  1. King Theodore's Corsica

    Question about the US - Is it a republic or did they copy Corsica and go for an monarchy?

  2. A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    The issue with running trains on other networks is not just the track gauge but also the loading gauge. This is the set of dimensions that allows trains to pass through tunnels, bridges etc. The UK generally has a smaller loading gauge than the continent, so British trains can run in France but...

  3. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    The solar system can be depicted with correct proportions - https://www.joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html but it really is freaking huge.

  4. Explain the AH Quote

    Warlord Hugh Hefner, during the 1998 Cascadian-Deseret War. Troops under his command were known for mass rapes of civilians and the destruction of Boise by artillery bombardment. He would go on to run the Adan Republic as his personal fief, while nominally loyal to the Cascadian Confederation...

    Best Colonialism & Revolutions Timeline: King Theodore's Corsica by @Carp

  8. Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    What is wrong with that map? Those are actual Anglian dioceses, and I have in fact met Bishop Suheil Dawani, who is an Anglican bishop and not a Catholic one.

  9. Washington Burns: A Story of Alternate America

    Our electric system operates on AC now. DC long-range transmission results in higher amperage and therefore more energy lost to heat resistance than AC, which is why AC will always win out. Modern devices only convert from AC to DC at the actual device, that's what the box on the laptop charger...

  10. DBWI - United States defy international sanctions yet again, tests H-Bomb

    FReedom to starve, you mean?

  11. Yellowstone erupts during the Civil War, what happens?

    R.I.P human civilisation, quite possibly all of humanity.

  12. Visconti Victorious: Medieval Italian Unification

    Grest timeline. Just as a point of note, England is also allied with Portugal, as confirmed by the Treaty of Windsor in 1373. (It's still in force today, OTL)

  13. A hindu princess for Prince Edward

    THere is no such thing as a (non-) morganatic marriage in the British system. It does not matter what rank the wife is, any children will be legitimate as long as the parents were married. There has been at least one incident of a prince marrying a commoner, although I can't remember it off the...

  14. DBWI: American Revolt of 1775 succeeds

    The original poster mentioned a French intervention. Not sure how they could have afforded it, considering how close to bankruptcy they were at the time. The only good side I can see is that it would probably hasten the French Revelution,which would be less bloody due to more limited technology.

  15. Nationality of the Confederacy

    THere is also the United States of Central America. Not sure what they called themselves.

  16. Explain the AH Quote

    Dying words of Arsene Daviau, an assassin sent by the Fourth French Empire to kill Queen Elizabeth II of the UK. He was very much surprised as he had not thought that the octogenarian would be able to defend herself. It was an event that would result in the start of World War III between the...

  17. WI : Babbage and Lovelace complete the Difference Engine and Analytical Engine

    That's the one! A good book, combines actual history with an AH story. It's where I got my information from. Unfortunately I don't have it with me where I'm currently living.

  18. WI : Babbage and Lovelace complete the Difference Engine and Analytical Engine

    If you want a POD, Lovelace did at one point write to Babbage asking him to give over dealing with other people to someone else (a friend of Lovelace, can't remember exactly who) and who would become a manager for Babbage. This is what he needs - someone to make sure Babbage does actually...

  19. Explain the AH Quote

    @SaveAtlacamani my previous quote at https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/explain-the-ah-quote.409146/page-21#post-14309274 which you commented on saying that it was a very interesting quote, I thought you might like to know where it came from

  20. WI: British Louisiana

    I do think that the issue of slavery is going to be a big one and there is the possibility of rebellion - but I also think that an independent Louisiana may not want to join the USA, contrary to some Americans expectations.
