Hello TSGracchus,

I know we have our differences, but this is an interesting thread you started. Being an avid reader of Science Fiction and history, among other things, I have always been interested in alternative history stories. Have you read any of Harry Turtledove's alternative histories?

Amazon.com: Harry Turtledove: Books

He has written alternative histories of the American Civil War -- the Union and the Confederacy end in stalemate. From that he goes on with an alternative history of WW I with the Union becoming an ally of Germany and the South joining forces with Britain. He also has written alternative histories of WW II. My fun favorite is his "what if" aliens attack Earth in the middle and at the height of WW II when all sides are engaged and fighting, after Pearl Harbor but before D-Day.

Good thread, obviously since it did not sink like a stone, and tashi deleks,

M
