  1. AHC Roman-Persian Empire

    Is it possible to combine Rome and Persia into a single empire stretching from Atlantic to Indus? What would it take to form such a monstrosity and could it survive for longer?
  2. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    @Cryhavoc101 Interesting scenario. But would people in Hawaii perceive crimes by American soldiers as being commited by a foreign army? I know that most people obviously dislike rampaging meatheads smashing up their town and groping the local girls. But I also know, from pretty close-hand...
  3. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    There's BIS research that suggests the shortage of liquid assets (like Treasuries and other short / medium dated government debt) was a significant constraint on commercial Bank lending in the early 1930s. Even if you ignore any Keynsian effects there would be a benefit to the wider economy if...

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

    If they can beat the US they can surely beat Texas, especially if they continue to build a more strongly centralized state and thus hinder the ability of individual states to have their own large armies. This is all highly dependant on the specific development of a surviving CSA though, I...

  7. How long and could it take for the Byzantine (Roman) Empire to industrialize?

    I’m talking about these borders, the ones that Belisarius conquered and they somehow keep it

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

    Thanks, and no. I'm with you. I admire Katherine and pity her, but I do think she was too stubborn for her own good and has a lot to answer for regarding her daughter.
  9. False Dmitry Maintains "Ruriks"

    That’s the whole point: the miraculous recognitions and 180 degrees reverses of the earlier positions were politically driven and “revelations” would be meaningful only when they suit somebody powerful. As for Marina, she was desperately trying to grab any opportunity: she ended up marrying...

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

    i do find this trope that the texans would secede from the CSA just as narrow minded as the Texit scenarios that many throw around. Even Houston by his death was calling himself albeit very reluctantly, a citizen of the confederacy and unionism in the Confederate Texas was practically dead after...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Without turning it into too much of a derail the problem that came out of the Beor War was not enough was learnt on the artillery side of things while much was learnt by the infantry and the cavalry as well as the Commanders who had to fight the conflict. The next opportunity to learn anything...

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

    I feel like I'm the only person reading this who is not a Katherine of Aragon stan 😂 Respect the heck outta her for how accomplished she was? Yes. Like her? No. I also firmly believe that Katherine was the architect of her own fate so 🤷🏼‍♀️ she could have negotiated a better ending for herself...
  13. Now is the Winter of Our Discontent

    There are a couple yes, including one in contention for one of the girls.
  14. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    How are they going to force Texas to stay? Only way to do it is invade and occupy and I don't see the CSA winning that scenario on the battlefield.

  16. A swift Republican victory in the Spanish Civil War?

    Driving tanks through the Pyrenees may be hard, but it'd be a lot easier with the Luftwaffe softening up your targets with impunity beforehand. I wonder if Walter Benjamin would survive ITTL? IOTL he was detained by the (Francoist) Spanish border police and killed himself because of the...

    Early Discover of Oil in the Middle East

    and then after finding the oil, and developing the infrastructure so that oil can be transported to a coastal terminal, you need transport. Many times in the '30s, cost of transport exceeded value of the Crude It's worse if you have to build new Oil Tankers, as in the Japanese case, it's the...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Well to be fair to the Danubian Empire, the opponents did secede (Venice, Hungary) but they were brought back in by force. In the case of Britain, an embarrassing defeat is coming, though not in the the 1840s decade sadly. Prussia is quiet until the late 1840s like otl, because well, they're...
