    Threadmarks: Foreward

    Foreward On the venerable source of wisdom that is TVTropes, there is a page entitled the “Sliding Scale of Alternate History.” This scale aims to explain the different approaches that authors take to works of alternate history fiction.

    We Shall Go On To The End: A History of the Second Great War
    Threadmarks: Introduction

    Introduction I know that this might seem like a macabre topic, but I’ve been intrigued with the idea of a Second Great War for some time now. The postwar period in Europe was chaotic, and the seeds for future conflict could have been easily sown had different decisions been made and different...

    No Compromise of 1790?

    I’m curious- what possibility was there of the Compromise of 1790 (Federal assumption of state debt in exchange for the southern capital) failing or not occurring? What impact would that have had on the future United States? How would states be able to handle their debts? How much would it...

    Njal's Saga Chapter 155 “Of Signs and Wonders” It so happened one night that a great din passed over Brodir and his men, so that they all woke, and sprang up and put on their clothes. Along with that came a shower of gold. Then they held out their helmets, and they were filled with the gold...

    If the Hindenburg was Carrying Helium...

    If the Hindenburg had been carrying the more expensive helium (America had embargoed it to Germany, and they had the largest supply) instead of hydrogen, and thus not caught on fire, what would have happened to zeppelin travel? I don't think zeppelins would have lasted very long. They would...

    May 21, 1453 Constantinople, Byzantium “Your Imperial Majesty! A Turk ambassador comes under a flag of truce!” Constantine XI looked up from the map on the table. He was tired; this siege had weakened him greatly. He stared at the soldier for a few seconds. “I will receive him.”...

    No Bayonets?

    Was the bayonet destined to be invented? Is it at all possible for the bayonet to never be made? And, even if it is made, is it possible for it too not catch on? How would warfare be effected by a bayonet-less society?

    Native Victory at Tippecanoe

    Is it possible for the Native Americans to win at Tippecanoe? Under the Prophet, it's probably not likely, but if Tecumseh returned earlier (or never left), could they have defeated Harrison? What would be the ramifications for the United States? Would Tecumseh's confederacy gain more...

    Rome and Parthia joined at the... womb?

    Alright, Emperor Caracalla, way back in 216, sent a request to the Parthian King Artabanus to marry his daughter (potentially creating a heir to both kingdoms). In all actuality, Caracalla massacred the diplomatic team sent to arrange the marriage and launched an invasion of Parthia. But, what...
