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

    OK, so we assume that the Chinese are more expansionist than usual. They were expansionist, just ask the Vietnamese and Koreans not to mention numerous pilgrimages to India. Are their junks capable of traversing the Pacific Ocean? Who would sponsor it? The Mongols? Manchu? Maybe they hear...
  2. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    Part of the role of these socially regulatory movements of petty welfare and ideology is class repression. In the United States this has a racially divisive streak as policies which isolate black and white workers are reinforced as “successful,” and as policies which appeal to white working...

  4. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Wow! Before all of that? I'm impressed! One more block of wood for his burning at the stake, I suppose. Let me guess. Did one of the members in the crowd throw any stereotypical objects towards Cosby, given his total lack of respect at this point in his lack of a career? Say, watermelon slices...
  5. AHC: Roman Canaries

    People went to cultural locations it seems. The idea of an island getaway was probably not really present. The Greek islands are more accessible anyway.

    How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    One division arrived Jan 1 1940 and the second wasn't far behind.

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    The lamps have gone out in Georgia, and we will not see them lit again in the lifetimes of many. Not much to say about the future of Georgia in the next 50-100 years beyond what's been said already except that it will probably be terrible for the Georgians themselves. Not sure how far the Nogai...
  8. What are some likely convergences?

    Would have to agree, yet also like the idea of a fairly significant Scandinavian descended population ITTL at minimum creating a Belgian-like (e.g. Walloon, Flemish, German, etc) political situation in ATL Quebec in lieu of the area completely being overwhelmed by English speakers. Interestingly...
  9. Timeline Elevator Pitch: Stuck with The Right Stuff

    If, in 1961, Apollo is being cancelled, then finding that extra $12m will be even easier than IOTL--it's a trivially small amount of money even in NASA's budget then ($744m in 1961), and if it's the only way to get two people into space at a time, then they will find a way to make it happen.

    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    I don't think its really feasible, or really plausible for there to be a Crusade against this resurgent Rhomania. The Papacy would most definitely be intact, as it was a recognized institution co-equal to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The issue was that the Pope tried to assert his...
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Keep in mind, this was BEFORE David the Gnome, before Sex, Lies and Videotape, before The Crying Game, before Pulp Fiction, before The English Patient and so on. So Murdoch is getting Miramax for a cheaper price than he would have if he waited. Lest we forget that Schumer wanted revenge for the...

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    And you've no need to be, no point planning too far ahead -much more enjoyable to decide as you go and let the world flow with you so to speak.

    Cory Booker is a dietician? WTF!!!

    Romanov Ascendant: What if the Soviet Union survived?

    I fixed up the South Africa update, to better reflect what was discussed. The Junta initially attempts to maintain it's role as the government of South Africa, but begins to emphasize Afrikaaner/Boer nationalism.
  15. AHC: Roman Canaries

    tourism in some form did exist iirc especially to Greece where people went to see Troy and the other famous towns there

    We'll see. I'm not even that far along yet.

    Graham Chapman? That’s...ah, umh. Different. And interesting. Carry on, please.

  20. Remember the Texas! The United States in World War II (an alternate history)

    I'm at 1. Not in the PI, when the war started, put in change of standing up the massive training apparatus for the draftees. 2. Killed him (mortar, he lingered until the war was over) 3. Forced into disgraced retirement.
