Hi, folks. I've recently been thinking about starting a new project, and I'd like to ask a question: How could an American monarchy, of any kind, be set up in a world in which the American Revolution failed? What might it's head of state be called, if not a King(or Queen)? Would the monarch be...

So, the opponents to the Shah in the 1970s were a hodge-podge of secular liberals, Marxists and Islamists who were only really united by their opposition to the Shah's secret police, opulence, penchant for pre-Islamic Iranian history and the Western World, as well as his egotistical style of...

"What if my grandfather had three balls," Fru told me. At least that is how my friend roughly translated an Italian saying. She was implying my tendency to always worry about things, most recently an internal struggle on taking a trip with friends. Worrying to much about ‘ifs’, Fru told me...

Simple question really... Would an America that established itself as a Constitutional Monarchy from the begining have been able to avert the Civil War? • Is so, how? • If not, why? Please get into the all the "What if's" if you'd like My Thoughts: Almost certainly with the reason being...

What if Qing Dynasty China and Imperial Russia formed a serious alliance where they helped each other militarily, economically and diplomatically? A good POD for this would be Russia supporting the Qing in the Boxer Rebellion. Could they have worked together to survive together instead of...

Imagine an ATL where the ending stages of WWI and the Versailles Conference went somewhat differently... After long diplomatic quarrels, the results are these : Two of the southern Polish regions inherited from Austria-Hungary - Polish Silesia (Slónsk) and Galicia-Lesser Poland - are grudgingly...

I'm starting a thread about the Philippines from 1868 to the last years of the 19th century (and possibly 20th century). I'm now writing my prologue in a notebook, and possibly typing it later, if not tommorrow.
