  1. After the Assassination of Gerald R. Ford - a TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter V: The Iran-Iraq War, the Iranian Civil War and US Presidential Elections, 1980-1982.

    I think it would be a bit too controversial for the US to back a white supremacist regime openly. Anyhow, I have a new update for y'all. Chapter V: The Iran-Iraq War, the Iranian Civil War and US Presidential Elections, 1980-1982. The Iran-Iraq War commenced on September 20th 1980 with an...

  2. After the Assassination of Gerald R. Ford - a TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter IV: The Iranian Hostage Crisis, 1979-1980.

    And now Reagan's take on Iran. Chapter IV: The Iranian Hostage Crisis, 1979-1980. While the economic crisis continued, Reagan also had to formulate a response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Communists under the leadership of Nur Muhammad Taraki seized power von April 27th 1978. The...

  3. Wars that could have happened, but didn't.

    As to the latter PoD, I wrote a TL on that in 2010. That feels like a lifetime ago. Anyhow, the gist of it is that the Nazis and the Soviets were forced into an unholy alliance as a result.

  4. French Algeria in a timeline without WW2

    I don't see France holding onto the entirety of Algeria indefinitely. Their rule is probably extended by 15-20 years. I could see them turning places like Algiers and Oran into majority white French enclaves. Both Algiers and Oran can, in all likelihood, remain part of metropolitan France as...

  5. What other countries could have been 'Taiwanised'?

    One option I see is Italy going communist in the late 40s and the US backing up a monarchist government in Sicily and Sardinia. It's not very likely, but not impossible IMHO. Another option would be if Stalin reneges on his deal with Churchill and begins backing the Greek communists, resulting...

  6. Japan wins Battle of Midway, U.S. settles with Japan, U.S. helps to defeat Nazis by ‘44, but . . . long Cold War with Japan.

    Given that US shipyards were churning out aircraft carriers like sausages, this would be but a temporary setback to them. The invasion of Midway itself will in all likelihood fail and that will be spun as a victory. In the end atomic bombs still fall on Japan at some point. An interesting...

  7. After the Assassination of Gerald R. Ford - a TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter III: Oil Crises, Revolution and Stagflation, 1977-1979.

    Update time! Chapter III: Oil Crises, Revolution and Stagflation, 1977-1979. Ronald Reagan became President at a time when the malaise the American people felt couldn’t have been much worse, which extended to their faith in politics. One President had been impeached only to be pardoned by his...

  8. The Nucliad - A 1983 Nuclear Apocalypse timeline

    Interesting. I wrote a a 1983 nuclear apocalypse TL myself. I'm interested in how the two will compare.

  9. After the Assassination of Gerald R. Ford - a TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter II: Poisoned Chalice, 1975-1977.

    And the story continues. Chapter II: Poisoned Chalice, 1975-1977. Nelson Rockefeller was shocked, both by the fact that Ford had been gunned down and that he now completely unexpectedly became the new President of the United States after failing to obtain the Republican nomination in 1960...

  10. After the Assassination of Gerald R. Ford - a TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter I: Watergate and the Assassination of Ford, 1974-1975.

    So I've been working on a new project. I was reading up on the two assassination attempts on President Ford, neither of which succeeded. I decided to write a TL with this as the PoD because it has the real potential for a totally different 20th and 21st century. Without further ado I present the...

  11. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Part III: Victory

    Update time! Sorry for the wait. I've been ill with a serious cold that I've only just managed to shake off. Part III: Victory A number of Long Max 38 cm (15 inch) railway guns were rolled up to Calais and began lobbing shells at Dover, but the Germans wanted to hit London. In June 1917, the...

  12. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Part II: The Demise of the Habsburgs and the Fall of France

    The war continues. Part II: The Demise of the Habsburgs and the Fall of France Far from Europe, the Confederacy had waged its own war which was like a walk in the park compared to the large scale European battles. The Confederate States Navy carried out a series of amphibious landings that...

  13. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter VIII: The Great War, 1915-1919. Part I: Opening Moves

    Update time! We finally get around to TTL's analogue of World War I. Given the length of this chapter, I've divided it into parts. The war has its casus belli in Europe, which is why part 1 will focus on the European theatre. More on the Confederacy's fortunes in war in part 2! Chapter VIII...

  14. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    Threadmarks: Chapter VII: Naval Races, the Boxer Rebellion, the Tangier Crisis and Crystallizing Alliance Systems. 1898-1915.

    Update time!!! Chapter VII: Naval Races, the Boxer Rebellion, the Tangier Crisis and Crystallizing Alliance Systems. 1898-1915. The future Nicholas had become first in line for the throne when his father Tsesarevich Alexander (Tsesarevich was the Russian equivalent to Crown Prince) had died of...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    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...

  18. 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.

  19. Under the Stainless Banner - a Southern Victory TL
    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...

  20. 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...
