  1. The US Civil War of 1833

    Well Mexico wasn't in total control of Texas at this time. The territory had already taken major steps towards self-government. Also, I don't think it would be comparable to the War of 1812 either. In this war, the Americans faced only a small force as the British were more concerned with the...

  2. The US Civil War of 1833

    South Carolina wasn't the only state that had issues with the Federal Government. The protectionist policies of the Northern states were deeply opposed by the free-trade supporting Southern states. Andrew Jackson actually did have strong doubts about the 'loyalty' of Virginia. So I don't think...

  3. What Would an 'Imperial Federation' be Called?

    Why not continue to call it the United Kingdom? This would still be an accurate term if additional Acts of Union become law. We would have the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. After all, the United States didn't change its name during its expansion...

  4. The US Civil War of 1833

    In 1832, President Andrew Jackson's Government passes yet another tariff act to protect fledgling industry in the Northern states from fierce British competition. The state of South Carolina becomes infuriated as it depends upon imports of cheap British textiles. South Carolina's state...

  5. British California

    Britain in the 1840's/50's would avoid war with the USA at all costs. Her forces are already overstretched, but most importantly she depends heavily upon food imports from North America. Rapid industrialization has caused mass migration from the countryside into towns and cities, and Britain can...

  6. DBWI:Who's seen the Great Dictator?

    Thanks for the links. Very funny indeed :D

  7. DBWI:Who's seen the Great Dictator?

    I loved the Great War scene where "Stalin's" doppelganger had the great job of pulling the string on that big gun. Then he misses the October revolution because he was in an insame asylum with shell shock. It was quite a surprise for the poor guy when he was released. What was his pre-war...

  8. Confederate States of America in WWII

    That movie was just ridiculous. Especially when the CSA invaded and annexed all of Central and South America. The writers were predicting the CSA's future policies based on the extreme views of a small number of individuals living at the time. I really do wonder what kind of perverse motives...

  9. WI: Australia as Reparations

    Highly unlikely to be the Portuguese as the British have the world's longest historical alliance with them. And the Germans do not pose a threat to Britain at sea in the 19th Century. Maybe the British interfer in the US Civil War and lose catastrophically, therby having to surrender Canada...

  10. DBWI:Who's seen the Great Dictator?

    Stalin actually had the film in his personal collection and was said to find it hilarious. Of course, no one else in the Soviet Union found it funny at all. I love the look on the dictator's face when he is told that Adenoid Hynkel has invaded. And the parody of the Teheran conference when the...

  11. What if the Aztecs did not do human sacrafice?

    The sacrificial system actually drove the rapid expansion of the Aztec empire. The constant need for victims made it necessary to expand and conquer.

  12. William the Conquerer with no Papal/French backing?

    I really don't think William would have set sail without Papal approval. It would make his duchy of Normandy highly vunerable.

  13. An independent Indian republic?

    How about a decisive British victory in the War of 1812? The British might create several native American buffer-states to keep the US in check after they withdraw the bulk of their forces.

  14. England wins the Hundred Years' War

    You really think England could have dominated Europe when they couldn't even rule their own island?

  15. DBWI: Where should we move the nation's capital to?

    New Orleans is the largest city in the CSA. If the Confederates can convince the British and French to intervene, New Orleans would be entirely out of the Union's reach due to its inability to conduct any major naval operations. Also, a bonus for the Confederates is that the CSA would not be cut...

  16. England wins the Hundred Years' War

    It wouldn't last. England and France are equally powerful so one could not permenantly dominate the other. And where would the seat of government be? If Henry V had lived longer, he could surely have held the union together throughout his reign. But this union would be extremely vunerable to...

  17. Austria get new territories after WWII

    If the Austrians had actively resisted the Anschluss instead of 'bending over and taking it', the Allies would have treated the Austrians as victims. Maybe they could have a chunk of Bavaria :D

  18. WI: Partition of Congo

    The Portuguese and Germans would not be able to justify an annexation of the Congo on such a basis. It would be an embarrassment because those countries were committing human rights abuses in their own colonies. It would be doubly embarrassing for Germany because it would violate the Berlin...

  19. WI: Hitler Rises in Austria?

    In Mein Kampf he expresses no support for the Autro-Hungarian Empire. He thought it was a chaotic, multi-national, multi-ethnic project that was doomed to failure. Hitler would almost certainly focus on Germany rather than the Balkans. 'Re-uniting' the German territories would be top of his...

  20. AH challenge: Franco-German Alliance

    What about Germany supporting France during the Fashoda incident? Although it would end up playing out as another Whale vs. Wolf campaign since the British would only be able to engage the Franco-German forces overseas. The British, though outnumbered, would be victorious in Africa because they...
