    A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    No once they get back to Spain/Germany! Poisoning Marguerite in France is asking for trouble!
  2. Case for coastal artillery until the 1980s

    What was the particular reason Scandinavian countries maintained them so long? Was it because coastal guns mounted above a fjord could still cover the whole entrance to it? Or was is more of a cost issue? I just figured a fixed coast gun in the Cold War was a sitting duck for strike aircraft...
  3. AHQ: Carolingian Empire survives

    If Carolingian Empire survived intact and later recovered sall of Italy and Iberia, would the period between roughly 476-800 be viewed in the same way the time between the fall of Han dynasty and the rise of Tang is viewed in China?
  4. The Sudeten War: History of the World after an Alternate 1938

    Brezhev OTL was Khrushchev creature, how he survived the Khrushchev be repressed and executed?
  5. WI: Ford had built the Mustang as a wagon?

    Now y’all have me wondering if a hypothetical 2-door wagon Mustang would be marketed as a performance wagon in the 1960s US or as the shooting brake it actually would be. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I always understood “shooting brake” to be a British turn of phrase. Of course being born in...
  6. Explain the AH Quote

    A dialogue exchange from a television adaptation of Passion of The Altepetls, a book written in the late 19th century during an indigenous renaissance in Mexico. Specifcially, the book was inspired by Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which the author heard of when his paternal uncle (a Mexican...
  7. AHC: no nationalism

    "Nationalism", as the term is commonly used, isn't synonymous with "tribalism", but rather something like "the belief that there ought to be, as far as possible, a one-to-one correspondence between ethnic and political borders". And contrary to what people have been saying, nationalism hasn't...

    What is happening in White Harbor?
  9. DBWI Hindenburg appoints a civilian government in 1933

    The problem with Weimar was that no one loved it. Many people from the germanies blame hindenburg for the country breaking up, all of the political parties wanted their piece of the pie and ended up either creating or retreating to their strongholds and then the country was split apart by...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    As OTL's Constantine XI died in the 1440s, was he assassinated in a power struggle or did he have an unfortunate accident or illness which killed him off?

    What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    I bow to your greater knowledge and experience of the course of the war.
  14. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    He was in love with his OTL bride. Here he was forced to marry a woman who he do not wanted. Marguerite is just lucky who Charles is a better person than her own brother (Francis treated Eleanor very badly, and his own actions suggested to Charles the idea of a match between them) Not really...
  15. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Well, Disney did own DiC Entertainment during the making of their Sailor Moon dub in our timeline, thus technically making Usagi a former unofficial Disney Princess under the same vein as Tinker Bell.
  16. What if Argentina won the falklands war?

    I cannot help but feel a lot of this is coloured by hindsight bias; that basically put, all those British military officers and politicians worrying during the conflict were basically fretting about nothing - that the UK was almost destined to win regardless. Instead - as I suspect - much more...

    I just felt your character could be a bit bolder and the theme would be perfect for ASOIAF. Then my thoughts strayed to Claire Underwood voila!
  18. French Demographics without a Violent French Revolution?

    So a French Revolution where the king sees the writing on the wall after losing control of the situation and signs on to a constitutonal role and does not flee the country which in turn prevents his execution and makes the British less willing to escalate with coalitions.

    My story of introducing a strong woman character? Also, will do. It's 1 AM right now but I should have enough left in me not to crash for another twenty minutes.
