  1. WI: Hypatia of Alexandria and the Church

    Had a thought and wondered how it would effect the development of Christianity. Hypatia being murdered by a Christian mob in Alexandria is seen as a result of the feud between the Bishop Cyril and the Governor Orestes. The Bishop was seen by the Governor as over stepping his bounds and...
  2. Lollardy successful

    Been reading about the Peasant's Revolt and its effect upon the Lollard movement. What would it have taken for the 12 Conclusions given to Parliament and nailed to St. Paul's Cross (a la 95 Theses) to be acted upon? A bankrupt government, broke from fighting in France? What would be the...
  3. Internal Combustion Engine Development Delayed 10 Years

    What would be the out come of early 20th century development if i.c. engines were delayed 10 years? Would powered flight still happen in 1904, or would it be delayed several years? Would tanks make an appearance on the Western Front? Would we see more interest in steam and electric...
  4. WI: British Keep Philippines in 1763

    What if the British keep the Philippines, and do not trade them for Minorca at the Treaty of Paris? Or Britain is more successful in the Seven Years War against Spain and keeps both territories? What would be the effects on the American Revolution? Would the increased revenue from the new...
  5. No Harrying of the North

  6. Political aftermath of Operation Wet Pussy(cat)

    This is NOT to be a discussion on whether the Germans can do it or not, so don't. What I wish to discuss is the political aftermath, from the following assumptions. Battle of Britain goes better for the Luftwaffe, continue attacking airfileds longer, RAF pulled back. Germans attempt to...
  7. Russo-Japanese War expanded

    What would have happened if after the Dogger Bank incident, when the Royal Navy blockaded the Russian Fleet in Vigo, Spain, the Russians opened fire again? Would the war last long, or would the French force the Russians to negotiate?
  8. Great Global War Discussion

    Interesting, but Japan is allied with Britain. That kind-of destroys the rest of the piece.
  9. Northumbria predominant

    What if St. Edwin was not killed at the battle of Hatfield Chase, but instead was victorious? According to Wiki, Edwin was Bretwalda, and recognized as over-lord by all the Anglo-Saxons except Eadbald of Kent. He already had control of Northern England, Anglesey and Gwynedd. At Hatfield...
  10. Belisarius Series

    What are your thoughts of it? The whole series is online, including the first 1/3rd of the book to be released in 2006. I thought it was very interesting, and humourous.
