    AHC: Roman Canaries

    I'm not sure why the Romans would establish a colony there to be honest. There is evidence the Romans did do some trade with the Canaries, but there wouldn't be much interest in establishing a colony so far off the African coast.

    What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    @alexmilman , I'm getting the suspicion that you just don't see ANY plausible way of making a Russian Alaska/Alyska work.... :)

    How would Woodrow Wilson be remembered without WWI?

    I would say my take on this comes down to two points. I. He is remembered as an inadequate racist imperialist. II. Without "He kept us out of the war!" to aid his campaign, he loses 1916 to C. E. Hughes.

    WI: Alexander the Great lives to 75?

    Well, Seleucus notably did not. Essentially. , I mean it would probably look a lot like the Seleucid and Parthian Empires. Not really a cultural fusion (I'm not really sure how that could be pulled off) but a pleasant co-existence.

    Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles Part 3

    A T 34 conversion only makes me want to play Company of Heroes II again... one of my all time favourite games.
  7. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    Well you had said Alaska in the post, and frankly it would need to be Alaska. Russia may have claimed the land all the way down to California, but so did the UK and the US. And the two had worked out a treaty dividing the land without any regard to Russia two decades before the sale of Alaska...

    How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    The enslaved population of the states that would make up the CSA in 1860 was, what, about 3.5 million? By 1861 there was a model for emancipation, of a population that were virtually slaves, on a much larger scale (23 million): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_reform_of_1861 While...
  10. America Be Watching With The Popcorn: A Sino-Soviet War TL

    The end result was very pro-Israel. At that point, everyone (including Egypt) knew Syria was done for.

    How can Roman republic be saved?

    The issue was not really inequality or representation of the population in politics. None of that really changed in the imperial period, and the late Roman republic was almost without question the most democratic period in Rome's history. The entire population of Italy was eligible to...

    AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    There's always 'Nusantara' for Indonesia or 'Caucasia' for any one of the Caucasian states.
  13. WI the US attempted to meddle in the 1837-1838 Canadian rebellions?

    Could the US have covertly or overtly pushed the rebellions to full blown revolution as a means to finally get the British out of North America?

    Explain the AH Quote

    Italian scientist Enrico Fermi upon learning the news of the German Empire's first atomic bomb test on Svalbard in December 1944, specifically referring to Kaiser Wilhelm III, who had grown more stressed and easily angered over the course of the Second Weiltkrieg (1941-1945), fending off both...

    This is a game; come and go as you please.
  16. in U.S. circa 1990, “nanny state” takes the intellectual space of “political correctness”

    It seems that in 1932 and before, Republicans and rural America were more supportive of a “nanny state” than Democrats and urban America were, but by the 1980s, that had reversed.

    Don't forget the Transall C 160 an aircraft similar in size to the C-130 and from the same era. It just never received the acceptance that the C-130 had.

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

    Where things get interesting for the Mesoamericans isn’t just introducing horses, but other beasts of burden and agriculture. New crops, farming methods, and animals like chickens, pigs, and oxen could change native society substantially. All this assuming the Chinese are more interested in...

    Patton in Korea/MacArthur in the White House

    Well, I'm a bit conflicted here cause while indeed if he really managed to blow himself up, it would be, as was already mentioned, a unique way to 'leave'... Still, it felt as somewhat off and/or as uncharacteristic for him, near as a 'suicide by landmine'...
