lets play the "what if" game

[kristopherb]

if woodrow wilson didn't push self detimination;
britain/france whould still have an empire
there whouldn't be such thing as 3rd world countries
ww2 whould be a lot shorter(more terratory-more men)
there whould be no war on terror just some rebels in east asia

no darkages;
we would be colonising space now

if washington lost his war of independance;
england whould still have colonies(because england won they whould invade the french colonies not main land)
less polutants
the war in veitnam whoyuld be england&france vs commies

3rd world war ;
2nd cold war not a war

if oil was scarce;
we whould not be pollutants
no invasion of iraq

if the spanish armada completed its plan;
protitants whould no longer exist )no armarica

Again, I refer y'all to the current Never Ending Stories forum's Alternate History Thread. I highly suggest that if people here have any interest in alternate history (aka "what if history") that they check out the thread. It has very high participation and is quite advanced in its analysis of history. To be perfectly honest, it is a much better arena for discussing alternate hsitory than any forum I've seen founded for discussing the subject.

Yeah, what Israelite said...except skip the beginning crap about Luckymoose being new and the naming conventions. das, Strategos, Little Boots, and I are all working on something or other.

Looking at the old Alternate History Thread II and Amenhotep's original Alternate History poll are also excellent.

ww2 whould be a lot shorter(more terratory-more men)

Because at the time of ww2, France and Britain had no more colonies?
That is altenate history.

Usually, I'd frown on what if threads, unless they're more tightly focused on a single theme.

Closed, lack of focus.
