  1. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    Well, it does prove that even if Star Trek gets a sequel series as we hypothesized previously, that Wrath of Khan gets made - even if it is a year later than in IOTL - and Spock is still enough of a fixture for his death to be as much of an impact.

    A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    Can't wait to see what happens in this timeline!
  3. How would interactions between a pagan Europe and America play out?

    Or possibly we get pagan monasteries? I am not sure I follow, why it is only Christianity that can have monks writing stuff down. Edit: also, with a PoD in 300 AD, then we also get no islam.
  4. A destiny fulfilled - An Eleanor of Austria TL

    I know, starting another TL (one for which I have no definite plan) while I have still a lot of work to do with Lotharingia is a bad idea. Still inspiration for this story hit me pretty hard and refuted to go away before I had written something for it. The unlucky Eleanor of Austria had always...
  5. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    The points about Chinese being unable or unwilling to travel or settle due to Confucianism, now let me look up the history of Chinese immigration in the 19th century.
  6. Your Personal Pop Culture Utopia timeline

    No current politics outside of Chat! Thanks.
  7. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    People would use it to commute, just like they use roads to commute. They'd use it for business trips, or trips home, or whatever. There are countless reasons people go on trips. Pretending that no-one would use it is bizarre, it's not like the plans are to build it in the middle of nowhere, the...
  8. Competent Austro-Hungarian military command.

    Pretty bad. They are pitted against a horribly outnumbered and outgunned Serbia, and lose, the Russians who are reacting to events further north. Bear in mind the Eastern Front in WW1 starts with the Russians losing two ( the best two in fact) field armies as a result of command incompetence on...

    AHC: Resurrection of Pantheistic Stoicism in the Middle Ages

    Does this have to be a properly Hellenic Stoicism (ASB) or can it be a Christian doxa? And if the latter, how practically distinct from orthodoxy does it have to be? Would it necessarily break from Rome / Constantinople, for example? Really, though, I think Stoicism requires a certain type of...
  10. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Yeah, but the thing is, you need to go through Turkey - and if you are doing that, why would you go through the ME? Heard of sarcasm? My point was that absent (or she lion I suppose - and we all know how probable that would have been) a nuke, there was no way to force the uk to sue for peace...

    GOP Sweep in 2000

    ...more nonwhites going GOP than OTL. Well, maybe you get a more economically moderate GOP since the realignment starts BEFORE any equivelant of the *tea party of OTL. Maybe the attempt to win CA leads to Bush doing a version of *Obamacare in 2005 or 2006 as a way to expand healthcare access...

    WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    Honestly, for all his strengths, Napoleon was no Bismarck and made too many enemies. I fear even this timeline has that problem. I do think he might gain a lot more support in The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in this one though. If he Didn't annex the Netherlands, and supported...

    WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    Either way, I think Edith and Wilson's doctor were wrong to not only deceive the public but also deceive Congress about the extent of Wilson's illness. Unlike FDR's paralysis or JFK's Addison's, Wilson's illness had a negative impact on his mental faculties and made him effectively unable to...

  16. Dunkirk disaster and Spain declares war on Britain.

    Nope. Not a chance Too many brainy people left Germany from 1933
  17. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    In the PAM TL the MB 3, 4 and 5 were ordered with different engines, the MB 3 being the Sabre engine one which was cancelled due to the Sabre being stopped. The MB 4 was ordered with the Monarch H24 engine and the MB 5 is designed for the RR Griffon but is still awaiting a flight ready engine...
  18. GOP Sweep in 2000

    What I find interesting is that this likely means that California and Illinois are considered in play for 2004. If theres a 6 point swing that means Gore only wins California by 6, and if they experience the OTL 2 point shift between 2000 and 2004, then that means Kerry (or whoever is the dem...
  19. George 1st in 1470

    Excluding the fact who the wedding of Edward of Westminster and Anne Neville was most likely consummated as the reasons for doing it are more than the ones for NOT doing it and also Anne’s treatment in the Lancastrian court made her more likely a wife from which were expected heirs than an...
