  1. The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    Whatever "weird" means, I'm pumped.

  2. Alternate Foods and Drinks

    Oh this is fun... -Any timeline where Currywurst catches on as fast food in the US is a timeline I'd move to right now -A Vinland time line seems likely to feature use of whales, seals, seabirds and their eggs, and dulse seaweed was consumed in Viking era norway. I would expect a variety of...

  3. Look to the West Volume V: To Dream Again

    Wow just caught up and I'm devastated that I have to wait for new updates now T_T In all seriousness though this is one of my favorite time lines I've read and I'm so happy to reach the most recent update of such a massive timeline and for once find that it's still alive. I'm keeping my eyes...

  4. Could the USA have ended slavery in the 1780s?

    That would have huge butterflies in the future. The balance of power would be heavily shifted towards free states. An alt-civil war would end way sooner without Virginia, the powerhouse of population that it was. When they would ban it matters though.

  5. An English Haiti?

    Well supposedly Dessalines chose the name based on a native word meaning "land of the mountains", so any pod before otl revolution may bring a different name for the country, unless the natives actually called the land that word and Dessalines is being given false credit. I know the Kalinago had...

  6. The Sons of Inti Shall Not Perish

    Yeah the vast majority are still practitioners of folk religions or buddhism, Japan is only about 3% Christian. He may be thinking about South Korea, which has a Christian plurality.

  7. AHC - Wheat Gluten (Meat Substitute) expands beyond East and Southeast Asia

    Seems unlikely if fish isn't considered meat....and beavers are considered fish.

  8. WI: A President Converts to Mormonism While in Office

    Yeah in that time frame I don't see a president converting benefiting anyone without having a tl where the Mormons don't get chased out of every place they stop between new York and Utah (exageration, but work with me). Even then, the mormon theology is so different from protestant or catholic...

  9. East: An Alternate History of Judas Iscariot

    It would be very interesting if ttl developed a version of the "lost tribes" idea, that each church corresponding to each apostle also corresponds to a tribe of Israel. Not that there would be any truth to it, but it would be interesting in the far future nonetheless. The world you are creating...

  10. AHC: Most possible nations with New World colonies?

    I really like the idea of the Knights of Malta holding a colony, especilly in a New World with less Catholic colonies. Could have a very interesting history, especially if it ends up essentially a colony of the Catholic Church. If the Dutch continue to hold Manhattan and Long Island, I could...

  11. A History of Alyska in Modern Times.

    Is "Atoria" a place name I am simply unfamiliar with, or is that ttl's Australia/New Zealand or another pacific island? Aotorea=Atoria?

  12. AHC: Centralist party in the US

    No its not really feasible without a pod long before independence or sometime after. Until they replaced the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution the USA government was more comparable to the League of Nations than most other political organizations; No federal courts, no body to...

  13. Population centers in a medieval N. America

    With the desert and Great Plains being important routes to continental trade, I would expect there would be plenty of motivation to innovate, perhaps expiramentaton with irrigation and farming techniques could be expected? Playing the right cards, whoever holds the desert trade routes could also...

  14. 1961 Goldsboro Nuclear Incident...What if?

    So I was watching Last Night Tonight clips the other night and was reminded of that one time in 1961 where a plane accidentally dropped 2 armed nuclear weapons near Goldsboro, North Carolina, and they miraculously didn't detonate. Of course, being a frequent reader of this website, my mind...

  15. No Sliced Bread

    Now this is an alternative history I can get behind. Banning sliced bread leads to more small bakeries which leads to there being a place besides Wegmans or a donut shop that I can get fresh baked goods! They apparently actually did this in 1943, though the intention was to cut waste during the...

  16. What are but two votes? - An alternate Civil War

    Well it gives Russia more money for the war and pisses off Britain because it empowers the US and gives additonal weight to America's claim to Oregon to keep Alaska contiguous (sp?). Plus, Russia may not be fully informed of the state of the Oregon territory, and even if it is they would be...

  17. Boudicca's Britain: The History

    Awesome start, gave a lot to look forward to. I love the incorporation of the Queen into a hero-god-cult. Subscribed.

  18. AHC: More linguistic diversity in America

    Catholics were actually one of the most hated groups for a long time, it's as much the reason we didn't annex all of Mexico after the Mexican-American war as its twin sister "but they're brown". Essentially it boils down to the protestants claiming that Catholics had more allegiance to the Pope...

  19. WI: Venetian Egypt

    I believe it took about 200 years for Islamization of the Egyptians to really seriously begin as a process, before that most local muslims were Arab migrants and/or administrators. The authorities didn't care about mass conversion so much that early, because ruling over Christians or Jews meant...

  20. Discussion: Alexander in Korea, the aftermath

    I'd imagine eventual invasion and/or vassalization by China, which will demographically dwarf this "Korea" and likely be technically ahead of them, as they are a groups of flung warriors thus reliant on what they remember (which will mostly relate to aesthics and military) and what is local...
