    Let's make a list of PODs in Canadian History. This may be in the post-1900 forum, but PODs before 1900 are fine. Off the top of my head I can think of... France wins the Seven Years War Canada joins the American Revolution America (clearly) wins the War of 1812 Sir John A. Macdonald...

  3. Pre-1900 Three Term Presidency

    I hope the title makes sense. What I'm wondering is, what would happen if a President of the United States had served three full terms as president before 1900. Washington would likely be the best bet for this to happen, but I think he was unhealty and might have died in his third term. If not...

  4. A Better Name For The War Of 1812

    It's really poorly named, considering it lasted longer than just 1812. If I remember correctly, it lasted until the peace treaty was signed in 1814, but Andrew jackson did his thing in Florida in 1815. Right? Anyway, I was thinking something along the lines of the American-British War. Or...

  8. DBWI: Which Novel In The Big Brother Trilogy Is Your Favourite?

    Would it be 1984, published in 1949? 1973, Published in 1955? or 1995, Published in 1959? My Favorite would be 1995. I thought the first two were grim, but 1995 is as dark as it gets. OOC: In this TL, George Orewell lived until the early 1960's. 1973 is a prequel to 1984, and 1995 is the sequel.

  16. Hilter Goes To France

    Adolf had long been fond of the French when he moved to Paris to study art. The French had a much more classy society he found. Not at all like those brutish Germans. He studied there for several years, until war came, and Hitler quickly joined the French Army. Despite facing death several...

  20. DBWI: Can a Roman Catholic Be Elected President?

    Now that Mitt Romney, (or should I say President Romeny?), has been sworn in as the first Mormon President of the United States, I've got to wonder, could the same happen to a Roman Catholic? In 1960, of course, John Kennedy famously ran for President, and he was a Roman Cahtolic. He lost to...
