  1. Edward VIII Refuses To Abdicate

    In December, 1936 King Edward VIII of the United Kingdome abdicated the throne in order to marry Wallis Simpson, and thus avoid a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom (as this was against the advice of the Government of the United Kingdom). But what would happen if Edward felt he had...

  2. BEF Mutinies in WWI

    The French Army experienced a series of mutinies in 1917 due to, amongst other factors, the extremely high casualty rate suffered by French soldiers since the beginning of the war. The mutinies were eventually put down thorough a combination of more generous leave, harsh punishment for the "ring...

  3. Britannia's Fist Trilogy Opinions

    So I would like to start this thread on any thoughts or opinions of the Britannia's Fist Trilogy. I personally thought that it was one of the more compelling alternate histories of Britain getting involved in the Civil War. Still, I think it had some issues; mainly with the actual prose that...

  4. George Washington: Third Temer

    Assuming George Washington was willing to run for a third term in 1796 (perhaps the events of the French Revolution gave him pause to leave power) and he won, what would his third term look like?

  5. Meade's Missed Opportunity

    Instead of engaging General Lee at the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg (or anywhere North of DC), would General Meade be better off using the Army of the Potomac to cut the Confederates off from Virginia? I'm sure that Lincoln and the Union's political leadership (to say nothing of the...

  6. AHC: Earlier U.S. Presidential Protection

    Other that Abraham Lincoln, no U.S. President had a formal protection division until after the assassination of President McKinley in 1901. This strikes me as very odd given how visible U.S. Presidents were, and how (in most cases) easily accessible they were (Thomas Jefferson would usually open...

  7. It's the Economy, Mr. President: A Collaborative Timleine

    Hey all. I was interested in starting a collaborative timeline. The POD is in 2009 where President Obama pushes off on healthcare and focuses more on promoting and shoring up the economy. February 5, 2009: "I feel that reforming the country's healthcare is a major priority. However, the...

  8. TL-191 GWI Anaconda Plan

    As much as I love TL-191 (it got me into alternate history), some of the GWI U.S. military decisions that were made didn't make any sense. Some of these included the U.S. not allocating more troops/resources to take Winnipeg, not making better use of barrel technology, and wasting resources on...

  9. Most Effective Union Army Staff Structure

    One of the many issues that plagued the Union Army during the ACW was that there was no centralized staff to oversee the many administrative/operations/logistics issues that went planning/executing the campaigns. This was somewhat alleviated when Henry Halleck was appointed Chief of Staff in...

  10. WI: John Wool as the AoTP commander

    I've been reading a lot lately on U.S. Major General John E. Wool. Despite the fact that he was 77 in 1861, he was still reasonably fit and, unlike General in Chief Winfield Scott, could still ride a horse reasonably well. Wool thought General McClellan was not aggressive enough in his push...

  11. TL Help

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to find a TL that was done a couple of years ago. It involved Lincoln getting assassinated, and military junta forming with Edwin Stanton at the head. The junta led U.S. severely punished the South by imprisoning Davis, Lee, and other Confederal general/officials. Can...

  12. Can Case Blue Be Successful

    Pretty much what the title says. Is there any possibility that Case Blue could be successful? I don't necessarily mean a war winner for Germany, but simply seizing the Caucuses or the oil fields.

  13. Liberator Victory at Philippi

    The Battle of Philippi was a fairly close victory for Mark Antony and Octavian. Had a few things broken differently for Cassius and Brutus then it's possible they could have won. So let's say that Cassius has an accurate understanding of the first day of battle and doesn't commit suicide in...

  14. Sixth Army Breakout

    Let's say that the Sixth Army's true situation at Stalingrad hits Paulus a lot sooner following Operation Saturn (like on 25 November 1942). Furthermore, he's willing to risk his career and orders the Sixth Army to breakout of Stalingrad. Would the Sixth Army be able to not only breakout, but...

  15. WI Case Blue focues on Leningrad

    What if Hitler decides to allocate the resources and manpower of Case Blue towards taking Leningrad? I know the primary motivation for targeting the Caucuses was due to Germany's need of oil, but it seems to make more strategic sense to take Leningrad and potentially free up an entire army...

  16. TL 191: Which country should the U.S. attack first?

    In GW1 of TL 191, the U.S. attacked both the CSA and Canada. The U.S. would eventually win the war in 1917 by wearing both countries down, and being able to attack their centers of power. But the two fronts caused a massive slog for the U.S. that resulted in needless casualties. My question to...

  17. Timeline 191: TR's Third Ter

    In Timeline 191, Theodore Roosevelt loses his bid for a third term in 1920. Let's say he's able, however, to pull the election off and beat Upton Sinclair. What does TR's third term look like? Would he successfully be able to keep the limitations on the Confederacy in place? Would he be willing...

  18. How Much Time Does A German Victory at Stalingrad Buy

    Pretty much what the title says. While I don't believe it would be a war winner by any means, if the Germans are able to take Stalingrad "on the march" in August, 1942, how much time does it buy them? Enough to affect anything major?

  19. Theodore Roosevelt's Later Life

    Let's assume the following events didn't happen to Theodore Roosevelt: wasn't shot in 1912, didn't undertake the Amazon journey, and his son Quentin survives WWI. This being so, and if he lives into the 1930's (which would put him into his early-mid 70's), how outspoken (for or against) would he...

  20. TL 191: The Southern Occupation

    At the end of TL 191 (specifically "In At The Death") the U.S. has conquered the Confederacy with the intention of eventually absorbing it back in the Union. But is this realistic? The CSA had been independent for 80 years, and the population (or a least a sizeable minority) seemed willing to...
