  1. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    It has happened, actually, though not in a decade or so: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02688630 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1464515/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2610337/ Results were inconclusive as I recall (it's been a while since I looked...

    Imperator: Rome

    I think so. Steep learning curve but it's functional and decently balanced.

    An alternate cold war

    I think this has been brought up before, but multiple Italian states just isn't really possible with such a late departure, especially since some seem like they're non aligned. That's just not feasible. Kaiserreich did it for the memes not its feasibility.
  4. Solar Dreams: a history of solar energy (1878 - 2025)

    Archimedes' popularity TTL will be quite a thing, having preceded Mouchot thousands of years ago. Alternate history ITTL too, with the twin principals of Steam Engine and Solar Reflectors having existed since antiquity. Might give a boost to classicism.
  5. An alternate cold war

    What is POD? Some borders are so odd that it seems that it is before WW2.
  6. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Another day, another timeline with the Soviet Holocaust ... and so WWII begins: Red Storm Anyway here's a world map on May 31 1953, the day before of the start of World War II

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Then most likely yes, based on the Komnenoi's ancient ties of Rome and their own propaganda, although the Moreans would never recognize the Trapezuntines as the legitimate overlord or ruler over Rhomania.

    Buddhism lasts in India

    Much like with Mongolian tengrism or Burmese animism, it syncretized well with the traditions because the existence of the local deities doesn't change the veracity of the Eightfold Path. What does tend to stop Buddhism is a hardened priest-dominated society like Christian Europe...
  9. Sweden-Norway joins the Second Schleswig War

    The Danes should have fought the war how they did the first time. Temporarily cede the Jutland, use the navy to land troops behind advancing enemy armies, and force the Prussians to retreat to save their supply lines, then retake the peninsula after the Prussians retreat. Rinse and repeat...
  10. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    I mean amongst their own people.They are a much older dynasty than those Palaiologian upstarts and have ruled Trebizond uninterrupted.Surprisingly,they even braved two regencies without being usurped and did not seem to have any non-Komnenians trying to put their own claim to the throne.
  11. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    ...sense to send up monkeys on Mercury before humans. Yes, you should do short-duration missions and build up to long ones. But my point is that we’ve *done* the reasonable risk-reduction for an off-earth base. It can hardly be worse than the environment on the ISS, which we are (evidently, at...
  12. For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    All I know about Gary Hart is that his defense advisor was a certifiable lunatic named William Lind (notorious for coining the term ‘cultural Marxism’ and his ideological screed ‘Victoria: A Novel of Fourth Generation War’). I don’t expect this show to go that way, though.
  13. How important was the Dunkirk evacuation ?

    Plus there's the blow of the way that Russia and Germany have divvyed up Poland between them, making it look as if the Russians could also be on the Germans' side. Outside the inner coteries of Hitler and Stalin, there's not necessarily an automatic assumption that either of the two leaders...
  14. Buddhism lasts in India

    One thing I like to imagine is that Buddhism survived in India, it wouldn't be a unified thing. There were numerous early schools, and it is rather likely IMO that they would have continued to develop. As for the native religions of India, I imagine that you would see the worship of the Indian...

    The New World of the White Huns

    Thank you! Oh it's not that bad. It's just meant to reflect the tendency of vital (to later historians) records to get destroyed due to carelessness throughout history, and to explain why I never before mentioned silk in the Near East.
  16. geopolitical impact of an Iranian victory in the Iran-Iraq war

    Iran pisses off both the Soviets and the Americans. Neither of them wanted a victor in that war.
  17. These Fair Shores: The Commonwealth of New England

    How many counties are in Connecticut anyway? Is there a map?
  18. Map Thread XX

    Crossposting from the MotF thread. Do tell me what you think of this map and setting For many English students, it comes as a pleasant surprise how the northernmost region of Noord-Amerika is still known as 'New England' and that its traditional inhabitants are still known as 'Engelse', and...
  19. MotF 232: On A Pale Horse

    For many English students, it comes as a pleasant surprise how the northernmost region of Noord-Amerika is still known as 'New England' and that its traditional inhabitants are still known as 'Engelse', and speak a language that, while having its differences and its loanwords from either Dutch...
