    TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    True she did, but went about it in a confrontational way, with Mrs T less able to make her mark here, the next leader gets to deal with the shut down of the mines, unless of course the miners strike happened on queue, but with no Falklands cos her the job? British industry was otl quite sick...

    TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    Ah, but changed circumstances ITTL with Britain being slightly less screwed, and different PM, Presidents etc might mean the unions and modernisation are in a different relationship.

    TL: UK Overseas Regions [Redux]

    So Mrs T didn’t try to bring the Falklands in as part of the UK? Interesting as that what I was expecting- though perhaps with new post-war investment the Islands might consider a petition. Do any of those Pacific Island chains ask to join Australia or New Zealand instead? That would make a...

    Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives)

    I was trying to suggest that if the eastern war ends in 1916 with a deal, then the Oct revolution probably does not occur. You might still get a Feb due the economic fallout, but it’s if they have made a separate deal the Germans are not releasing Lenin as they need a stable Russia on their...

    The Lusitania Disaster would make for a fast-paced Hollywood thriller..

    There is a movie in Lusitania’s sinking but like the Miracle on the Hudson the sinking would only be the Mid-movie climax since it is such a short event. I think it would need to be a character action-drama rather than documentary style. Two on-off lovers being separated and lost, then reunited...

    The Lusitania Disaster would make for a fast-paced Hollywood thriller..

    From: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/01/lusitania-salvage-warning-munitions-1982 So yes Lusitania was carrying munitions, no they did not explode and the second explosion was likely coal dust as Dr Ballard and many others have said.

    Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started as a comic produced by Mirage Studios in the 80's. It was picked up and essentially remade into the 80's-90's cartoon , which of course led to movies, more cartoon remakes, movies, comics etc etc. The original creators eventually sold the rights to...

    So I was wonder what might have filled the gap if TMNT had never taken off beyond the Mirage comics?

    The death of Herbert Henry Asquith and the subsequent course of events: A timeline from April 1911

    Bit late to the party, but here is an idea: Grey's govt shake up means the Board of Trade changes its guidence on the number of lifeboats for the tonnage of ship - it was debated in 1910/11 but was not changed OTL. This change means all ships have to carry more lifeboats - perhaps not 'lifeboats...

    Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives)

    Good chapter! Violating US neutral space like that is going to really rile up the public. Spotted a typo: “only able to take onboard fire class passengers.” If one the U boat Commander had waiting a little longer he’d have got Cymric on its own… Long term thinking- if America joins the...

    A very different 1540: Anne of Cleves takes charge

    Well the Howard’s are in a mess. That family tree inheritances will need some cleaning up. Anne is a lot sharper here than a lot of people might consider her. Seems like Edward needs a strong tutor and role model.

    A very different 1540: Anne of Cleves takes charge

    Interesting chapter- Kitty know how to play her King. Getting Mary her match is impressive work. Hummm… was that the King’s child? Either way it is a shame they have died early. Kitty is still young enough to have more yet one hopes.

    There and Back Again: The English Journeys of Catherine of Aragon

    Well Eleanor is certainly all grown up and playing at the game of murder now. Still it does seem a petty revenge. Wonder how this one will leak to future historians or if we are getting an exculsive glimpse of something that is never found out...?

    The Official Ocean Liner Thread.

    Cool. The design is still an ocean liner, but with a lot of crusing amenaties in there - though sailing from Italy just getting from the Med to the Atlantic is similar to a cruise so it makes sense.

    OP does not say anything about not being interesting in fictional timelines. "I'm creating this thread as a compilation of information, sources, research and timelines for Post Independence and Late Qing Era Mongolia based alternate histories."

    WAsn't the SS Leonardo da Vinci the sister ship to the Andrea Doria? It is a nice design.

    Disaster Averted (Titanic Lives)

    I am suprised a 1912 Roosevelt win has not been followed with quiet reforms and a build up of the American Army and Navy once WW1 broke out given it was in need of it. It should not take as late as OTL for America to get invovled in WW1 this time with this President, even without Lusitania...

    King Arthur the Posthumous

    Well a nice try there Arthur, but glad KoA was there to bust your bubble as you don't want your bribe thinking you are a charlaton. Still from the description, maybe Isabel will still fall for you.
