  1. "Goring's Reich" An Alternate World War II

    Excellent thread so far GB! Any chance we can get a map of Europe showing the new borders?
  2. WI Rohm found out about his planned purge?

    I could see a right-wing junta lusting after the Sudentland and Danzig/Silesia, but would they be willing take the risks and go for those regions? My understanding is that many in Hitler's regime thought his efforts were too risky.
  3. What countries/regions could have survived European colonization?

    I was originally thinking of a later POD than being discussed here, closer to 1600 or 1700 than the Spanish conquest of the Americas. BUT please keep the Inca/Aztec discussion going! I find it interesting :)
  4. What countries/regions could have survived European colonization?

    Pretty straightforward question I guess. What countries/regions that were colonized IRL, could have potentially remained independent?
  5. The Great Civilisation Is Just Around The Corner

    Is it soonish yet?!
  6. The Great Civilisation Is Just Around The Corner

    Excellent timeline so far! I'm curious to see how this could impact foreign relations in the future. Will Iraq still try to attack Iran when Iran has a US-backed and US-armed government? How will the USSR's campaign in Afghanistan be affected?
  7. Could support for Austria-Hungary be revived after its partition?

    I agree with Iori that a major stumbling block is opposition from Hungary, whose people were never entirely thrilled with the idea of Austria-Hungary in the first place. I could potentially see a "union of crowns" situation covering Austria and Hungary, but I can't imagine any of the other...
  8. The March of Time - 20th Century History

    Fascinating TL so far! I'm a little surprised the Japanese are showing so much restraint. I would have thought there would be more internal pressure for the Japanese to do, well, anything. Not a criticism, more thinking out loud :)
  9. Christian Lebanon?

    My best guess would be religious violence in neighboring countries leads to a large influx of Christians. IRL, large numbers of Christians fled from Iraq to Syria and other nearby countries following the violence in post-invasion Iraq.
  10. The Raptor of Spain

    Very interesting premise, a Christian Spain being forged by an Arab former Muslim! I look forward to reading more!
  11. Unique Austrian Culture

    So for almost all of its history, Austria has been considered part of Germany, or at least partly German in culture and history. What if, by the late 1800s, early 1900s, a unique Austrian culture, one noticeably distinct from German culture, had begun to develop? How would this have affected...
  12. Afrikaans in the New World (for lack of a better title)

    Afrikaans really became a unique language, at least from my understanding, after the British had ruled South Africa for a long time. So it wasn't an attempt to distinguish themselves from being Dutch as so much as a natural evolution of being far away from the country that speaks the mother...
  13. Desert reclamation/terraforming

    Well ideas to flood the Sahara have been around for a long time. The most famous idea was proposed by Ferdinand de Lesseps in the 1800s...
  14. 2008 Olympic boycott adopted by the entire west.

    I very much doubt that there would be too many nations that felt sorry for them. A lot of nations would however probably boycott the '12 Olympics, however they would probably mostly smaller nations or nations who have human rights issues of their own, like Belarus. I could potentially see...
  15. A German dominated Middle East?

    Question on the last part. Hypothetically, if Russia and the Ottoman Empire went to war (which while unlikely has an unfortunate history of happening), would Germany face anything more than a diplomatic backlash if they invaded say Palestine or even Syria/Lebanon? Its likely that France or the...
  16. A German dominated Middle East?

    While the Ottoman Empire was not necessarily friendly with most of Europe, Britain (and to a certain extent the French) greatly feared the chaos that the disappearance of the Ottoman Empire would cause, mainly the possibility of Russian expansion towards Constantinople. Also, as noted in the...
  17. George Bush chokes to death on the Pretzel

    I think while the White House would initially blame it on a heart attack like someone mentioned previously, I doubt that cover story would last for very long. The truth would be too ridiculous to cover up for very long. And as to the suggestion that Cheney or someone else would blame it on...
  18. The Canary Island Mega Tsunami

    There is a lot of evidence showing that the super-volcano under the Canary Islands could explode creating a massive tsunami that would devastate the Eastern United States as well as parts of the United Kingdom and obviously South America and Iberia. My question for you is, what do you think...
  19. What if Germany had classified Otto Hahn's research?

    I think there is a good chance that someone would have done the same research as Hahn within a year or two, which would have been enough to push back the development of the A-bomb several years after WWII ended, since it is likely that as several members have already mentioned, many researchers...
