  1. Alternate History PODs that go hard

    Henry VIII being killed by the Pilgrimage of Grace in Kingsley Amis's Alteration and Tudor England re-Catholicizing under Catharine of Aragon rather than Mary I; he's known as "Henry the Abominable," killer of priests, monks, and his own wife, destroying the shrines to pay his bootlickers...
  2. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    oh yes, I liked tracing how you outlined each swing in the theories they adopted, the SLPA/Workingmen's/Grangerite/Greenback coalition in the 80s, then the tension between the old union leaders, the Haymarket/Homestead unionists, Sewer Socialists, and Populists in the 90s, and then DeLeonism...
  3. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    "Marxist-Lincolnist," heh
  4. AHC - have more "Basque-like" Languages. Linguistic Survival

    they even managed to survive the Mongol deluge they'd fled to Royal Hungary from and were granted a separate autonomy also just found out north Spain had a small area where the Visigoths left their only cultural influence
  5. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    it's a photo of Leni Riefenstahl suddenly distraught at a civilian massacre in Poland 1939 while making a propaganda film; "Mad Dog" tactics are Featherston's order to use terror tactics to shock and numb the occupied Yankees (and "Kanawha" is just West Virginia) (also the uniforms are dead wrong)
  6. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    Anne Colleton witnessing a massacre at Burnsville, Kanawha, 1942, while serving as a war correspondent. At least 15 adults of Lewis County were massacred as "Mad Dog" retaliation for a Jayhawker attack on the occupying forces.
  7. What alternate history ideas you wish they were used more often?

    no joke, the CSA actually made the cottonclad
  8. TL-191: After the End

    @David bar Elias is that a reference to Walt Kelly's Pogo?
  9. What are the implications of Soviet communism collapsing during or immediately after WWII?

    @Strategos' Risk also what I wrote (so so long ago) would fit the German-Russian relationship under Savinkov, Kerensky, or Cyril I
  10. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    lol at how Texas is carefully partitioned but all of Brazil is just wadded together into one state; there's actually lots of barmy invasion-and-vengeance fantasies popping up at this time (NYC gets shelled by the dastardly Spaniard, NYC gets shelled by Perfidious Albion, NYC gets shelled by...
  11. How would a Lyndon LaRouche Presidency (1981-1989) go?

    5,000 Fingers of Dr. T-style camps where children and orchestra players must learn Verdi tuning
  12. Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    surely it'd be called Volkshuhn, nu?
  13. Nothing For Which to Apologize: Ambition and Loathing in the New South

    @MonarchistCanuck naturally, a Jacobite South Kaiserredux scenario
  14. Nothing For Which to Apologize: Ambition and Loathing in the New South

    and OTL Alabama was the second-largest CPUSA membership after NY, Robin Kelley's Hammer and Hoe goes into detail but doesn't seem widely available: it does show how they used M-L doctrine to specifically target sharecroppers' different needs and have them organize and mobilize themselves
  15. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    I rationalize the TL-191 (191.2?) GOP as a relict, but as enough of a force in most Northron states to leave them basically 33-33-33: they're solid WASPs and probably isolationist; during the 1884-1920 party era their dominance would be restricted to New England and the areas of Minnesota and...
