  1. Could George Wallace have become president?

    I was reading up on George Wallace and I was wondering if at any time during his political career there was a reasonable chance that he could have been elected president. I think that him winning in 1968 is highly unlikely, but could he have gained the Democratic nomination in 1972, and if he...

  2. C'est Boulanger qu'il nous faut - Questions about George Boulanger

    Is it possible for George Boulanger to lead a successful coup against the Third Republic? If so, what do you think his policies would be? I imagine that he would probably try to restore some sort of Monarchy, with him as the head of the military. A revaunchist France would be a volatile...

  3. No French intervention in Mexico

    What would happen if Benito Juarez was able to use the Church's wealth to pay off European creditors and the French had no pretext to invade the country? Would this have effects on Italian Unification? Since France is now unoccupied would Louis Napoleon be more involved in the Italian...

  4. Tropico!

    Any one here play the game Tropico where you get to be an island dictator? Personally, I like to play as a Peronist, meaning that I'm not a hard line commie, but my country isn't any Yanqui puppet state. I'm pretty lax about security, and I believe that the happier the people, the better. I...

  6. Algeria Vs. South Africa

    After reading The Stranger by Camus, I was interested in Algeria. I got some books the other day, and decided to read about the history, specifically the War for Independence. That got me thinking about the similarities of my native South Africa and Algeria. Both were countries with a well...

  7. "A House Divided": USA without a Civil War TL

    1860: Point of Departure: Seward’s speech at the Republican convention of 1860. Citing the “irrepressible conflict” he was deemed too radical to sway voters. In this ATL, Seward makes a conciliatory speech, and sways those who believed he was too radical for the nomination. He wins...

    Who was the Greatest of Napoleon's Marshals? The headstrong Ney? The Cavalier Murat? The King of Sweden Bernadotte? You decide!! Darn I forgot the other option.... Well if you have another Marshal, then do tell.

  10. Day Break

    Anyone seen this series on ABC? I think it's a great show, with a good plot, and lots of action. I think the Time Loop is a great plot device for furthering the story along.

  13. A Revolution Arrested: Lafayette's role

    What if Lafayette had been able to arrest the revolution by not allowing the federes to join the National Guard. Still in control of the force when Louis XVI was sentenced to death, would the National Guard be able to fight off the Jacobins and their sansculottes supporters? Another idea is if...

  14. For Want of A Nail

    Has anyone read this masterpiece? This is the best AH I've ever read. It's a friggin history book! If you ripped out the first three pages, one would never know it's fiction. There's fake footnotes, a fake bibliography, and even a fake critique in the back. It's amazingly detailed.

  16. Indians in Iraq

    I read in a book yesterday that the British Government in India had plans to settle large numbers of Indians in Iraq after the first World War. If this occured what do you think the result would be? Would the Indians stay? What effect would this have on Arab Nationalism during the Cold War?

  17. Negotiated Settlement in WWI

    Under what circumstances would a negotiated settlement occur during WWI? This is supposing the United States stayed neutral from 1916 on. What do you think the terms of the settlement would include? I would suggest Germany would keep all of its borders as well as the new land gained in the...

  18. Anjou France: An alternate Enlightenment

    A timeline I have reworked. I submitted this before in a different form. The PoD is 1640. The main PoD though is if France won the war of Spanish Sucession and Philip became King of Both France and Spain. 1640: When Philip IV of Spain manages to put down the rebellion in Portugal by John the...

  19. The Anvil of Ice

    Has anyone ever read this book? It's a great Fantasy Epic centered around the time of the Last Ice Age. I just started it, and it is very well fleshed out, with Appendices and Maps. Almost like Tolkein, but no elves and such like, only things that have a semi-historical basis.

  20. Napoleon in the Navy

    Why did Napoleon not pursue a naval career? I know at one point in his life he thought seriously about joining the Navy. Why did he not do it?
