  1. Non-Revolutionary United States Monarchy

    King Joseph, founder of the Hooker dynasty.

  2. WI: Confederate Leadership tried for Treason?

    I thank you for proving my point so clearly.

  3. WI: Confederate Leadership tried for Treason?

    The strange obsession on AH.com with hanging Confederate leaders frankly has a lot more to do with grinding modern political axes than it does with an impartial and rational reconsideration of the course of American history.

  4. Sea Lion in 1942 or 1943 after fall of Russia

    Years? Far, far longer than that, I think. A navy is not just a bunch of metal ships with guns. It is thousands of officers and crewmen who have experience at sea, who have been rigorously trained, who have mastered the complicated procedures of running a ship to the point that they can do them...

  5. How early could we get interplanetary spaceflight?

    It's frankly almost beyond belief that men landed on the Moon a mere sixty-six years after the first airplane flight.

  6. WI: no Free France

    It would have a not-inconsiderable impact on the war itself, for the Free French did provide considerable manpower to the Allied cause, especially in 1943, as well as critical intelligence from within France. But the main impact would be after the war. De Gaulle's great achievement was that he...

  7. DBWI: Hitlerist Germany?

    No, I mean that he thought he could make his living as a painter.

  8. DBWI: Hitlerist Germany?

    So he must have been pretty stupid.

  9. DBWI: Hitlerist Germany?

    Adolf who?

  10. AHC: Soviet amphibious invasion of British Isles

    Assuming that the Soviets aren't using nuclear weapons for fear of a nuclear response, I don't see how the Soviets can pull this off any more than Philip II, Louis XIV, Napoleon, the Kaiser, or Hitler could.

  11. Communist Anglo-Saxon country

  12. A United States Flag in a world with a CSA still existing

    You know, I never thought of this. I should have made mention of it in House of the Proud. My own guess is that the stars would be removed as the Union readjusts its view of itself in the years after the end of the war.

  13. Decisive Engagement on the Rapidan, 1862

    All of the enormous material and manpower advantages of the Union over the Confederacy would not mean anything if there is not the political will to use them. In this scenario, we could easily see a total collapse of political will in the North, especially in light of European intervention.

  14. Decisive Engagement on the Rapidan, 1862

    A very interesting POD. Another point to consider is the impact such a Confederate success would have on the mid-term elections in November. The Democrats might regain control of the House of Representatives, which could spell even further trouble for the Lincoln administration.

  15. WI: Hannibal Barca had an identical twin?

    Hannibal clearly had a pretty good relationship with his actual brothers, IOTL.

  16. WI: Hannibal Barca had an identical twin?

    Quite possibly. One of the tricky things about Carthaginian alternate history is how little we know about Carthage itself. We know about their constitution, thanks to Aristotle, but the details of their internal politics and power struggles are mostly unknown. Supposing a butterfly net is put...

  17. WI: Hannibal Barca had an identical twin?

    True, but Hanno kind of had the run of things as it was (near as we can tell, anyway, as we don't know much about internal Carthaginian politics). If the Barca faction had a recognizable leader and political organizer, we can expect things to be rather more even.

  18. WI: Hannibal Barca had an identical twin?

    Keep him back in Carthage to serve as the political enforcer of the Barca faction. Then that annoying Hanno fellow would be unable to limit supplies and reinforcements to the military Hannibal in Italy.

  19. WI: Mexico decisively won the Mexican American War

    Not back then it wasn't. The 25,000 Americans who died in the Revolutionary War represented 1% of the entire population (in either words, the equivalent of 3.25 million dead for today's America).

  20. DBWI:Communist Russia

    I thought the mods directed all communism-related threads to go to the ASB forum.
