  1. British don't take Washington, DC

    I've been watching that "War of 1812" on the History Channel, and I got an idea: what if the British had been delayed a day in taking Washington? If the capital's defenders had been able to hold the British out long enough, then the hurricane/tornado combo would have annihilated them, rather...

  2. Martial Christianity (or Christ-Fu)

    OK, here's how it goes: 352 (POD): A pagan Gothic warlord and warrior, Theodoric (not the later king) converts to Roman Christianity.

  7. Final Solution Successful

    When the Nazis were planning the Holocaust, they drew up plans of wiping out all of the European Jewish population: an estimated 11 million people. Some 6 million Jews were ultimately murdered before the Third Reich fell to the combined might of the Allied Powers. As sickening as it sounds...

  8. Roman Machine Ballistae

    I was watching a History channel special on Heron of Alexandria (also known as Hero); some might remember the AH I had written on the old forums about steam technology transforming Constantine's empire (having the seat of the Catholic Church move to Constantinople with him). Now, I just found...
