  1. WI: Cold War averted/delayed/less intense

    Stalin would probably be an obstacle, but what I’m looking for is a more cooperative global environment where maybe the US and USSR see each other as competitors but not enemies. I’d assume if the USSR had allowed Eastern European countries to develop fair democratic governments (not puppets)...

  2. If Soviets survive, what's the effect on Asia and America?

    If they end up still somewhat powerful, would America be more friendly to China? If modern Americans are worried about Putin, the USSR would be much scarier. What about relationships between India and the Soviets? Pakistan? China? Iran? Btw when I say "Soviets survive", I just mean that there...

  3. WI: Soviets help the KMT win the Chinese Civil War

    The CCP was overly focused on agriculture, and Stalin had a rocky relationship with Mao. What happens if Chiang argues that the KMT is the real Marxist-Leninist state because it's focused on socialism, and Stalin accepted these arguments as true?

  4. WI: Asian South Africa

    Apparently, the Dutch wanted to recruit Chinese coolies for labor in South Africa, but nobody wanted to go that far. What if the Dutch were able to convince them to go to South Africa, and South Africa got an Asian majority? What would happen?

  5. AHC: Get Sino-Sino relations up

    The title might be slightly confusing. Basically, try to get the ROC (Taiwan) to be at least friendly with the PRC (China). There's several issues that they agree on, like the South China Sea issue. This might require a GMD leader in Taiwan.

  6. AHC/WI: Japan vs. Russia in WWI

    Is there any way for Japan to fight Russia in WWI? Bonus if you can get them to keep the Anglo-Japanese treaty. What are the effects?

  7. WI: Russian Reform after Russo-Japanese War

    In The Guns of August, I read about how Grand Duke Nicholas had this Council of National Defense whose role was similar to the Esher Committee, but they got blocked by the reactionaries in Russia. Is it possible for them to succeed and reform?

  8. Death of a Monarchy: Before Varennes

    June 20, 1791 in Tuileries Palace, Paris: “Come on! We have to go!” the king shouted. Dorky and derpy as always “We’re going already,” the coach’s driver said, annoyed. “Are we almost there?” the queen asked, leaning forward. The big hat isn't helping you here, Marie. Especially since...

  9. Why couldn't India conquer Persia?

    I've seen many timelines where Persia conquered India. Why can't India conquer Persia? Can it?

  10. Maxim-um of Österreich: An Austria wank

    Maxim-um of Österreich (Do you get the joke? Maxim-ilian - Maxim-um?) An Austria-wank Whoops, the knife slipped. Whoops, Joseph and Maximilian weren't there to save you. It had been around 1 PM. The date had been February 18, 1853. And the emperor... had been... well, the emperor...

  11. Why was the Khmer Empire so disunited?

    I'm writing a timeline right now, and a main character visits Cambodia and meets up with Suryavarman II. Still, there's a problem I don't understand. Why was the Khmer Empire so disunited? Was it because of the mandala system?

  12. WI: Franz Josef Assassinated in 1853

    What are the effects? Franz Josef is replaced with Kaiser Maximilian.

  13. WI: Qing expands Green Standard Army

    The POD is in the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, where the Eight Banners failed fairly miserable. Instead of withdrawing them, the emperor decides to plunge all of them in, certain that they can't lose to the Han. Well, they do lose to the Han, and the Banners are all wiped out. Frustrated...

  14. WI: Cixi is anti-West but pro-Russia-style reform

    What would the effects be? And what about the reverse, pro-West and anti-Russia? In case you didn't know, :rolleyes: China was pro-Russia (but not pro-Russia-reforms). They were among the top only Europeans China respected because of their land empire. So... Extreme Pro-Russia Cixi?

  15. WI: No Taiwan

    It's not a hard POD. The Communist invasion of Taiwan succeeds, and all of China is united under the Communists. What effects does this have? From what I know, the Communist-American relationship was impaired by the existence of Taiwan. Without Taiwan, what happens to that? Korean War...

  16. WI: East Asian Government Trade

    Eh, the title sounds weird. Whatever. As most of us already know, Confucius is rumored to have said that merchants were bad because they didn't produce anything. Under the same idea, government bureaucrats don't really 'produce much' either. So what would happen if the governments (Ming...

  17. Ex Oriente Lux: A Legacy of Song China Industrialization

    You: "Another Timeline, Mr. Zhuge?" Me: "Yes." You: "But you haven't finished any yet-" Me: "Yes." You: "And I've heard of Ex Oriente Lux before..." Me: "Yes." You: "And you've gotten permission from ComradeHuxley, right?" Me: "Yes." So, without further to do, let me present... Ex...

  18. WI: Bigger Silk Road Trade from China in the 1000's to 1200's

    What are the effects on Central Asia? Persia? Byzantines?

  19. WI: Yuan is willing to assimilate into China

    IOTL the Mongols tried really hard to not assimilate into Chinese customs and stuff. What if they didn't, and acted like the Northern Wei?

  20. To Imjin or Not: That is the Timeline

    "No," the Wanli Emperor said. "The foolish Ribenren (old name for Cipanguans) believe that they will be able to subdue Corea. I suppose they will try to invade us, but how? They would only get as far as Liaodong. No, I say that we cut Riben (old name for Cipangu) off from Corea. We don't have to...
