    In the absence of George Washington who becomes the first US President?

    "Mad" Anthony Wayne perhaps? He would later be called on by Washington to command in the North West Indian War

    So you have a 1-in-2 chance of picking over the battlefield afterwards, recovering all your own stuff, and examining all the enemy stuff.

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

    I don't think Hinduism can really compete with Christianity on a world scale because it doesn't really seem to be the kind of religion that is aggressively spread from its home subcontinent. From my understanding of it, Hinduism was more of an "ethnic religion" like Judaism, not really big on...

    Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Yes and no. Less of a Cold War means that there are fewer Defense contracts on one hand. Civil Aviation, as in airliners being the bread and butter of the industry on the other.

    The Children of Camelot

    Richard of York was also made Duke of Cornwall when he was recognised as heir apparent to Henry VI. It only seems to have developed the eldest son only of the monarch tradition with the Stuarts. It seems to me a way of making the eldest son a Duke before later making him Prince of Wales.
  6. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Fantastic update! Those images absolutely stunning as well. Please go to Mars... please go to Mars... ETS ended too early :( Maybe you could use lunar concrete to create 'hangars'? You'd need equipment to build something out of the regolith, but they'd probably benefit from doing that anyway...
  7. A Shift in Priorities - Sequel

    A hallucination is a fact, not an error; what is erroneous is a judgement based upon it. (Bertrand Russell) Well, thought Jeremy Dreaming Fox, is was like everywhere else: not the person of the monarch was important, but the quality of those who were counselling him and implementing the...

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    that's not a defendable line. The west bank of the Volga needs to be secured to guard the flank of Army Group A.
  9. 1988 Republican primaries if Reagan resigned over Iran-Contra

    Would Bush still win the nomination or would speculation that he was involved in Iran-Contra doom his ambitions?

    The Spirit of Salamis- A Short Allied Victory in Crete TL

    Indeed, and something I read about Ios named it Los so the mistake sticked in my mind. Sorry for the confusion and I'll make the changes.

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

    I think that Europe/The West might be more divided north/south than east/west in a TL with no Islam. The Mediterranean without the Islamic conquest of The Levant and North Africa would basically be a Christian lake, while mountains like the Alps and Carpathians would split Southern Europe from...

  14. What are some likely convergences?

    The New England colonies weren't just a dumping grounds for Puritans. They were also a source of wood, which helped with building the navy. They never achieved the crown jewel status of India but they weren't the prestige projects that predominated the scramble for Africa either.
  15. WI no Deluge in Poland

    Having Charles X Gustav get killed in the Battle of Warsaw could be a good POD. IIRC the Swedes and Prussians were stuck in a position from which they couldn't make an orderly retreat, so a clear defeat here could be disastrous for both of them. Since Sweden will almost certainly drop out of the...
  16. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Yes, but in order to do this, you need to keep control of the battlefield. If keep retreating even an small problem will result in a totally lost tank for you. In OTL the germans lost more King Tigers because they ran out of gas than enemey action
