate than OTL, probably embracing a Rockefeller-style one-nation conservatism like the British Conservative Party. Bush is elected in 1980 and 84' and is suceeded by his VP (perhaps Dole?) in 88'.

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

    Technically, she was thirty-eight when she had her last living child. Jean lived a few months, at least... She's only 29 here. She's got time. Not much of it. But she has got time.
  16. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Death Wish VI: We The People The movie opens with Kersey being acquitted of a vigilante murder by a sympathetic jury, following an off-screen trial. Kersey then decides to parlay his newfound fame into a run for Governor of California, on a law-and-order platform. This catches the unhappy...
  17. Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    I made one, it's somewhere in my tank file and I believe Claymore made one too.
  18. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    We may see larger settlements of rogue Imperial factions, religious splinter groups, treashre seekers, and prison colonies that eventually grow into viable polities along the West Coast. Native states, especially in the Andes, may resist heavily to the greatest extent possible but still adopt...
  19. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    That would certainly greatly strengthen her position. But, well, in OTL she only managed one girl in two marriages, and she was already 36 when she had little Jeanne... hopefully, she will get a little luckier in her alt-marriage !
