    Reconstruction: The Roaring '20s

    It's next year, so it's time for me to start outlining what happens after the Great War. Picking up after the end of Lost Cause we saw the CSA surrendering to the USA and undergoing occupation by their victorious foe. Winning the war will turn out to be only half the battle as they wayward...

    Liberation of Wake, 1943?

    What would a liberation of Wake look like if it were launched in late 1943, early 1944. Given which path to Japan that is taken, obviously the island can be bypassed. But let's assume national pride demands American soil to be retaken. What sort of resistance could Japan put up so far from home...

    Tragedy on the Rappahannock: Fredicksburg, 1915

    Continuing the Great War arc, I'm returning to the Battle of Fredericksburg where the US Army attempts again to cross the Rappahannock and regain momentum against the CSA. Prelude To add to their problems, rain began to fall upon the battered landscape. Captain Dwight Eisenhower and the...

    Balkan Century

    Let me try this again. It's an offshoot of An Alternate History of the Netherlands and as the title suggest, it is about the Balkans. It's about the Balkan Revolution, the Balkan Union and the wars that plagued the Balkans in the later half of the 20th Century. As with much of my writing, the...

    Commonwealth of Hawaii?

    No, not the British type. What would Hawaii look like if it didn't become a State in 1959. Would it be in the same situation as Puerto Rico today? Would the Hawaiians have a substancial independence movement? How would their politics look? Or would a later admission into the Union happen at the...

    Lost Cause: Fall of the Confederate States of America, 1916

    I kind of give away the war's ending with the title. Following other Great War scenarios, this time I'll be taking more a political look at the war. Namely, the end of it, the dissolution of the CSA, how is ended and why it ended. I'm just outlining it at the moment. Prelude Sergeant...

    Moonlab; take two

    I'm rewriting Moonlab, trying to get it ready for publication. For those who never heard of it, it's basically skylab but on the moon. A moon base is chosen as the follow up for the manned lunar landing. Useful feedback is always welcomed. In fact, I encourage things that I've overlooked to be...

    Union of Balkan Socialist Republics

    It's a history that's an offshoot of my book. As always, useful criticism is welcome. I'm always looking for ways to improve it. I) Revolution The Great War (1913-16) pushed two aged empires to their breaking point and beyond. It is highly unlikely that the Balkan Revolution would have been...

    Serbia: The Sardinia of the Balkans?

    Sardinia-Piedmont played a crucial role in uniting the Italian Peninsula. Could Serbia fulfill a similar role in the Balkan Peninsula by uniting the southern Slavs into a single kingdom? Would they just unite Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia or would it grow beyond what eventually became Yugoslavia to...

    Fatal Crossing: Tragedy at Fredericksburg, 1915

    As with the other two Great War battles, the battle occurs after 1900 but the PoD is before... Fatal Crossing Tragedy at Fredericksburg, 1915 Prelude To add to their problems, rain began to fall upon the battered landscape. Captain Dwight Eisenhower and the survivors of his lay faced down in...

    32nd State

    I'm looking for some useful feedback in this rough timeline, like what else it could use that would make it interesting. What could be added to make it more readable. Something that might one day be expanded into a fake text book for Cuban State history. And I am well aware of the slim...

    River of Blood: Battle of the Tennessee River 1914

    As with Hostile Waters, the events take place after 1900 though the PoD would be before it. River of Blood Battle of the Tennessee River, 1914 Prelude For the first time in days, Private Wesley Hankinson listened to a world of silence. The silence was not complete for he could hear...

    German War (1974-80)

    An idea I had a while back and am now just getting around to writing. It deals with civil unrest in West Germany following the end of the war in Vietnam. Chapter 1 In the halls of the Kremlin in May 1975, the leaders of the Soviet Union and German Democratic Republic met to discuss...

    Fate of Third Rome with a surviving Second Rome.

    What impact would a long-lived Byzantium Empire have on Moscow and Russia as a whole? Moscow was sold as a third Rome, but if the second Rome lasted longer (or never fell), what role would Moscow and Russia have in the Orthodox World?

    Modern Templars and other Orders

    What would the Knights of the Temple be doing today if they still existed? The Knights Hospitaller run some charity work and humanitarian aid, including hospital trains in World Wars. What about the Templars? Would they be charity or would they stick with the banking route and be financial...

    Torpedoes vs Monitors

    How well would torpedoes work against something with as shallow as a draft as a monitor? I was thinking of the monitors built at the turn of the last century. Would a Great War submarine be able to sink one, or would the torpedo drive right under the monitor?

    Empire of the South Seas

    After playing some Victoria II, I've ventured on to yet another alternate history. This time it'll be about the Kingdom of Chile (1823-1931), how it established itself, expanded into Patagonia, the South Atlantic and reached out to (French) Polynesia. I've been working on the note for a couple...

    State of Cuba in the 21st Century

    What would Cuba look like as a State in the 21st Century? Would it be more like southern Florida? Would old people go there to retire? Instead of Miami, would Havana be the playground of the South? And if everyone went to Cuba instead of Florida, what sort of effect would that have on the latter?

    Hostile Waters: The Great Lakes Campaign of 1913

    A short alternate history that I want to eventually follow my other book (but for cheaper), this covers two naval battles between the USN and RN/RCN on the Great Lakes in 1913. It's a bit tough to classify since the PoD in pre 1900, but the events themselves are post 1900. Prelude On the...

    Polynesians in Australia.

    How come the Polynesians didn't colonized Australia, or at least its coast? They made it to New Zealand, Hawaii and even as far as South America, yet they seemed to ignore that largely empty landmass to the south and west. And what would the island-continent look like if the Polynesians landed...
