  1. WI: No Turkic Migrations

    They all have a thing in common weakness 1) the seljuks invaded a divided iran 2) chingis conquered the place where the ruling dynasty was not based of iran and most of it'd conquest were recent 3) timur took advantage of the collapse of the ilkhanate. Also by this I guess there is a conquest...

    The Eagle of the East, Rhomania: An Eastern Roman Timeline (1196 - 1245)

    Thanks for all the kind words, and notes. Sorry the timeline has halted. I've been busy with work, and the power outages here in South Africa have gotten worse, I apologize for the lack of anything, and hope to get back to it soon.

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    @PGSBHurricane Keep up the good work on your TL. (Liked and Watched already.) However I do got a question in regards of admission into the UAC. On one of your threadmarks, Nova Scotia was the first outside colony to join the UAC. You also mentioned that Quebec wouldn't be joining at first on...
  4. Obscure AH Websites

    Bumping this thread for posterity. Who knows how many obscure standalone AH sites have been lost in the past decade alone? Looks like the extensive Dai Nippon Teikoku setting's Angelfire website is miraculously still in existence. I've never actually read it in full, but it's worth checking...
  5. What were the key developments that enabled the Age of Exploration?

    A consistent and fairly accurate device for measuring time was absolutely vital. It would have been impossible for Europeans to cross oceans without timepieces of some sort. Marine sandglasses was used at the beginning of the Age of Exploration. Dead reckoning techniques, using speed and...
  6. Afonso, Prince of Portugal lives

    Every 3 months if you did 3 in Portugal 3 in Castile 3 in Leon 3 in Aragon.
  7. WI British/Italian war in the 1930s

    Are you sure it wasn't 8 capital ships (including battlecruisers). I'm fairly sure it did but I haven't checked. It doesn't really change the situation but 1 or 2 battlecruisers amoung those 8 would be much better for the British imo.
  8. Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    I was recently reading Mr Sobel's FOR WANT OF A NAIL and it occurred to me to wonder what the colours of a regiment in service to the Confederation of North America might look like - given that while the nation in question enjoyed the status of a British Dominion (as per Canada in our timeline)...
  9. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    Way too low, specially in confront to Catherine of Spain
  10. British Biscuit

    Explain the AH Quote

    Excerpt from 1971 The Times article discussing the growing sense of nationalism and calls for Pan-German unification among the citizens of Austria, Prussia and the various smaller German states. The article goes over the failed attempts at German unification in the 19th century, the opposition...
  11. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    If you are looking for a bride for John III from England, I believe Henry has a Courtenay cousin, sister to the Marquess, I think.
  12. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Jasper Carrot used that line in one of his sketches.
  13. How far west could the Slavs have gone?

    Maybe the Slaves are "encouraged" into Italy, to displace the pesky Lombards?
  14. The Professor

    Linguistic situation of Britain with no Saxons.

    I think what we'll get will be more Roman influenced Brittonic dialects. OTL the Saxon and Angle settlements occurred while Britain was suffering a population issue, more so in the cities from what I understand. So a Britain with the same population issues but no Germanics is going to see...
  15. ECM /recon version of mig23

    It provided the USSR with a high performance manned aircraft capable of flying recon missions against many likely air defense systems. In the context of the Cold war and the USA having the SR71, a reconnaissance version of the Mig 25 was probably needed by the USSR for political as well as...
  16. WI: No Turkic Migrations

    I only said "reasonably likely". Considering that Iran was at least thrice conquered by steppe empires following the fall of the Sassanid Empire (Seljuk, Genghis, and Timur), it can hardly be described as extremely improbable or unlikely that it will be conquered at least once in the same rough...
  17. Would the KMT be able to hold on as a one party state like the CCP have?

    From an outsiders perspective it looks like China is relatively stable as a one party state with the CCP firmly in control. If it were the KMT that won the civil war would they have been able to successfully hold complete control over China like the CCP?
  18. WI: Yugoslav Trieste

    If Italy cares anymore.
  19. If the Japanese win the Battle of Midway, would Japan be able to invade the US?

    In either case there was still cause for uneasiness in the military. The Japanese had one of the largest armies in Asia and they had a long record of victories by 1941 and that list got longer in 1942: Guam, Wake Island, Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma, and the Philippines. All occurred after...
