  1. Peshawar Lancers Redux: Kingdom of Hawaii Revised

    The Papers of William Kamehameha as well as the records of the Royal Hawaiian Intelligence Service indicated that Hawaii made a clear decision to oppose Mexico as the Mexicans were attempting to prevent Hawaii's plans to build a canal in the Central American Republic and to destabilize...

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

    With the US quite literally having been cut in half, and access to the Carribean and further, South America, being made more difficult due to the lack of a southern shore, and the mouth of the Mississippi in CSA hands, the US economy would develop quite differently.
  3. The Decade of Disaster: What if the Franco-Prussian War Escalated? (relaunched)

    Will TTL Gladstone be remembered as the "Chamberlain (OTL) of the 19th Century"?
  4. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    It depends on how they handle the defensive posture. On the Eastern Front they still simply wouldn't have sufficient troops to form a proper defensive line. With adequate mobile reserves to plug gaps. The Soviets will still be able to find weak points and force breakthroughs. The Germans can...
  5. Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    This phenomenon is actually well explained in The Prince. The Roman Empire, as a centralized state lacks localized resistance whenever the Roman army fails to win battles, which is in turn influenced by Imperial leadership. Many of the dynatoi for example fled Anatolia when the Turks invaded...
  6. Flag Thread V

    a bit late to comment but you could just use the flag of Flanders for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Flanders
  7. A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Nice update as usual. But did JFK really have affairs with those Mexican film stars? If so, where did you get that from because I have never read about that before.
  8. AHC: Have Hawaii dump the Union Jack

    That's fair, but it isn't exactly a native symbol, is it? There would still be people protesting its inclusion as a legacy of colonialism. Another thought I had was that the flag is replaced following the toppling of the Hawaiian monarchy. To show their commitment to MURICA, the Hawaiian...
  9. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Question: Why in the blue hell would Delaware be part of the Confederacy?

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

    diplomatic and political trends, yes will not remain the same. Economic trends will remain rather similar however. Without a massive ravaging of countries involved, economic trends have historically known to be quite similar. For example a no ww1 europe would be quite different politically and...
  11. Primavera d'Italia: War, Love and Revolution

    Happy you liked it. :) Gioberti is actually on a ship to Civitavecchia (see interlude 31) on Ferdinando's orders. He should arrive in Rome between 9 and 10 April.
  12. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    You know who were really low on manpower? The Germans. They conscripted the Hitler Jugend. Up (or down) to 13-year olds, if I'm not mistaken. And not just the Hitlerjugend, they also conscripted elder man.
  13. What if Rome discovered America?

    Yeah, Rome actually conquering parts of the Americas is wildly implausible, to say the least. What is slightly more plausible would be the possibility of them having a vague awareness it exists. Not very awesome, but would change a fair few attitudes once Rome does fall and the Middle Ages...

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

    Honestly, I can't see much meaning in discussing generally what the CSA would be like in the late 20th century without a lot of details being filled in first. If it survives that long, then the US will constantly have a southern neighbour to worry about, one that has shown itself capable of...
  15. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    my view if Leningrad had been captured, the Soviet fleet cleared from the Baltic, they could have created a little "slack" for themselves, and something like this scenario might drag on for a year or years longer. if they avoid Stalingrad and "Tunisgrad" they are bleeding the Allies quite a bit...
  16. Nuclear energy=nuclear weapons?

    Ah OK yes, that works Pick some discovery on the way to discovering fission not to happen, the issue is such discoveries have their own causal web that is broader than just being on the route to fission. Plus we often have more than one way of getting there but we remember the one that got...

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    Also, the Doctor Who update was good. I personally prefer Eccelston and Tennant, from what I've watched from the modern series.
  18. German completely adopts the defensive September 1942

    even if that were true in terms of why they did it and the wider picture of the Soviets running out of mobilisation pool (and I'm not sure it is)l, in this scenario those liberated regions will be available earlier though. Plus you won't have the massive Soviet loses in Kursk and Stalingrad...
