    What happens to Australia if transportation continues to British North America?

    The Dutch seem the obvious ones to also have an interest early on, but idk how true that would be. France and Germany also had interests in the Pacific but I think mainly later?

    Alternate History General Discussion

    I hadn't seen that specific quote before but I find it hilarious given how much Hillquit was the bete noire for generations of people who considered the SPA in general too moderate.

    Things that look like alternate history but aren't

    I even meant to mention that but it slipped my mind (though that one isn't really a thing anymore in the same way, they mainly just keep advertising it to drum up the tourist trade)

    Things that look like alternate history but aren't

    Australia and Brazil too. Slightly surprised Argentina and Switzerland don't tbh. EDIT: Worth noting of course that English and Scottish marriage law have never been the same in other respects, and have actually diverged further in some ways in recent years.

    WI Roman Hispania is ISOT to an alt 1392 Spain, overwriting all lands of the Christian Kingdoms of Iberia?

    I feel like Granada and France probably make some conquests but possibly not the whole thing. I also do wonder how secure the Roman rule over the Iberian population would be at the time in the first place....

    Writing AH. Anachronisms Part 5: Fly Me to the Moon

    Galileo tried to do this too with what we now call the Galilean moons of course (the "Medici", to him)

    WI the Booth Conspiracy is a complete success?

    ISTR some concens over what exactly the legal situation would be in terms of the Secretary of State then being responsible for organising the election to replace Wade's interim presidency?

    AH Challenge: Preempt the rise of car-dependent urbanism

    The easiest thing in most countries is probably to introduce a Japanese style proof of parking law early on. I don't think that's ridiculous to happen if someone happens to push - the default assumption to begin with was that cars should be parked off street (as carts and carriages usually...

    Westminster with Proportional Representation. Part 3.

    Interestingly enough, my book on PR from 1911 specifically uses the Chamberlain machine's dominance of Birmingham as an example of the unfairness of FPTP.

    WI Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, King of Hannover dies in the Revolutionary wars

    Alternatively, is there any chance of Augustus getting his marriage to Murray recognised? He apparently tried quite hard OTL and she does seem like the one of his sons' preferred partners George III is least unlikely to give in on.

    WI Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, King of Hannover dies in the Revolutionary wars

    Definitely an interesting possibility - but is Augustus Frederick more likely to have children TTL?

    WI: Jacques Delors becomes president of the French Republic in 1995

    Idk how he could be persuaded to run, but I feel like the immediate questions on the second are whether Emannuelli and Jospin still do and if he's nominated does he do better or worse than Jospin? @Redolegna ?

    Tales From Development Hell: Indiana Jones IV.

    PM's Election Maps And Stuff Thread

    I agree, but I'm also currently amused to remember.ber how when the Senedd announced moves to a similar system a lot of the reaction was "six seats per constituency? That's way too many!"

    Currently watching documentary

    Not sure about the Red Front but IIRC compared to the SA arguably part of the problem is they were more militia-like in that it was a volunteer thing in people's off hours rather than something they were paid for

    Mundial: An alternative history of the Football World Cup

    So a 1932 Olympics tournament sees Uruguay win and because of that they go? I can see it I guess
