  1. Byzantine Crusades

    IMO, one of the greatest missed opportunities for successful Crusades was the warm and cold nature of relations with the Byzantine Empire. This prompted me to wonder what Crusades originated by the Eastern Orthodox Church would have looked like and how and why they would have done so. I'm...

  2. Block Island Sound Confederation

    This is kind of far-out, but say that Thomas Mayhew obtains a patent for Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the Elizabeth Islands, lands that he had purchased OTL and were later to become Dukes County, NY. Further, say that at least new Haven and Plymouth remain separate colonies. If we can still...

  3. Powel Crosley buys American Bantam

    WI Powel Crosley had bought into American Bantam instead of starting production of his own line of cars? PoD could be in 1938 or '40, but '39 seems most likely and interesting.

The catch is that this currency must become widely known beyond it's originating culture and time, at the...

  6. American Supertanks

    T-28 Super Heavy Tank Extremely thick armor, not enough engine, 25 ordered, two built, one still exists. WI they'd designed it with a lot more power and a little less armor, so that it had a top speed in the mid to high teens. Assuming no major design problems, the first batch of five is...

  7. Succesful Puckle Gun

    I wrote this a while back for a challenge. I'm thinking polishing it up and using it as part of another TL. Any thoughts? 1722 - The Carribean islands of St. John and St. Vincent are granted to John, 2nd Duke of Montagu. He raises a flotilla to secure the islands. Among the equipment are two...

  8. different or no Proclamation of 1763

    What if the Proclamation of 1763 hadn't given what is later known as the North-West Territory to Quebec or totally forbidden settlement west of the Appalachians? A) How is the new territory administered? B) Are more colonies formed, like Charlotiana or Vandalia? C) Are there more Indian...
