    AHC: English Speaking Quebec

    The POD can be pre or post 1900, but no earlier than Confederation in 1867. Make the province of Quebec majority English speaking by 1967, and that by 2023 French is no more prominent there than it is in Louisiana.

    Even more deadly Bubonic Plague

    Suppose the mortality rate of the Black Death was even higher then in OTL, such that by 1400 populations are reduced by 90% in Europe, 75% in Northern Africa and over 60 % in Asia. This would certainly delay the Renaissance, and the oceanic explorations of Spain, Portugal and the rest of...

    WI: General Sherman Accepts the Republican Nomination in 1884

    Suppose there is no Zimmerman Telegram, or if there is the United States doesn’t act on it and invade Mexico?
