    AHC: one 'pan' language for each family

    The 20th century saw some idealists try to create a unified international language - Esperanto and Interlingue spring to mind. In the case of Esperanto, the language was actually semi-adopted by the League of Nations, which recommended that member states use it as an auxiliary language until...

    AHC: Christian EU?

    Quite famously the European Union makes no reference to the Christian Religion in it's constitution and is seen by many as a secularising, liberal force. How can the the European Union be seen as a religious and Christian force, perhaps even reactionary? I ask because opposition to the European...

    English Civil War with no religious dimension?

    Well part of the issue is that religion was a whole lot bigger than Charles I' "reforms". There were clear divides between the Puritan,established and Arminian factions from the Hampton Court conference in the early 1600s onwards. And if England's religious tensions are solved-what of Scotland's...

    DBWI: England goes Protestant

    What does this mean for Empire? After all it was the who Pope decreed that the Americas would only be split between Iberia, France and England. Maybe a protestant England breaks the mould and other Lutheran states could have empires. Who knows maybe the triple alliance between France, Spain and...

    AHC: Cold War Between Northern and Southern Europe

    Well the reformation pratically happened down these lines,pit in some Germanic vs Romance ethnic conflict and you've got the basis for a prolonged conflict. Pretty easy to have a conflict but I'm not sure how to make it "cold".

    DBWI: Independent Ireland

    Does anyone think this could impact religion in the UK? Ireland has always made it a relevant,though peaceful(ish) issue in politics in the 20th century. Perhaps England might be as atheist as the American west is nowadays. With a potentially weaker UK would we Singapore,Hong-Kong and Malta...

    British politics without thatcher in the 80's

    One of the things that has recently struck me is how unconservative(in the British sense)Thatcher was. What does this mean for conservatism in Britain then? Someone earlier mentioned perhaps more "High Toryism" but that kind of politics requires the type of politician that was perhaps dead by...

    Could British empire have survived?

    How's this even being debated? It's not possible post ww1 really. You could have a stronger commonwealth,but even that's a task with a pod post war. One thing that is interesting is if Britain kept smaller outposts,like France did,they held so many small islands and cities I guess kne could...

    Give america a socially conservative economically liberal party.

    Could a more successful Nixon presidency not do this?

    AHC: European Union prior to 1914

    I don't want to make another thread,but could you get a Franco-British -German alliance with all 3 nations as powerful,if not more so than they were in otl 1914?

    The Alternate Cabinets Thread

    Yeah,I think the party would split for sure,I alluded to a new party being formed in the introduction,because the cabinet sure is right wing:p. (It's not meant to be realistic,but just made up of staunchest right wing libertarians,social conservatives and unionists- that's why I came up with the...

    The Alternate Cabinets Thread

    Ken Clarke? I always thought Urqhuart was more of a traditionalist/social conservative. But then he is Home Secretary and his cabinet would need balance.

    The Alternate Cabinets Thread

    Yeah,but tbh I couldn't be bothered looking up staunchly right wing or even moderate brexiteer Welsh,or Scottish MPs. Do you know any?(I'm not even sure there are some)

    The Alternate Cabinets Thread

    Maybe,(actually definetly ASB;))-showing the first Rees-Mogg cabinet,after his shock leadership election in the summer of 2017. This would be later known as the Brexit cabinet,although many in left wing circles just call it "the nightmare",disgusted as if it was deliberately made up of everybody...

    Which other English/British monarchs could be called "the Great"?

    Elizabeth II may go down as this. Elizabeth the great has a certain ring to it. (Unlike Henry/Victoria the great which doesn't seem to work)

    AHC- Reunify/Restore the British Empire

    Why the need to do it so early? The empire was the worlds superpower in the 19th century,after all. Can be done quite easily any date from 1870-1900,if there was a will to do it. The difficulty is creating that will so early and avoiding imperial hubris.

    AHC- Reunify/Restore the British Empire

    For a superpower see a timeline called rule Brittania on an imperial federation.(it's very good) Post 1945 the uk can do very little,but say it pursues a more French approach to decolonisation-it could itergrate current overseas territories,Malta,Hong Kong,British West Indies, Aden,maybe...

    DBWI: Protestant England and Catholic Ireland

    Hmm,maybe have one of the godwinson Kings fall out big time with the pope,after all they had a few minor skirmishes otl,especially when William of Normandy got the Popes support to conquer England in 1066 and lost.
