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

    Will Henry marry Mary Talbot? If he does, I hope she does better in the child sweepstakes than Catherine did...
  2. Striving for a world transformed by justice and peace - a TL from 1827

    Esther and Megan first made love on 11 February 1875, Megan's 18th birthday. They gave each other pleasure with their mouths and hands, stimulating each other to clitoral orgasm. Megan wanted to wait until she was 18 years old. They have been living together in the same house in Swansea...
  3. WI: Albert Einstein, President of Israel

    Not really. When Abba Eban, the Israeli ambassador to the US, offered him the post, Einstein wrote in his reply that he was "at once saddened and ashamed" he could not accept it and that he had "neither the natural ability nor the experiences necessary" to fill the role. (1) source...

    I thought we were talking about "Wokeness", not canceling. How does Disney going down get rid of social justice as a concept?

    Is it possible to avoid the catastrophic economic and demographic fallout from the USSR collapse

    Err, what? Granted my knowledge of the period isn't great but as I understood things the British government never went in and confiscated local's crops as policy but the opposite in that they maintained a laissez-faire attitude of not intervening at all. This might not be such a bad thing. It...

    Oh, such a interesting timeline! Watched!
  7. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    ...on it. In reality there's no evidence at all that this happened, and the story probably stemmed from anti-Wilson propaganda ("oh no, there's a *woman* in charge!") that morphed into pro-Wilson hagiography as the culture changed ("rock on, they had a *woman* in charge!"). Still it makes for a...

    in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Hunter-gatherers don't fare well when they run into expanding agriculturalists. Anyways, I was thinking more of tendencies towards prudery/technocratic social engineering on the part of the descendents of the puritans/quakers in my saying the world would have been better of if they'd been sent...

    Oh, Henry, Henry, just after treating Catherine terribly, you are already about to take a new mistress.
  11. A New Britain - A British Political TL (1995-)
    Threadmarks: 2010-2011

    Post Election Reaction As the Labour Party were coming into power for their fourth term, Tony Blair was not only the longest serving Prime Minister this country has ever had but he had won four general elections. This was huge, winning four elections in a row is huge for the Labour Party and...

    Nobody. Who'd want to be associated with a brand tainted by association with white nationalist violence in the atl? If it's not legal to fire/demote people for their online posts/outside work behavior/beliefs, witch hunting loses it's appeal since people wouldn't get results. You'd still have...
  13. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Well, I remember reading at one point many Australians were almost proud of the criminal background of their families and very savvy about the issue of the criminalization of poverty. And yet . . . Many of these same persons treated aboriginal persons like shit. And when there were a large...

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France
    Threadmarks: Section XL -February 1522

    St-Germain-de Laye, February 1522 “I’m seeing the Portuguese Ambassadors after Mass tomorrow,” Francis stretches languidly as he speaks and smirks at Marie as she glances up from the headdress she is embroidering for Margot, “It appears that, unlike his father, Joao knows better than to support...
  15. Greece came close to become nuclear power

    Wait they have nukes, sins when.
  16. Rommel goes to trial.

    No need even for a bomb crater, or the destruction of Rommel’s home. Somebody like Henk Feldmeijer died when an allied airplane strafed his car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henk_Feldmeijer If the German news claims that Rommel and his family were killed when an allied plane riddled their...

    AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    AIUI that was not true iOTL It was the MB4 and MB3 that were similar airframes with different engines (Griffon replacing Merlin) The MB5 was a new design also Griffon but many other changes
  18. AHC: Stalin Strikes First

    If you don't want the extra-terrestrial mammals, I would also propose a scenario where France defeats the German invasion and it becomes a stalemate. Stalin probably invades once the Western Allies have pushed to the German borders. But even then it won't be a full-fledged war but a strong kick...
  19. How would interactions between a pagan Europe and America play out?

    The Romans could be religiously intolerant. Just ask the Druids. And Greco-Roman culture frowned upon human sacrifice which means they would not approve of Mesoamerican rites. However, they did have Mystery cults like that of Dionysus that could be frenzied and wild. Let's look at the other...
