  1. Richard killed during the Third Crusade

    Richard the Lionheart often fought pretty recklessly throughout the Third Crusade; let's just say he pushes his luck too far and he gets killed at the Battle of Jaffa where he seems to have been most at risk. With Richard out of the way and without his negotiations and the ensuing truce is the...

  2. Making History II

    I know there are quite a few Making History fans besides me here, so I thought it'd be good to let everyone know that Making History II is coming out in October 2009, and it looks pretty good. Screenshots: http://making-history.com/products/making_history_ii/screenshots Design Reports...

  3. Hapsburg Bulgaria

    After Alexander of Battenberg lost the throne of Bulgaria in 1886, Austrian Archduke John Salvator was apparently one of the leading canditates for the throne. Now as Bulgaria was in the Russian sphere of influence in the Balkans as deliniated by the Congress of Berlin, this created friction...

  4. Prime Minister Joseph Chamberlain?

    With a POD no earlier than the Liberal split, how can we have Joseph Chamberlain Prime Minister of Britain? What would his premiership look like? Perhaps Chamberlain becomes leader of the Conservatives/Unionists after the 1906 defeat? He might be able to defeat the Liberals in 1910, although...

  5. Spanish Civil War in TL-191

    Could anyone provide some more information about the Spanish Civil War in TL-191? I know that it was between Nationalists and Monarchists, but who started the war, and what areas supported which sides? Also, who were the Nationalists exactly? I'm assuming they were somewhat republican...

  6. German Basic Law - Rejected?

    Apparently the Bavarian Landtag (Provincial Assembly) rejected the Basic Law (German constitution) in 1949 during ratification. However, the Landtag said it would accept the Basic Law if 2/3 of the states ratified it, which is what happened. Is it plausible for other German states to reject...

  7. Stopping the Nazis - 1932

    I noticed that in the Weimar Republic's November 1932 election, the Nazis actually lost a few seats. While I haven't read too much about this specific period, is there anyway that Hitler can be prevented from gaining the position of chancellor after the November 1932 elections? I'm thinking...

  8. 1787 - Prussia doesn't invade Netherlands

    In OTL, Prussia invaded the Netherlands with the blessing of the Stadtholder to eject the Patriots from power. In general, the Patriots wanted to reform the government (although within the confines of the existing order), reduce the power of the Stadtholder (especially in the context of the...

  9. Napoleon Assassinated - 1800

    On December 24, 1800 a bomb placed by the chouans (royalist/peasant guerillas in Brittany) detonated moments after Napoleon's carriage passed by. Now if the bomb is detonated on time and Napoleon is killed, what will happen? I'm not exactly sure how the succession works, but I assume the...

  10. Kingdom of Peru

    General Jose de San Martin was a bit of a monarchist, and while he was Protector of Peru from 1821-1822 he actively promoted a monarchial form of government for Peru. He sent out agents to attempt to get a prince of the Spanish royal family, and failing that, get the Duke of Suffolk as the...

  11. Viable Progressive Party after TR victory in 1912?

    My question is this, can the Progressive Party founded in 1912 establish itself as a viable third party on the national level if Teddy Roosevelt wins the 1912 Presidential election? Let's not worry about the exact specifics of a Roosevelt victory, that's not the point of this thread. However...

  12. Franz Ferdinand wounded, not killed

    WI for one reason or another, both Franz Ferdinand and his wife survive the assassination attempt wounded, but alive. I think there's a pretty good chance that the ultimatum to Serbia still goes out at least very similar to the OTL version. The chain of events plays out and we have WWI except...

  13. Surviving German Monarchy after Defeat

    Is there anyway to preserve the German monarchy after the defeat in WWI? The defeat should be similar to what happened in OTL, although I guess the details can be messed around with a bit.

  14. Alexander Stephens - Confederate President

    Going into the 1st Confederate Congress/Convention, 3 people really had a shot for the (provisional) presidency, Jefferson Davis, Robert Toombs, and Alexander Stephens. Many people liked Toombs, but he had a horrendous drinking problem, and his conduct at one of the many social functions in...

  15. The Metamorphosis - ASB Literature?

    I'm sure many of us have had to read Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis in school or in other areas. I don't think very highly of it, but that's beside the point. Of course, the basic premise of The Metamorphosis is ASB, Gregor is turned from a human to a dung beetle overnight. The story then...

  16. Defeating the People's Budget

    With the passage of the People's Budget in 1912, the veto power of the House of Lords was removed. This was after 2 general elections and the threat to flood the HoL with 500 liberal peers. Now, my question is that can the People's Budget be defeated? This seems pretty hard to do, as it...

  17. Trying to Achieve a Successful Suez Crisis

    I have been reading up on the Suez Crisis, looking for ways to get a more successful end result for Britain and at least prolonging somewhat higher power status. This seems quite hard to achieve, as the lynchpin of any such POD has to involve US support or at least a lack of disapproval...

  18. Other nations operating supercarriers

    How can we reach a situation in which in addition to the US, other nation(s) are operating carriers similar in capability and size to at least the Forrestals? I think here that the most likely canditates are the UK and Japan. With Japan, the scenario would have to avoid World War II or any...

  19. The Great Pacific War

    I found this book when looking for books regarding the Japanese Navy in the college library. It is written by Hector C. Bywater. It was published in 1925, and it describes a fictional war between Japan and China/US between 1930-1933. My first thought would be to call it paleofuture due to the...

  20. Edward III inherits France

    WI instead of choosing Phillip of Valois, Edward III is chosen as the next king of France when the Capetians died out? The nobles did not really want Edward, so we have to find some way to get rid of English-French animosity around this time. Regardless, if Edward gets the throne peacefully...
