  1. What if Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin didn't "steal" the Parthenon Marbles?

    What would have been the fate of those marbles, if he hadn't took them? :confused:

  2. WI : Pu Yi was tutored by a Japanese or a German tutor?

    I know it can seem stupid, but somehow I think that Pu Yi's decision to set himself in the path of personal westernization weakened his power on the old administration and broke all his lasting links with the population. It's perhaps idiotic, but I feel that Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston...

  3. What if: Clemenceau died before the signature of Versailles Treaty?

  4. WI : Hitler is considered exempt by the Bavarian army and denied to join the war?

  6. WI : What if the Confederates adopted the Gatling gun

    From http://www.americancivilwarstory.com/gatling-gun.html Instead of the governor of Indiana, the test is made in Raleigh and in front of the governor of North Carolina, after all Gatling was a Tar Heel. Zebulon Baird Vance recognizes this new object as a revolutionnary weapon and decides to...

  12. WI : domestification/herding of Sirenians

    Reading the thread named "Hippo farming in the USA?", I just had an idea. What if humans domesticated or herded sea cows? Manatees are gentle and slow-moving. Most of their time is spent eating, resting, and in travel. They may rest submerged at the bottom or just below the surface, coming up...

    Your challenge is to improve the state of the Russian military at the dawn of WWI. The aim is to have a Russian military at the same level of the german military and still on the Allies side. The POD shouldn't be earlier than the end of the Crimean War (1856). Good luck :cool:

  16. AHC/WI Christopher Lee was/played James Bond?

    I won't shock by explaining how awesome Christopher Lee is. But I would like to suggest that he could have played James Bond. After all, he was a badass, an actual British intelligence operative and Fleming's step-cousin. He is also fluent in a lot of languages, an opera singer and related to...
