  1. The Plantagenet Succession

    Just one thing: Suzanne was NOT the heiress of the Bourbons because their lands were tied to the male line. In OTL Suzanne became the heiress when Louis XII gave the inheritance to Suzanne as part of a deal with Peter and Anne after Charles VIII’s death
  2. WI: Potty training your kid as early as possible becomes popular?

    Same here with the mid level spectrum. Funny your geography handle as I had a fascination with globes and maps when I was young, still do. With my kids the youngest picked up pt earlier because he wanted to be like the oldest.

  4. WI: Longer Tulip Period?

    The Tulip period, from 1718-1730, was the first 'Westernization' really creeped into the Ottoman Empire. Incipient consumerism began amongst Constantinople's elite; trade with Western countries (e.g. France) increased; and art experienced a golden age. However, for a number of reasons -...

    Someone titled, (recently titled at the time of their marriage/elopement), who ATL will inherit (at least for some time) also his brother’s lands, had a family story similar to hers, has similar views to her parents and likely good relationship with them. Oh, and their families have already some...

    WI Vargas dies in 1942, who replaces him? Do Brazil democratise?

    In 1942 Getúlio Vargas was going for his May day speech when his car crashed hurting him and the choffer (I found a newspaper from that day here) OTL he survived but had to walk with a cane for the rest of the year, but the interesting thing is that this led to some conspiracy theories, such...

  10. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Alexander had bigger plans and if he survived cultural integration would be much bigger than OTL
  11. WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Pretty likely he would have a surviving son by either Stateira or at least Parysatis. At the worst a daughter by either (or a daughter of Hephaestion and Drypetis) would be married to Alexander’s son and heir, giving him the needed Persian royal blood.

    WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Is a good glance at what this might look like not obtained by looking at the Seleucid Empire? At the end of the day, Hellenistic culture still predominated, though Hellenistic culture itself, as sort of implied in its name, takes on influences from the east.

    The thin line of this being propaganda or not depend on the Jacobins winning or losing the 1936 elections
  17. Lincoln Lives: How a failed assassination changed the course of a Nation and a newly freed people

    This is exactly why I wont go to far into the 20th century, as the Presidents will get harder to ensure they are around. TR was already born by the end of the war, he even watched Lincoln's casket go by in NYC during Lincoln's funeral parade, so people like him are easy to continue to use. After...
