    Could Bavaria retain Salzburg and Tyrol after the Napoleonic Wars?

    As the title says. During the Napoleonic Wars, Bavaria occupied Tyrol and Salzburg, but during the Congress of Vienna (IIRC), they ceded these territories to Austria. Is there any way Bavaria could retain them after 1815? If so, how? What would its consequences be?

    Could Valentinianism have become the dominant Christian sect?

    As per the title. What would it have taken for Valentinianism to have become the dominant Christian sect? What would a Valentinianism that became the dominant form of Christianity look like? Also, Valentinus was apparently a candidate for Pope at one point. Could he have become Pope, and if so...

    WI: Lovecraft lives into old age

    So say, for whatever reasons, Lovecraft's cancer goes into remission before his death, and he is able to live a long life— say, for the purpose of this discussion he lives until the 1960s or 70s. How would his career be changed by the social upheavals of World War II and its aftermath? Would he...

    WI: (Near-)Complete Destruction of Daoist and Confucian Texts

    Suppose Qin Shi Huangdi had successfully destroyed the Confucian and Daoist texts to such an extent that even after the Han Dynasty was established, they are unable to piece them back together in any meaningful way; also suppose that anybody who had memorised them were successfully killed. What...

    WI: Germany invades NORTHERN Belgium in 1940

    So assume that for whatever reason, the German plan to attack France through the Ardennes is scrapped and the Germans end up attacking France through the northern Flemish plain à la 1914- which was exactly what France was expecting. What happens next?

    The Edelweiss Blooms 3.0: A TLIAW

    All right, third time's the charm. This time, I actually have a plan set out, so I do have a reasonable chance of completing it this time, especially since I have a week. Once again, credit is given to all other TL writers out there (and Zoidberg12 in particular) if I have intentionally or...

    WI: The Bible is Translated into Scots

    Let's say some early Scottish Presbyterian around the 16th century decides to translate the Bible into vernacular Scots. How would this change Scots' linguistic standing? Would this be able to avert the view that it's basically "English, but with silly words"?

    The Maximilliad: The Edelweiss Blooms Rebooted

    My second go at the concept I first introduced in The Edelweiss Blooms, where Maximilian becomes Emperor of Austria. Unlike the previous TL, this will be a full "history book" format, and I intend to take it from 1853 to the early 20th century, perhaps with an epilogue outlining the events from...

    Tony Jones's Science Fiction Page

    People probably know Tony Jones as the creator of Puritan World and other such timelines. However, he apparently has a science fiction page as well with a bunch of strange alien races, like gas giant dwellers and the like. And ye gods, do the Wustruu sound like something that could be in this...

    Leviathan

    I've been reading it recently. Yeah, I know it's ASB as fuck, but it's still pretty awesome! :cool: I don't know why the Duke of a German royal family has a Polish name, though. :rolleyes:

    No "Forty-Five". What Happens to the Highlands?

    In OTL, one of the biggest reasons for the disintigraton of Highland traditions like the Clan system was the government backlash against the Highlanders after the Jacobite Rebellion in 1745. But assuming, for some reason (Bonnie Prince Charlie's ship is sunk, Prince James gives birth to a...

    The Kingdom of the Talking Cross: A Mayan Success Story

    Prologue At first glance, the existence of the independent Maya Republic is an anomaly in Latin American history: in a region dominated by the descendants of Spanish-speaking colonists, the Maya Republic predominantly consists of indigenous Mayas who choose to speak their own rather than...

    Liberal Austria vs Bismarck's Prussia

    I'm still trying to reboot the Edelweiss Blooms, and another huge issue that would be very problematic to Austria is that of Prussia and Germany. How exactly would Maximilian face Bismarck, especially since Austria recently fought a war with France ITTL? In particular, how would Maximilian face...

    WI: No Babylonian Captivity

    IOTL, the Babylonian conquest of Judah and the subsequent Babylonian captivity was one of the major factors for the monotheism of Judaism (the Jews [or at least the commoners] previously worshipped several deities, such as Asherah, with YHWH being the 'national' god of Judah), as many began to...

    Pantome Colour Chart

    I found this huge repository of RGB values for the paint made by Pantome. I figured it could be a really useful source for Munroist mapmakers. :)

    James I stays in Scotland

    Let's say that, for whatever reason, James VI decides to remain in Scotland in Edinburgh instead of moving to London. What would the consequences of this be, and how would this affect Anglo-Scottish relations?

    DBWI: Lauren Faust's My Little Pony

    I was looking around on a website about Lauren Faust, and it said that before she made Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, Faust was a candidate for making the next My Little Pony generation, but she turned it down. So what if she accepted the offer and made My Little Pony instead of Milky Way? Do...

    The Edelweiss Blooms: the Reign of Emperor Maximilian of Austria

    All right, a lot of you probably seen me discuss the possibility of a TL where Maximilian is crowned Emperor of Austria after the assassination attempt on Franz Joseph succeeds, but thanks to my l33t procrastination skills, I unfortunately delayed making this TL for a long time. However, with...
