    Threadmarks: 28. The End of an Era

    28. The End of an Era Alexander, son of Philip, Great King of Asia, King of Kings, was the archetypical Argead ruler. Like many of his successors he both founded and destroyed cities, he often waged war but was not above signing peace, and most importantly he was thoroughly Macedonian but he...
  2. WI: No Super Bowl

    So what if there was no Super Bowl?
  3. What if there was no plague in europe?

    It's important to remember that the Plague didn't happen in a vacuum. Last night I was reading Secular Cycles and the chapter on Capetian France, and it discussed how the population as already in trouble before the plague and was already beginning to enter into a cycle of decline. I don't think...
  4. What if communism didn’t exist

    Without communism there may be stronger social democracy. There may also be a split between Christian social democracy and secular social democracy
  5. WI: socialist parties in Germany and France oppose WW1?

    Well, as others have pointed out, if that had happened, the socialists would not have been able to stop the war in its tracks, and there would have been suppression. So, WW1 still starts. But that does not mean that such an attempt would have remained without very important consequences. No...

    The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Yeah, the Ottomans as we know it probably don't exist anymore. I mean, all that's left is basically the House of Osman itself and even that doesn't carry as much weight among their neighbors due to their numerous blunders recently.

    French Demographics without a Violent French Revolution?

    How would France develop demographically if the more violent aspects of the French Revolution and the warfare that followed were avoided? Would this lead to a France that's demographically stronger in comparison to Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary? Would avoiding the revolutionary wars...

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

    Well, I don't think they'll ever be the happiest of couples, but they both know they have to do their duty. A son would definitely help. You think he might try and poison her? At her own brother's court? That would be brave of him. I mean, I could see him refusing to sleep with Marguerite...
  10. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Considering how much time Mimar Sinar (the architect, i assume?) lived, i can see his reign being a extraordinary time for Albania, mayhaps their golden age, considering he is called "the Great", which i think even Skandenberg didn't receive. Maybe he will not live into his nineties, but it will...

    What if communism didn’t exist

    I don't know why the rest has nothing to do with Whatifalthist. I cited Cypher's 10 Soviet Myths there. Other than that, I don't know.
  12. WI: The Portuguese Fight on at Goa

    Not sure I understand what you're saying in the second line. It's hard to understand just what the government wanted. I was once told by a veteran that at one point a rifle company had to hand over their WW2 era Mauser rifles and replace them with Pre WW1 era Kropatschek rifles and 50 years...
  13. The 1917-1918 "Spanish"Flu pandemic ends WWI without a bonafide armistice or treaty.

    If they have the Brest-Litovsk treaty areas and can exploit them for food in 1919, that will greatly improve the German food situation to the point of basically ending the food shortages. The Germans never actually got to exploit Ukraine’s food resources IIRC because they only took it over in...

  15. Keep the Essex class as a strike carrier

    Ah. Still, steel is better than Kevlar for this purpose. Steel is stiffer, which means it requires less distance to stop an aircraft. Steel is also far more resistant to abrasion and chemical action, and fail gracefully instead of all at once. To put it in layman's terms, steel cares far less...
  16. Japan surrenders after Battle of the Philippine Sea

    Agreed, followed by anti-Communist purges in China. I would expect quite a few Chinese going north for refuge in the USSR.
  17. A Queen Twice Over: Mary Tudor the Elder Marries Francis I of France

    I think it might be Mary Talbot. Henry Percy is dead in this time line after all and she is being sent to court.

    I know, but I’m using the modern English alphabet to write the whole story. W is better for clarity.
