  1. Who becomes King of England?

    I was watching The King's Speech again, and the question seemed valid: If these were the only options, which of them would be most likely to become King Of England?: A Prince with pro-German sympathies. A Prince with the intention of marrying an American divorcee. A Prince with epilepsy...

  2. WI: in 1946, "Cleavage" is not invented by Hollywood

    What if, in 1946, Hollywood and Time do not invent the word "cleavage" to refer to part of female anatomy? does it affect later films? does it impact American life? Informative, but possibly NSFW...

  3. How to get Japan controlling part of India before the 1930s?

    I finally figured out what my next Timeline will be: Great Britain either gives or sells part of the Indian Subcontinent (or Sri Lanka) to Japan. My thought was that alone or cooperating with Britain, Japan crushes the Dutch in Indonesia, and gets to keep it*. (Britain still has Singapore and...

  4. A plausible Emperor Norton?

    We all know of Emperor Norton, a rice seller who made proclamations without backing (ie the disolving of the US by force) but was there anyone in the 1800s - in northwest Mexico, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Arizona - who could have led an independent nation? (ie "the Sister Republic"...

  5. ? - what would Goldwater or any other 1970s President do here?

    Writing a story as part of a challenge....and while nobody requested a backstory, I'd like to keep it as consistent as possible. What if the following three things happened: the US gets out of Vietnam (in this ATL, at most we sent Colin Powell and the other initial advisors, but got them out...

  6. Weber's Out Of The Dark

    . http://www.amazon.com/Out-Dark-David-Weber/dp/0765324121/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1 Yes, Out of the Dark, which I picked up because it reminded me of the upcoming movie (don't look up - yes, that was the name the advance posters had as the internet name)....an alien invasion novel. Wimpy...

  7. 'A world without Islam' by Graham E. Fuller

    anyone encountered this book? I was a little afraid to read this book much at my local Borders bookstore... The dust jacket says that the author uses this book to examine the history of the world from the 600s to the present day, looking at how history would be different, sans Islam. such...

  8. books "America 2012" and "Invasion America: the Novel"

    First - America 2012 the bit about the epilogue to show how much is rooted in fact, sorta reminds me of Dan Brown novels. though the tags are interesting - "2012 prophecy". though some reviewers are calling it The Ugly American for Islam. this is a good thing, right? and second...

  9. WI - Oudh, India 1784: a Nawab dies in a famine

    But what if, in 1784, the Nawab dies? Does one of his neighbors invade? Do the starving peoples flee to neighboring nations? Does his son or other heir do what Asaf-ud-Daulah did in OTL?

  10. WI - Japan does not adopt curry

    what if, in the 1860s, Meiji Japan decides that it isn't impressed with English curry, and the dish never takes off in Japan? ---in OTL: in regard to curry in Japan from the 1860s to the present day... She goes on to state that, when he fled to Japan for shelter under the Black Dragon...

  11. What if Al Smith (D) had become President in 1924?

    Would his only accomplishment be to be the USA's first Catholic President? might he bang some heads together and get the Hoover Dam built sooner? (plans and vague attempts had been made since the 1910s or so) reference: Colossus.

  12. Eastern Europe in exchange for Japan?

    What if, at the close of World War Two, the USA and USSR come to an agreement: Stalin will hand over all of Eastern Europe to the Marshall Plan and the West....and in return, Japan will become a Soviet client state. (wanting to avoid losing all influence in the area, Truman insists on Korea...

  13. Poll: Who would win?: WW2 Marines vs VietCong

    This was inspired by a comment on Deadliest Warrior - that both combatants (Waffen-SS and the VC) fought the Americans, but only one managed to win. My thought to that was "well yes, but it was also a different generation of Americans. what if the WW2 generation fought an enemy in the same...

  14. Roosevelt declares War against Japan

    Jaybird came up with this idea...kinda surprised he didn't post it. What if, instead of only cutting off supplies and trade with the Empire of Japan, Roosevelt declares war on the Empire Of Japan? (yep, no Pearl Harbor) though....would Roosevelt have to cut backroom deals with prominent...

  15. Morganthau Japan, my home

    *sigh* I suppose it's time for the truth. I was taken from my home TL when I was just out of College. I get a few pages from various newspapers every year or so, but it rarely adds up. (imagine if clippings from The Independent, Pravda, and USA Today were your only glimpses of OTL) It's taken...

  16. Nationalism kicks out Vichy & Germans from Africa

    . What if, in 1941/1942, the Vichy and their German masters are kicked out of North Africa (Morocco, Tunis, Algeria) by nationalists, Jews, and anyone else who wants to help kick out the Vichy. edit: in hindsight, I realize "nationalists" is not the right word...what is? what includes the...

  17. What if Labour doesn't win in post-WW2 Britain?

    I just watched the first episode of the 7th series of Foyle's War, and it ended with (SPOILERS) a Labour victory (/SPOILERS) ...which got me wondering: if Churchill's party had won another victory in that election, would Churchill be Prime Minister again, or would he hand the reigns to...

  18. Why the Japanese Empire should have stuck around

    is my head turning into The Onion? or is this how ironic reality is?

  19. The Republic of Australia, 1947

    I was thinking recently about Australia's recent(ish) internal debate over whether or not to become a Republic. If they had chosen to become a Republic in the late '40s or early '50s, would it have looked like it would have if the recent vote had made Australia a Republic?

  20. 2008: McCain & Biden win election!

    Let's say there's a bit more bipartisanship (or would it be with Obama and not Biden?) thoughts on if they can accomplish more than OTL? less?
