  1. The Plantagenet Succession
    Threadmarks: Joanna, the Mad Duchess of Burgundy - by Abejundio Hernández (published in 1995).

    In 1474, Edward IV contracted a marriage alliance with King James III of Scotland, whereby Cecily was betrothed to James, Duke of Rothesay, the future King James IV of Scotland. Because of this, she was styled Princess of Scots for a time. This agreement was unpopular in the Kingdom of Scotland...
  2. European culture withou ww1?

    I don't know alot about the history of jazz, but it obviously does predate World War I. And it almost certainly would have migrated to Europe no matter what. But without the War, it's gonna pass through very different cultural filters, both in the US and Europe.

    AHC/WI: Stronger IJN light cruiser line

    That is true. However, that did have the silver lining of making the Mogamis possibly the most durable of all the IJN's heavy cruisers. See the pounding Mogami took at Midway; if Mikuma's torpedoes had not exploded, it is likely she would have survived too. Kumano survived getting her bow blown...
  4. Sheep pastoralism in Japan and Korea

    Former Yugoslavia and Corsica are both mountaineous places where pastoralism played a significant role. I myself don't subcribe to this fully, it's a hypothesis after all not a proven theory.
  5. William Howard Taft succumbs to a heart attack in 1909

    WWII might be different too, or not occur at all. An earlier end of WWI means (probably) a different treaty of Versailles. A Spanish Flu that is less deadly will have butterflies too. Might mean a different roaring twenties, and a different Great Depression. All together this can easily...
  6. European culture withou ww1?

    Yes, because without WWI, there is likely no Russian Revolution and no fascism, which means no WW2 and no Cold War etc. The only way you can get remotely close to where we are today is if you posit that the rise of totalitarianism and all that followed would have happened anyway, and the Great...

    The Plantagenet Succession

    Nice to see a successful marriage game. Hopefully Anne and Edward have many children, though that's doubtful.

    Was WW2 still inevitable without the Nazis?

    Translated into a modern principle of war. Do not concoct a stupid plan, belatedly realize it is a stupid plan, then leave copies of that plan laying around for your enemy to capture and use as an article of public derision against you.
  9. The Plantagenet Succession

    Soooo Edward breaks Cecily's betrothal to Rothesay and Anne's betrothal to Philip? And marries Cecily to Tudor? Edit: And no one in England attempts to forcibly overthrow Liz Woodville? Damn.

    European culture withou ww1?

    Less Jazz influence in Europe? Or would that rise anyway, due to Black American emigres, hoping for greater acceptance?
  11. Sheep pastoralism in Japan and Korea

    Many settled societies in Corsica and in former Yugoslavia have similar revenge taking behaviors.
  12. AHC: Peerless Air Ministry

    Apologies for posting here with a request for information. I'm trying to find a set of production numbers, and all my usual sources are failing me. Hopefully someone her can help. I'm looking for aircraft production by factory by month for the UK, for 37 to 45. Or any part thereof. Dominions &...
  13. WI: Catholic Church splits apart in the 16th Century

    No organized counterreformation for sure. Catholicism as a whole will be weaker
  14. Count of Crisco

    Alternate warships of nations

    I said existing designs that were either built or ordered historically. But I suppose a bit of mix and match could be allowed so long as the resultant ship is still clearly derived from such a ship. That being said for the traitor order how about a Soviet Soyuz class with German engines, and...
  15. A Difference Of Fate: A Late Roman Timeline

    Ricimer essentially switched sides to save his own skin when it became clear Majoran was winning, which I think was clear to Majoran.
  16. European culture withou ww1?

    Arts and literature would be entirely different. Even without getting into stuff that was directly political or war-related, you're gonna have no dada, no Second Coming, no Waste Land, and no Lost Generation, just for starters.

    Was Nikita Khrushchev was he good for the ussr?

    The emphasis was not on the machinery itself, the emphasis was on the machinery in the hands of a certain economic strata and then using that machinery investment to further intensify the power dynamic between the owners of the machinery and the wage laborers. In this case, the Soviet...
  18. The Plantagenet Succession
    Threadmarks: The Power of the Plantagenets - by Alison Weir.

    Now that I've altered the first section - I realised I had Richard and Anne executed before their imprisonment - here's the second section. An excerpt from The Power of the Plantagenets - Published June 6, 1999, by Alison Weir. As he grew into his teenage years, having his mother as regent...
  19. WI/AHC: US aligned Asia, USSR aligned Europe.

    think its possible that the Cold War ends sooner. Combined population of Germany, France, and Italy in 1989 was some 180-200 mln. China in 1937 had already over 500 mln. with no Europe to prop up, UD and UK should pour much more money to the Middle East, and Africa. Probably no Ba'athist coups...
  20. Alternate warships of nations

    Here's a mildly interesting PoD. Active anti-torpedo defenses are developed and deployed before the Second World War. These consist of broadly two systems: 1. Barrage explosives. Basically small-ish explosive projectiles, fired in clusters by rocket, spigot or launcher in the general direction...
