Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

[FriendlyGhost]

trying to find an old thread and can't find it through the search function, was a thread inspired by Turtledove's Atlantis but had said continent settled by Jewish and Cathar settlers during the middle ages instead, admittedly this is more of a ASB type thing but this seemed like the best place to ask

This one?

One of my favourite couples is Anne/Brandon, I have to say

Charles Brandon? She accused him of something with his "daughter", right?

Charles, yes! He's similar enough to Henry that I think they'd be happy together under different circumstances!

"War of Secession" could be the alternative.

okay but what if it was a conventional civil war, the southern states recognize Breckinridge as the president, how would this play out? who would be seen as the legitimate government by britain, for example?

I honestly doubt changing where the capital is located would have a drastic effect on American history, until we get to William Henry Harrison

It's hard to predict any specific knock-on effects until that point, but the decision to build the capital there could be part of a larger shift in the political scene. Maybe Hamilton manages to push through the Assumption Bill without needing to horse-trade for Southern support? Anyway, to answer your original question:

Neither of them seemed to have been very ideological, although Harrison would've obviously been more helpful for the Whigs in Congress than Tyler was. There were two openings on the Supreme Court which Harrison could have filled during his term had he survived, although that wouldn't be enough to swing the outcome of Dred Scott even if both Whig justices dissented. Taylor probably wouldn't have been any more effective than he was in reality. The only clear change I can see is that the details of vice presidential succession wouldn't be settled yet.

Why do you say that?

 

[tophatgaming]

Why do you say that?

if harrison survived chances are the democrats wouldn't be split on the annexation issue and thus martin van buran would be re-nominated, his general lack of popularity would allow clay to win new york, which was only off by 5000 votes

the vote actually was only one short of succeeding, it isn't that hard to believe

Is it possible for Austria to unite Italy in the 19th Century?

If Miguel de Paz had lived, would Manuel I still remarry to Maria of Aragon?

 

[ordinarylittleme]

If Miguel de Paz had lived, would Manuel I still remarry to Maria of Aragon?

Yes, he would still only have one heir and that is not a secure succession. Also, Maria didn't have any other serious engagements

 

[isabella]

If Miguel de Paz had lived, would Manuel I still remarry to Maria of Aragon?

We can not know for sure, but it is not too unlikely. Much would depend from Manuel’s will to remarry and from Isabella’s own wishes about Maria’s wedding: making her Miguel’s stepmother or marrying her to another ruler without heirs

She is attractive as a wife of Vladislaus of Hungary, I think either Joanna of Naples or Maria can marry Vladislaus as they carry the Trastamaran claims to Hungary.

Doing some reading and what consequences would there be if there was no English civil war?

I have been thinking in doing a TL about the Industrial Revolution first happening in China, but what time would be better? For now I have been thinking mostly in the Song dynasty and the Yuan dynasty
