So this is the thread that I decided to open up for any news coming out from the Balkan region, as we have no threads about it, until now. For the first one, I’m sure this is going to be something that’s been on the news. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65468404.amp...

Is there any threads that cover the news from the Balkans region? If not, then I'd like to ask the staff for permission to start one, given the school shooting incident in Serbia.

Inspired by a similar sounding thread, though focused on both ASOIAF and the Game of Thrones TV series, I've decided to set up this thread that should give out ideas for future Harry Potter fanfics, or to recommend certain fanfictions related to Harry Potter shipping or other genres within the...

I'm not sure if there is a thread inspired by the ASOIAF Fanfic Ideas and Recs, but for Harry Potter. If not, then I'd like to get permission to set up that thread

All right, given that the 2022-23 NHL Season is upon us, I have to make this thread. Given that I currently reside in a hockey city, I would have to make some comments related to hockey. This thread will mostly be focused on the National Hockey League, but other hockey leagues will also be...

Do we have any threads that talk mostly about hockey in general? I am not sure if I can create a thread that focuses mostly on the NHL.

I played this scenario a long time ago, but it's going to be an ISOT forward, not backward. So here goes: What if the Central Powers members as of July 27, 1914 (Germany, Austria-Hungary) had been ISOTed to 1956? More precisely, the date of October 23, 1956, when the main phase of the Hungarian...

It is often on various alternate history websites that the question of what if the Republicans won the Spanish Civil War often pops up, but the main problem is that there isn't any kind of PoD for this to happen. Another thing is that one of the TL ideas that I had is a neutral Fascist Italy...

Mostly because of the outbreak of WWI, and the Russian Civil War soon after that, the potential development of the Russian Federov Avtomat was limited. Yet, it was seen as the world's first attempt at making what we now call the automatic rifle. However, the usage of the Federov Avtomat was not...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002 The Millennium Challenge exercise of 2002 was primarily meant to test the US military's transformation into a new kind of warfare where high technology would be used heavily to change the outcome of the battle. However, the most notable...

Given the whole Spratlys Island conflict that's been going on for a long time, it wouldn't be surprising that China would resort to such dangerous measures to keep their entire claim on the whole island chain. The Philippines, along with Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan, are the other...

Although this may not have been confirmed as one of the planned original endings of Gundam SEED before the release of Gundam SEED Destiny, Kira Yamato was supposed to die while killing Le Creuset at the Second Battle of Jachin Due, while Athrun Zala would have lost a limb and possibly other...

The Treaty of Torsedillas was only possible because of possible conflicting interests between Spain and Portugal, where Portugal can claim the lands east of the line proposed in said treaty, while Spain would claim the lands west of that same line. However, the Treaty of Torsedillas was not...

For those of you who don't know, Dmytro Vyshnevetsky was rumored to have been the first Cossack Hetman and also founded the Registered Cossack regiments that served the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, Sigismund II August's attempts at Catholicizing the Ruthenian population had angered...

So I noticed that there isn't much topic surrounding the Canadian military, and as a former army cadet who actually wanted to join the military, but for various reasons, couldn't, I just wanted to post a thread on discussing about the Canadian military in general. For example: * How will any...

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this kind of thread, so please move this if this is in the wrong area. POSSIBLE POLISH INTERMARIUM POST-1991: Could European integration have been more smooth if the old inter-war Intermarium project was implemented in the post-Cold War era...

PROLOGUE: THE WORLD AT LARGE --- HAMBURG, EMPIRE OF GERMANY FEBRUARY 14, 2020 PRINCE LIONEL OF ENGLAND, HEIR TO THE HOUSE OF VANCOUVER (I) To any observer, when one takes a look at the city of Hamburg, in the northern regions of Germany, it was just as large as its neighbors in most of...

I’m surprised that during Robert’s Rebellion, there wasn’t a single house in the North that could have aligned with House Targaryen, since the rest of the Seven Kingdoms were a bit divided (well, the Reach might almost be wholly United) between supporters of the Mad King vs the...

Out of all the various Chinese dynasties, only the Yuan and the Qing had managed to expand China's borders to include various ethnic minority groups that have come to accept their authority. The Yuan, being a Mongol dynasty, had expanded into the traditional Jurchen lands in addition to the...
