  1. US enters WW1 in 1915: Effect on US politics

    So let us imagine the US enters World War 1 in 1915.

Would they have been able to defeat the Cuban revolutionaries and maintain control of the island into the 20th century or were...
  6. WI Mary doesn't execute Lady Jane Grey

    Something I've been wondering about lately, why was it necessary for Queen Mary to execute Lady Jane Grey after the Wyatt rebellion? As far as I know Lady Jane was not involved in anyway in inciting or supporting the uprising, and it is difficult to see how Jane could possibly have been...
