    Thoughts on the Population Reductions in Timeline 191?

    A major criticism of TL191 is that the population reductions, the Confederate genocide of the Black Southern population, is implausible. Because conducting the genocide of 30% of your population, a population disproportionately represented among your menial workforce, is implausible. It’s a...

    TL-191 WI: Could the Entente feasibly have won GW1?

    There have been several TL-191 fanfictions made in regards to an Entente victory in GW1, though, realistically, could the Entente have feasibly won GW1?
  5. The World of Turtledove's Atlantis Trilogy

    Hello everyone! I recently finished re-reading the Atlantis Trilogy that Turtledove released between 2007-2009. I always found the concept interesting, and though I have some critiques having gone through it for the first time in over a decade, it still is, IMO, a fairly solid work. Would love...
  6. What if, in Southern Victory, the USA didn't end the Great War until all of the Confederacy and Canada were occupied?

    What would have happened during and after WW1 if Teddy Roosevelt refused the CSA's peace proposals, and didn't stop the war until all of the CSA and Canada were occupied and annexed?
  7. What would have happened if in TL-191, the USA won the War of Secession, but under different circumstances than OTL?

    What would have happened if, in TL-191, the USA won the War of Secession, but under different circumstances (with those circumstances being that Britain and France help the CSA, and Robert E. Lee doesn't defect to the CSA for some reason)? Would they still be extremely hostile to Britain and...
  8. Anyone have the Mike Resnick Alternate Anthologies as PDFs?

I used to have all the Alternate BLANK books, like Alternate President,s Tyrants, Generals, etc. saved to my PC but I guess I forgot to move them across a few years back when I got my new one, idk if anyone has them or...

    Anglo-American War of the 1860's

    Anyone who has read Harry Turtledove's The Guns of the South may be aware that, after losing the Civil War to the South, the Union started a war with Britain after invading Canada. The book says that the Union is doing great in land, even taking Ottawa, but is suffering big losses at sea...

    Is Harry Turtledove's TL-191 worth it?

    I'm looking for a new series to start reading. I had this on my Reading List since a long of time and I think is time to get it since Christmas is near. I always wanted to dig more in the American Civil War since it's an important topic in Alternate History. But I want to know, should I dig more...

    Coincidence or plagiarism ?

    In 1983, Harry Harrison of Stars and Stripes infamy wrote a sci-fi short called A Rebel In Time. Seriously... Did the other Harry copy him or what ? The basic plot is eerily similar. :) (Though I guess Turtledove's take on it is probably better written.)
