I voted "other", as I'm interested in the consequences of no Louisiana Purchase.

Good update, but I doubt the Ottomans would be as neglectful towards their navy as they were IOTL. I'd imagine, with having a much larger coastline, and having extra revenues relative to OTL with the retention of the Balkan territories, they would try to retain at least a relatively potent navy...

It's very hard, but not impossible. Personally I think the only way it could have realistically happened is if the Russian Empire suffered a revolution and civil war analogous to OTL, and having an Ottoman Empire that was relatively strong and untouched by any major war. If the Ottomans stayed...

ITTL, Wilhelm was accidentally shot in the head by Annie Oakley, as covered two updates ago.

I admittedly know little of American history in this period, although it seems that ITTL the Democrats will be considered the more imperialistic of the two parties. I can definitely appreciate the significance of you having killed off Wilhelm however...

I don't think I've ever seen anything about the Metis on this Board before. I'll definitely be following this.

Brilliant TL thus far Nassir, keep it up! :) Presumably Russia has decided to focus more on Far Eastern expansion following the Russo-Turkish War ITTL, what with a stronger military presence and an earlier constructed Trans-Siberian Railway? I'd also be interested in knowing, as...

30th April 1986 Oxford United 1 Everton 3 Assuming Gary Lineker's claim he misplaced his boots that affected his performance before this match is true, and ITTL he doesn't. He goes on to score a hat-trick, meaning Phillip's 88th minute strike is nothing more than a consolation. Everton go on...

Canada isn't divided, the darker shade represents territories as opposed to actual provinces. Also Newfoundland was its own separate dominion at this point anyway.

I assume Spain joined the CP ITTL, given their acquisition of Morocco and Mauretania? If so I'd say it was overall, though I'd say a British Empire so badly affected to lose all semblance of control over the dominions would be very hard-pressed to retain any control over India. Also, what form...

Well, sometimes being overthrown can help extend an ex-monarch's life, as seen with Kaiser Wilhelm II in OTL, as being removed from office can relieve them of the pressures of responsibility. Abdul Hamid's paranoia can't have helped him either, both OTL and ITTL. In any case his life is only...

Just thought I'd bump this. I know Abdul will be busy with RL and that this TL will take a long time to write out but it would be nice to see how things are going at the moment.

I take it you mean the Rule Britannia TL? I agree, it is a very impressive TL but, no disrespect intended, I don't find it the most plausible scenario, at least long-term.

I'd already forgotten about Landshark's thread! :o (Assuming that's the one you mean?)

Sorry if this has been done in the past but, with a POD in the 20th Century, what is the most powerful the Royal Navy can be, both in terms of relative and absolute power, and in terms of global reach?
