    AHC: More Unusual Romance Languages

    Kinda dificult after the French revolution. One of the key revolutionary innovations was the creation of the Nation-State and its monolinguism in schools, administration, trade, commerce and law courts. Only in the 20th century did the cultural rights of national minorities wihin a State became...

    Would Latin America be better or worse off with a surviving Spanish empire?

    One of the key demands from the colonial elites was free trade, against the Spanish monopoly that provided at high prices in limit amounts and in less than standard quality manufactured goods and textiles. It was also very obvious to many that Spain lagged behind Great Britain, France and US...

    Why did Parliament give up on the commonwealth so easily

    Quite a stretch to call the Commonwealth (1649–1653) and Protectorate (1653–1659) parliamentary rule, at least has we understand it at present. Although they were elections in 1654, 1656 and 1659 after Oliver Cromwell dissolved parliament over disagreements to put it lightly. Not considering...

    If the plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944 had succeeded, and the new German leadership had immediately sued for peace, are these borders realistic?

    I would say for the following: 1- unconditional surrender - Non negotiable, period. 2- Eastern frontier implausible Silesia given to Poland and division of Pomerania. I don't understand why the Polish population of said territories should stay in Germany. Want another war? 3- No monarchy - Non...

    A "democratic" English Republic?

    I don't think so. Cromwell, the Grandees of the Model Army, most of the gentry and the City of London, the Rump Parliament, (or any parliament elected under management of the Army) were politically and socially conservative. To them " An Agreement of the People'' was already too radical in...

    Would a german unification in 1848 still lead to war with France?

    I think an interesting outcome would be outside of Europe. France and a united Germany would be competing for a colonial empire in Africa and Asia and perhaps an earlier Scramble for Africa.

    Revanchist Spain (Alternate Fascism?)

    The Cartlist coup is a pipe dream and I would give it another twist. Thought, it is true that all condition were there for a proto-fascism or authoritarian government. It sort of happened with Primo de Rivera's Dictadorship (1923 -1930) and Maurism - the major radical conservative movement of...

    Invergordon Mutiny

    Hello there. Searching for unrelated things found the Invergordon Mutiny. It was as an industrial action by around 1,000 sailors in the British Atlantic Fleet that took place on 15–16 September 1931. Did not find a ATL that deal with it. Kind of amazing considering that the National Government...
