  1. French Syndicalism WI

    Ol' Kosta was talking about France in the interwar period, and doing something different with it. I believe he was thinking a non-Soviet variant of communism, but I then suggested a sort of syndicalism. Whether he ends up using that or not, I'd like to examine that here. For a POD, I honestly...

  2. PC: France Splits in the Eighteenth Century

    Buggering newfangled acronyms... So, I have an original and perhaps even interesting idea for a TL. The problem is, it hinges on a fracturing of France in the mid-late 1700s, preferably along provincial lines, where the King of France rules a reduced Ile-de-France and little else. But, how...

  3. Yet another British America thread

    Having recently read a rather expansive history of the Seven Years' War, I've found myself quite enamored of Grenville's plans for the colonies. If only he had been able to explain his ideas more clearly... Now, the main crux of the colonists' opposition to taxation, as all American...

  4. Marshall Plan extended to Latin America?

    Yes, ES makes one of his rare forays into post-1900. So, I've been reading a history of Mexico and it got me wondering about how Mexico could be a major player in the post-war world. Then I recalled that Mexico, as well as Brazil and several other Latin American nations, fought with the Allies...

  5. Effects of an unconceived Islam on...

    Persia? How would the Sassanid state and Zoroastranism evolve without the conquest? India? Again, no Muslim conquests, but perhaps the Mongols and/or Turks would be redirected through the Khyber Pass, with stronger Persia and Eastern Rome? No Parsis, for one thing. Egypt? Christian, but a...

  6. The Farangi Raj, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love India

    1757-1763 Battle of Plassey- Mir Jafar, who in OTL kept his 35000 troops from fighting and became puppet Nawab for the British as a reward, decides against betraying Siraj ud Daulah, the Nawab of Bengal (POD). Siraj and his French allies overrun the British position, killing Robert Clive in the...

  7. French India and longterm effects thereof

    Suppose that during the Seven Years' War, Robert Clive was not the commander of the EIC forces, for whatever reason. Could be suicide, could be somebody else was put in charge, could be he didn't want to command, or perhaps he succumbs to some Indian disease or dies in a skirmish. Regardless...

  8. How can the Irish be made into West Britons?

    So, Catholic Emancipation, either attached to the Act of Union 1800 or without the increase in property requirements, or both. Perhaps Ireland included with the Act of Union 1707? The Irish, or at least the Protestant Ascendancy, were for it, but the new Brits not so much. Would one or several...

  9. Patrick doesn't convert the Irish

    Basically like it says, either he's never enslaved, he stays a slave or he makes it to Britain and never looks back, take your pick. Whichever you pick, the main point is the same, Ireland remains largely pagan, probably converted a couple hundred years later by Welsh missionaries. How much of...

  10. An Irish Reformation

    Alright, what are the possibilities for Ireland going Anglican or Protestant in during the Reformation? I can think of two ideas off-hand: Either a mass conversion to the Church of Ireland or a reformer similar to and perhaps inspired by Knox. Anyone know of any events that might cause one or...

  11. Canada as a trilingual nation

    What if, in addition to English and French, Canada had a third official language? Gaelic, spoken by many of the Scottish and Irish settlers, was the third most spoken language in Canada in the mid-1800s (At least according to Wikipedia). After its peak, it has largely died out, seemingly...

  12. EIC conquers Japan?

    Alright, let's say that sometime in the 1840s or early 1850s, some official gets it in his head to open up Japan to trade, if after 1850 assume Perry never went. Assuming, as OTL, that the Japanese resent this foreign interference, a resistance movement would spring up and the EIC would crush it...

  13. French don't enter the ARW

    Alright, here's an idea that's been rattling around in my thoughts for a bit and I'd like to see what you think. First off, without French help, would the colonies win their independence? My gut says yes, but only after a longer, harsher war. How much help did the French supply exactly, in...

  14. The Shamrock and the Thistle

    I previously posted the first two sections of this here. Duly reposting for continuity's sake: The Beginning In the year 1315, Edward of England had drawn a great deal of men and supplies from his estates in Ireland for his war in Scotland. Because the war had had little success, the Irish...

  15. Argentina switches to US dollar

    Read. Discuss.

  16. No Successful Muslim invasions of India

    Say one or several of the Hindu states head of Muslim attacks from the Arabs, Persians, Turks and whoever else established the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. And for the sake of this, the Hindu Kush is the western border of Hindustan. Off the top of my head, no Sikhs, no Urdu and no...

  17. My no-Rome TL

    The TL will begin with Brennus sacking Rome after becoming impatient with Roman negotiations. Rome will never fully recover, leading to Etruscan re-dominance in Italy. That's the pitch. I'd like this thread to be a sounding board for ideas. If you have one, please make it known.

  18. The History of the Gaelic Tribe (Senchus n-Gaelach Daimh)

    The Beginning (An Tossach) In the year 1315, Edward of England had drawn a great deal of men and supplies from his estates in Ireland for his war in Scotland. Because the war had had little success, the Irish tribes became rebellious against the English lords and their king. It was also in this...

  19. Corsica goes to Sardinia-Piedmont at the Congress of Vienna

    What if Corsica had been given to Genoa at the Congress of Vienna, keeping in mind that Genoa would be attached to the Kingdom of Sardinia?

  20. AH Challenge: Scottish Faroese

    In the same vein of V's thread... Just flowing in a different direction. Would that make it an artery...? Anyway, get the Faroese to become Scottish territory any time between first colonization and 1900. Scotland cannot fight any wars against the owners of the islands that they did not fight...
