Well, Maybe it involved the successful conquest of Canada in 1812, but some sort of dissatisfaction in the whole northeast region, not just New England, since Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, and New York are involved. Maybe some sort of clash over how these new northern territories are admitted...

Well,the Republic of Texas included parts of Present day New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and maybe Kansas, in addition to the state of Texas, so in a way, it's already been split once before from its larger territory as an independant nation. So I'm sure that the Republicans aren't that...

Well, with regards to having entities like the VI, or American Samoa becoming states, that would be very difficult. I think that one reason is that a territory has to have a minimum population of 60,000, and places like American Samoa only have a population of about 20,000. So, barring major...

Maybe a collapse of the French in World War One, leading to a takeover of the French territories in the Western Hemisphere, to prevent them from falling into German hands, especially if the British can't do anything to prevent it. Whenever the war ends, the US decides its much better off with...

Because the map is supposed to be based on the timeline. Just read it as all of what I put in the map is based on the timeline. Example: I'm just going by the timeline ;) Phil

Here's my first map for posting here on the forums. Its based on the "Changing the Times alternate obituary on Andrew Braddock, who wrote about splendid isolation for Britain, which evolved into the United Empire. The story is found here Green= United States Red=United Empire Light...

Well, with regards to the East German Border, since it was agreed between the GDR and Poland in the late 40s-early 50s, and by the FRG during Ostpolitik in the 1970s, there's no realistic way to extend Germany's boders past the Oder-Neisse line. That being said, would this post '85 POD you're...

Hmm, with that Eastern border of what is presumably East Germany set so far past its OTL boundary, I would think that maybe 1945 could be the only realistic POD. Maybe a Yalta conference that goes less well for the Soviets. Either that or maybe more Eastern European Resistance (Including in the...

Just a minor nitpick: Until the 20th Amendment in 1933, presidents weren't sworn in on January 20th, it was on March 4th, so Astor would be sworn in on that day, as opposed to January 20. But overall, a good premise. Phil :)

How about that light blue, near Senegal? Is it US possibly? :confused: Phil

What if, in the 1950s, Egypt did not decide to appeal to the Soviet Union for new weapons in the early years of Nasser's rule of Egypt? IIRC, this was a major reason why the US and GB refused to fund the Aswan High Dam, which in turn led to the nationalization of the Suez and the subsequent 1956...

Thande, that's a good map but just one thing: Pretty much all of north Africa, the Middle East, and South Aisa are "Disputed", and is the source of much of the fighting between the three powers. But other than that, good job on the map! Phil

I've been a member there for about three years, so far. As Molobo said, it is absolutely packed to the gills with information, especially on Germany from 33-45, but also has forums for most other aspects of history in general. In addition, it also has the "Axis History Factbook", showing...

How about the Western allies are defeated at D-Day? I don't think that the Germans would ever be able to stem the Russian advance at this point (mid 44), and the western allies would not be able to mount another attack. The Russians will therefore, advance furthur into Europe, perhaps taking...
