  1. Earlier "Liberated" Greece if Orlov Revolt succeeds

    What if Orlov Revolt hadn’t been an outright failure from greek point of view, and with Russian naval and supplies assistance Greek rebels had managed to secure at least control of Peloponese + Crete and some islands? I know the whole scheme was ill-planned and a lot of PODs are needed to turn...

  2. The Spanish II Republic: a stillborn democracy?

    IMHO, the Spanish II Republic was doomed since the very first day. Not only because the 30's weren't the best historical moment to start a democracy 'ex novo' (a system which was already losing ground around Europe), but because the competing political platforms were mutually exclusive. It was...

  3. Some ideas for the nth No Spanish Civil War TL

    General José Sanjurjo, military junta strongman and Head of State Recently I read the opinions exposed in this TL, and I found the possibility of a POD involving a earlier, more successful (and consequently less bloody) coup by the military against the Republic specially interesting...

  4. WWI breaks out in Near East, consequences?

    WI the spark which started WWI had been produced at a different place than OTL? Considering the options, there were plenty of potential conflicts involving the Great Powers, hence the Balkan powder wasn´t predestinated to ignite the Great War. I´ve read some threads regarding different...

  5. First shot of WWI fired near Mount Ararat

    WI the spark which started WWI had been produced at a different place than OTL? Considering the options, there were plenty of potential conflicts involving the Great Powers, hence the Balkan powder wasn´t predestinated to ignite the Great War.

  6. Discussion: Balkan Answers for Armenian Question

    In 19th century the longtime dream of Russian Empire had been gaining control of the Straits, and thus reaching the shores of Eastern Mediterranean. Reaching the Dardanelles and taking Constantinople would not only fulfill the Neo-Byzantine ambitions of Saint-Petersburg, but also would give...

  7. Discussion: No Spanish Second Republic

    In 1931 the King Alfonso XIII of Spain was forced to leave Spain and the Republic was proclaimed. During the past decades, the fate of the Monarchy had been at first tied to an oligarchic party system based on falsification of the electoral process, and after his demise, to a Military...

  8. No Spanish Civil War, the rise of a middle power?

    How would Spain have developed in the late 30s and the 40s, 50s… had the Civil War not happened? Regardless the political system ( constitutional monarchy, parliamentary republic or authoritarian regime), the basic premises are: Spain avoiding the Civil War , staying neutral during WWII (and not...

  9. Independent (but not Wilsonian) Armenia

    Well , after realizing through research that the survival of some kind of Wilsonian Armenia is highly unlikely (the territories allotted in Sèvres were already depopulated of Armenians and DRA had no military, nor interest at that point, in retaking them), I want to reconsider the matter but...

  10. Surviving Wilsonian Armenia

    What conditions must be met for the surviving of Wilsonian Armenia? I mean, an independent,(both from Turkey and Soviet Russia), non-communist nation, with an Armenian demographic majority, encompassing (at least) current Armenia, Karabakh, Nakhichevan , most Ottoman Erzurum vilayet, and Pontic...

  11. Jesus of Antioch

    What would have happened if Jesus Christ had been born somewhere else, but not too far away?. I mean , if we want Christian religion developing similar to OTL's, we need a charismatic Jewish-born preacher, born in a modest family, who starts His ministry claiming Divine descent, etc, and who is...

  12. A different Israel-My first TL

    Chapter I: The Exodus of Jose Nasi In 1560s, Don Jose Nasi, a jewish magnate and statesman, personal friend of the Sultan’s heir Selim, was a rising star in the Ottoman’s Court . Taking advantage of his influential position, he obtained a grant giving ruling authority over an area in Eretz...

  13. Ideas for an earlier Jewish National Home

    Alternate succession of events: 1 Pelatine retains a more stable, economic and politically active jewish minority in Ottoman Palestine, which reaches aprox 25% of the population by 1800 (Jaffa or Acre remain a Salonika-like jewish city, for exemple ) 2 Minor migrations pre-1880 (Damascus...

  14. Israel in WWI

    I'm working in a TL where Israel already exists since 1880. This Israel, on the eve of WWI is a British Protectorate, comprising roughly current State of Israel + West Bank & Gaza, and with a population of 1-1.2 milion with a 85 % jewish majority. Port of Haifa is already running , and there is...
