It would very likely get standardized similar to OTL. Italy and the Netherlands will pick a side and stick to it. If the entirety of Austria-Hungary stays on the left side it could influence other parts of Eastern Europe to adopt left-side driving, but it is unlikely. Sweden is surrounded by...

David will likely respond. But my take is the following: Unlike OTL, In TTL, the US was also ravaged by both Great Wars. After the 2nd Great War the US to invest in rebuilding and occupying the South rather than programs like NASA and the like that helped both the economic and technological...

Here is the other half of the fashion posts, it follows Kaiserreichs33 earlier posts as well. 1960s After the 1950s we calm down a bit, women’s dresses begin to slim down although accessories and hairstyles remain somewhat extravagant. Men’s fashion resembles OTL’s 1960s but goes “backward”...

A while back (about years ago), I began this TL about an independent California that never quite took off. At the time RL took over, shortly before my hard drive crashed, I thought I lost most of what I worked on and so let it die. However I still very much love the outline I wrote then. As...

@Vinization, if you are ok with it, I'd be down to make a map based on it for TTL, depicting the "Nepantla" period in Mesoamerica (say the situation in 1590), it might be good to know the players.

Just plain awesome! Really looking forward to see what other changes the Nepantla brings.

TBH I think it would be very hard to fully eliminate pro-basketball even if we assume the NBA goes broke, someone might buy it and turn it around or it will still exist in some form or other. Consider that even in OTL the NASL (soccer) stayed alive with even lesser TV ratings (or no TV ratings...

Continuing with the fashion posts, I might polish these further. But I think it should give a better idea upto the 1950s. The 1910s Known as the Titanic Style, the 1910s were characterized by opulence and – particularly in the latter half of the decade – experimentation. As the decade...

There’s a Salt Lake City in Greece?!

Backtracking a little bit to the earlier football posts. The Donaubundesliga The Donaubundesliga, informally known as the DBL, (official name, German: Donau-Fußball-Bundesliga, Hungarian: Dunai Szövetségi Labdarúgó Liga, Czech/Slovak: Dunajská federální/a fotbalová liga, Croatian: Dunavska...

Hahaha great minds think alike. Got to love those crazy 90s hats! I'd agree that jeans is a hard no. Crop tops mixed in with some of the fashion we going for (especially long dresses), I wouldn't rule out, but they would be seen as scandalous as the bikini when it first came out in OTL...

I know that the world is somewhat more conservative and that without women in the workforce during the world wars, the feminist movement in the west stalled. But I think we can go a bit crazier as you did in the 1950s. I like the idea of the 90s having an Edwardian revival (Titanic / Downton...

This is true, though it would still be a powerhouse. American films were already dominating European markets pre-WWI, with France and Italy being the two big exceptions. It is likely they will remain so in TTL dominating in their home markets and giving Hollywood fair competition in the rest of...

Don't see why it wouldn't or couldn't, but its origins would be different. The World Cup and the Olympics were already a thing before WWI and international competitions of the kind were all the rage both prior to WWI and during the interwar period (where they really took a nationalist bent)...

What would be the chances or what would need to happen for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to survive? Do you think that in the case of a surviving New Netherland and New France, they would be able to play the settlers against each other to survive (they would need to halt the inland advance of...

Fair enough. I will have to edit my Austrian Football Federation map and post that I was working on. On the bright side, this frees up the spaces I was using for the teams in Krakow and Lviv.

What happened to Galicia? I was making a map to follow up the soccer/world cup posts but I was including Galicia... any reason for Poland to get it?

It certainly wouldn't be a good time, but on the bright side there is no World War 2...

The Spanish Flu - or something similar - might still happen in the early 20th Century. A world without WWI would remain more integrated and globalized than OTL during this time; the lack of movement of troops would be offset by larger transcontinental trade. If we go with the theory that the...

s probably more likely than not in this case, and a very original idea for a TL.
