  1. Help required - Averted American Revolution: Britain and the world after 1800

    A couple of months ago I came across the rather underused POD of the 1767 budget passing through the British parliament un-amended as a result of Pitt the Elder's gout not flaring up for another year or two. Over the last few months I have researched British and American politics in the late...
  2. How would Gaitskell have handled the Suez Crisis?

    Lets say Atlee stood down as Labour lead after defeat in the 1951 election and Gaitskell became Labour leader.

  3. A Matter of India

    I have been pondering over a TL where Labour is elected in the UK general election in 1924 leading the Geneva Protocols securing a more stable League of Nations and economically integrated Europe.

  9. Russian Intervention in the 2004 Orange Revolution?

    Say in November 2004 during the Orange revolution in Ukraine would a more aggressive Russian foreign policy allow military intervention to support Viktor Yanukovych (who wanted a Ukraine geared towards Moscow not the west)? If so how would the rest of the world react? For example would Belarus...
