  1. Challenge: different Compromise of 1850

    Your challenge if you choose to accept it is to come up with another version of the Compromise of 1850. It must not only resolve the issues of the day, but satisfy both the Northern Free States and the Southern Slave States. And it must either postpone or prevent the American Civil War from...

  2. The North wins in '61

    I've noticed that the majority of Civil War threads have to do with the South winning. So WI the North wins.... earlier? Say, after First Bull Run? There is no Emancipation Proclamation, no Gettysburg, no Gettysburg Address, no Lincoln Assassination, no Reconstruction, etc. What does this mean...

  3. Stalin attacking the west? WTF?

    And as a result, authors who ostensibly know a thing or two about history crank out books without considering whether they're realistic or not.

  4. Stalin attacking the west? WTF?

    http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/robert-conroy/red-inferno-1945.htm Shouldn't AH book publishers demand at least a Degree of plausibility from their authors? :confused:

  5. DBWI: Anyone read those World at War books?

    I don't find it ludicrous that someone would develop a nuke by 1945; I find it ludicrous that it would be the Americans. Germany was always on the technological cutting edge. If the Race had not invaded, I believe it would have been Germany developing a nuke first, and they'd have used it on the...

  6. A chicken starts WW3?

    KFC has a field day........ and then is promptly shut down after the entire population of Vermont comes down with radiation sickness.... :rolleyes: Seriously though, this does the legend about Mrs. O'Leary's cow starting the great Chicago fire one better. A lot better. ;)

  7. Beatles music in the world of Fatherland

    Ostensibly they are who Robert Harris was referring to. And the cover of the American record Meet the Beatles can be seen as a poster in one scene in the HBO movie. Suffice to say, it's quite surreal to see a fully uniformed SS sturmbannfuhrer walk past a picture of the Fab Four. :rolleyes:

  8. WWI after the FAILURE of the Unmentionable Sea-Mammal

    If he should do that, I imagine it would be a different Barbarossa than OTL, what with fewer troops and resources, possibly dead commanders like Manstein, etc. Plus the Wehrmacht likely would have learned a thing or two from fighting in Britain, and would be likely to at least attempt to put...

  9. WI No Axis Invasion of France

    Hm. Interesting, Cook. Continue, please. :)

  10. Beatles music in the world of Fatherland

    Those of you who have read Robert Harris' novel Fatherland might recall that The Beatles are mentioned as playing in Hamburg in this alternate 1964. (In the movie, the Fab Four can be seen on a poster in Berlin by which the protagonist strolls.) Since, in that scenario, Great Britain surrendered...

  11. WWI after the FAILURE of the Unmentionable Sea-Mammal

    The census among members of this board, as well as among historians, is that Operation Sea Lion (I can hear the collective groan) would have been a massive failure and possibly doomed the Nazis. I am not going to debate that, or attempt to construct a Nazi-victory scenario. What I will do...

  12. Challenge: TL-191 computer game

    LightInfa made one for the game Making History II.

  13. DBWI: looking back on the 20th Anniversary of Nazifascism's collapse

    OOC: Well, because in my imagination, I pictured a Nazi victory leading to Lebensraum, thus Berlin is well away from any borders particularly with the Soviet Union, if the SU still exists.

  14. DBWI: looking back on the 20th Anniversary of Nazifascism's collapse

    OOC: I don't know. Blocking off the dissidents, maybe? Just take the ball and run with it.

  15. DBWI: looking back on the 20th Anniversary of Nazifascism's collapse

    I do know that I wouldn't want to be a European right now. Even twenty years after the collapse, France, Russia and the People's Republic of Poland still don't have viable governments. Witness the chaos and rise of piracy in those three rogue states.

  16. DBWI: looking back on the 20th Anniversary of Nazifascism's collapse

    Are you referring to the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was 20 years ago this November, or are you referring to the actual collapse of the Nazi government following the successful coup of May 1992? :confused: Regarding the cold war, I still say President Patton should have launched those nukes...

  17. We didn't start the Fire refers to alternate events.

    Joseph Stalin (or Dzughashvili) - benevolent head of the NKVD, himself purged because he was mistrusted by.... Malenkov- General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Killed in the bombing of Moscow. Nasser- Egyptian terrorist fighting against Israeli domination of the Sinai...

  18. We didn't start the Fire refers to alternate events.

    The idea here is to keep the lyrics to Billy Joel's We didn't start Fire the exact same, but have them refer to different events. Feel free to contribute, but only as long as you know the words! Harry Truman- first openly gay US politician to get elected President. Doris Day- actress who was...

  19. Famous quotations that never were

    "Farrah Fawcett still lives....." Michael Jackson's last words.
