  1. British Montevideo 1807: Effects?

    In 1807 the British had just invaded the River Plate area for the 2nd time and were defeated in Buenos Aires in some fairly gnarly urban warfare; this caused them to withdraw garrisons from OTL Uruguay as well when they left. This decision was why Whitelocke was court-martialled. So WI the...

  2. WI: Franco-American War of 1835?

    Whilst doing research for an early 19th-century TL I came across this article on JSTOR: http://www.jstor.org.ezproxy.lancs.ac.uk/stable/27547532 . The article discusses the issue of the non-payment of the 25 million francs of French reparations agree in 1831. The required appropriations were...

  3. Woolly Mammoth's Weaker Reform Act

    Having nearly completed this project this thread is to display and discuss the 1.0 versions of a 'Weaker Reform Act' whereby Thomas Drummond's suggestion of adopting the Scottish 'District of Burghs' approach in England is taken to ensure rotten burghs retain their representation. If anyone is...

  4. WI/AHC: Johnny Appleseed based new American religion (1830s)

    Probably a bit of a strange question but the development of new religions/denominations fascinates me and I want to incorporate something of this ilk in a TL I am working on. I don't know much about American history but what if Johnny Appleseed is more successful in spreading his version of...

  5. What would a Hughes presidency be like?

    I am presently writing a TL which involves Charles.E.Hughes narrowly winning the 1916 election rather than narrowly loosing as IOTL (switching a few thousand Californian votes) but it got me thinking that I actually have no idea a 1916 Republican presidency would be like. Obviously with the...

  6. Behold, A Pale Horse - An Alternative Great War

    Behold, a pale horse And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts and I looked and behold, a pale horse and his name that sat on him was Death And Hell followed with him. As we are having a conversation this must be a TLIAD? This is a normal timeline, I just like the TLIAD conservation...

  7. Practicality of BR regions for federal-style government?

    Perhaps a somewhat demented idea but I bought myself a book copy of the Beeching Report today (exciting life I lead) and was quite intrigued by the accompanying maps. It got me considering how successful a hard-left or full on socialist Post-War Britain could have governed using the BR regions...

  8. Scottish choice of king ?

    Hello - wondering if anyone could possibly help. The Act_of_Security_1704 required the Scottish to select a different choice of successor to the Hanoverian line selected by England. Obviously IOTL this was "solved" by the Act of Union. However supposing that this does not occur (and for the sake...

  9. Operation Vegetarian?

    Quick query if I may. Does anyone know any details regarding what was actually planned in the event of Operation Vegetarian being given authorisation? I haven't been able to find much (probably due to my bad use of the search function). I imagine that mortality rates would be incredibly high...

  10. WI - Hitler elected president 1932

    What would have happened if Hindenburg had died a couple of years earlier in 1932 instead of after being elected to his second term. The SPD and moderate politicians were probably right in their opinion that only he was capable of preventing Hitler being elected - who would run to replace him...

  11. General Strike question.

    With regards to the 1926 British general strike I wonder what might have happened if the TUC had managed to persuade the Miner's Federation to accept the proposals made on the 7th of May by Herbert Samuel or decided for some reason to call of the general action at this point regardless. Would...

  12. Single Post Isle of Wight Railways TL

    This is my first serious attempt at writing a planned piece of alternate history, I should mention at the start that I am intending to use this as part of a larger Timeline called Red Britannia's Blood, however I would like feedback and comment on this work. In particular is it a decent style...

  13. Dominion of Westralia ?

    Inspired by commenting about it in another thread I wanted to sound out the idea and see if there are any thoughts about the topic. IOTL the people of Western Australia voted in a succession referenda on 8th April 1933 in which only 6 of the 50 electoral areas voted against independence. The...

  14. AHC/WI French Civil War instead of Spanish.

    The challenge is to have using the recognisable interwar period and therefore a PoD no earlier than say 1925 to change the political situation in France so that open civil war occurs between a leftist popular front government - possibly the OTL one, and openly fascist rebellious military/open...

  15. Quick Query - Interwar British Political Help Needed

    I don't suppose anyone could point me towards any resources [ideally online or readily available] that study British politics particularly that within the political parties, the internal disputes and negotiations that went on during the 1920s and 1930s. I would be especially interested if anyone...

  16. Sarawak TL Redux - Planning Thread

    This thread is for the planning of the proposed second attempt at my Kingdom of Sarawak timeline I produced shortly after arriving at the forum, everyone was very supportive of it for which I am most grateful but hopefully the new TL will be better planned, better thought out and better...

  17. Alternative Medieval Scottish Capital Question

    Hopefully someone can help me with this rather eclectic question :) Basically in OTL Edinburgh remained the capital of the Kingdom of Scotland despite being burned by the English a couple of times, this is for very good reasons such as defensibility and good location for trade. However in the...

  18. AHC - Estonia not annexed to USSR

    Basically the challenge is for Estonia to not be annexed directly into the USSR preferably not in 1940 but more slightly more plausibly not during the Soviet reoccupation of 1944. Would it be plausible for it to survive as a nominally independent and very loyal puppet regime to Russia or...

  19. AHC - US purchase of French Guiana

    The challenge is to have both the USA and French agree to the sale of French Guiana to the Americans with a PoD of 1880 and any circumstances you should wish - is this possible ?

  20. Plausibility of South American countries having african colonies in this scenario.

    Right I shall set out a scenario and then ask the question behind it. In this Scenerio South America manages to avoid the majority of conflict and trouble it experienced in OTL instead focussing on industrialisation and economic growth - they have a greater share of european immigration lets...
