  1. Most Interesting Early American TL?

    I voted "other", as I'm interested in the consequences of no Louisiana Purchase.

  2. With The Crescent Above Us

    Good update, but I doubt the Ottomans would be as neglectful towards their navy as they were IOTL. I'd imagine, with having a much larger coastline, and having extra revenues relative to OTL with the retention of the Balkan territories, they would try to retain at least a relatively potent navy...

  3. Central Asian Ottoman territories

    It's very hard, but not impossible. Personally I think the only way it could have realistically happened is if the Russian Empire suffered a revolution and civil war analogous to OTL, and having an Ottoman Empire that was relatively strong and untouched by any major war. If the Ottomans stayed...

  4. With The Crescent Above Us

    ITTL, Wilhelm was accidentally shot in the head by Annie Oakley, as covered two updates ago.

  5. With The Crescent Above Us

    I admittedly know little of American history in this period, although it seems that ITTL the Democrats will be considered the more imperialistic of the two parties. I can definitely appreciate the significance of you having killed off Wilhelm however...

  6. Assiniboia, A Métis Story

    I don't think I've ever seen anything about the Metis on this Board before. I'll definitely be following this.

  7. With The Crescent Above Us

    Brilliant TL thus far Nassir, keep it up! :) Presumably Russia has decided to focus more on Far Eastern expansion following the Russo-Turkish War ITTL, what with a stronger military presence and an earlier constructed Trans-Siberian Railway? I'd also be interested in knowing, as...

  8. Alternate Football Scores

    30th April 1986 Oxford United 1 Everton 3 Assuming Gary Lineker's claim he misplaced his boots that affected his performance before this match is true, and ITTL he doesn't. He goes on to score a hat-trick, meaning Phillip's 88th minute strike is nothing more than a consolation. Everton go on...

  9. Is this a plausible outcome of WWI?

    Canada isn't divided, the darker shade represents territories as opposed to actual provinces. Also Newfoundland was its own separate dominion at this point anyway.

  10. Is this a plausible outcome of WWI?

    I assume Spain joined the CP ITTL, given their acquisition of Morocco and Mauretania? If so I'd say it was overall, though I'd say a British Empire so badly affected to lose all semblance of control over the dominions would be very hard-pressed to retain any control over India. Also, what form...

  11. With The Crescent Above Us

    Well, sometimes being overthrown can help extend an ex-monarch's life, as seen with Kaiser Wilhelm II in OTL, as being removed from office can relieve them of the pressures of responsibility. Abdul Hamid's paranoia can't have helped him either, both OTL and ITTL. In any case his life is only...

  12. Ottoman Victory in 1877-78 War - Need Help

    Just thought I'd bump this. I know Abdul will be busy with RL and that this TL will take a long time to write out but it would be nice to see how things are going at the moment.

  13. Best case scenario for the Royal Navy?

    I take it you mean the Rule Britannia TL? I agree, it is a very impressive TL but, no disrespect intended, I don't find it the most plausible scenario, at least long-term.

  14. Best case scenario for the Royal Navy?

    I'd already forgotten about Landshark's thread! :o (Assuming that's the one you mean?)

  15. Best case scenario for the Royal Navy?

    Sorry if this has been done in the past but, with a POD in the 20th Century, what is the most powerful the Royal Navy can be, both in terms of relative and absolute power, and in terms of global reach?

  16. What was the latest year that the Ottomans could've made a comeback?

    It's entirely possible that a war akin to WWI would still take place, that would still potentially cause enough damage to the European powers. Also, had the Ottomans defeated the Russians in the 1877-1878 war that could inspire Muslim nationalists in a way they weren't in OTL (with a Muslim...

  17. Successful Gallipoli

    With the war ending a lot earlier, it's possible the monarchy in itself will survive, but the German population won't want Wilhelm II himself to retain the throne, it would probably be passed to his son. I'm not sure about the terms of the treaty being worse, without an independent Poland...

  18. Successful Gallipoli

    I'd imagine so, yes.

  19. Successful Gallipoli

    I agree, in the event of Bulgaria joining the Entente they would probably want Adrianople, which they won in the First Balkan War, but which they lost to the Ottomans again in the Second.

  20. Successful Gallipoli

    Actually, Abdul Hadi Pasha has also pointed out that the defenders of the Dardanelles Straits had only used up a sixth of their available ammunition, as confirmed by the official Ottoman and German records, and that's taking into consideration that the main battery defending the Straits hadn't...
