  1. interpoltomo

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

    A fiction that stems from the protestant work ethic and especially calvinism. The UK has much to answer for with sending the puritans and quakers to the future US instead of using the northeastern US to dump convicts in.
  2. WI: Woodrow Wilson Dies in 1919

    I'll recycle somehting I posted in 2019: *** Effects of Marshall becoming president upon Wilson's stroke being fatal in 1919: (1) The US will probably join the League of Nations, but the importance of this can be exaggerated. As I posted here last year: *** But the hard-core opponents of any...

    Have Buck Rogers In The 25th Century be as successful as Star Trek

    Have 'Buck Rogers In The 25th Century' be as a successful television series as 'Star Trek'. This means it must have a run of at least 6/7 seasons. Bonus points if you can get various spin off's as well in the same way you have 'DS-9', 'Voyager' and 'Enterprize' Much obliged!
  5. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    At least thrice the Germans sortied one of more BB, & heavy cruisers to intercept arctic convoys. When the Tripitz sortied it was returned to port when radio signals indicated a Brith battle group was stalking it. This was the prelude to the P17 massacre. In the last attempt the Scheer was...
  6. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks for putting letting me know this. I've heard a lot of criticisms of Stilwell as someone who seemed to some extent more like an armchair commander than an actual one.
  7. ItsaMapping

    WIP Map Thread

    A mix of both, mostly european mercantilism with kongsi characteristics, because there arent going to be settler colonies for the direct purpose of nearby state encouragement from the malays borneos etc. and instead encouraged colonies by the corporates and indirectly the dynasty itself.
  8. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Stilwell fought two rounds in Burma. First was in 1942. He was in charge of a Chinese corps sent to assist the Britsh, and yet was not in charge. All orders from him were supposed to be vetted back in Chunking by Chiang Kai Shek, & the actual corps commander could refuse orders if they...
  9. The Plantagenet Succession

    I know. I only had a small summary to fit it all in, so I had to simplify it. I know, don’t worry. :-D
  10. The Plantagenet Succession

    Some of these will carry over to later series where their character shows up, so I was factoring in the older ages.
  11. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    Tirpitz was nicely placed to sally out, help wreck a convoy to Russia, and then disappear back into a Norwegian fjord again. It was a potential threat to one of the lifelines the Allies were running to Stalin's Russia, and the Western Allies badly needed the Russians in the fight, and at least...
  12. WI: Napoleon stays as a Republican rather than adopting Monarchism?

    What about using Napoleon's initial occupation of Venice as a POD? Maybe he defies orders and does not surrender the Veneto to Austria (but does not contest their annexation of the Venetian possessions in the Balkans)?

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

    First, the consequences of early Chinese expansion on the Pacific. To summarize, the Pacific is teh fuckhueg. It's also the setting for the most epic migration of all time. Pic 2 related. For a Qin-Han era setting, our story begins around ~200 BC. Now, to be clear, the Chinese don't just...

    WI bigger Panama Canal

    Well, as it's completely flat and thus does away with the need for locks I think it would be not only have access to more water but also be drought proof.
  15. For a Gore Prosperous Tomorrow

    Can you please publish this as a book please?
  16. WI: Potty training your kid as early as possible becomes popular?

    I think if society were to push for a rush to potty training, it might worsen the stigma against those with incontinence issues.
  17. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    I've been watching this TL for some time and it is mighty impressive! Just double checking with those more knowledgeable, are Buran and Energia off the table for ESS and Roscosmos to continue developing?
  18. WI: Queen Victoria Was Male/King Victor?

    I would NOT exclude Alexander I of England if he is used to be called with his first name instead of the second or simply liked better that one as Alexander also had a good royal tradition in Scotland
