  1. Alternate cities of the industrial revolution

    Have you got some kind of reference for this? Because I'm doing an essay on this subject, and this would make a nice counter-argument.
  2. Reformation before the Reformation?

    Clearly this isn't an interesting subject......
  3. Reformation before the Reformation?

    Hey all, I've just finished an essay on the printing press and the reformation. One of my concluding points was that if the printing press had been invented (in europe) before it was otl, its likely that someone else, perhaps Hus or Wycliffe would have started a reformation similar to the one we...
  4. So I'm reading Turtledove's World War - Colonization....

    I must admit, he does seem to be slightly Anglophobe, mainly from small hints here and there in the series. But then again he could just be being ironic or something. Also I understand that the UK was in a very bad shape, but I really don't understand why it has become so anti-Semitic, also i...
  5. So I'm reading Turtledove's World War - Colonization....

    I am a little confused as to why the UK is becoming so pro-German, after finishing the world war series I would have expected the UK and Canada to effectively join the US. What do you guys think?

  9. Want to find out how plausible this scenario is...

    So I am thinking of writing an AH story, and I want it to be set in 1900 (ish) with a Europe dominated by a communist France, but not Bolshevik Leninist Stalinist, more mild and little less authoritarian. Also I want a very strong Anglo-American alliance (not too hard I assume considering the...
  10. soviet/nazi/british alliance

    I'm sorry Mr Danishtroll you're gonna have to start putting up some other details as to how such wild scenarios occur. Also I agree with The Kinkster!
  11. AHC: A Celebrity winning the Presidency.

    Ahh I did not know that, Meadow. thanks. Ben Afflick, seriously? I would rather Christoper Walken, Harrison Ford or Morgan Freeman, or someone along those lines. oh maybe Bill Murry, that would be fun!
  12. AHC: A Celebrity winning the Presidency.

    From what I have been led to believe Regan wasn't that big of an actor, although i could be mistaken. In awnser to the op, i don't really think it possible, as how would someone with NO political experience (or military, after a major war) be nominated by one of the big parties?
