  1. Been Winning So Long, I've Lost It - The Long War TL

    PROLOGUE "So we are a schizophrenic culture of sorts, a nation of amateurs that can almost magically transform itself into a culture of professional killers." - Victor Davis Hanson "The situation... in Central Asia is similar to that of all civilized states that come into contact with...

  2. Britain Loses The Second Anglo-Afghan War

    Historically, England was able to defeat Afghanistan and ensure it would serve as an effective buffer state against the Russians, helping to check their expansion. So, suppose things go rather worse for the English and they are unable to gain any concessions from the Afghan government. However...

  3. Could the Years of Lead have turned out differently?

    Now that I'm done with school, I've been researching various Cold War tidbits to look for interesting divergences for the Dewey TL... One of the things I started to read about in more detail was the Years of Lead in Italy, when there were various neofascist terrorist attacks, attempted coups...

  4. Dewey wins TL (ex-contest entry)

    Unfortunately, I had virtually no time to work on this, and now that I think about it I'm probably going to change a lot of what happened after 1964. So, rather than attempting to finish this in time for the deadline, here is some of the TL so far. 1949 Dewey was inaugurated after a...

  5. Franco-American War TL

    https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=38171 The XYZ Affair As the relations between the US and France worsen, news of this diplomatic insult shocks the United States. Privateer combat intensifies along with American outrage at this new act. The young nation begins to...

  6. Ralph Peter's Middle East

    A very weird vision by Peters that would 'reduce middle eastern conflict'. Discuss... Possible to achieve? Geopolitical effects?

  7. The Franco-American War of 1798

    (This is very sketchy right now, so feel free to comment and correct. Not gonna write much actual AH yet so I can see what people think about it all...) The XYZ Affair As the relations between the US and France worsen, news of this diplomatic insult shocks the United States. Privateer combat...

  8. The Tumult of '56

    (Inspired by ideas posited at https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=38120) The First Match: September-December 1955 Nasser makes a large arms deal with the nation of Czechloslovakia, infuriating the West. In response, Western nations cancel financial aid for Egypt...

  9. Israel pre-empts in 1973

    Israeli intelligence dismissed a lot of the buildup to Yom Kippur as 'exercises', and as a result, was hit first in a surprise attack. But suppose, as a result of increased terrorism or luck, Israeli intelligence decides to interpret the troop movements for what they are, and launches a...

  10. The paper's right! WI Dewey gets elected?

    Not quite sure how it could have happened, but if it did, what effects would we see on the birth of the Cold War and new crisis in Korea? Yes... If you haven't noticed, I've taken a bit of a liking to Cold War PODs. :rolleyes:

  11. The High Ground: Space Race meets Arms Race

    From my 'Nuclear WIs' thread, tentative map and TL seen on map thread. This is just a plausibility test. The POD: 1966 Overview: 1966-1970 Major technical problems delay the Defense Support Project, pushing the first satellite launches into the early 1970s. The US still makes it to the...

  12. Nuclear WIs?

    First off, this TL is Bush's fault. Listening to the morning radio, I heard his 'infamous' four-letter word, which was played along with other humorous Republican on-air gaffes, including Reagan's 'five minutes' quip. So now I'm off to write a 1980s TL. But first, here are some questions. 1...

  13. Andrew Jackson dies in the Revolution

    Considering he got broadsided by a sword once, I don't think it's unrealistic to assume that Jackson could have easily not made it through the war alive. What happens to America without him?

  14. Murphy's Law in Korea? MacArthur gets his day...

    I don't see a lot of Korea related AH, so... Any way MacArthur could have crossed the Yalu River? Triggered WWIII? Done so without getting orders from the President? Perhaps Dewey is elected? Discuss... I'll be taking notes.

  15. US-UK War in the 20s or 30s.

    Is it possible? And how would it be? I've taken a break from the Mexican Intervention TL by looking at an alternate WWI onward TL where Germany somehow wins later in the war and the US doesn't get involved, setting the stage for more sour relations between the Brits, French, and Americans. Any...

  16. The Liberator that Wasn't: Simon Bolivar dies early?

    In 1803 María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa, the wife of Simon Bolivar, dies of yellow fever. Let's suppose he does as well, or dies some time before his liberation of Latin America begins. Any ideas what happens?

  17. The Reluctant Empire: A more successful Maximillian

    After doing research on Mexico for the Zapatista timeline, I figured I throw my hat in at this one. Granted my knowledge of European history around this time is a bit lax, but we'll see if I can brush up on it before I get to the Franco-Prussian war... 1862: The Invasion Begins The Mexican...

  18. Chiapas Revolt (Mexican Intervention) Timeline

    Discussion Thread:https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=26116&page=7 [1994] The POD: A much more ‘thorough’ campaign against Marcos EZLN command structure is located through bribery of the newspapers that publish them and some (possibly US assisted) bushwork. In...

  19. The War of Mexican Intervention? (~1995)

    Well, its my first post here, so be nice. I've been on a bit of a binge of reading about globalization and anti-globalization, and I came up with this little scenario. Any comments and suggestions would be heartily accepted. POD: 1994 1994- EZLN command structure is located through bribery...
