    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    The Nationals have a lot of potential to become Falangists.

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    There might also be a sense that America took all the bad Europeans. Probably a lot of implications that the people who immigrated to the US were criminals or malcontents. One interesting consequence of the Second American Revolution will be the destruction of "the West" as a unified...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    There already is. More than one, actually. The largest camp is the pro-American camp. In some nations, there's an internal split between DeLeonists and Zapatists, but they tend to agree on the big issues. The other two camps are the moderates who think that the ASU went too far with a violent...

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    There's a lot of different strains. One of which is indeed the false accusation that the ASU is authoritarian, usually suggesting that the RSP and Progressives are both puppets of the SLP., and that the Commissariat for Public Security in in fact a diabolical secret police force keeping the...

    No. We covered the postwar trials earlier. Huffington was the most prominent person to be sentenced to death for war crimes.

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    It's possible, I guess. But the limit on how much support the ASU is willing to provide is a lot lower for monarchies (or even liberal republics) than it is for socialists. If Morocco were to be a battlefield in WW2, its fate would depend on who were the ones to throw the French out. If its the...

    Anno Obumbratio: A 16th Century Alternate History

    If the Dutch merchants have any major successes in their colonial ventures, I don't see the Emperor not getting involved. This in turn would open the door for Dutch colonial ventures to become imperial colonial ventures, albeit with the Dutch disproportionately represented.

    Right now? No. Debs and the Central Committee are of the opinion that if they are going to be investing resources in spreading the revolution, it'll be in Latin America.

    If anything, the outcome of the war in Europe, with Germany's power strengthened, is of more significance to Morocco. It's true that the ASU could aid in ousting France, but they would also oust the monarchy, while Germany would be much more interested in having a friendly independent Morocco.

    Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    That was a roller coaster of a chapter. First a sex scene, then a minor crisis, then a big discovery, then a hothead who turns the minor crisis into a major one, a classic elaborate scheme to get people out of trouble, then the whammy of LIFE ON MARS.

    Unsure. If so, it would be a late 20th century thing.

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    I really try to avoid that. I know that I've stretched plausibility in places, or chosen an unlikely outcome because it suited the story better. But what I've always aimed for is to show how things are possible, often by imagining how TTL historians would look back on events. There are many...

    It varies wildly from industry to industry. In some industries, you basically have one big combine that controls everything by design. The most extreme case is the arms industry, where the arms manufacturers have been consolidated into one combine that answers to the Commissariat for War and...

    I could see stories involving sympathetic queer-coded vampires turning against the more traditional evil vampires getting some play.

    The Fire Never Dies, Part II: The Red Colossus

    The butterflies came before 1914. While a casual observer from OTL who popped into TTL in 1914 wouldn't notice much in the way of differences, a socialist from OTL 1914 absolutely would. By 1914, the Socialist Labor Party was the most prominent in the world. Basically. WW1 ITTL was basically a...

    Good point. I might drop that line. Yep, that's their flag. Haven't figured out who's PM yet. Not sure I will - this is likely to be our last check in with China for a while. One of the grim realities of writing alternate history is that as the butterflies flap their wings, you have to keep...
