  1. AHC: Japanese holdout in Pacific Island that becomes militarist Axis regime in exile

    Looking back on how so many Nazi war criminals escaped through ODESSA to South America looking to create a "Fourth Reich", and the Japanese holdouts, I wondered.

  3. AH Film Review: Porsche Spider

    The bittersweet self parody film of aging actors has become common in modern cinema. Jack Nicholson specializes in them nowadays, notably Bucket List. Or Robert Deniro's parody of his mobster image in Analyze This. Now James Dean, their co star of yore from Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon adds...
  4. AH Vignette: Great Emancipator, Great Exiler

    “I suppose one of the principal difficulties in the way of colonization is that the free colored man cannot see that his comfort would be advanced by it.

  5. BBC article WI: British first in space on scavenged and modified V2s

    This article was on the BBC news. Apparently they managed to modify captured V2 technology enough that by 1947 they could have done a manned space launch but the British government was bankrupt from World War 2 and decided to put the funds in nuclear and aviation research. What if they had...
  6. American coup d'etats other than The Business Plot

    Since there have been alot of discussions on American fascism in the 30s involving the Business Plot which I've been in on here lately, I was wondering if anyone knew of some other possible coup situations, other than that one.

  8. AH Vignette: If One Flame is Extinguished, So Shall Another Be Lit Against the Dark

    "When the armies of the Sassanid Shahs conquered into Asia Minor, into Greece and Thrace and Dacia, to the waters of the Danube, in the chaos that followed the fall of Rome and the cursed empire of the Huns and their vassals turned rivals like the Goths and Allemani and Vandals, they brought the...
  9. AH Vignette: Revolutionary Solidarity

    Angela Davis AKA Assata Shakur had left fifteen minutes ago. She'd come to talk to him about the US lifting the Cuban embargo and the Feds probably looking to get them. Raoul Castro and Che Guevara had both publicly stated that was off the table. Privately, the wondered. Malcolm X, former...
  10. AH Vignette: Deals With the Devil's Horsemen Lead to Hellhounds On St. Marks

    Once, Ludovico's ancestors had sold out all Europe. A mass of seething Tartars swept in on an ill wind from the East and laid waste all Christendom. Except Venice, kept most serene by betrayal, gold, the wages of sin, and willingness to make Devil's Bargains with the Devil's Horsemen. Venetian...
  11. AH Vignette: The Klan Grandpa

    "In modern America, there are quite a few old Klansmen who served the infamous Stephenson administration during the Second Great War among the living. Some are unrepentant, some say it was a mistake done 'only following orders', others are senile, or at least claim it if investigated for war...

    Since the topic of which fascist leaning individual or group in Great Depression America could pull off a takeover like in Europe, then people debate which European dictator or party they'd resemble or what they'd do, I thought I'd try boiling it down to this listing for future reference, based...
  14. AHC: A New World of Gonzalo Guerreros, Roanokes and Metis

    So...I was reading about Gonzalo Guerrero, the Spaniard who was among the first Europeans to visit the New World with Columbus and went native among the Mayans, becoming a warlord and fighting against the Conquistadors when they came back. So how could we get it so, Europeans still find the New...
  15. Post Alexandrian Ecumene dark ages

    So, say Alexander the Great lives longer, finishes his plans to take over Arabia Felix and Carthage, and maybe, with new Persian troops, takes another crack at India and he at least gets some more of it, depending on whether Chandragupta, his unwitting protege, is his opponent for round 2. His...
  16. AHC: An Emperor Maximillian of Mexico situation in the USA

    I was reading about how alot of nineteenth century backlash against immigration came from a fear that large numbers of European Catholics could be used as a force to support a European puppet monarch being installed in the US, as did occur in Mexico with Maximillian.
