And how much of that vote was from the South, and how much from the Democrat controlled northern cities?

Also, very ecological - think of the aeration of the soil.

Would he? He is a Democrat and AFAIK he did not lift a pinkie against Jim Crow. Also - he kicks the bucket inside a few months without modern meds.

Moscow and London. Next question :)

Tsar Aleksander is not a Polonofile and does not create Kingdom of Poland in 1815. The fate of the Duchy of Warsaw is not really relevant here - can be cut up or preserved under Austrian/Prussian/Russian supervision (e.g. given to Wettins in return for loss of Saxony) . What matters is that...

From another forum. Not alt-hist as such, but more a sad example of urban legends circulated as truth, and thus alt-hist in its own right: Reminds me a lot of Emperor Nerva who basically kept the Roman Empire's finances afloat by melting down all those gold statues of his predecessor that were...

Oh, the something which might make a Kennedy unelectable in Massachussets - have him be caught in bed with a boy or a dead girl.

@Agent23 - Gladstone lost the 1874 election (voting in Jan and Feb), which he called at least a year earlier than he had to. And unexpectedly lost it, in spite of winning a majority of votes. He could had put off the election for over a year - until November 1875 or so. As 18 months is a veeeery...

"No" or "neutral". Joining the Central Powers is a no-no.

FIFY :) Portugal had been a British protectorate practically since the Restoration in 1640 ... London: Jump! Lisbon: How high?

Well, no USA for starters, as at some point of such a Frank-Wank XVIIIth century the North American colonies get zapped. If they are lucky the British retain control from South Carolina to south Main, with the Appallachians as western border.

I think this idea deserves its own thread.

Well, if Columbus sinks (or is quitely excuted by the Portuguese while returning) there might be a 100-200 years during which the Portuguese have a victualisation base at Bahia, while some tight lipped illterate fishermen and whalers ply the Acadia area. And terminate with extreme prejudice any...

As history shows, a period of small states is very often replaced by a big state. China, India, Mesopotamia, Persia ... In Mexico - once their former vassals defeat and eat the Aztecs - anything from 20 to 200 years may again produce a single entity - or simply some regional hegemon. In the...

I do not expect a single amerindian empire to form. For that they'd need to establish a maritime tradition. And their startng point in 1500 is too low.

And they were all ninja-trained too, I gather?

Supposedly Old Church Slavonic was used in Tridentine Rite Mass in Dalmatia (under Venice) since Day One. Tridentine versus Pauline Rite differ in MANY things, the use of the veracular being only one - and, even if highly visible, not the most important.

Nukes fly. If not - Turkey has the Mother Of Economic Crisis. Again if no nukes, the Arab world flocks to the USSR when they learn about "special relationship" between US and Israel. This "special relationship" might not form ITTL, though, as the careers of the Kennedy Brothers end inside a few...

Israel, before fuel and food and spare parts run out, goes on a war crimes spree nuking German cities? I am not certain that Israel is sustainable. It has to import food (well, feed for animals), fuels, raw materials for industry. Now it has no export markets, the supply chains are gone...

1 - this "swap" could happen (not overnight, of course) in the 2nd quarter of the XVIIIth century - the French do better, the EIC worse. Maybe Marathas wipe out Bombay. Henceforth the EIC focuses in SEA. As we know, at some points Sumatra or Malaya were close to being raised to Presidencies. 2 -...
