  1. Double-Blind Challenge: Castilian-Navarrese-Aragonese Union!

    The challenge, should you accept it, is to form a union of these three crowns with a POD no earlier than 1460. Bonus points if this blob somehow becomes a dominant world power sometime after 1500. And if you want an extra-harder challenge, try getting Portugal into the mix too! :D

  2. DBWI: No Invasion of Japan

    Well, as you all know, WWII ended as a Pyrrhic Victory for the US, having been bled dry by Japan until the Soviets finally joined the Pacific Theatre in 1949. So, I have 2 questions: Is there any way for the US to avoid the costly invasion of Japan? How would post-war dynamics change if the...

  3. AHC/PC: Imperial Japanese Civil War

    So, I've seen many threads stating that Japanese involvement in World War II was more or less unavoidable because of militarism and their adventures in China. So, let's take this militarism to the extreme! With a POD dating to Hirohito's ascension (December 25th, 1926), would it be possible...

  4. Corporate AH Challenge: Restaurant to Space Exploration

    We've seen weird things happen with corporations throughout history, such as a shipbuilder going into the auto industry, playing card makers going into video games, a ceramic company going into kitchenware and electronics, and even a de facto government turning into a department store! That got...

  5. DBWI: Singapore Expelled in 1965!

    As you know, Malaysia is currently dealing with problems with the Singapore Liberation Front. It's ironic, seeing that Singapore begged to stay in the Federation in 1965 and brokered a last-second deal to override the Malaysian Parliament's vote to expel the state. What would happen if the...

  6. DBWI: Judge-Made Law Still Applies to Present Day

    Alright, I was just reading through the history of law and I came upon this article on how in the past, a judge's decision could become law. My question is, how would this system of judge-made law affect life in the present day if it still applies today?

  7. Double Blind Challenge: An American Becomes Governor of Hudson's Bay Company

    Inspired by this thread, find a plausible way for an American to become a Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company. Extra points if HBC survives to present day like it does right now.

  8. WI the British East India Company becomes a present-day Department Store!!!

    Hey, it happened to its Canadian cousin, the Hudson's Bay Company. How would this happen?

  9. This is Jail

    What would it take for the USA to have jails or prisons to be like this one? Personally, I think it could work for jails, but not for prisons...

  10. DBWI: No Cinq-de-Mai

    Every year, Mexico celebrates Cinq-de-Mai, which falls on the day when French forces finally liberated Mexico City from the corrupt and autocratic government of Juarez, and instituted the Empire. This event, of course, resulted in more European invenstments in the country, and is primarily...

  11. September 10, 2001: Al-Qaeda Beaten to the Punch

    Monday, September 10, 2001. 7:00 a.m. Four men meet in a small room, finalizing the plan in which they shall execute the following morning with about twelve other men. They pray to Allah for the success of the mission. Eventually, one of the men turn on the television to hear the news...

  12. DBWI: The Hudson's Bay Company Becomes a Department Store!!!

    I know this is one of the most ridiculous WI's ever presented here, but WI instead of focussing on governmental and colonial activities like their cousin the East India Company, the HBC instead focussed on its mercantile activities and eventually ends up as a mere department store instead of...

  13. Guess What Happened...

    The World as of January 1, 1950:

  14. Two Kings, One Crown

    WI Louis XIII and Anne of Austria indeed bore twin sons as firstborns. Furthermore, Louis XIII kept the fact of which one was born first a secret. And before Louis XIII died, he issued a proclamation that his sons, Phillippe and Fernand (who is in the OTL Louis XIV), would be co-regents of...

  15. Spanish-American War, Different Outcome

    Let's say that Admiral Dewey's fleet sank in the Pacific during a freakish storm en route to Hong Kong just prior to the Spanish-American War. True, the good old US of A would still kick Spanish ass in the Carribean Theatre, so they would still gain Cuba (temporarily) and Puerto Rico. But in...
