  1. What are some likely convergences?

    If it were really so likely, it shouldn't have taken until 1603 to come about.

    AHC: Bob Saget elected Governor of Maryland

    Am I misremembering/Mandela effecting? For some reason I thought Saget was in big legal trouble at some point in the 2000s...

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    I wasn't, I was pointing out that shooting Roosevelt would hardly create the pre-conditions necessary for an American demagogue
  4. AHC: Bob Saget elected Governor of Maryland

    Don’t know. Read the title, read the OP, thought it was a fun and easy thread (and a bit frivolous). Maybe the OP really likes or dislikes Bob Saget or really likes or dislikes Maryland. If Saget is governor, he is not performing. If Saget is governor, he would probably do a bad job and...

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    The US isn't going to just sit there and let that happen, I'd imagine.
  6. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    So suppose in the 1890's Imperial Germany manages to make Mexico a client state heavily dependent on German Banks and with its military remade in the Prussian image?

    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France
    Threadmarks: Section XXXIX - January 1522

    As promised! Westminster, January 1522 Henry is hoping that Wolsey’s sudden departure for Rome will pass unnoticed. That’s why he met him at York Place rather than summoning him to Westminster, after all. He wanted their meeting to be more discreet than usual. The moment he steps into...
  8. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Tiny question, why is it sometimes written like that? I've usually seen it as the name in Spanish, Veracruz, but why is it divided sometimes?
  9. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Indeed. William Randolph Hearst was screaming in his newspapers for the U.S. to do a full invasion of Mexico, occupy it, possibly annex it. Of course, he was also trying to convince people in his papers and in his movies that there was a secret Japanese-Mexican Alliance to invade the U.S., based...

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    What made you think I was thinking of him of all people?
  11. Scandinavian alliance 1939

    You both miss the primary argument. People are allowed to become citizens in Scandinavia / Finland. In the OTL the Axis were greeted with open arms, until the oppression started and the exterminations. In this scenario however people are given equal rights, the right to become a citizen and...
  12. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    I guess I don't necessarily mean the expansion in itself, more so the treatment of the Native Americans that went with it. I think that any American socialism is necessarily going to be different from the Russian or Chinese examples, because it would arise in an industrial society. A lot of what...

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Despite what some would have you believe, Garner was a reform-minded Texan who supported much of the New Deal and would be facing a very liberal Congress which would have the ability to override his vetoes. It's overblown

    AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Is it? ASB means "I'm handwaving reality or magically rewriting it to allow my OP to work." It's not the same as extremely implausible or unlikely. As another poster said, things were difficult in the US during the 30s. Not as bad as other countries you could name but if FDR were removed (as...
  16. How long would it take for the Confederates to abolish slavery if they won the civil war?

    Anyone who thinks Slavery becoming uneconomical would lead to it's abolition is kidding themselves. If things worked like that then nations like Saudi Arabia would long since have gotten on board with the womens liberation movement instead of underutilzing this much human capital. After a Civil...
  17. Flavius Aetius, survives

    Aetius himself would likely not become Emperor. He was getting on in age, as he was around 60 at the time. He also knew that true power in the west layed with the Magister Militum, not the emperor. What would happen instead is that Aetius would likely use his influence in order to put his son...

    And All Nations Shall Gather To It - A Crusades TL

    ...Byzantines and Crusaders, both purveyors of excellent heavy cavalry and with their own native sources of light cavalry, pull an Ain Jalut on the *Mongols. Maybe the Mongols could go fuck up the Turks and non-Turks in India instead. Maybe the Crusaders can take Baghdad finally -- after its...
  19. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    If the Mexican political world had been in one piece the Mexican Army could have been a massive pain in the neck. That said, 1916 Mexico had more factions than it had towns, and they were in near constant realignment. That was why Vera Cruz was a U.S. success.
  20. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    That reminds me Tim Burton turned down directing it (thankfully).
