  1. The Round Ball: Football in the United States

    1. EARLY DAYS Organised sport in the United States began as it did in the United Kingdom, during the nineteenth century. Whilst at the turn of the 1800s games existed and were played regularly, they differed drastically in rules which often changed game by game. The games themselves were...

    ... the National Anthem of the Confederation of British America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv9fFCpusQc In the realms of the past Britannia's fair hand And her valiant deeds Claimed for us this nation For freedom and crown And this land we hold dear Were traitors struck down And rebels...

  3. Washington's Surrender

    Despite working on this off and on for about 4 years, I still haven't finished this! So far I've reached August 1932, but anyway, I'll post what I've got and I'll do it in batches. Comments/Feedback/Suggestions/Ideas/Questions all welcome. Here goes. 1776 AUG 13: The recent build up...

  4. AH Challenge: TL-191 Design a Communist CSA flag

    Design a new flag for the CSA from TL-191 in which the Black-led revolution suceeds and the CSA goes Communist. My first effort (no doubt someone can do better). Pretty straightforward. 17 stars for the 17 Confederate states ringing a hammer and sickle. Central star with a black and white...

  5. DBWI: The Turtledove TL-191 Discussion Thread.

  7. The Ball is Round: Football in America

    WI Association Football had established itself as the dominant Football code in the USA during the 1870s? I think it's quite plausible. Prior to the 1860s, Football in the US and Britain were quite similar. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw it transformed from a wild, anarchic...

  8. Churchill and Stalin's plans for Germany go ahead.

    In October 1944, Churchill met Stalin in Moscow. Amongst the many issues discussed was the future partition of Germany. Churchill gives details of what was discussed in a note sent to Roosevelt on October 22, 1944, which was later included in 'Triumph and Tragedy', Volume VI of his series 'The...

  9. Hitler, an alternate Biography

    This is part of the timeline I'm working on, with the main POD being the British victory in America in 1777. In Europe, Britain's Queen Victoria became the first Electoress of Hanover and so Hanover is part of the United (British) Empire. It's position was the main reason for Britain's...
