  1. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter VI: Shifting Alliances and Imperialist Adventures, 1892-1898.

    No replies? I hope a fresh update can change that! Chapter VI: Shifting Alliances and Imperialist Adventures, 1892-1898. The Bismarckian system aimed at keeping the peace and maintaining the diplomatic, political and economic dominance of the German Empire collapsed with the dissolution of...

  2. If you could change One event post 1900..?

    I would have Franz Ferdinand catch a cold and reschedule his trip to Sarajevo, entirely avoiding assassination. That means no WW I. And the more time passes, the more unlikely war gets, at least with the particular alliance systems in place. Russia would eventually grow too strong for Germany to...

    Threadmarks: Chapter V: The End of Slavery and the Shadows of Berlin, 1881-1892.

    Update time! Chapter V: The End of Slavery and the Shadows of Berlin, 1881-1892. In the United States, Grant didn’t pursue a third term as he was diagnosed with throat cancer a few months before the elections and instead he endorsed his Vice President and former Ohio Governor Rutherford B...

  4. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL

    I did have them pay a lot for Cuba, didn't I? I changed the sum to something more realistic.

    Threadmarks: Chapter IV: Confederate Expansion, the Russo-Turkish War and the Congress of Berlin, 1877-1881.

    The Second Empire was pro-Confederate, but the Third Republic that came after it wouldn't have been IMHO. So, if France is pro-Union, then it makes sense for Germany to warm up to the Confederacy. Anyhow, I thought I'd post another update today for y'all, so here goes: Chapter IV...

  6. If Nuclear weapons are not developed when does WW3 occur?

    Would a lack of nuclear weapons disencourage Truman from proclaiming the Truman Doctrine? I doubt it. In the meantime, the equivalent to the Manhattan Project will happen with a post-1933 PoD. If Enrico Fermi somehow never carries out his experiment of bombarding uranium with neutrons, someone...

    Threadmarks: Chapter III: Confederate Elections, the Second Mexican Empire and the Franco-Prussian War, 1867-1877.

    The butterflies flap their wings in Mexico and Spain in this next update. Chapter III: Confederate Elections, the Second Mexican Empire and the Franco-Prussian War, 1867-1877. Initially organized political parties had deliberately not been formed during the civil war, but after 1862 two main...

  8. American civil war delayed until 1869, what are the consequences?

    If it doesn't, any attempt at secession will be dealt with relatively swiftly when compared to OTL's Civil War.

  9. American civil war delayed until 1869, what are the consequences?

    If the slavery issue is kicked further down the line by Democrats winning the 1860 and 1864 US Presidential Elections, a compromise might be reached. But this will only be temporary. For starters, the economic and demographic imbalance will only tilt further to the North in these eight years...

  10. French Victory in Seven Years’ War: No American Revolution?

    It's not exactly my area of expertise, but logic would seem to dictate that the French might not be so keen on supporting the American revolutionaries because that might give their own North American colonial subjects funny ideas. Now if there was a chance to absorb the British colonies they...

  11. Ukraine is never a member of the Soviet Union

    The Germans briefly created a Ukrainian vassal state. I suppose in time this could evolve into a truly independent Ukraine in the long term in a CP victory scenario. In a CP defeat, a longer Russian Civil War and/or a far more successful Poland in the Polish-Soviet War could result in Ukraine...

  12. 'Blood-Stained South' - A Confederate Victory Timeline

    It will be interesting to see how this differs from my own ongoing TL on the same subject.

    Threadmarks: Chapter II: Secession Formalized, 1862-1867.

    Update time. Chapter II: Secession Formalized, 1862-1867. One country after another extended diplomatic recognition to the Confederate States of America. Great Britain was at the helm of the British Empire and was arguably the most powerful country in the world at the time, so it made sense...

  14. France doesn't declare war on Austria in 1792, does Europe still go to war?

    I admittedly only have basic knowledge about this part of history. Would Austria leave revolutionary France alone if Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette don't get amputated from the neck down?

  15. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter I: The War of Southern Secession, 1861-1862.

    With other projects on hiatus, I was inspired to write my own Southern victory TL detailing a Confederate victory in the American Civil War. I chose the same PoD as Turtledove, the infamous Order 191, but things diverge from there. To make certain I wouldn't inadvertently rip off Turtledove's...

  16. A better North Korea?

    Could you elaborate?

  17. A better North Korea?

    Get rid of the Kims and have sane people in charge. That should get you a long way towards these goals. The next trick is how to prevent North and South Korea from simply reuniting like West and East Germany or North and South Vietnam did.

  18. Would Alexei Kosygin succeed Brezhnev if the latter was shot in 1969? If not him then who would succeed him and what would their policies be?

    It's possible that Kosygin indeed takes over, which would result in some mild economic reforms. In turn those may or may not lead to the Soviet Union's survival, depending on whether Kosygin is succeeded by a hardliner or a reformist. Another option is that Suslov takes over, who would be a less...

  19. Would a failed D-Day effect the inter-German border.

    Honestly, the only way I see D-Day failing is if due to risk aversion or an error in the weather forecast Eisenhower gets told June 6 is a no-go. This forces the Allies to wait for two weeks until the next spring tide. If they do that, the entire operation gets hit by the largest storming in...

  20. Would a failed D-Day effect the inter-German border.

    The occupation zones had not been agreed on yet as that took place during the 1945 Potsdam Conference, if I remember correctly. I imagine the inner German border could change in the (admittedly unlikely) event that D-Day is a failure. The change might not be that big as we think though. A...
