  1. WI Thomas Jefferson Captured/Killed?

    I doubt he'd be executed. He'd be detained and probably set lose at the end of the war. Doubt that would even butterfly away his presidency save maybe him being a bit more anti-British as a result of his imprisonment.

  2. Giovinezza: An Italian Timeline

    Yeah, frankly I'm surprised the Germans weren't bogged down for a year or more in North Italy. Mussolini's throwing the enemy back at the gates of Rome fantasies... totally believable! And Patton?! Carreer after the war?! President Patton?! Does MacArthur kill himself, launch a coup or...

  3. President Jesse Jackson, 1988

    If Jackson somehow got the Dem nomination... I won't call that impossible, however unlikely it is, Bush would landslide him as badly as Reagan landslided Carter.

  4. The role of Christianity in the decline of the Roman Empire

    The 4th Crusade anyone? I'd say Christianity played a rather large role in the fall of the Eastern Empire. ;)

  5. Challenge: battleship world

    Invent a time machine. Even with all the old guard policies in OTL, the aircraft carrier claimed it's spot at the top of the food chain. You can delay this a bit more, but not stop it short of devolving humanity or altering physics.

  6. An Affair of States: A Breckenridge Timeline (Reboot)

    Maybe have Douglas carry more states up north, Breck carry the border states as proposed, and in a very controversial vote the House elects him.

  7. Who Is The Worst President America Never Had?

    Ugh, I really dislike the common perception that Lindbergh was a Fascist. The man had a pet issue that he was wrong on, that's the only thing he's guilty of. If he was given presidential powers he wasn't about to sell America to Germany. Any doubts of his patriotism can easily be dismissed if...

  8. DBWI: Steve Jobs avoided car crash

    Who? Never heard of this guy.

  9. Challenge: Invasion!!!!

    Stalin, walking through the Furherbunker finds a folder labeled "Sea Lion" and looks it over, thinking this isn't a bad idea. :p

  10. Outrun my Gun: The Presidency of Douglas MacArthur

    Oh boy... knew we wouldn't get out of this Presidency without a nuclear war.

  11. Modern name for Ottoman Empire?

    This seems equivlent of the Roman Empire suddenly being referred to as Italy. It's the Ottoman Empire folks. Informally people will in short just call them the "Turks" often as the British Empire gets whittled down to the English.

  12. Mexico Successfully Seizes Texas

    Oh you'd have to get rid of SantaAnna in some form for that to happen. And as far as my suggestion being ASB? Maybe... almost as ASB as a 150 frontiersmen inflicting 4x their numbers in casualties upon a well trained army that massively outnumbered them. Or a ragtag force of settlers beating a...

  13. Targets of an expansionist, quasi-fascist China?

    Well I usually use the term quasi-fascist in regards to him. He meets a lotta the requirements. Right-wing/anti communist, authoritarian, highly nationalist.

  14. Mexico Successfully Seizes Texas

    Really Mexico's best longterm solution by the time of the Texas revolution, would be to recognize Texan independence to the full extent of it's claims under condition that the republic makes no more territorial claims on Mexican territory(specificly including California, nipping Lamar's pipe...

  15. Targets of an expansionist, quasi-fascist China?

    You could argue that Chiang was pretty much a fascist ruler.

  16. Challenge: No Superpowers

    Aftermath of a nuclear war would be another one. :rolleyes:

  17. Who Is The Worst President America Never Had?

    Why I mentioned Robert Taft earlier. People don't realize how close he came to the 1940 gop nomination and he likely would have avoided war with Japan and Germany at all costs, and cut off aid to Britain. He was a lot more likely presidental contender than Lindbergh. Though in his case I...

  18. An Affair of States: A Breckenridge Timeline (Reboot)

    Why am I getting a sudden feeling the symbol of the Republican party is going to be a bear and not an elephant in this TL? ;)

  19. Who Is The Worst President America Never Had?

    Because he was probably the most manipulative and corrupt politician of the antebellum era. As a Texan, if he was elected in 1844, I think in the long run that would have been better for Texas, but not the US.

  20. An Affair of States: A Breckenridge Timeline (Reboot)

    Should've given Breckinridge Orgeon too. He nearly carried it OTL oddly enough. Still, interesting to see where this might go. Does this prevent the Civil War or put it off for four years?
