  1. TLIAWOS: Cantando los Cuarenta

    W-what is this? It is what the title says. A Timeline in a Week Or So. Oh. So you can't resist jumping in the bandwagon, can't you? I'm actually doing it only so I can have an excuse to do this silly thing with the fake dialogue. All the cool kids are doing it. So what does that title in...

  2. La victoire de la Grande Armée, by Valery Giscard d'Estaing

    I saw this book in my last trip to France, and, well, it's not every day that you see an AH novel written by a former Head of State: http://www.amazon.fr/victoire-Grande-Val%C3%A9ry-Giscard-dEstaing/dp/2259213901 The PoD is Napoleon having a common sense attack and deciding to evacuate Moscow...

  3. Wargame: European Escalation

    This game may or may not be an experiment to test MacCaulay's resistance to espontaneous orgasms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIe9T_VDWc So it is an AH RTS with wargame elements like chains of supply, ammo count, realistically modeled vehicles and all that, set in an hypothetical WWIII in...

  4. WI: Bancor and ICU implemented after Bretton Woods

    For those who don't know, the Bretton Woods conference in 1944 set up the basis of postwar financial order and created several institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to ensure financial stability. The most lasting legacy of the Breton Woods conference was the...

  5. Jour J: a french AH-themed comic series

    One of the most striking aspects I found of living in France is the amazing quality and quantity of homegrown comics, specially compared to Spain,where there are only american superhero comics (boring), manga (boooooring) or artsy comics for hipsters (BOOOOOOOORING). Meanwhile I am fascinated by...

  6. Unbuilt America: Forgotten architecture from Thomas Jefferson to the space age

    I found this book at the library of my new school, and thought it would be interesting to share. It was published in 1976 by avantgarde group SITE and consists of a torough index of unbuilt architectural projects in the United States, ranging from the banal to the batshit insane. I thought of...

  7. Cultural effects of a nuclear war.

    I came with the idea for this thread after reading Amerigo's Cuban Missile War Timeline, where human civilisation survives in a reasonable state despite all the death and destruction. Still, this war would destroy most european and american cities. Think of all the ancient cities, museums and...

  8. "Quizá nos lleve el viento al infinito", by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester

    This novel's title, that AFAIK is still untranslated to english, could be translated as "Maybe the wind will take us to the infinite", which is its closing sentence. Yes, this is a "serious" novel written by a "serious" novelist. With robots. And lasers. And spies. There are some background...

  9. Balkanized India with a post-independence POD?

    My knowledge of indian history is really sketchy, so I'd like some help with this. Esentially, what is the best POD for a balkanized India post-1947? With Balkanized I mean that the subcontinent ought to be divided in many countries (say 7 or 8) instead of only two or three as in OTL. I think...

  10. Japan chooses not to attack Pearl Harbour. What do americans do?

    In OTL the japanese attacked Pearl Harbour to wipe the US fleet because they feared that the US would declare war on them when they tried to invade south east Asia. What if the japanese decide that awakening the sleeping giant is too much of a risk and decide to attack the british and dutch...

  11. Churchill dies during the war, is succeded by Jan Smuts

    ...Before this is sent to the ASB forum, read this little thing I found while researching for my Timeline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Smuts#Second_World_War So suppose Churchill dies in 1940-42 and this plan goes along. Is it even constitutional, for starters? What effects this would...

  12. Soviet-Japanese conflict in 1939-1941

    This may, or may not, be related to my timeline. Suppose the Japanese and soviets do not sign a non agression pact and a great scale conflict starts in 1940 over Manchuria and Mongolia. Is there any way for the japanese to win or at least force a favourable peace before, say, 1942? EDIT: I...

  13. No Spanish Civil War in 1936 (my new Timeline)

    This is my oldest AH Project: a Timeline where the Spanish Civil War never happened and the weak Spanish democracy somehow managed to survive and did not become a fascist or communist dictature. This is tough, and bordering implausibility, but doable. Three years ago, I wrote a Timeline in...

  14. Order vs Progress World: I need a PoD, gentlemen

    THE ORDER VS PROGRESS WORLD The Order Vs Progress scenario started in the now deceased Othertimelines.com forums back in April 2006 as a roleplaying wargame. I don’t remember exactly which were the main influences behind it, but I remember I suddenly found myself tinkering with the idea...

  15. Kosovo 1999: Air campaign is not enough

    During the 1999 war against Serbia, NATO was in the brink of mounting a land invasion of Kosovo. The air campaign against Serbia was supposed to last a few days or weeks during which the serbian military would be trashed to pieces. Actually, after 80 days of combined bombardments, the serbian...

  16. A Spanish-Moroccan War in 2002

    Discussion Thread PROLOGUE The brief Spanish-Moroccan war in the summer of 2002 was the culminating point in decades of frictions between both countries. What started as a stupid border incident escalated into a short but bloody war that changed forever the politics of Northern Africa and...

  17. A Spanish-Moroccan War in 2002

    Well, this is my first attempt to do a TL in two years, and it probably must be full of mistakes and innacuracies, so feedback is welcome. This is the beginning: A WAR ON THE STRAIT: SPANISH-MOROCCAN WAR OF 2002 What if the Perejil Island Incident in July 2002 had gone terribly wrong? July...

  18. An alternate 1900

    After months of lurking, I decided to post some creative work by me. It's not very much, but I hope you enjoy it. It's based on a wargame I wrote in otl.com a couple of months ago The Workers' Times, London, January 2nd, 1900 THE NATION RECEIVES A NEW CENTURY WITH HOPE Yesterday's...

  19. Alternate Cold Wars

    Well, I see most of the 20th century based TL's always keep the same scheme: There's a devastating world war in some moment between 1900 and 1920, followed by several years of chaos and installation of authoritarian governments in the losing countries, followed by an even worse world war...

  20. The Vatican Republic

    Can someone make up a plausible timeline or POD for a Vatican Republic being today an independent state covering at least part of Italy? I imagine it as a catholic version of Iran, with an elect president but with the actual power in ayat... Papal hands :D . Although you can set up its...
