I think the main issue here is the butterflies. If we do not ignore the butterflies sometimes, it would not be fun. :( Christianity existed before the Catholic Church. The Romans were unable to purge all Christians in the empire and in distant areas in the Middle East. The Christianity idea...

If the Romans had never allowed the Christianity in the empire, Europe would be pagan. Without a strong organized religion, the Europeans would be more tolerant with other religions. During the Middle Ages, the Muslims would invade the Iberian Peninsula and nobody would fight to expel them. It...

New flag of the Populist Republic of Brazil (In RTL, they want to lynch the author there :p) Flag of New Portugal (Napoleon won the war. Rio de Janeiro was renamed to New Lisbon) Flag of the Federative Union of the Slavic Republics Scandinavian Union

The POD may be in 1600. The socialism philosophy is invented and the socialism replaces most European monarchies. The technology improves and the industrial revolution starts. How would the world be like nowadays if the industrial revolution had started in a socialist region? (The socialism...

I did not specify the moments for the POD. We could have two PODs. The first POD should delay the European development. It may be a POD in Medieval Europe to keep Europe in the Middle Ages for more 1000 or 2000 years, or a POD that prevents the birth of the Greek and the Roman Empire. The...

If the European people had never arrived in America and had never undergone the Industrial Revolution, and if the Industrial Revolution had started in North America by the indigenous people, how would the North America map be like 300 years after the beginning of the revolution?

In an old thread, the attempt of making Brazil a superpower failed. In this thread, let's change the goal to have the HDI as good as possible. With the POD after 1800, make a South-American country have optimal administration after their independence in order to they have HDI as good as...

I have modified the title of the thread. The consequences are more interesting than the cause. In the ATL, would something like cold war happen? Would the ATL Russia be a rival for the USA? How would the Russian influence be in the world? Original message: In a timeline in which Russia is a...

WI: Capitalist Russian - If Russia had not become socialist If Russian had not become socialist, what would have happened to it during the 20th century and how would it be in the 21th century?

With optimal administration, how advanced could Brazil have become? These are my suggestions: A POD in 1815 After the defeat of Napoleon, a coup occurs in Portugal in 1815 and John VI is unable to return to Portugal. Then, John VI declares the independence of Brazil and becomes the first...

Tripolar Cold War is interesting Some conditions: -Hitler makes no alliance with Japan or Japan does not attack Pearl Harbor. -Hitler is successful in invading the UK in 1939-1940. -Hitler does not start a war against the Soviet Union. -The three countries need nuclear weapons to avoid wars. I...

With the POD between 1800 and 1825 and the end of the timespan in 2000, make Brazil more advanced and powerful than the USA (or as much advanced and powerful as possible) without weakening the USA. In the end of the ATL, Brazil should be the first superpower and the USA be the second one. The...

With the POD anytime between 1910 and 1930, how would a different Soviet Union be in 2000? In the alternate timeline, the Soviet Union would not enter in a cold war and instead of wasting resources with military things, it would use the resources to improve the welfare of the population. It...

A dissolution is possible when all members do not want to be united. The states would be against the president, they would not be against the union. If they cannot remove the president, they will leave the union and start a new union. You will need to find a reason to make the independent states...

Actually I am a hobbyist. I am not professional in history and sociology. :p 1. The colonization of Louisiana could start during the 16th or 17th century. Wars in Europe and religious persecution are some reasons to make people leave Europe. I have been thinking about the rise of something...
