  1. AHC: Make This Somehow Happen

    A couple months ago, I read Stephen Barnes' Lion's Blood, an AH where black Africans colonize the Americas and use captured Irish as slave labor. I always did like "opposite" history, so I got to thinking about how something like that could actually happen. I then got so carried away that this...

  2. AHC: John Brown does better

    How can we twist things so that John Brown's insurrection has a far greater immediate effect than it did OTL? Historically he only killed a few people and got himself hanged. How can we make his rebellion far more large-scale and successful? Would it help to replace John Brown with someone sane...

  3. The Lion Ascendant: A Zulu TL

    This is a third redux of the Zulu TL that I started, restarted, and then abandoned once I realized that I didn't know jack about where I was going to proceed or how I would go about doing it. My lack of certainty and my inability to properly research the subject led to that project being...

  4. AHC: Stable Haiti

    It's pretty well known that Haiti, for most of its history, has essentially been a massive shitstorm of barbarism, poverty, and economic and environmental degradation. While it did have some potential to stabilize in the interval between the second and third French invasion of the island, the...

  5. Africa Remade: A Map Game

    Now I saw that there was a post about a North American map game a page or so down, and I realized that I haven't seen one on this board in a long time. So the rules of this game are pretty simple: make up nations in Africa with a POD no later than 1400 C.E. They can be world powers, but they...

  6. How could the Zulu futher reform their Military?

    So the Zulu were pretty much revolutionary in tactics and warfare among the tribes of southern Africa, and even with iron-age weapons they still managed to beat the British and scatter the Boers a couple times. Now how could they upgrade their military tactics so that their armies would be...

  7. The Lion Awakened: A Zulu TL

    Now I started this a few months back, and I never got around to updating it. I've had some time off recently, so I decided to start it back up, with heavy editing and actual follow-up. Plus, the Zulu are some of the most badass people on Earth, which helps. The POD is where King Shaka isn't...

  8. Mongols vs. Sassanids

    So let's just say that the Sassanids survive through some POD, maybe a destruction of the ERE by some barbarians, or Islam contained to Arabia, or something of the sort. They are restricted to Persia and maybe some of Mesopotamia, but they are centralized and powerful. In the beginning of the...

  9. How to Create Advanced Civilizations in Africa?

    Sub-Saharan Africa hasn't had much by way of large, advanced civilizations, for a variety of reasons. What could allow it to spawn nations culturally on par with Greece, or militarilly on par with Rome? Maybe the eradication of the tsetse fly, or less hostile environments in the Congo?

  10. The Lion of the Veld: A Zulu ATL

    This timeline has two major points of divergence from the OTL of the Zulu kingdom: King Shaka manages to escape the attempt on his life, and continues to expand his empire further, bringing him and his exploits to the attentions of greater powers, who begin to view him as a threat(he also...

  11. AH Challenge: Native Americans resist European colonization

    This is going to be pretty difficult, but... I've been wondering if there's any way at all that Native Americans could have managed to resist the Europeans who tried to take over their land. They suffered debilitating disadvantages; their weaponry was inferior, they had no established...

  12. Could the Aztecs and Incas have Collided?

    Let's pretend that the Europeans are somehow too distracted by some factor to find the Americas. Could the Aztecs and the Incas, the greatest Native American empires, expand enough to meet and possibly conflict? Or would internal problems destroy them before any contact is possible?

  13. Could the Zulu have conquered South Africa?

    I know this is kind of farfetched, but... Could the Zulu, led by Shaka, conquer all of South Africa? They did manage to rule a number of local tribes, but they never went across the Tugela river or over the Drakensberg Mountains, where they might have come into contact with the Xhosa or the...
