DBWI: anything you want it to be

This DBWI is a little different... there is no inciting event, you get to choose the history as long as it is plausible. However there are restrictions on who can post what.

If you have:

under 100 posts, you can respond with emotions to previous posts however any new historical information will be disregarded. (sorry they haven't proved themselves yet.)
100-1000 posts, you can add suplimentary human interest bits but cannot add a major historical event. You can also make minor adjustments to other people's events ("IIRC..." "they proved later that...")
over 1000 posts, you have free reign, as long as it is plausible and non contradictory.
 
Well, guys we all know that in 1924 the British Parliament passed the imperial federation Act. What if they hadn't?
 
Well, his ranking of colonial peoples into castes based on their number of years of contributions to to the Empire certainly seemed unnecessarily elitist and self righteous, IMO.

OOC: :p I fart on your posting conditions! :p

Well, one has to wonder why- the Imperial Federation if you ask me was a direct copy of Franz Ferdinand's Austrian reforms, which have been the successful framework in that central European state now for almost a hundred years... Perhaps if he gets shot or something, (after all, I doubt anyone else could have pulled that off) then the British don't have a model to go off of?
 
IC:
Stay on topic, people!

The British Empire is probably going to fall more quickly. Truman barely tolerated them as it is- there's no way they're getting Marshal Plan money this way.

It will be interesting what they attempt to do to hold onto the Empire, though. Without the Federation act, what will they try?
 
Here in Canada we will remain a loyal member of the Empire no matter what may come. They saved us from the Americans, and for that we will always remain thank-ful.

GOD SAVE THE KING!

OOC: This isn't OTL's Kennedy, but somebody with the same surname. It can happen...

Also, I'm noticing that this is neither a pluasible IC timeline nor a plausible IC discusisons. Can we have at least one, please?

IC:
President Kennedy was going to get voted out anyway. The "invasion" probably counts as the stupidest last-minute act to hold onto power in history!
 
Well, assuming Franz Ferdinand is assassinated, not only would this not lead to many of his ideas to be reused for the Federation, but could it lead the tensions in Europe to erupt into the First European War over a decade earlier, before the Anglo-German Alliance is concluded? Would the Colonial Wars, Second European War, American conquests of central america, the Anglo-American War, the 1986 War, and Unification War even happen as we know it?

Wait, who mentioned President Kennedy?

OOC: I did.

OOC: You're breaking the rules! We should probably have two threads for this topic- one in which there isn't post discrimination, and one in which there is. I think I'll fix it up.

(BTW, the EDIT isn't actually an edit, but IC is my 'character' editing his post)

IC:
Why would you think Franz Ferdinand would be assasinated? There isn't any reason based on the POD for that to be the case.

Anyway, stop making up rubbish. This isn't a DBWI thread.

OOC: My "question" brought up information that wasn't coming into contradiction with previous posts. Someone earlier even mentioned a SS invasion of Canada, and I put "Anglo-American War"! So how am I breaking the rules?
IC: Maybe some Serbian nationalist shoots him in 1913 or '14.
 
OOC: Wow, I'm confused. Their was no mention of Kennedy, but their was mention of Truman.

IC:Didn't someone try? I think they were called the Black Hand, or something like that...
