On this 109th anniversary of the Lusitania's sinking, I definitely think that a Lusitania movie could no doubt be an excellent thriller.
Remember that, like the aftermath of the 1912 Titanic sinking, the 1915 Lusitania sinking had many survivors who were able to tell stories and recall events...
I think, in that case, Napoleon could have have more lasting advantages by either conquering, or allying with, the Barbary states rather than invading Egypt. This assumption is based on Napoleon’s history and also on earlier, pre-Napoleonic French history.
According to Wikipedia, the Barbary...
In MacKinlay Kantor's 1961 alternate history novel If the South Had Won The Civil War, Cuba and Alaska actually switch places in history. Cuba becomes a Confederate state while Alaska is never purchased by the United States and remains part of the Russian Empire.
The United States, the...
The first thing that comes to my mind, looking at both Snowstalker's and James the AH Fan's maps, minus northern New Jersey, is the Alien Queen Xenomorph on her side with Long Island being her elongated head.
In this scenario of the Philippines coming “under German rule from 1868 or 1870”, it would Prussia who would be the colonial master as this time period pre-dates the establishment of the united German Empire.
In this case, assuming that the Franco-Prussian War still occurs in this ATL, the...
I may be wrong, but it was my impression that the OP, acgoldis, was hypothesizing an ATL where the monarchy survived after the German Empire lost World War One and Wilhelm II remained Kaiser reigning until the 1930s when Hitler became Chancellor.
With Germany facing another devastating, and...
In OTL, a 31-year-old Wilhelm II dismissed the incredibly successful, world famous 75-year-old Chancellor Bismarck in 1890. Later, Wilhelm II finally brought Germany's popular, de facto dictators, Hindenburg and Ludendorff, to heel in 1918 at the tail end of World War One. He dismissed...
It was not a joke and it was a serious offer. If you go to the Wikipedia article "Johann II, Prince of Liechenstein", there is this quote:
Then you can click on the footnote at the end of this quote, numbered (8), which looks like this:
8. ИноСМИ (21 December 2019). "Русская Америка на...
This is exciting, not knowing if Napoleon will be able to pull this daring maneuver off. Everything on the roll of the dice. I also like the way you humanize the Marshals, showing that they really are also flesh and blood men with everyday concerns. Plus, with the aid of my Microsoft...
Bismarck himself felt that the French would have had a lasting bitterness towards Germany no matter what. In A. J. P. Taylor’s “The Struggle For Mastery In Europe 1848 – 1918”, pages 217 – 218, Bismarck compared his war with Austria, where the Austrians were defeated in 1866 at the Battle of...
I am very much an amateur lover of history but if I come across something of interest I would be glad to let you know. When I think of the 190,000, I think about their future contributions being snuffed out. We just don't know all that was lost. I don't know how long your planned ATL will...
Ambusher11, thank you so much ! This is another great example of posting a link to a fact-based, interesting article on a relatively obscure piece of history on what-might-have-been. The alternate history nerd in me is in heaven.
I really enjoy it when someone, like you did here Dorknought, posts a link to a fact-based, interesting article on a relatively obscure piece of history on what-might-have-been.
Before this I had only read scant references to a possible cooperation between the Italian position in Italian East...
