You asked for it
More than one person has suggested a history forum, and on a political board it makes perfect sense. There are plenty of what ifs to consider, and plenty of room to argue about the winner getting to write history.
Hope to see some good stuff.
Regards,
D-Ray

LOL! "Like, dudes, this event was important. Man, it was so important you should like totally learn it.
Whoa man. What was I saying? Oh yeah... dudes, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."

Here's a historical missive: if the French had actually backed Pontiac's Rebellion instead of making peace with the British and telling us (the Ottawa) after we laid siege to a bunch of cities in "the colonies" which eventually failed, we'd all be speaking French and not bastardized English.
