  1. AHC: A Three-way cold war -- with the Middle East

    This is based on a strange dream I had, and it made me curious if there were some parts that were possible. Essentially, the challenge is this: A three-way cold war by the end of the 20th century/early 21st century, between the United States, Russia and some sort of unified Middle Eastern...

  2. AHC: Make NYC look like Detroit

    Inspired by this thread. Between 1950-2010, Detroit went from 1.8 million people to about .7 million. During that same period, New York went from 7.8 million to 8.2 million. The Challenge: With a POD no earlier than 1950, make the 2010 population of the New York City, or rather the area which...

  3. An Alternate Browser War

    I have no plans to make a full timeline out of this. I was just thinking about a small idea the other day, and the next thing I know, this came out. I had nothing better to do with it, so why not put it up here? Consider it a proof of concept, or a request for comments. Anyway, I've seen...

  7. WI Burgundian Conquistadors

    In trying to play with the Age of Discovery, I came upon this thread https://www.alternatehistory.com/Discussion/showthread.php?t=137857&highlight=burgundy, along with others which seem to favor a surviving Burgundy, and it gave me an idea. Unfortunately, I know very little about European...

  8. Question: How do the British keep all of the Red River Valley?

    I'm trying to mess with the borders of the Upper Midwest U.S. Without going too far back before the War of 1812, what would it have taken for the British to have wanted to hold on more tightly to the entire Red River Valley in the treaty of 1818, instead of cutting it off at the 49th parallel...
