Private Notes
When Columbus sailed the ocean blue he figured he was headed for Asia. He didn't. But what if he did? What if the world actually looked like Columbus thought it did? All the strange misconceptions Europe had included.
Vladimir the Great had a choice to make, and he chose Orthodox Christianity. But what if he chose Islam instead? How could this have changed Russia's history? Would there be a Russia. Here's one scenario.
For some reason Vladimir the Great picked Islam in an alternate timeline. The ramifications for this were tremendous. Probably destroyed the idea of Russia at all. Would Russia turn to Central Asia? Would Novgorod be its own independent state?
The Haitian Revolution was the most successful slave revolt in history. While the history passed that has been, rough. It still affected a lot of minds in the 19th century. So what if the Haitian Revolution failed?
The Challenger Disaster is one of the most tragic events in American space travel. It also almost ended up involving Big Bird from Sesame Street. What if Big Bird had been on that rocket? Why did it take me so long to make this video. Let's find out.
The Swedish Empire was once a leading power in Europe. Its fall led to Russia's rise. What if in an alternate timeline Sweden never lost that prestige? What if it won the Great Northern War?
In 1903, there was a man named Horatio. He really liked cars. He wagered a bet that he could cross the US in under 90 Days. Not a big deal today. But this was before highways, and paved roads. This was going to be a journey.
Yeah this is quite the idea. What if nobody crossed into Beringia thousands of years ago? What if Europeans came across the New World and it was just, empty? So much changes, but I tried to sum it up quickly.
Time for EmperorTigerstar and I to talk about Turtledove. An annual tradition. We decided this time to use a more laid back format.
Is it the worst? Maybe not. But its the worst I read so far. What if the eastern part of the US was in the middle of the ocean? That'd be something. Thats the plot of the 'Atlantis' series.
William Randolph Hearst was a strange man. A rich man. But a strange one. And he'd soon build an empire off of nothing but his own two hands and his father's money. His life was weird and his story was even weirder.
There once was a rich man who was so weird they made a movie about him. That movie was Citizen Kane. I am not kidding. This is the story of William Hearst. A early media mogul and absolute weirdo.
Everyone has their favorite period in history. Mine happens to be a period not too long ago. But everyone dressed really weird so I think we all collectively agreed to forget. The early modern period. A time when Poland was a superpower. The Ottomans ruled half the Mediterranean. And the Holy Roman Empire was, existing...barely.
Quebec. A French state in an English world. Quebec has often wished to go its own way, and it almost did in 1995. But then they didnt. So what if they had voted to leave? Probably would have caused a lot of headaches.
On Christmas Eve 1800, Napoleon took a ride through Paris. And then something exploded. This is the tale of how Napoleon narrowly escaped a grim fate before he even led his armies across Europe.
