  1. The Triple Alliances

    Let's say that the US does not get bitten by the Empire bug in the late 19th century remains isolated from alliances and interested on in enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine and trade only. Might we see a world of three competing alliances instead of two - an Anglo-Japanese alliance with Japan...

  2. Hanover Fights On! - A different Austro-Prussian War

    The Hanoverian Army was good. It defeated a larger Prussian army before becoming surrounded and cut off. Is there anyway to prolong Hanoverian resistance? Prussia fears Austria more/Hanover less and deployers fewer troops to Hanover? Can Hanover attack the Prussian Rhineland? Ultimately I...

  3. The Pristina Airport Incident

    What would happen if Captain James Hillier Blount (aka singer James Blunt) accepted General Wesley Clark's orders to take back Pristina Airport from the Russians? Blunt commanded, I think, about 100 British and French armoured troops. The airport was held by about 200 Russian paratroopers...

  4. Prussia defeated - The fate of Poland?

    I have posted a few threads about a Franco-Austrian alliance following the defeat of Prussia in either the Seven Weeks War or the Franco-Prussian War. If as I have tried to argue a Franco-Austrian alliance could be maintained (with or without an aligned Italy and Southern German states) I am...

  5. The Irish Question

    Gladstone spent his terms trying solve the Irish Question - Land Reform and ultimately Home Rule. He largely failed. If there a way to improve (or indeed solve) the Irish Question post 1860. Can the cry for Land Reform be met? Is Gladstone the right man to lead the move? Is the Liberal party...

  6. Uniting Germany - Hanover, Bavaria and Saxony

    Focusing on the 19th century what changes need to be made before a German power other than Prussia can unite Germany? I am thinking specifically of Hanover and Bavaria (with Saxony as an afterthought).

  7. 21st Century British/United Empire

    Over the last several weeks I have seen a number of posts on different threads asserting that a 'British' Empire that keeps India must eventually become either an Indian dominated Empire, an Indian Flavoured Empire, or breakdown to avoid Indian dominance. Must this be true? The US has a...

  8. Confederates in Exile

    At the end of the Civil War would it have been possible (or legal for that matter) for the Union government to sentence large numbers of former Confederate officers and officials to be exiled for life from the US, instead of imprisonment or execution. Let's assume there is much less appetite...

  9. The Boer War - No longer a White Man's War

    This could sit in either forum. How does the Boer War change if Britain decides to deloy experienced Anglo-Indian Troop Formations to the war. I would have thought troops experienced on the NW frontier would be better equipped to deal with the hit and run tactics of the Boers, but I have doubts...

  10. Napolean III escapes Sedan

    If Napolean III personally escapes capture at Sedan is his government still doomed? Will legitimists or republicans still try to depose his government even while he is free and trying to rally new armies either from Lille or in the south? I am thinking that with Napoleon free in France, but...

  11. The Second Opium War - The Scramble for China

    I was thinking about a TL were the death of Lord Elgin (captured and tortured along with Parkes and Loch, shortly followed by his death while still a prisoner) causes the war to expand. I am thinking about the potential ramifications: Britain and France seeking territorial concessions and...
