    The World of Tricolors and Traditions: Human History Without Napoleon

    Finally got around to reading this all. Its a fascinating journey so far, with some interesting surprises and roads not taken that I didn't expect. And for that matter, some roads taken that I didn't expect either. I do somewhat have to question the European situation being so stable for so...

    I haven't even finished reading the post yet but as someone very interested in the history of India and British rule in India, I have to say, this is amazing work. I have also spent time trying to correct disappointingly bad cartographic portrayals of India (albeit primarily on the Worlda and...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Honestly, looks like it could make a fun Not!Earth fantasy map.

    Glad to hear it! I hope it will be worth the wait, there's a a rough stretch of the beginnings of it in my test thread.

    Thanks! Hope you're doing alright too? I hope to have the TL started this summer but one downside of uni study is all the extra research is so time consuming

    Hello! Yes, I remember well. It feels a long ago since I was writing that, not least because I remember you writing Indian updates when I didn't really know enough and I've since written two uni theses on the EIC! I'm not too bad thanks, but currently no TLs in progress. I'm working on planning...

    Could the British Empire have continued with the American colonies dominating it over Great Britain?

    Parliament didn't refuse to acknowledge colonial rights. They refused to acknowledge the rights of the colonies as the colonies defined them (primarily from no legal basis and just accumulated tradition from what they had got away with under salutary neglect). Parliament actually went out of its...

    Could the British Empire have continued with the American colonies dominating it over Great Britain?

    This is pretty much nonsense from a British political perspective at the time. In the minds of every single member of the British establishment, including those who were more sympathetic to the Americans, Parliament was the supreme authority over Britain and the British empire. Colonial...

    Could the British Empire have continued with the American colonies dominating it over Great Britain?

    Not really, because the military and aristocracy didn't ride roughshod over anyone in Britain, or, for that matter, the American colonies.

    Could the British Empire have continued with the American colonies dominating it over Great Britain?

    British North America expanding into Louisiana makes too much sense to not happen eventually. Whether it was by the colonists dragging the British government along kicking and screaming or the British government just stealing colonies during the next big European war is debatable tho. I doubt...

    Could the British Empire have continued with the American colonies dominating it over Great Britain?

    Unprofitable? Really? It had a lot of financial problems but those were more from spectacular corruption than not making money. The vast wealth went into individual pockets and carried on going into dividends even as it was being bailed out by the British government. Their expansion benefitted...

    A very nice map, it's always (but sadly uncommon) interesting to see alternate Indias from this era and especially an alternate India that isn't dominated by one power. I'm also now fascinated to know how India looks like that in a TL with a PoD in, IIRC, the Corsican Crisis.

    Just searching for topographic maps finds similar things in Google images.

    Nice, continuing my tradition of getting on the list of most popular maps but nowhere near the top.

    If you're asking if its eligible to nominate the whole thing and not just the map then yes, that's fine. If you're asking if the voters take into consideration the whole graphic then that's impossible to say but probably yes.

    All To Play For - A Very British Football Redux TL

    Oh wow, both this and the original have been regular fixtures in my alerts on this site for more time than I can remember! Thank you for the TL, I'm sorry to see it end, even if it's just until the next tournament!

    Off the top of my head, Egypt, Nubia/Kush to the south of Egypt, Minoan Civilisation on Crete, Sumer in Iraq and Indus Valley Civilisation in India/Pakistan. Not sure about the one in southwest Iran.
