    Byzantines reconquer southern Italy and Rome by 1100, how does Christendom develop from there?

    That is definitely true and one of my favorite realizations in my studies of Roman history was that the fall of the Roman Senate was a largely popular revolution against tyrannical rule. (Edit: I should probably clarify that I don't mean that it was a popular revolt as in the French Revolution...
  2. Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    Why was the Austro-Hungarian Army so inept at handling a multi-ethnic army (Battle of Karansebes was especially terrible), when other cultures such as the Romans or Mongols could successfully use a multi-ethnic army?
  3. Andrew III of Hungary has a son

    POD is simple-Elizabeth (b. 1291/92) daughter of last Arpad King of Hungary, is born as boy (Stephen). What would be consequences of that change? Hungary would have boy king after Andrew's death in 1301, who'd also need to deal with Angevin claim to Hungarian throne, OTL centralizing reforms...

    King Tosti?

    Very interesting WI @Mikestone8 ! My tuppence: The first thing to note is that earldoms are in the gift of the king. Tostig seems to have been the Confessor’s favourite Godwineson. As such (and because he is now the eldest surviving Godwineson) he is most likely to be confirmed as the new...
  5. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I would miss The End & Birds Of Prey though. I do hope we still get a scene of Ritchie looking back at his wedding and the reactions to Kiki being there. Also chapter 2k next time! Incredible PBM. Looking forward to many more. Really love the story.

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    I suppose, but would Charles the Bold have accepted that match?

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    That said, this is still very interesting because it really rather screws over the habsburgs aiui

    What if Charles, Duke of Guyenne survived?

    I think Louis XI would rather see his brother marrying in burgundy tbh

    AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Orwell? Fearless humour is vital to freedom.
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Assuming they still get made, either Hot to Trot (about a talking horse) or Caddyshack II...
  11. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Yes, they do provide some good amount of immersion to us. Maybe the model used in "A Age of Miracles" could be useful, if you sometimes join the book-style updates with a short or medium length narrative that provide context or make us feel immersed in what is happening (or not! Sometimes just...
  12. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    Unless the idea is to capture an airhead and fly them in That was the plan for the 52nd Lowland Division (configured as an air transportable divisions with all its equipment designed to be able to fit onto aircraft etc) once Arnhem had been captured to fly them into the airport there. And the...
  13. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    I don't think they would necessarily be like modern tankies where they absolutely hate capitalist America, but I do think they would generally think most presidents were bad people (Lincoln and Grant are obvious exceptions). I think there would be a good amount of pride in the American...
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Mac and Me, by a narrow landslide.
  15. AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    ...cruisers in the IJN/USN mold with 9-10 8"/20cm or a absolute forest of 6"/15.5cm guns (and in the IJN's case, remarkably heavy torpedo armament **amaszing what you can get onto a hull if it is 50% over Treaty limits**) when the KM raider was brought to heel it faced a seriously below proper...
  16. Keynes' Cruisers Volume 2

    So does this mean D-Day and Operation Dragoon are going to occur at the same time. :eek:
  17. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    There’s also going to be no more episode updates (for a while at least) so I will be tracking news stories, and what the actors and principals of Star Trek do in the groovy 1970s. If I don’t mention a historical event in the timeline, assume it happens the same way or materially the same way as...
  18. WI: The Enterprise completes its five year mission (Star Trek survives for 5 seasons)

    A lot of that money went to Phase II so if you remove that then it was successful. ITTL there’s no Phase II though so TMP is only made for $22 million
  19. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    A couple of small countries with small or basically nonexistent air forces have harbors close together in a post colonial time and a state of distrust, Shell each other occasionally to keep the other side honest.
