Hello Everyone! For those readers of my previous timeline, Into the Unseen Era, I’m sorry to report that I’m putting that on ice because Microsoft Word ate the entirety of my notes for the timeline. That basically broke whatever will I had to keep working on it as those notes contained...

Good King George "The so-called Good King George III of Great Britain, Ireland and latterly America came to the throne with great ambition and a desire to rule, a trait of quiet absolutism that was quickly forced down as he grappled with his place as an increasingly constitutional monarch. But...

Hi all, since the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, I’ve been learning more about the monarchy and the commonwealth. I saw a video by J.J. McCulllough in which he said that he knew people in Canada who thought that because the British monarch was the monarch of Canada, the UK, and other...

Blue Moon (WIP name) A timeline where Britain are the first on the moon. February 1962: Following John Glenn’s successful orbit of the earth, the British government is faced with a question. Do they pursue a space program, requiring tremendous amounts of money, effort, and support, or do...

The Pax Imperialis (The Peace of the Emperor). Or why the Chinese play cricket (For my beloved daughter Kwaryn) This one of those "the sun never sets" British Empire timelines. However what comes out at the end will very definitely not be the British Empire. Neither is it the Indian Empire nor...

Introduction 'I seek Liberty and Happiness in this land of Hope and Glory, for the fortune of the many and to myself I prey for the goodness of the Commonwealth and for all who wonder here, I thank God for protecting this great land and the wellbeing of others, of tyrants Kings and Queens I...

So, some context. In the 1650s, during the rule of Oliver Cromwell, he tried to institute what can be best described as a military dictatorship in the Commonwealth. England and Wales were divided into eleven regions, each governed by a major-general who were Puritans, Congregationalist reformers...

*Personally, I want to upload an image that I made myself, but when I uploaded it, it only popped up that I couldn't because of the capacity, so I can't upload anything i have about it. Hello, I am a user who is interested in alternative history that I just joined recently. Some times ago, I...

But providence doth often so dispose. - Oliver Cromwell July 2nd, 1644. Richard reckoned it had been about an hour since the battle started when the Bradford company were called to reinforce the left. The men had almost immediately begun to speculate on what that might mean for the course of...

Let just say that first English Civil War happened like OTL, but while Commonwealth is estabilished, leaders or anti-royalist opposition decide that Charles Stuart, former King of England should'nt be executed (let just say that they don't want to make martyr out of him) but instead he should...

Hello, this is my second attempt at a timeline with a point of divergence pre-1800. My first attempt was merely the development of a proto-CSA over 70 years earlier and while I was initially enthused with the idea, it got stale and instead rebooted my first timeline on here which was a CSA...

After some much needed time away from both content creation and resolving other matters I was dealing with, I am now pleased and excited to, nearly three years after the first thread was started, to inaugurate the new thread for the ever-expansive timeline I have created on this forum. Astute...

With a PoD after 1900, by 2020, have the majority of people in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand consider themselves to be British and royalist. (Please note that the Québécois are exempt from the British part, that's probably a bit ASB.) Bonus 1: Have the above result in much closer economic...

Assuming Poland-Lithuania manages to pull a Capet and gradually normalize the idea of hereditary succession (much like what happened in the HRE for the Habsburgs), and centralize into more of a united state, what would be the geopolitical ramifications of such an entity of a centralized...

With the various cricket threads recently, I've had a thought... With a different partition of India in the post-WWII era (I’ve bodged a quick map together below) what would be the effect on Indian cricket? Would the various Indian teams be weaker, would one of them have a broadly similar...

Hey folks, an idea I've toyed with for years, seeing if there is interest in following such a TL or in collaboration. Would cover the entire origins and development of Canadian Rugby/Canadian football, with the major POD being the 1929 season. For those of you who dont know, this is the first...

A while ago I was reading this Atlantic piece about a Franco-British political union proposed by Winston Churchill in the early days of WWII. So I got thinking: what if the UK and the US did something similar? Your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is to make those two unions, as an...

Say, had Poland-Lithuania been a strong state, with it's entire history from the 15 century onwards changed, with, say, the ocean access through friendly Denmark (maybe due to same dynasty), could it aquire colonies in Africa and Asia? What would be it's chances to be a Great Power? At least...

Part 1: Prelude The years 1385 and 1386 were crucial moments for the Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Poland was ruled by an underage queen while Lithuania was ruled by a recently converted Christian. With the conversion of Grand Duke Jogaila in 1345 came his marriage to...
