  1. A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. And all these people are in the same Party! Got the feeling, somehow Lincoln isn't going to be as relevant in TTL...
  2. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    One of the more horrific aspects of an already repugnant institution is how good (bad) slaveowners were at calculating the difference between "working conditions bad enough to make the slaves miserable" and "working conditions which will kill the slaves." They actually had calculations as to...

    WI: Rio De La Plata/Parana agricultural cradle?

    I could see it being more so like woodlands that were managed for timber and celebrations around annual harvests since you get a massive load of food all at once with limited ways of storing it. apparently the seeds were stored underground in Chile for a certain amount of time . I could...
  4. What are some likely convergences?

    The British had the advantage of being an island. That meant their primary means of defense was their navy, which is useful for maintaining and establishing colonies. It also meant they could concentrate more of the ground forces they did have in their colonies. That makes them the most...
  5. Early Discover of Oil in the Middle East

    As Marathag has demonstrated prices were not "high" until there was not a "free" market trade in oil i.e. when OPEC as a cartel decided to set the price. Saudi and the Middle East was initially developed within a free market which is why the price trended downwards in the 60's. It was not...

    Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    I think ITTL if Alfonso V and Isabella inherit, I think it is Alfonso V will die in Philip's place and their son inherits the throne of Portugal and Isabella will be the monarch of Castile and never remarry again and Germaine will still marry Ferdinand. @isabella

  8. The Forge of Weyland

    Especially any of them that are in Henry Fords pocket Hitler and Ford got on like a house on fire.
  9. WI: JFK picks Walter Reuther to be his running mate

    J. Edgar Hoover and the Republicans try to paint Walter Reuther as a Communist, although Reuther worked to expel Communists from organized labor. Reuther helps Kennedy in the Midwest, but the ticket does worse in the South without Johnson. Should the ticket be elected, it begs the question as...
  10. The New Order: Last Days of Europe - An Axis Victory Cold War Mod for HoIIV

    You know, from reading this alone, these guys sound VERY much like Komi's Stalina to me, with her entire, 'Democracy will never be safe until the last communist has been strangled with the guts of the last fascist' approach to governance. The two regimes totally need to have a special...
  11. The Forge of Weyland

    True enough. Sadly many of them are chomping at the bit for contracts with the Germans.

    A Time For Greatness: The Alternate Presidency of John F. Kennedy and beyond

    Gald the tour went well. I seem to remember there were a lot of folk in British Guiana like other places that did not want independence, and not just white folks either. Is that supposed to be Guevara in the first paragraph? Interesting list of policies there.
  13. What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    Well, if Charles and Juana have a son who (or whose male descendants are) is still alive around 1520, things are getting more spicier, as there was comuneros rebellion in Castile which aimed to free Juana "the Mad" (Ferdinand of Aragon's daughter) and make her Queenly power freely excersized...
  14. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I don’t know how he felt that he ended up becoming the ruler of a small county after running away from ruling.He probably deserved it(as a punishment).
  15. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    How about gradual abolition? Ie could they implement for example freedom of the womb, and if so when?
  16. Se Deus quiser, há-de brilhar! - Uma História do Império Português (Updated 03/18)

    Habsburgs were simply not able to defeat even Hungary itself in open field, Hungarians during the times of Matthias Corvinus took Vienna alone and Poland and Lithuania have no other choices than Vladislaus if Alexander is dead (Sigismund got along with him and Frederick is an clergyman), how...
  17. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    I've read the return of the dowry for Isabella was important to the finances of the catholic monarchs. How would this affect the reconquist and castillian colonialism?
  18. What are some likely convergences?

    I disagree. This is only the case if it is one major country. North America could have easily been divided between the British, the French, the Spanish, the Dutch, the etc. And than you don't need a unified colony per coloniser. OTl could have ended for example with a British Rupertland, French...
  19. Early Discover of Oil in the Middle East

    The search for oil in Saudi Arabia was started by a New Zealander who convinced the Saudi King to grant him a concession to search for oil in the 20s. He partnered with an American company and it took a long time before anything was found in commercial quantities. Mainly because the resources...
