  1. other monotheisms

    the monotheistic traditions of today all derive from the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition - but I wonder were there other monotheistic impulses in other parts of the world? Something not related to the J-C-I tradition? if such a religion (or religions) survived and thrived, how would the...

  2. The United States of Draka and the American Domination

    I had a funny thought while perusing throught my Draka collection again... what if the complete inverse of the Draka universe occurred - meaning that the colony of Drakia becomes the defender of democracy and freedom and the American colonies become the meglomanical, hyper aggressive slvae...

  3. crusader states

    what if some or all of the crusader states survived into the 20th century? Into shat form would they have evolved, and what effect would they have had in the development of history?

  4. Baekjae

    During the Korean 3 Kingdoms period, the South-western kingdom of Baekjae established and maintained good relations with Yamato-era Japan. There was a great deal of two-exchange of ideas, trade, people, etc. This culminated in and ended when Silla ended up unifying the peninsula and some...

  5. A slightly different ACW outcome

    Let's say that in the early years of the ACW, the CSA wins independence. Flash forward a decade or so, and let's say again that the CSA breaks apart into smaller regional entities or independent states. The Union may or may not make a try at trying to integrate some of these breakaway states...

  6. Things that make you go hmmmm.....

    What if our timeline was someone else's ATL? In particular, caused by time travel from the other timeline? Can you think of actual historical examples in our own timeline that if you had read in an AH book you would say looked obviously (or not-so obviously) like results of manipulations by...

  7. Alexandrian East vs. Roman West

    The Threa" Alexander goes west" got me thinking... What if Alexander had lived just long enough to secure and stabilize his empire (maybe he got persuaded finally to hold off on his world conquests schemes until his holdings were stable) as well as secure a successor. Let's assume that his...

  8. guns in asia

    In OTL: In the 1590s, after Hideyoshi had consolidated his power, he invaded Korea. There were actually two invasions, spaced about 5 years apart. His goal was to subjugate Korea (enough to pass through it) and challenge China. Korea fought back, and eventually so did Ming China. Eventually...

  9. an Urban ATL

    OK, usually we ATLers deal with massive, world spanning things, so let's shrink down our perspective a little. How do we change the status of an OTL city that is in decline into one of world prominence. For example, we all know NYC and LA to be mega cities, rich, influential, etc. But other...

  10. No Constantine conversion

    What if Constantine didn't convert to Christianity? Let's say that he does well like in OTL, but instead of becoming a full fledged convert, he concedes to simply not prosecuting the CHrsitians. So they don't have Rome on their case anymore, but neither do the Chrsitians have official sanction...

  11. Parlimentary American government

    What kind of POD would be needed to have an independent USA (that is, a successful AR) but one where the government is not the two-house congressional system we have now, but a parlimentary one not unlike the British model. I would assume it would have to be a POD that takes place during the...

  12. female monotheism vs. male monotheism

    Here's an idea: how can we have an ATL where the dominant religious/philosophical divisions is between a monotheistic religion where the deity is portrayed as a male and in a male-like way (like in OTL) vs. one where the monotheistic deity is portrayed as a female or a female like manner? I'm...

  13. Post-Cold-War, non-Soviet rival to the US

    How can we have a POD where after the fall of the USSR in the early 90s, there is not a power vacuum where the old Russian Bear used to be, and the US is not the sole superpower? Everyone used to talk about how the Japanese were going to be the next US rival (remember Rising Sun?) in the...

  14. Confederate-Union Alliance

    How can we have a POD where the US breaks up and the Confederates gain independence, and somewhere down the timestream we end up (by the year 2004) with a COnfederate-Union Alliance about as close as the Anglo-American alliance that we see now? Presumably it'll be easier if there is an amiable...

  15. A different Thermopylae

    Everyone knows the story of the Greeks/Spartans v Persians at Thermopylae. The Greeks were doing well for 5-6 days until a traitor, Ephialtes, showed the Persian King Darius a secret way through the mountains. The rest of the Greeks fled/strategically retreated, but the Spartans and a few...

  16. Rome v China

    How do we have a situation where we have Roman legions clashing with Chinese imperial troops?

  17. The Great Wall of Roma

    What if the Roman Empire, throughout its history, built a great wall like the Chinese EMpire did throughout its history. AFAIK, the actual Great Wall that we know of today is a product of the Ming Dynasty, but it was built on top of and added to pre-existing walls that had been worked on by...

  18. Veterans and Civilians

    How do we get a Starship Troopers type society to occur in a country in this world? I am referring to the novel by Heinlein, not the movie. In it, the world is run by the military where only those who've served and are considered veterans are eligigble for political franchise, everyone else...
