  1. Anne Boleyn's Brood

    That last update seems a bit unrealistic given Anne & Mary's personalities and the relationship the two had. Otherwise very interesting, though, I love Tudor timelines.

  2. AHC: Nonbiased Centrist Fox News

    A non-partisan Fox would likely have mediocre ratings like the other networks, while a separate right wing outlet emerges and crushes it and all other competition. There is clearly a big, profitable market for what Fox sells and there's no way it'll go ignored.

  3. AHC: North China,South China...Unified Korea.

    I would imagine that if the Nationalists managed to hold onto South China, Mao wouldn't be in a position to help Kim Il Sung. The CCP would have far less resources and have to devote all of it forces to guarding the Yangtze/wherever the border with south is, assuming the Civil War has even ended...

  4. WI: France Keeps Algeria

    After WW2 is definitely too late. Perhaps if the French government heavily subsidized immigration to Algeria from Southern Europe from about 1880 or so, when the area saw massive migration to the US/South America, the demographics would be altered sufficiently enough.

  5. Anne Boleyn has Multiple Daughters

    If Henry remains married to Anne until his death if anything it would mean Elizabeth takes the throne a decade earlier. There's no way her mother would allow Mary's right to the throne take precedence over her daughters. That'd make for a very different Elizabethan era, though, as much of her...

  6. AHC: Korean Empire restored after the Second World War

    I would think that, first and foremost, one would need to ensure Japan surrenders earlier so that the Soviets never get involved in Asian front. That would ensure that Korea remains whole, and likely an American protectorate. You're still left with the lack of political capital behind any...

  7. No Bush/Cheney

    I'd think one of the Maine Senators would work. Female, moderate, pro-choice but should still be acceptable to the base.

  8. Elizabeth I Marries Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester

    Perhaps have her only surviving children all be daughters, and arrange a marriage between her heir & James? That way the Union goes ahead.

  9. What if Soviets enter the Korean War in 1953 under a longer-lived Stalin?

    That would've been a total disaster, though. Hainan is significantly closer to than mainland than Taiwan is.

  10. WI: Reagan doesn't run 1980

    Would Ford really try to pull a Cleveland? He was pretty close to Carter during the latter's presidency.

  11. The real President Palin TL

    Vis-a-vis your first point, they can't, but you could simply have the PoD be a Katrina-scale hurricane forming and hitting New Orleans in 2004, with a similar botched response form the Bush administration. I agree with everything else though, particularly the second point; Palin was only picked...

  12. 大陸戰爭: The Mainland War 1912-1969

    So, just to be clear, this is a (theoretically) fully independent state and not an autonomous region of China?

  13. Chinese Australia?

    For starters, I doubt the Chinese court would want anything to do with any such settlement. The chances of it existing at all are fairly slim, though, since there's no incentive to travel further to a barren area when lucrative South East Asian kingdoms are closer and dime-a-dozen.

  14. Chinese Australia?

    I can't imagine a PoD that would make this possible. The issue here is the attitude towards colonization officials had - they saw no point in it. The initial Ming expeditions were largely to show of China's power, not subjugate other kingdoms or establish settlement colonies. Most migrants who...

  15. WI Mexico Wins the Mexican-American War

    I don't remember the exact statistics, but Mexico's population was somewhere less than a third of the US' at the time, concentrated far from the North, and did not have quite the high the level of inward immigration or migration that the US had. I don't see many more Mexicans flocking to the...

  16. WI: Empress Dowager Cixi died in 1881 instead of Empress Ci'an?

    A good PoD would be a few years earlier - Ci'an took over the reigns in the late 1870s thanks to Cixi falling ill. Have that disease kill Cixi, and Ci'an is left as the sole regent. Historians either characterize her as being naive and sidelined by Cixi or lazy and uninterested in governing -...

  17. WI Mexico Wins the Mexican-American War

    I doubt Mexico could pull off a big enough victory to reclaim Texas, especially given its large Anglo population by that time. It might've been able to secure a border at the Nuces River, though. Ultimately it likely would've lost much if not all of the territory it did OTL in the same manner it...

  18. WI: Russia annexes Manchuria

    Any protectorate would run into the same problems Japan's puppet state did, though. It probably would not make it past the 50s as the push for unification with China both within Manchuria and from whoever controls the rest of China at the time will be incredibly strong. The Russians were only...

  19. WI: Russia annexes Manchuria

    Technically, both Russia and Japan were in a great position to annex Manchuria during the late 19th and early 20th centuries given they had superiority over China in just about every aspect imaginable. The one strength China did have, however, was pretty much insurmontable - demographic. The...

  20. 大陸戰爭: The Mainland War 1912-1969

    Excited for the Mongolian update! Very good TL.
