  1. Plausibility check: Holy Roman Bifurcation

    Just to get a few opinions, how ridiculous would it have been if the Holy Roman Empire had split in twine during or after the 30 years war or a similar conflict. Lets say in a Lutheran/Calvinist 'German Empire' and in a Catholic 'Holy Roman' variety.

  2. President George C Marshall

    How possible could a George C Marshall presidency be in the late 40's/early 50's?

  3. TL: Black Hammers on the Adriatic

    Vōdenus, god stridenes, vekədh myk. "Wodan, god of war, watch over me"; inscription on a votive sword found in the Venedo swamplands. My travels took me past Etruscan lands, over the borders of our Empire, and into the land of of the Atermallei(1), who call themselves Duediscus(2). While their...

  4. Any ideas on a WW2 era AC-47

    I've got some ideas on featuring an AC-47 equivalent in my WW2-Cold War TL, specifically on the Pacific Front around 1943-44. I'm thinking of a gunship with a quad-mounted .50 cal and a cannon of either 20mm or 40mm calibre, perhaps loaded with incendiary shells. I know the South Africans put...

  5. WI: End of European War in 1943, how will Pacific War follow

    The situation is roughly this: very shortly after the Battle of Kursk and the Invasion of Sicily a German military coup manages to take over, causing peace to 'break out' in Europe; rather sudden and messily, requiring a significant amount of troops and diplomatic power to handle the dismantling...

  6. 'Wehrmacht' tank development post WW2

    I know this is all a tad strange, but bear with me. Imagine a world where a successful 'Valkyrie' was carried out in 1943, the Nazis were all removed from power, and after a few years *Germany joins a NATO-analogue to oppose the Soviets, who have grabbed all of Eastern Europe. This means that...

  7. TL help; result of MacArthur's death in the early 30s.

    I've been working on a TL of mine some more (it's been 3 years since), and as a way of solving several problems as well as spice things up a bit I've decided to let Douglas MacArthur die of something (don't know what yet) in late 1931. Now, while there will be plenty of things changing in the...

  8. GUNS: Prelude to a WW2 and early Cold War TL

    I've been brainstorming a bit lately, and while I haven't put down much yet, I'm planning to make a TL that starts somewhere in the late 20s and ends in the late 50s, with a gradual butterfly effect (barely any until the mid 30s, and a quite different world around 1950). As of now, though, I'm...

  9. .280 British: How the Americans Took Our Guns Away

    Now, this isn't a TL or even a vague hint about it, though I am brainstorming on an early Cold War timeline. Because, in that timeline, things will eventually be messed up greatly, I want to give it a bit of a silver lining. One of those 'improvements over OTL' (which sounds odd and rather...

  10. How to: No Christian democracy

    I'm in the planning stages of what will probably be my first substantial TL (about time, really), and a significant part of it involves late 19th century politics. I thereby put it in this category, although it will probably move on to the 1900s (though not without significant butterflies). As...

  11. Different Dutch and German Thrones

    In another thread, Susano and I stumbled upon the idea that in both the Netherlands and Germany, there where Williams who were somewhat unfit to become king/emperor. Ofcourse, because the names are the same in English, I'll use the Dutch and German names instead. They might still be similar, but...

  12. WI: early Belgium, perhaps?

    What if the United Dutch states managed to remain independent, and how could this be accomplished?

  13. WI Mary of Burgundy doesn't marry Maximillian

    In OTL, Mary of Burgundy had many suitors, including the Dauphin and Maximillian of Austria. What if she married neither of these, or even a local?

  14. Third Reich Victorious by Tsouras

    My mother just returned form Canada, and has brought quite some books with her (thank the Canadian Dollar for that), including Third Reich Victorious edited by Peter G. Tsouras, a name I'm not entirely unfamiliar with (though a search on this site revealed nothing). Funnily enough, me mum knew...

  15. WI The Dutch Spoke German

    Note that the title is a gross simplification. After what was probably the sixth discussion on the subject with Susano, I'd figured that this ould indeed, make a good TL, as well as one that would prove somewhat fun to make. My WI here is that, not only does the High German consonant shift...

  16. Name of Norse Northern Scotland

    I'm looking for a suitable name for a Norse northern Scotland, covering everything north of the Central Belt. It's for a TL I'm working on. I do have to add that the people living south of them are not English. Can anyone help me out?

  17. Clovis turned to Arianism instead of Catholicism

    What would have happened if the king that made the Franks the power they were didn't convert from paganism to Catholicism, but choose Arianism instead? I start here with a rough basic timeline: January 493 - Gundobad, trying to become the King of Burgundy, kills his brother Chilperic and...
