  1. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    @Cryhavoc101 Okay, thanks for the clarification. FWIW, in the unlikely event of a) Hawaiian self-rule becoming an issue in 2008, and b) Obama making concessions to the nationalists, I think his status as a son of the islands would almost certainly hurt him. That would make it easier for the...
  2. Alternate Stewart succession of England?

    Tragic indeed. Not fully his fault, as he grew up being taught by those who hated her.
  3. In the absence of George Washington who becomes the first US President?

    Hamilton was not 35 as of 3/4/1789 so he is out. Thomas Paine was a pamphleteer and a radical. No way. Hancock OTL only got 4 votes in the election, none from MA which went for JA, and was in declining health. Without Washington I think you are looking at three primary candidates, JA...

    Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    It's actually the other way around. Going to 20 % enriched takes more time and energy than going from 20 % to 95 %, it requires a lot less enrichment cycles in the separation plant than from 0.0closetonothing % to 20 %. The hard part is the industrial production. 30.000 centrifuges capable of...

    German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    The OP puts his POD at well over a month before Operation Uranus.

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I doubt Katherine manipulated Henry into marrying her. I always thought it was that Henry found Katherine so attractive that he married her for love.

    Well thank you! Just gotta find good templates to work off of first... I'll see what I can turn up

    I've eaten worse.
  11. WI Idea of Reconquista becomes deeply entrenched in Mexico fuelling a Major Long-lasting Conflict with the United States a la Ireland, Palestine etc ?

    This is a pretty un nuanced way to portray the Israeli Palestinian conflict, I wouldn’t say Palestinian opposition to Israel comes from xenophobia racism or “holy land” it comes from a nationalistic conflict over one region, the expulsion of 800,000 Palestinians in 1948 and loss of 70+ percent...
  12. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    No, I'm repeating some of the arguments made in Britain at the time.
  13. Why wasn't Runic script adopted more widely

    What do you mean by lack of specialization? According to what we know of ancient Germanic society, there seems to have been complex castes and hierarchies, related to military activities. The Scythians and the Aryan/Vedic Bronze-Iron ages are also known for having a very stratified and complex...

    WI: Syria and Lebanon never separated?

    Ottoman administrative areas Main issue would be over power sharing between Maronite Christians and Druze, Alawi, Shiite and Sunni
  16. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    She would have married Henry, independently from the consummation of her wedding, IF her mother had NOT died before Henry was old enough. After that she was to be sent back at home but she and her father refuted to accept it. English‘s interest for the alliance was mostly on Castile, not Aragon...
  17. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    And don't forget Lee Marvin playing both the stereotype and the send-up in Cat Ballou. The man was a marvelous and underrated actor. But for Waco Kid you needed an obviously non-gunfighter type, not a reverse role-player. And let us never forget the comic chemistry of Brooks and Wilder...
