  1. PC: Where Would the Capital of a Hohenstaufen United HRE Be?

    This is pretty interesting, a good adaptation to rule geographically diverse and vast realm with strong local powers without strong institutions binding them together.
  2. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I'm pretty sure Louisiana and Mexico will soon jump into the fray as their major trade route is now blocked. And with how unpopular Jackson's regime is, this will be it's final nail in the coffin.
  3. And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    Ok so after a bit of research I revised my bit on the Mongol invasions. I can see the Mongols forcing Rhomania to serve as a springboard for an invasion of Eastern Europe, and I can see the Golden Horde expanding its influence to include Poland, Hungary, Dacia, and the Teutonic Kingdoms in...
  4. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    So... Kadir DID kill his father, then. He probably is going to be a hell of a tenacious enemy, if he is willing to go to such a lenght.
  5. Silver Road and Golden Stripes, Yet Another Football TL

    My picks for the quarterfinals: England, France, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Germany, DR Congo, Brazil...
  6. A Lusophone World

    This is interesting, the Big Three. Uruguay would then be the Netherlands or Denmark. The biggest loser of this emerging Tri-polar world order is the Communist Block, compared to OTL and internally fractured as it is. I think the general population of the subcontinent and the atrocious OTL...

    In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    Zoroastrianism was reportedly spreading throughout the eastern Arabian coast and into central Asia. That's a possibility. Without the Islamic conquest the Buddhists of Kashmir remain far stronger as well.
  8. 1988 Republican primaries if Reagan resigned over Iran-Contra

    Even then I don't think he resigns, nor do I believe he would be impeached. One problem I see when people talk about Iran Contra is that they only see it from the point of view of someone like themselves who is usually very politically engaged. What is usually ignored is that most of the country...

    Threadmarks: Groups E-H 2017-18

    Argentina and England had no problems in their group. Pitted against arch-rivals Ireland and Northern Ireland, the two favorites advanced out of the group, while the two Irish nations battled for third, with the Republic coming out on top. Germany and Uruguay likewise had no real problems...
  10. What would the Americas be like if the Chinese colonized it?

    Assuming that the Chinese make any colony worthwhile be discovering gold, really taking to native crops, and/or being used as a penal colony. They’d seek to turn native groups into tributary states in time. It would work better on some more established empires such as the Aztecs than it would...
  11. What if Russia invested more heavily into American colonization?

    I suppose what the natives were eating. Fish and the like. Maybe they could settle the area with Norwegians or something. You're right though, I forgot that area didn't have the material for farming like in other areas.

    Gymkata Released by RKO Radio Pictures Brewster's Millions Released by Paramount Pictures Rambo: First Blood Part II Released by Hemdale Film Corporation Fletch Released by Universal Pictures
  13. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    I could do Starlog article excerpts describing these. Starlog I believe was created in 1976
  14. In the absence of Islam, which religion becomes the primary competitor to Christianity?

    That is definitely not certain. Without Islam, Buddhism, ‘Hinduism,’ Jainism, different kinds of empowered folk traditions and so forth could be stronger and perpetuated in Africa and Arabia. Buddhism and Hinduism in particular are dangerous to counter Christianity in the India ocean, including...

    Threadmarks: Appendix B: March 1526, Konya

    Appendix B Konya, January 1526 “...the valley around Malatya has been raided again, several of their storehouses were burned and a few dozen farmers and their families carried off. Most of the farmers were able to get inside the walls in time, thank God, and the city’s granaries should be able...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Everyone knows this, it's part of why the Trapezuntines will intervene to protect them. The long-term impacts of Ananuri will definitely be immense, and the impacts of a Mongol vassal would be catastrophic for both states. I should also note that Ananuri will be largest battle in Caucasian...

    Is Gen-Sec. Chikalito still a thing in this already unpleasant alt TL? 😬
  18. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Yes and no. They recognized it’s value, but there is no sign that ever drew the relevant conclusions of what that meant. Perhaps because they were afraid too, perhaps because for all their talent at operations and tactics, their defects at strategy blinded them to the implications. But that’s...

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    Was Stalingrad seen in such a way by the German General Staff?
