  1. Question about 1930's anglo-french relations

    Let's say that in mid 1930's there is a conservative but not batshit crazy government in Berlin. The Chancellor is a smart and wily guy, let's call him Bismark Mk2. What can the german government do to drive a wedge between the french and british, with the final purpose of an franco-german...
  2. The life and times of Adolph Notler

    Introduction I start this timeline here to get traction; since I foresee (not crystal ball needed) that it will ruffle some feathers (british understatement) it is extremely likely that it will continue on/move to Counter-factual.net. I will change one single event in the very early years of...

  6. Some musings about 1864 US presidential elections

    When people talk about the 1864 presidential elections PODs, the standard (self reassuring) response is "212 to 21". Considering the (I use a british understatement) "peculiar" US presidential electoral system, those numbers do not reflect the reality. I got the actual data and, using a...
  7. WWI Trench warfare POD

    This is something that has bothered me for years. In 1864-1865 the ACW combatants went into trenches in Virginia. A guy called Emory Upton (widely considered one of the best military minds of his age) invented the Schwerpunkt/Stoßtruppen concept and put it successfully into operation and ideas...

  9. Feasibility of a late 1862 Confederate reconquest of New Orleans

    As written on the tin. IOTL Lee conducted the invasion of the north which culminated in Antietam battle (and the Declaration of Emancipation :D). Imagine that Davis vetoes this operation and mandates an effort to reconquer New Orleans before november mid term northern elections using part of...
