  1. Guadeloupe not Canada

    I am thinking about writing a time line that explores Britain keeping its American territories and the effect that will have on the British Empire if it can call on the resources and markets of the OTL USA as well as the effect that remaining British will have on America. In particular I want to...

  2. The Pope stays the Bishop of Rome

    Constantine basically created the Pacacy via various gifts and it grew into temporal power. What would Europe look like if the Pope just stayed as the Bishop of Rome, retaining the spirital power of being the "Prince of Bishops" without the temporal power that being a head of state brought...

  3. George III of Great Britain... and France?

    Ok, so I know this is out there, but the idea is oddly echoed after WWII with the French idea that it join the British Commonwealth. Lets assume that George III didn't give up the claim for the French throne that all English monarchs have had since Henry V. This would mean at the end of...

  4. Irish Question

    At the time of Luther / Reformation most northern european countries seemed "happy" to throw off the yoke of Papal authority. However Ireland remained staunchly Catholic (even dispite pomgroms by the English). My question is why? What was different about the Church in Ireland?

  5. When is a Civil War not a Civil War

    I was recently asked how many civil wars England had had, and found I could not answer easily. Offically it is one - the Englaish Civil War (roundheads vs cavaliers etc.), but what about the Anarcy (Steven vs Matilda), the War of the Roses (York vs Lancaster) the Glorious Revolution? Why are...

  6. Effects of an outright win in the 1812 War

    I know that the possibility of a US / UK win of the 1812 war is a popular discussion point here, but I want to look at the effects if either country had had an outright win. I don't really mind how the victory happened, just that it happened. US Win This would be a defeat of the British...

  7. British Empire in America

    Lets imagine that the ARW doesn't happen and that France looses Louisiana in the Napoleonic Wars (a second French-Indian War). My questions are: 1) What happens to India? Is it still given the resources that it gets in OTL? 2) Does UK still press for territory in Africa? 3) What about...

  8. Britain gets Louisiana at end of Seven Year War

    In the swapping of territory at the end of the Seven Year War Britain got Florida from Spain and Spain got Louisiana from France. What would have been the effects of Sapin keeping Florida and Britain getting Louisiana?

  9. Keeping America Fedralist

    Is there any way that Adams could have beaten Jefferson in the 1800 US election? I am looking a creating a TL in which the 1812 war didn't happen and as far as I can see this means keeping the US fedralist, as the republicans all wanted America's manifest destany to include Canada and that...

  10. House of Godwin

    1035 – Alfred and Edward, the sons of Ethelred the Unready, are killed by Harold Harefoot. 8 June 1042 – King Hathacnut dies and is buried in Winchester. 10 July 1042 – Witenagemot meets and after argument Godwin is elected as the new king. Emma of Normandy immediately flees for Normandy and...

  11. Edward dies along side Alfred

    If Edward the Confessor had died with his brother (murdered on the orders of Harold Harefoot) who would have suceeded after Harthacnut dies? Magnus takes over in Denmark - would he have been invited by the Wiganmote to be the King in England? If not I assume that one of the Earls would have...

  12. Bristol - First City of the Empire

    I am looking at a timeline where Bristol rather than London is the capital of England. Can I have your thoughts on how this may alter ENglish history. I am aware that since Bristol faces West not East trade is more likely to be developed earlier with America but don't know to what extent.

  13. Napoleaon gets his 6 hours

    Lets assume that the British Home fleet has been scatered by a divine wind and Napoleon gets his fleet of troop transports across the Channel (which by now is a mill pond - so the transport ships don't sink). He lands an army of 200,000 at Norman Bay near Pevensy in Sussex (as this is where...

  14. 13 Colonies treated like Ireland

    The British always over reacted to Irish revolts and rebellions, killing civilians and rebels alike. Yet they did nothing similar (as far as I am aware) in the ARW. How would things have changed if the Brits used their anti-Irish rebellion tactics in the ARW?

  15. Undoing the Louisiana Purchase

    In the Treaty of Paris (1814) Spain was given back some of the territory that it "gave" Frence when the French controlled Spain. As the French added much Spanish territory to the Louisiana Purchase what would happen if Spain asked for the land back during the Congress of Vienna? If the...

  16. No Action of Union 1707

    If the Scots had not gone down the union line who could they have adopted as their king once the personal union was disolved on Queen Annes death? Would they have opted for the Stewart in excile? Is their a Scottish lord with enough royal links to be considered? Any ideas?

  17. 1812 War - British Victory

    I am looking at developing a timeline which starts with a POD of Britain winning the 1812 war in 1815 after defeating Napoleon at Waterloo. I know that the British were keen on an Indian "homeland" in the mid-west. Do you think it likely that the British would try to bring the USA back into...

  18. Irreplaceable by History

    As much of what is discussed here is about what if such and such didn't exist, I was wondering if there is anyone that you think is irreplaceable, i.e. if they had not been born no one else would have done what they did? Any ideas?

  19. What would the US look like if the 13 Colonies had been French?

    I am toying with a timeline where France not England founds the 13 colonies of the original USA. Assuming a similar timeline to ours (except France defeats UK in Seven Year War) and there is a revolution in 1776 against the French. How would the US be different from OTL?
