    Victoria replies to Tewodros II

    Least favorite alt-history story?

    I remember discussing The Footprint of Mussolini with @The Red once and saying, I feel bad for Vargas cos he was a fascist dictator who did fight the nazis in otl but is never wanked over by the same people who wank over mussolini doing it.

    What if the Atlantic Slave Trade had ended early?

    Discuss this article here. Full disclaimer, Steve messaged me and Jeff a few weeks back with this idea and asked for help expanding it, so while everything after the divider is Steve and Jeff, the bit before the divider (the otl bit) is partly me and is partly directly copy and pasted from...
