  1. Emberverse Discussion Thread

    So the other day I picked up Dies The Fire out of boredom and thoroughly read the book over three days. I’m currently on The Protectors War and I’m loving it. So I thought I would start a discussion thread for the series. Have you read the books? And if so did you enjoy them?

  2. In a Nazi victory scenario, how likely is the creation of the Order State of Burgundy?

    So if you're not familiar with some of the plans the Nazis for Western Europe, but one concept for France, besides a stretch of Northern France directly annexed to the Greater German Reich, was to reestablish Burgundy as a nation. The nation would have been run by the SS, and would have had its...

  3. AHC: President Quitman?

    So I was reading about John A. Quitman, a former US general during the Mexican American War and a fire eating Whig/Democrat. He would die of a mysterious ailment and pass in 1858. My question, since he was apparently very ambitious, is there any way for Quitman to become President of the United...

  4. The Death of the Chieftain and Bolshevik Planning and Help Thread

    So, while I still intend on finishing my timeline Dead By Dawn, and have several other projects Im currently working on a TL called "The Death of the Chieftain and Bolshevik". As I am still doing research, I have some base points I've decided on. So far, I want to have the 1934 Revolution in...

  5. TL 191 WI: What if the December Plot had been successful?

    So if you’ve never read Harry Turtledove’s Southern Victory books this isn’t the thread for you. So basically the question is, what if the December Plot, Willy Knights coup attempt against Jake Featherston, had succeeded and Willy Knight had become President of the CSA, how would the world of...

  6. How would a victorious Confederacy treat immigration?

    So say that the CSA manages to survive and establish its independence, how would the Confederate government and society treat foreign immigration to the Confederacy? Would they attempt to keep out all immigrants? Accept ones that applied to their white supremacist values, and likely only...

  7. AHC: An Independent Dhofar

    So if you don't know what Dhofar is, it is currently the southern most province of Oman, bordering Yemen. From 1963 to 1976, the people of Dhofar rebelled against the Sultanate of Oman and Muscat. Apparently Dhofar was a personal fief of the Sultan and was being run into the ground. As a result...

  8. A different husband for Empress Matilda?

    So in case you don't know about the Anarchy it was a long (like really long) civil war between claimants to the English throne. The two were Stephen of Blois, the nephew of the former king, and his daughter the Empress Matilda. She gained the title Empress because she married Henry V, the Holy...

  9. Abraham Lincoln's Legacy in a world without the Civil War?

    So I was thinking about Lincoln, one of the best regarded presidents in American history, and I was wondering, if the Civil War didn't break out, or at least was delayed by 8 to 10 years, how would Lincoln be remembered by the modern day? Would he end slavery like the South feared he would? Or...

  10. Reversing the fates of Canada and Mexico?

    So I guess I should preface this with stating that Mexico is filled with cartels and corruption and poverty (not trying to sound racist) and Canada on the other hand is a first world nation. So my question is, with any pod after 1492, how can Mexico and Canada reverse their fates?

  11. Harry Turtledoves The Darkness?

    I've just been reading up on this series and was wondering what people thought of it. To me transplanting WW2 onto a fantasy setting is intriguing. The Land of the Ice People sounds interesting.

  12. Fate of the Confederation of the Rhine in a Napoleonic Victory?

    So I was wondering, if Napoleon had achieved a final victory in Europe, what would be the fate of the Confederation of the Rhine? Would it survive? Would it fall apart?

  13. What if Nicholas the Second of Russia was assassinated in 1891?

    So if you haven't heard of the Otsu Incident, it happened when Nicholas the Second, Crown Prince at the time, was on a tour of the East, and while in Japan a Japanese policeman tried to kill Nicholas, only saved by the actions of his cousin, Prince George of Greece and Denmark. So what if Prince...

  14. AHC: A successful Impostor and Pretender

    So I've been reading a bit about some impostors who were also royal pretenders. There were the Pseudo-Neros, with varying success and the False Dmitrys, but I've been concentrating on the British (or rather English) versions, in particular Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, both of whom acted as...

  15. A surviving Confederate Ireland?

    So I've recently been reading up on the various wars in Irish history, and I came upon the 1641 revolt and the Irish Catholic Confederation. Although they never claimed to be a government or parliament (as only a king had the right to call a parliament), they certainly acted as one. So my...

  16. The politics of South Africa in a Nazi Victory scenario?

    I know there is a thread about the politics of the United States in a Nazi Victory scenario, but I was wondering, what about South Africa? IIRC Nazi plans for Africa had it divided in three. The north would go to Italy, the Center would go to Germany, while the rest would go to an Afrikaner...

  17. AHC: A monarchist Ireland and a Republican Britain

    I was wondering what it would take to get a world where modern Ireland is under a monarchy, while Great Britain is under republican government. Considering how hard this is, the POD can be any time after the Norman invasion of Ireland.

  18. AHC: A longer lasting North Sea Empire

    I was just reading about the North Sea Empire, which was a Danish lead kingdom including both Norway and England. Is there any way the union could have lasted longer?

  19. How can Franco-Columbians remain the majority in British Columbia?

    I was reading about the Franco-Columbian population (the French speaking inhabitants of British Columbia) and it said, prior to the 1858 gold rush, French was the lingua franca for the fur trade and they remained the majority until said gold rush. So the question is, how can British Columbia...

  20. What if Stefan Dušan had not died so suddenly in 1355?

    I was just reading about the Serbian Emperor Sefan Dušan and how he conquered and established a powerful empire centered on Serbia, which at it's height controlled most of the Balkans. In 1355, he raised an army of 80,000 men with intent on marching on Constantinople, and 40 miles to the east...
