    British politics in a TL in which Hitler is assassinated in 1943

    America dropping out of the war derails whatever is left of the Allies, as there will be an immediate cessation to Lend Lease, not just to Britain but to the Allies in exile, and to the USSR. The problem with the TL is the timing, as late 1944 election means the new president doesn't take power...

    WI:After the first Sino-Japanese war, the emperor of Japan dissolved Japan's judiciary, parliament, and all other non-emperor powers?

    Without the parliament and judiciary what is his power base? He doesn't have "a party" here. The alternative is to go back to the daimyo and the samurai, but you are assuming not, in fact making things worse for them. Thus, you are making him reliant on "the army" but the army is the military...

    Italy stays with the Central Powers: Entente Victory Still Happens?

    If they join from the start they are in a prime position to intercept the N African troop convoys, which IIRC are escorted by the Dantons. The British have a few battlecruisers in the Med, the ones which went after the Goeben, but I don't think much else. So, if the Italians sortie at the start...

    How powerful Spain was in the 18th century?

    You can be a major power but not actually very good at it! In peacetime you have the revenues, make the displays, build the ships, equip the army. in wartime it all falls apart. Maybe 18th century Spain is best comparable to Mussolini's Italy

    How early would you need to change American colonial history to guarantee an Anglo-American sovereign relationship close as Anglo-Canadian in 1883?

    I think the Seven Years War creates the problem. Previous wars saw most the lands lost go back to the loser, but here not

    Thank you very much for the support on Kofi. I've been trying to answer there, but the password must have been written down wrong for this laptop and I can't login.

    How powerful could Italy have become by 1940 if it wasn't run by a strutting buffoon?

    I suppose you have to look at is WHAT would make it stronger? And how doable is that? - Does taking Abyssinia have any strategic purpose? Well, yes it joins Eritrea to the Italian Somali holdings. NOW those latter are only colonial rather than protectorates because Mussolini started a war to...

    IIRC one of the previous medieval kings used "Emperor of Spain" to indicate that he was sovereign over all of the Christian kingdoms, united under him. As you say, the later Spanish kings were also heirs to both the Aztec and Inca thrones, so in theory these are imperial titles - after all, when...

    WI/PC: Jacobites target the French Throne

    Unless they won, when they would create it ex post facto like Henry Tudor I don't see it as a very realistic scenario simply because it's a bunch of exiles trying to take over their host state, but legal niceties would be irrelevant to realities

    I'll get issue 10 out but that might be the last thing I do. The solicitors for my late dad's apartment don't seem interested in doing their job and completing the sale, and the buyers look likely to jump. If that happens, I am gone http://www.greywolfauthor.com/grey-wolf-blog.html#deth

    As the alternative to Rome or in a situation where two rival Popes reign? You might develop a situation where major powers choose their own allegiance, and eventually you have a system of Catholic CHURCHES each with a Pope at the head, similar to how in the Orthodox world each of Greece...

    what if Henry Ford never founded Ford?

    The absence of Ford in the market will lead to completely different dynamics among the other companies, so it's impossible to do more than play out some options. Would General Motors have bought up all the marques they did? Would Durant have been shafted,, started Chevrolet, bought out GM, then...

    Yes, it would be very difficult to break away, declare your independence and convince your former masters of your "neutrality". They would still just see you as rebels needing to be subjugated. Only if you can get meaningful support from another power can you assert this independence in any...
