    What are some likely convergences?

    Ranges from quite likely to a flat yes to both. The eastern seaboard is a very fertile and easy to cross area north-to-south, protected by mountains and sea, and obviously being colonized first is what led to the USA as we know it being able to become a power since that concentrated settlement...

    WI Italy discovers oil in Libya in early 1930s?

    From previous threads, 8-10 years after initial discovery to have a chance at getting oil pumped and transported back to Italy
  3. AH Cultural Descriptions

    The Islamic religion forbids the creation of images, and so their structures are decorated most often with geometric patterns. The palace of Alhambra is noted for the unusual and beautiful patterns upon its floors, the first and by far most extensive applications of what we now called fractal...
  4. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    If it is the early 30s then both countries lose, because they both go bankrupt, unless one or both figures out how to deal with the money issue. Neither nation can afford a war during the great depression. So perhaps a peace is negotiated relatively fast. If one of the countries figures out...
  5. Film WI: If "Blazing Saddles" had the "original" casting

    Everything I read about Wayne just showed how complicated a guy he was. He was allegedly Mr Racist but loved Mexico, married 2 Hispanic women, got hate mail from conservatives for backing the Panama Canal treaty. He was a warrior on film but tried to get in Ford's Motion Picture unit in WW 2 and...
  6. Effects of the Mississippi River as an International Boundary

    Why the 40th parallel? Especially in the west where thanks to the Missouri River its easier to access the Plains. I'd also think Spanish Louisiana would probably unite with Nuevo México considering Nuevo México didn't much like the central government in Mexico City, plus they claimed Colorado...
  7. Disaster at Dunkirk and German invasion of Russia in August 1940

    On June 10 the Germans were breaking though on the Somme, Paris fell on the 14th. The demobilization was reversed very quickly as Hitler changed his plans. There were 136 divisions in the French Campaign, how many do you want to keep in France? 20-30? I believe there were 22 infantry divisions...
  8. Cinco de Mayo

    Thanks! Not having a defeated South or Reconstruction to effect politics definitely dramatically overhauls the internal debate quite a bit.

    Threadmarks: Chamberlain's Britain

    "...Spencer's resignation stunned Westminster and British society, even though the split in the Liberals could be seen a mile away. A broader land purchase act was what brought it down; Spencer, in coordination with many Tories, sought to deliver an Act solely expanding the purchase rights to...

    Perfect. I know the math can be a little tricky when there’s that many games.

    An Age of Miracles Continues: The Empire of Rhomania

    I feel like they should have way more leeway than that considering how Armenia is one of the more well-integrated regions of the Empire politically and culturally speaking. There were many Emperors within the Empire's history of Armenian origin after all. The Macedonian dynasty originates with...

    1910 and 1912 Elections if TR Runs for a Third Term in 1908

    Another question worth asking: does Bryan run in 1908 if his opponent is going to be the popular Roosevelt? Perhaps he waits until 1912 and lets someone like John Johnson take the fall against TR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Albert_Johnson
  13. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I have a feeling that this Mongol horde, isn't a conquering force but rather refugees fleeing from something happening up in the Russian Steppes.

    No problem I like how American politics is in this TL
  15. What are some likely convergences?

    I feel like the entirety of the land between the Appalachians and the Rockies is damn near predestined to end up as part of one state no matter who the dominant power is, settler state or native empire in a pre-Columbia’s wank scenario. Though I wonder if a state roughly the shape of New France...

  17. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    WW I. Mexico falls for the German inducements or Carranza has a brain cramp. The U.S. goes after Mexico far worse than Vera Cruz, the involvement of the Germans comes out, probably from one of Carranza's many opponents, and after Carranza's government falls, the Americans join the Entente.

    OTL, british regiments' King/Queen Colours are a squarish version of the union jack with a regimental badge in the middle and battle honours in scroll around it. In Australia, since there is a union jack in canton and, technically speaking, the union jack is meant to represent the monarch, the...
  20. AHC: World War fought in North American soil?

    Post 1900? That's a hard one since by then America is going to brook no rival in its sphere.
