  1. Effects of a succesful Barbarossa

    IIRC Hitler considered the United States as the final enemy to win. Once the war in Europe is finished, Hitler wanted all prepared for the future conflict with America. (IIRC Gerhard. L. Weinberg mentions it). Also for example "Because it looked as if this war was over, Hitler and the military...

  2. WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

    could be ;-) Although in http://www.napoleon-series.org/ it is more or less mentioned the fact although is not indicated with the sentence of "carefully timed to catch as many as possible by surprise". At http://www.napoleon-series.org/research/government/diplomatic/c_quasi.html it is indicated...

  3. Fall of II Duce: The Mediterranean under German rule

    I personally think that being the principal obsession of Hitler or to have an alliance with Poland against the Soviet Union (in fact Germany first steps after the taking of Czechoslovakia in march 1939 was to try to offer an alliance to Poland against the Soviet Union, in exchange of Danzig...

  4. WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

    Hmm. I think it seems that were the french the interested in made benefices of the capture of US merchantmen, and this originated the Quasi War https://history.state.gov/milestones/1784-1800/xyz http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/navalbattles16001800/p/quasiwar.htm (In fact there are a lot of...

  5. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    A great incognita. I suppose that could be it will be Philip II of Spain the first in reaction to the news of James VI as sucessor of Elizabeth I. He will try to made open gestures of peace or will try to fund some kind of rebellion in Ireland? Could be James VI only could react at the actions...

  6. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    Hmm. The interesting will be the relations with Spain, with the rememberings of the Spanish Armada, the failure of Drake in 1589, the possibility of a new Spanish Expedition, could be to Ireland when rebellions begin which will be the reactions of James VI? In OTL when he ascended to the throne...

  7. If the Franco-Prussian War Doesn't Happen, How Does German Unification Play Out?

    A pity truly. But if I remember correctly they had plans for some kind of landing, so then it had been a bloody failure? Naturally if France could reform its navy to have it with some kind of landing logistics, although I suppose that the best for Napoleon would be invest in railways and the...

  8. WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

    Yes, I agree. I had forgotten the Quasi War of United States against France of 1798-1800 in OTL

  9. WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

    Certainly this made the probabilities of travelling to USA low. Interesting information, la France c'est la France although the french government gives Lafayette little apart of annoyances.

  10. Administration of Byzantine Western Mediterranean

    Certainly this thread gives a lot of information about Eastern Roman Empire of beginning of XI Century. Very interesting to read.:) In reference to the Iberian kingdoms, certainly the difficulties in vassalize them by the Eastern Roman Empire would be a problem of logistics and distance, but...

  11. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    Hmm. To be sincere I dont know. Although could be stronger, at this time he is a younger man, although it's true that there is or there will be the problem with the Gowrie family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ruthven,_3rd_Earl_of_Gowrie

  12. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    Could be. But having not only England but also Scotland in an alliance against the possibility of a spanish intervention plus a marriage with a protestant wife made of James a more positive heir for England and I suppose a majority of persons in XVI' Englands would prefer this.

  13. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    I think that it would be plausible and probable.

  14. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    I think that probably James VI of Scotland would succeed Elizabeth I. Elizabeth I has no sons. James is her cousin. James and Elizabeth are allies since the 1586 Treaty of Berwick and the marriage of James with Anne of Denmark in 1589 has provided him a protestant wife. I think the most probable...

  15. Administration of Byzantine Western Mediterranean

    Well in any case Sicily could be soon conquered. With a better emperor as successor of Basil II George Maniakes had conquered all Sicily probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Maniakes

  16. Elizabeth I dies in 1589

    With the final failure of Drake expedition of 1589 against Spain it could be an interesting moment for Philip II to made plans for this afortunate event. But with the rebellion in Flandes and the spanish involvement in the French Wars of Religion, I dont think that he would be risk another...

  17. WI Marquis de Lafayette (successfully) prison breaks to USA?

    And what influence could have Lafayette in a possible British-American War?. In fact could the experiences of Lafayette with Revolutionary France (and I suppose that Lafayette would be not a friend of a possible French Empire) help to discorauge a possible British-American War?

  18. If the Franco-Prussian War Doesn't Happen, How Does German Unification Play Out?

    The french had also a great navy. In fact the prussian navy compared with the french navy of Napoleon III seemed a "toy" navy. France had plans to disembark in the northern coast of Prussia with the support of the overwhelming gun power of their ships. There was also the mitralleuse and the...

  19. La Tierra Fortunada: A Better, and Nicer, Mexico.

    France had the Pastry war against Mexico in 1838 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastry_War I suppose France could be of the european potences the more interested in look at the situation in Mexico. Could be the butterflies could affect the French Revolution of 1848.

  20. La Tierra Fortunada: A Better, and Nicer, Mexico.

    Santa Anna, Santa Anna,.. certainly in the history of Mexico of the first half of XIX Century is one of the repititive figures in the Mexican Political game of cards.:D
